HeyJaredTarik Cyril Amar's Substack and Podcast - The Ninth Wave
This is where I write about everything that interests me and may interest others. Usually, but not always, that ends up being things linked to politics, geopolitics, narratives we are supposed to believe, and, generally, power and its mostly vile ways.

Britain’s Great National Freak-Out Propaganda War Self-Blitz (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Great Britain is going through a war scare. Or to be precise, its combined political and media establishment is subjecting its people to a relentless propaganda (in up-to-date NATO-speak “cognitive warfare”) campaign to create a sense of impending war against Russia.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Lmjf!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0524b907-23c6-4756-8833-c

Read excerpt
Occasionally, history does dish out poetic justice. It can also be exceedingly funny, if in a merciless way.

Read excerpt
Berlin has officially blamed a murky drone incident at the Leipzig-Halle airport on Moscow.

The New German Militarism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is the summer of 1943. After catastrophic defeat in the Battle of Stalingrad, Nazi Germany’s legions are retreating before the Red Army. That’s the backdrop to the German – and Amazon–produced–movie “Der Tiger” (English title: “The Tank”). Officially billed as an antiwar movie, “The Tank” is anything but. Yet the fact that it is really about five tough men on a lonely commando mission is trivial.<a class="image-link image
