Some 50 years ago the New York Times heroically published “The Pentagon Papers,” including various classified documents showing the US Defense Department was lying about casualties in the Vietnam War.
The US military was actually suffering greater casualties–and achieving less success–than the Pentagon had been saying.
FAST FORWARD to 2024. Today’s New York Times is a reverse image of its former self. Today’s New York Times has been WORKING WITH the Pentagon to republish the government’s narratives regarding conflicts in Ukraine and Israel.
And now there is evidence that the New York Times has been working as a secret government spy agency, helping the government track down and identify leakers of government information.
The Times had worked “feverishly” to assist the Pentagon in identifying Teixeira.
“In an odd twist,” according to American Institute for Economic Research, “the Times had gone from publishing state secrets to helping the government conceal them.”
WHAT CLASSIFIED INFORMATION WAS SO IMPORTANT: THAT UKRAINE IS SUFFERING MASSIVE CASUALTIES COMPARED TO RUSSIA.
The documents “suggest that the Ukrainian forces are in more dire straits than their government has acknowledged publicly,” the New York Times admits. The Associated Press, meanwhile, noted that “at least one of the documents shows estimates of Russian troops deaths in the Ukraine war that are significantly lower than numbers publicly stated by US officials. Under a section titled ‘Total Assessed Losses,’ one document lists 16,000-17,500 Russian casualties and up to 71,000 Ukrainian casualties.”
This is a very different picture than what Americans have been told by military officials. For example, Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, publicly stated Russia had suffered “significantly well over” 100,000 casualties in Ukraine.
