Jake Sullivan, Hillary strategy advisor had a KEY role in launching Russia-gate hoax – he is now national security advisor to Biden.
Same people that launched the Russia-gate hoax are now hollering that Russia invasion of Ukraine is "imminent". All to "save democracy" there -- in order to distract from the fact that St. Obama organized in 2014 bloody coup against democratically elected Ukraine government.
St. Obama installed Biden and his CIA pal Brennan as de facto governors of Ukraine -- immensely enriching US "elite" and posting and removing government members, judges and heads of industry with billions of corrupting cash -- in "fight against corruption".
US War party’s key exports are – coups, wars and all-encompassing corruption.
Best of luck to your continuing efforts as independent journalists in the best tradition of I.F.Stone’s Weekly newsletter. The last few weeks of hysterical MSM Ukraine-related propaganda have destroyed any remaining credibility they may have had. Your work is desperately needed.
Oh, how I miss Stephen Cohen! His knowledge and reasoned analyses seemed to keep Russiagate and the unending Ukraine crisis from tipping over into the complete hysteria we are experiencing today. I am increasing my subscription level in his memory and hope that my fellow subscribers will do the same. Patrick, would it not help to add $10 and $20 per month levels to help you reach your goals? And thank you, THANK YOU for “The Scrum!”
For those wondering why the war hysteria has been turned up to eleven lately, keep in mind Biden has his first real State of the Union speech, March 1st. Look for the declarations of victory to start several days prior.
The irony is that Ukraine could get its best possible deal with Russia right now. What would Putin give, to have Zelensky sitting across a medium sized table, discussing the security and economics agreements they just signed.
Recall the debate between Noam Chomsky and Andrew Marr:
Over the course of 30 minutes discussing the politics of the media on BBC2’s The Big Idea, the seemingly unprepared Marr, who would become the editor of the Independent in 1996, is repeatedly corrected and out-argued by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor.
Chomsky begins by summarising the propaganda model he developed in the late 1980s with Edward Herman, which they argue shows the media “serve to mobilise support for the special interests that dominate the state and private activity.”
Discombobulated, Marr says: “I was brought up like a lot of people, probably post-Watergate film and so on, to believe that journalism was a crusading craft and there were a lot of disputatious, stroppy, difficult people in journalism.”
Chomsky doesn’t dispute there are people like this in the media but argues the propaganda model can be applied to US media coverage of the Vietnam war and Watergate.
For Chomsky, one of the roles “of the liberal intellectual Establishment,” within which the New York Times, BBC and Guardian operate, “is to set very sharp bounds on how far you can go. This far and no further.”
“How can you know that I’m self-censoring?” Marr asks.
To which Chomsky replies: “I’m not saying you’re self-censoring. I’m sure you believe everything you’re saying. But what I’m saying is that if you believe something different, you wouldn’t be sitting where you’re sitting.”
Outrage to Old Stream Media "OSM" reveals a naivete. OSM has long abandoned any pretense of being anything other than what they are, "PR firms for a powerful sector of the ruling class.” It still serves a function for their silo but that is a diminished ageing model. CNN is learning that.
I am not sure why anyone would be blown away by OSM coverage to the Durham Report.

Samizdat.
When the old tree is half dead and mostly a haven for termites, the end is inevitable.

Not lying dog faced pony soldiers, Patrick. From your part of the world - Running Dog lackeys of the capitalist, imperialist warmongers.
Bravo!
Your news is always insightful. Charlie LeDuff is a news reporter that is also independent at No BS News Hour. He is interesting to listen to.

Any serious political campaign "spies" on their opponents campaign.
