Gordon M. Hahn — The Myth of an Imminent Anti-Putin Coup: Rusological Fail or Stratcomm?


Gordon Hahn dissects what passes for news in the US regarding one specific issue. I have been following developments in Russia for some time and this is not restricted to one issue. Almost nothing reported in the US media about Russia bears any resemblance to news coming from elsewhere and most of it can be dismissed as "stratcomm" (strategic communications aka disinformation and propaganda).

Here is an analysis by the highly reliable Alexander Mercouris about the reality of Sergei Ivanov as a possible successor to Putin should he retire, with a transcript of an Ivanov interview.

As Paul Craig Roberts aptly noted:

The reason that the West has no future is that the West has no media, only propagandists for government and corporate agendas and apologists for their crimes. Every day the bought-and-paid-for-media sustains The Matrix that makes Western peoples politically impotent.

The Western media has no independence. An editor of a major German newspaper has written a book, a best-seller published in Germany, in which he states that not only he himself served the CIA as a reliable purveyor of Washington's lies, but that every significant journalist in Europe does so also.
