In everything he writes George Monbiot accepts what pro-Western sources report as gospel and on this basis alone denounces his opponents.


Abstract:

Excerpt:

In this sordid climate, sections of the educated middle class in the media, liberal politics and academia have lost their heads -- uncritically accepting the narrative that the war in Ukraine has simply happened because Putin is pursuing an expansionist policy against his east European neighbours. Such individuals conveniently forget everything they know about the decades-long US-led policy, since the end of the USSR, of NATO encroachment on former Soviet territories, as well as the endless series of bloody wars waged by Washington and its allies -- for which it is hoped they will one day be deeply ashamed.
Monbiot is a yet more politically despicable individual. Someone who advances himself as an investigative journalist, he has a very long record of uncritically regurgitating the propaganda of the imperialist powers and denouncing anyone who doesn't do the same. He now offers his services as a witchfinder for British imperialism in identifying its critics and declaring them to be political stooges of Putin.
