CIA Lying to Incite Neocon Planned War with Russia?

On his website, LewRockwell.com, Llewellyn H. Rockwell explains that, by regularly pushing incorrect information (a.k.a. lies), the CIA is propagandizing Americans “in favor of the Biden Administration’s narrative,” which is, in his words, created by “neocon warmongers,” who “want to destroy Russia, and they are willing to risk nuclear war to do it.” He writes (abridged):

All rational Americans agree that we shouldn’t get involved in the Russia-Ukraine War.

The neocon warmongers with brain dead Biden as their figurehead want to destroy Russia, and they are willing to risk nuclear war to do it.

But this doesn’t negate what I’ve just said. These monsters are anything but rational. But speaking of monsters leads to another question. Everybody knows John Quincy Adams’s line: “America goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy.” Is this the reason we should stay out of the Ukraine war? Is Putin a monster, bringing death and destruction to innocent people, but someone whose actions we have to ignore because it’s too dangerous to act against him? People who say this don’t get what’s happening.

Putin is a rational statesman, with legitimate security interests and the supposed hero Zelensky is a dubious character.

Readers will recall the shocking headlines that Russia was prepared to use chemical weapons in Ukraine, that China would be providing military equipment to Russia, that Russian President Putin was being fed misinformation by his advisors, and more.

All of these were churned out by the CIA to be repeated in the American media even though they were known to be false. It was all about, as one intelligence officer said in the article, ‘trying to get inside Putin’s head.’

That may have been the goal, but what the CIA actually did was get inside America’s head with false information meant to shape public perception of the conflict. They lied to propagandize us in favor of the Biden Administration’s narrative.
