Pro-Kremlin video portrays Ukraine invading Russia
Russia has once again taken the #1 ranking in the international agitation and propaganda tournament. After years of mediocre performance in the field, Russia has regained the glory of the Soviet years. The temporary fall of the Soviet Union was a serious blow to the Russian agitprop program. The inventor of the modern form of agitprop was hit hard by democratic reforms in the Yeltsin era. Tass, Pravda and Izvestia, once world leaders in the field, lost focus; distracted by their new-found freedoms.
With the fall of the Russian agitprop dynasty, the playing field was leveled. New faces seemed to come to the fore every year. Baghdad Bob and his team of young Iraqi talent and CNN veterans made good showings in the 1990 and '91 tourneys. And who can forget their Cinderella win in the 2003 season? So many highlights from that year.
"They're not even [within] 100 miles [of Baghdad]. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion ... they are trying to sell to the others an illusion."This is the stuff of which champions are made.
"God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Iraqis."
With no historically strong programs competing in the late 90's, every year seemed to produce a new contender. The Hamas-Pallywood team performed well; especially among Western audiences. Hugo Chavez had his moments of fame as did the Kim Dynasty in the DPRK.
Coming into the new century brought new players into the spotlight. Capitalizing on the momentum of the Democratic National Committee's 2000 vote fraud triumph, Al Gore went on to his own victory with his global warming squad. A well-balanced team of climate hucksters, Hollywood liberals and the Nobel Prize committee brought Algore the accomplishment that no amount of dimpled chads ever could. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his swarthy band of Photoshopping imams were surprise winners following Algore.
Then, out of the chaos, came a new agitprop powerhouse; the American Mainstream Media. The MSM established itself with brash campaigns such as "No Blood For Oil", "Bush Lied, People Died" and Bush Caused Global Warming to Kill All the Blacks In New Orleans." The American MSM quickly racked up nine straight wins. Talk around the water cooler was that the American Mainstream Media was the next great agitprop dynasty. While they looked strong, Russia was quietly developing plans to knock them off.
Under GM/CEO/Godfather/President-For-Life Vladimir Putin and Coach Viktor Bolshytskaya, the Russian team has been training hard. They knew it wouldn't be easy, but they saw that victory was in their grasp. In a recent interview, Bolshytskaya discussed how Russia returned to power.
"Amerikansky Mainstream Media was once strong, but now allied with weak, lame duck leader. This where Russia win. Russian leader strong-like bear. Fight tiger and kill moose-bare hands only. President for life with bare chest virility and loins filled machismo. Not crippled duck in mom jeans."Bolshytskaya added this about Russia's stunning return to the top of the rankings
"Winning no problem. Like stealing vodka from slow children. Mom Jeans say red line. Putin make number 2 on red line.....and on Mom Jeans shoes."Will the Russians stay on top? Is this the start of the new dynasty? Only time will tell, but with their current performance you have to think that they are back to stay.
