How dumb are the masses of the world? One just has to look at the brazen, obvious false flag incidents that the elites keep piling on. Trained to be consumers of sensational news, the idiotic population of the West simply accepts allegations without thinking or analysis.
Let’s take a brief look at the claim that Putin/Kremlin/Russia used a deadly chemical weapon (called “Novichok”) against an ex-Russian spy who has been living in the UK for eight years. Within hours after the incident, the UK foreign minister – bozo Boris Johnson – claimed that Russia was behind the attack. Then Theresa May said it’s “highly likely” that Russia did it; and everyone translated that into “definitely Russia did it.” Now, of course, crazed warmonger Nikki Haley has joined the chorus and even tells people that Russia may use chemical weapons in New York.
Who has Novichok? Yes, Novichok was invented and produced by the USSR in the 1970s and 80s. But that was 30+ years ago. Hello! Did anyone take the time to wonder if it’s now possible for others to possess or make it?
Who’s Got CW? Russia got rid of all its chemical weapons under the supervision of OPCW. On the other hand, the US hasn’t destroyed all its chemical weapons yet and there are still two CW sites in the US! The US government claims it will destroy them within the next five years. Ha ha …
Samples Everywhere: The fact is that many labs around the world have samples of that deadly agent. It so happens that there is a UK military chemical lab in Porton Down, just a few miles from where the alleged incident took place. Each lab has a signature attached to it. If the UK wanted to be credible, it would release the samples to third parties — Russia and OPCW — so they can analyze it and see where it came from. But the UK refuses to do so.
Guess Who Lives in the US: The “father” of Novichok defected to the US a long time ago and lives in the US now. He brags about it openly on his Facebook page. His name is Vil Mirzayanov.
The Formula is Well Known: This guy also wrote a book and revealed the composition of the chemical agent.
Did the CIA get Hold of Novichok? The Novichok nerve agent was actually produced in a lab in Uzbekistan, which became a separate country after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Then it became very close to the US. As this 1999 New York Times article reveals, the US worked with the Uzbek government to dismantle the lab and helped many scientists emigrate/defect to the US. So, it’s safe to say that the CIA and the US military have Novichok. (Think of Operation Paperclip when Nazi scientists were brought into the US after World War II).
Is it possible that the entire story is bogus? This nerve agent is supposed to be super deadly, but the UK government advised people near the area to use “baby wipes“, “warm water” and “detergents” to clean their belongings. Really?
And then if you look at the photos of experts at the site, there are these guys in hazmat suits for visual impact. Then, along with them are UK cops without any protective material. Maybe they had baby wipes with them? It’s just like the nonsensical White Helmets story where they handle “Sarin gas victims” with bare hands. (Oh, btw, the White Helmets got millions of $$ of funding from the UK government).
Motives, Opportunities: In any crime, we must look at the motives and opportunities. The only ones to benefit from this are the West — US, UK, Israel and the globalists. These warmongers are just mad that Putin is helping Assad and ruining their psychotic plans for Middle East domination.
The Russian spy — Sergei Skripal — was a traitor who got arrested in 2004 for leaking state secrets to the UK. He was released in 2010 and sent to the UK as part of a spy-swap program. So Putin had 6 years to kill the guy in the Russian prison. But no! Putin would release him, wait for 8 more years, and then kill him in the most bizarre way possible just before the World Cup and just before the Russian presidential election. My God! Who believes this nonsense?
The only ones to benefit from this asymmetric propaganda war are Putin’s enemies.
How this idiotic country, UK, once gave birth to Shakespeare and then ruled the entire world is a mystery indeed. If in 2018, people believe such idiotic fairy tales, we are doomed to have World War III soon.

Well said Chris
Succinct and informative
‘My God! Who believes this nonsense?’ 75% of the British people, that is who!
50% of Americans believe that WTC 7 (what is that?) fell down in sympathy with WTC 1 and 2 on 9/11.
“Only 2 things are infinite. The Universe and human stupidity, and I am not certain about the Universe.”
– A Einstein.
In the US, the majority did not vote for Trump and most disappove.
Congress is disapproved by 80%
Most distrust the corporate media.
It is not the people who are stupid but the fools who believe the elite propaganda that promotes this idea to discredit majority disapproval of a terrible system including government and the media, both dominated by wealthy corportations.
The people are way ahead of both the politicians and the critics, who echo the elite disdain for the “stupid” people.
What has Trump got to do with 9/11?
Rasmussen Poll Reports a 49 Percent Approval Rating (feb 2018).
I see absolutely no evidence that Americans are smarter than turnips.
Those that do not swallow the CNN – MSNBC rubbish lap up the Fox nonsense.
The propaganda never ceases, and the mob love it.
Did I mention 9/11. Are you hallucinating, PJ? But here is what Trump did say in a 1999 interview: anyone who can’t get rich in America is a “moron.”
Rasmussen is a Republican voting firm with a strong conservative bias. To get unbiased view, you need to average the polls,as realclearpolitics does: it shows as of today Trump’s approval at 41.1% with Rasmussen giving him 47%, the outlier: 4 of the 10 polls have him under 40%.
Cherry picking is a logical fallacy. Most American distrust all corporate media including Fox news. The evidence is in the polling. Sept 2016: ” Americans’ trust and confidence in the mass media “to report the news fully, accurately and fairly” has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history, with 32% saying they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media. This is down eight percentage points from last year.”
Here is Oct 2017: ”
Poll: Public confidence in media rises as trust in Trump falls

Public trust in the news media is increasing as trust in the Trump administration decreases, new data from Reuters-Ipsos reveals.
A poll released Tuesday found that 48 percent of adults surveyed say they have a “great deal” or “some” confidence in the press, a 9-point increase from last November. Forty-five percent say they have “hardly any” confidence in the press, down from 51 percent.
The Reuters-Ipsos data also show that public confidence in President Trump has decreased among both Republicans and Democrats since the president took office.”
Still, most Americans do not trust the media tho they trust it more than they do Trump. The very latest Rasmussen poll, which is most pro-Trump, has him negative 5 (47-52).
As of 3/13, RCP shows that the approval for Congress is 14%, disapproval at 73%.
I suggest these polls show the wisdom and clarity of the majority of Americans.
‘ the wisdom and clarity of the majority of Americans.’
‘The very latest Rasmussen poll, which is most pro-Trump, has him negative 5 (47-52)’
So, an even split within the error of the polling.
The last time I had a discussion with an intelligent American was on Free republic in 2000, then 9/11 happened and all rationality fled the country. The sheep all went Baaaaa and flocked to being ‘safe’.
I do understand that you feel the need to defend your country, it is a sickness (see S Clements for details).
I claimed Americans are ‘stupid’ based on the beliefs behind WTC 7.
I did not mention Trump.
I do not care which clown is elected. It is all a circus and no matter who you vote for, a politician (by definition) gets elected.
The article opens with the sentence ; ‘How dumb are the masses of the world?’
My comment is that one cannot overestimate how truly stupid people are. Including the vast mass of Americans.
What, I repeat, has Trump to do with the article?
You are the last person to call the American people stupid. You failed to register that the Rasmussen poll results are far from the average of all polls and that even they show Trump disapproved by more people.
You are so stupid you can’t even figure out when you are committing a logical fallacy. Stop wasting our time with your arrogance laced ignorance.
Oh poor little diddums, did I claim that Rasmussen was representative?
Did I claim that it was the average of other polls?
Did I not in fact declare that Rasmussen ‘which is most pro-Trump’?
Not only were my statements non-fallacial, they were logical, accurate, true and informative.
Thank you for confirming my opinion of Turnips.
There is a difference between arrogance and true superiority. The reason that most of you have an inferiority complex about your intellects, is that you are actually inferior.
I am not wasting your time, but mine. I have this penchant for casting pearls, you see.
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”
Isaac Asimov, Newsweek, 21 January, 1980.
When people descend into the gutter to throw insults,, I do not read them and treat them as I would a pile of shit on the sidewalk.
The American people aren’t stupid, just ignorant and ignorance can be cured.
I agree wholeheartedly with you.
Thanks, expect the howling mob to be after your blood. See below for details.
How dumb are the masses of the world? The vast majority are politically illiterate and geopolitically ignorant.
USA – Donal Trump
Canada – Justin Trudeau
UK – Theresa May
France – Emmanuel Macron
Germany – Angela Merkel
How dumb do you have to be to elect these Finger Puppet Politicians? VERY!

Who was visiting UK during that nonsense??
Saudi crown Prince.
Where he was before visiting the UK?
Egypt.
Why they did thisand especially that way?
A gift for UK to help the UK add gas on Russian fire in return UK signed a deal of 100 of the latest generation Typhoons fighter jets because the CIA just blocked to Egypt a 140 Rafaels from France and they needed. Badly this type of jets either the Rafael or its better quality sister the Typhoon.
Those two countries are the planner.
And their objectives are actually much higher than anyone could image.
They are after the UNSC. Because the UNSC have caused to them a lot troubles in the past and they have been eyeing to dismantle it long time ago. That is why the first thing they did was to take the fight to the UNSC and ask the members to kick Russia out.
Then later they will go to Russia tell them we will help you to remove the western sanctions in return for weapons….. They are beyond excellent in this game.
Their gains are way higher than anyone could possibly imagine
But I will stop here and keep it short. Because both the world and the people are very short sighted people and incapable of understanding.
Whenever something like this incident occurs and the Western nations start flapping about how Putin did it, I immediately follow the money. Just who benefits from the evil deed? I cannot see any reason for Putin to authorize such a hit and dozens of reasons that he wouldn’t. The same reasoning holds firm for the MH 117 disaster over Ukraine. Putin got lambasted for it and suffered being considered a monster whereas Kiev got all the benefits and soft words of comfort. Surely you can understand where that scenario leads us? There too, the US refused to show satellite data that would have answered who did it!
