SoTT briefly features on RT news video

[beetlemaniac]

As the topic says, we were shown a glimpse of the SoTT page regarding the news article on Anti-Russian propaganda in Netherlands textbooks. Comment by Meechel17 was highlighted on pulling kids out of school:

Cool! Thanks for posting.
However I think Meechal17 could have been a bit more succinct and poignant.

Yeah, I didn't think it was bad. But it might be worth considering what we're going to say on future SOTT articles (particularly on Russia) if this can happen. I dunno, they picked this particular article from SOTT to use rather than the MANY of brilliant detailed ones that cut through the b.s. in support of Putin's Russia? Maybe a show researcher stumbled onto SOTT or something!

Cool stuff!

they also ran an article on their website, both in english and spanish!! :D:D

You're right, Heimdallr, I didn't expect that. It was an off the cuff comment which is a reflection of how I feel about our education system where I live, and how much propaganda is involved in it. It's a good reminder that you never know who might see what you say. That being said, I don't think it was inappropriate in any way. It was just the simple truth as I saw it.

After watching the video I don't think Meechel17 has anything to be worried about. Great post and true. Sure Meechel17 didn't expect to show up on the news but SOTT probably didn't either. Well done all. Great article, good comment. Keep it up all involved. :D

That's wonderful! :)

If would cost a fortune to get get that kind of exposure through t.v. advertising/placement.

Has me wondering also if it's a bit of a 'tip of the hat' from RT (and maybe Russia itself, in a way) towards sott...

Some more here

Last night I had a very strange dream about Putin.

I dreamed I was in his office. It looked like those pictures of Kremlin's interior that can be seen on TV. The strangest thing in the dream was that I didn't saw him, it was more like I was watching from his point of view, through his eyes. It seemed I was sitting at his desk, but I knew it was Putin, not me. Very strange. At one point a guy walked into the office and put some papers on the table and said: "Internet Report". Then I saw only hands in front of me holding those papers, and on the third page I saw that says Laura Knight Jadczyk. I was pleasantly surprised. Then I woke up. I don't remember the text itself and what it said about Laura.

That's interesting timing Argo, cause a Sott exclusive article has been picked up by Russian media and seems to be going viral. See:

And now it's on Anissa Naouai's 'In The Now' RT TV show (no mention of Sott or the article though):

And best of all, Sott.net made a cameo today on the evening news:

It's just a brief screenshot of our article, at 1'15. That is from their main news program broadcast on RT International, which, they claim, has "a global reach of over 700 million people in 100+ countries."

I thought it was a very appropriate comment, Meechel17 and I think there are (many?) parents and kids who will probably agree with you. I know I do. :D
As far as I know Dutch/western schools are horrendous, but most parents will never consider opting out, taking their kids out of school. So, I think it needs to be said and you said it. And I think it is great that RT used your comment. It is new and fairly refreshing to them, I would think.

Here is the relevant part on the RT article

_http://rt.com/news/269314-anti-russian-propaganda-netherlands/

A Sott.net article written by Amari Roos claims that regarding Russia ‘devouring’ Ukraine, “the truth is opposite to what Dutch children are being taught.”

While Russia sends tens of thousands of tons of humanitarian aid to the war-torn Donbass region of Ukraine, Europe sells Kiev authorities military supplies and arms – obviously to “prolong the 'devouring’ of Ukraine.”

“If I was a parent, I'd take a critical look at my children's study material and inform them of what truly goes on on this planet. The school system doesn't allow students to think critically, and rather spoon-feeds 'information' that is not backed up with facts,” concludes Roos.

Roos also remembers historic dialogue between the Dutch Prime Minister Rutte and President Vladimir Putin regarding liberties in Russia.

“Indeed, just imagine an organization appearing in Russia that supports pedophilia?! If that'd be the case, I think that in certain areas of the Russian Federation, people would get some guns...,” Putin said.

Congratulations to SOTT and Amari Roos!

Let's remember though, the PTB won't like SOTT getting mass attention. Keep aware of possible attack and their 'damage control' tactics.
