Chay Bowes is an Irish entrepreneur and an independent journalist, and has an MA in Strategy & GeoPolitics.

I spoke to him in 2022, after he wrote an article on the Absolute Truth called War Propaganda About Ukraine Starting to Wear Thin and before he wrote An Inevitable War.. His article about the Absolute Truth was recommended and retweeted by none other than John Pilger.

"Propaganda at Its Most Innocent" | Dialogues S3 Business Games

March 27, 2023 18:00 - 3 hours - 257 MB

Why propaganda? How propaganda? and What can you do? One of the most important dialogues I've ever had a chance to be a part of. Oliver goes into detail about provable propaganda in Hollywood and the (predominantly) US media, with examples from US lead-up to conflicts in Iraq (twice), Syria and Ukraine coverage, as well as Russiagate. We also touch on modern leadership and Russophobia. Iraq, in particular, is a fantastic example of learning how the propaganda game is played, because the t...

Goebbels, Brand Management, and Genocidal Myth Making | Learner's Digest S3.4

February 01, 2023 06:00 - 1 hour - 106 MB

In the modern discourse it seems, any political opponent is immediately a "Nazi", and any historical grievance is a "genocide". The problem is obvious and three-fold: Politically, the elites in a less wealthy and/or numerous nation want to use the victimhood status to gain potential reparations from the wealthier/more numerous nation, by any means possible—all's fair in love and war; The impacts on the (wrongfully) accused are also clear: accusing various historical governments of (allege...

2014 Maidan, 2022 Mariupol and Bucha. One is a proven false-flag massacre perpetrated by the Ukrainian far-right. The others fit similar patterns.

A word of caution: if you have an emotional response to the 2022-ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and especially if you believe the mainstream media narrative in the West and you are not ready to have this challenged, this might not be for you. I'm happy to discuss the facts and my thinking, but I'd like to refrain from ad hominem attacks. Finally, I have an agenda: I'm trying to challenge your thinking in order to strengthen it. To do so, I'll present to you my way of analysis, the signals I...
