Dr Gregory Simons (Part 2) on On the Fringe with Trish Wood - 13 Mar 2022
Mass propaganda has ignited an absurd push for escalation in Ukraine that would serve no one but the world’s elites and the US State department. Protests by a misguided citizenry on behalf of war violence is the latest empty virtue signal in western democracies where media are peddling a fact-free construct of good vs evil. Many will die if serious people don’t step in soon but that idea can't penetrate the true believers in their Ukraine flag pins and marches demanding a dangerous no-fly. Trish’s guest, Gregory Simons of Uppsala University in Sweden is an expert on the infowars between citizens, media and governments who want to control them.
