Though rare, truth-tellers still exist.
One such truth-teller, Ultimate Fighting Championship competitor Bryce Mitchell, is being praised by non-establishment voices on the left and right for stating the brutally honest truth about everything from Hunter Biden to the crisis in Ukraine.
During a presser held before this weekend’s UFC 272 fighting competition, Mitchell was specifically asked for his comments on “the whole Russia and Ukraine situation.”
He initially responded by stating, in an “America First” fashion, that as far as wars are concerned, he’s only interested in getting involved in ones that occur here.
“I’m not going nowhere to fight none of these wars for these politicians. I’m staying at home, and when the war comes to Arkansas, I will dig my boots in the ground, and I will die for everything I love, and I will not retreat,” he said.
“If this country is invaded, and everybody’s saying ‘well, we gotta we gotta evacuate, we gotta leave,’ I will not. I will dig my boots in the Arkansas soil, and I will fight for the people that I love, for the land that I love and the way of life that I love.”
Agree or not with his view, that 2-minute clip above is wiser, more thoughtful, more independent-minded, more earnest and evinces more critical thought than 90% of the content about this war that flows forth from media corporations and professional pundits.

Mitchell then turned to the known “corruption” present in Ukraine and, more notably, the ties between said corruption and President Joe Biden and his crack-smoking son.
“I’m not going overseas to fight. I don’t know what’s going on, to be honest, brother. I really don’t. There’s so much stuff, and I don’t think nobody knows what’s going on fully. There’s been so much political corruption in that area. You got Biden and his son making a shit-ton of money off of, uh, and using our tax dollars to bribe their people,” he said.
“That’s treasonous in my opinion. So you got Biden and his son using our tax dollars: Hey, Ukrainian government, if you don’t do this, we’re taking your tax dollars. He shouldn’t be giving our tax dollars to that country anyways. We got veterans out here sleeping on the street, and you’re going to give our freaking tax dollars to these Ukrainians and all?”
He referenced the notorious moment in 2016 when then-Vice President Biden threatened to withhold $1 million in aid to Ukraine unless the nation’s top officials fired a prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who at the time just happened to be investigating the shady Ukrainian firm where Hunter was paid upwards to $83,000 a month to sit on its board.
After Shokin’s ouster, he later filed a complaint with Ukraine’s National Bureau of Investigation demanding a probe into Biden.

“During the period 2014-2016, the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine was conducting a preliminary investigation into a series of serious crimes committed by the former Minister of Ecology of Ukraine Mykola Zlotchevsky and by the managers of the company ‘Burisma Holding Limited’ (Cyprus), the board of directors of which included, among others, Hunter Biden, son of Joseph Biden, then vice-president of the United States of America,” the complaint reportedly read.
“Owing to my firm position on the above-mentioned cases regarding their prompt and objective investigation, which should have resulted in the arrest and the indictment of the guilty parties, Joseph Biden developed a firmly hostile attitude towards me which led him to express in private conversations with senior Ukrainian officials, as well as in his public speeches, a categorical request for my immediate dismissal from the post of Attorney General of Ukraine in exchange for the sum of US $ 1 billion in as a financial guarantee from the United States for the benefit of Ukraine.”
Biden has himself fessed up to some of this:

Mitchell concluded his remarks by stressing again that Ukraine is outside his scope of knowledge but also wishing well to those fighting.
“I don’t know what’s going on over there, but I’m not going over there and fighting, and God bless anybody that’s over there fighting, and I hope that this shit just gets solved. And man, I don’t like war, you know what I mean?” he said.
“I don’t want people dying and all that stuff. But I don’t know what’s going on. There’s so much stuff that I think that’s corrupted that we just don’t know what’s truly going on over there. And I just I pray all those people are safe.”
Mitchell is receiving widespread praise for seeing the world as it really is instead of how the propagandists in the establishment press want him and others to see it.
It’s often amazing what you hear when you listen to people who don’t pay constant attention to politics for a living and therefore don’t have their basic values corrupted and perceptions warped by constant propaganda: https://t.co/8dRjnYSo1K

His remarks come amid an uptick in propaganda from Ukraine. It also comes amid establishment outlets brazenly excusing the propaganda because it’s coming from the side with which they align:
When you understand that the media sees some lies as good and noble and others as bad and threatening, the entire “fact checking” complex starts to make more sense. https://t.co/fR3yqD9CFk

Just a stunning article from NYT. For 5 years, US corporate outlets have depicted disinformation as the gravest of threats, requiring censorship.
Yet here they use a playful, borderline-admiring tone for the charming lies spread by Ukrainian officials:https://t.co/hkePIq58D6
