Great article and also a fine interview with my friend Eva Bartlett. I guess you aren't bucking for a senate seat like Mike Duffy, or a PC cabinet post like Peter Kent or even a piddly Order of Canada like Lisa Laflamme got :)
Thanks Trish. I always enjoyed The Fifth Estate back in the day when Lyndon McIntyre was there.
I read the daily blog from Armstrong Economics. He has an interesting history. ( avoid looking him up on Wikipedia as they have done the usual hatchet job on non MSM people ) .
Thrilled to see your article posted by Vanessa Beeley on Telegram. The reason we do not read writing like this on MSM is because MSM is the primary propaganda arm of the corporate globalist technocracy driving the globalist agenda (s). I encountered this remarkable insight from Mark Crispin Miller who was interviewed in the New Fauci movie based on RFK Jr's book:
"Propaganda always entails censorship. It must because propaganda does not seek to persuade. It seeks to push you, to cajole you into a particular point of view ... It doesn't try to make arguments, it doesn't try to make a reasonable case, it doesn't use reason at all ... It tends to be an almost neurological manipulation. Now, because propaganda doesn't tolerate argument it always entails extremely rigorous censorship of the counter-narrative. It must be vilified ... condemned ... blacked out."
For anyone still thinking this is a game or a joke, I can only recommend viewing these two grotesquely memorable pieces put out by the BBC (pre-TNI) on the consequences at hand. (Both predate "The Day After".)
I remember taking part in peace marches, attending a Reversing the Arms Race conference at the Riverside Church in NYC in 1979, and hearing Helen Caldicott for the first time. People like Stephen Cohen are gone. Too many people I know who used to walk in peace marches are accepting the white hat/black hat frame of the Ukraine-Russia War. No awareness of the history, or of RAND Corporation paper in 2019 urging US-NATO to weaken, destabilize and Balkanize Russia. The mono-message of the media continues apace on this topic, as it does COVID and other uni-messaging in our post-debate society.
It wasn't until I listened to your first interview with Colonel MacGregor that I began to understand just how one sided the medis reports on the Russian/Ukraine war was. Then there were a number of commentries and interviews I had seen from Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard about the nuclear danger and that brokering for peace by taking the Ukraine joining NATO gambit off the table. After which the idiot women on the view said they should be charged with treason for heaven's sake. Then your second interview, particularly with Eva, put into perspective that Ukraine is the victim just trying to stay a free country. I, like you, grew up and came of age during the Cold War. The fact that mankind was capable of destroying the entire planet with a nuclear bomb, was a fact that always haunted me, particurlarly as a teenager. After the Soviet Union fell, many, like me, put the nuclear threat behind me. Young people today have so much to make them feel hopeless, a reckless response to COVID that stold two and half years of their lives, the crazy climate alarmism by the crazy leftists that is nothing more than a wealth redistribution scheme, and dealing with the extreme elements of the transgender movement and now the world teetering on the edge of a nuclear war. I have a 26 year old daughter who is already mentally fragile, like so many youth today, I weep for them all.
Roxanne: I would strongly recommend that you (everyone else here as well) read and listen to Scott Horton. Trish has had him on her podcast. He's had several interviews with MacGregor.
It's unlikely the Russian invasion of Ukraine will lead to an armed WW3. We already entered WW3 several decades ago through the digitization of our culture. That escalated with the collapse of the 3 towers in NYC and of late this scamdemic. Armed war is the only remaining industry of The Empire, with Canada being dragged along as a willing accomplice. Remember when we were The Empire's largest trading partner!? Our human swivelization is being destroyed from within, as all former civilizations have done to themselves. Regardless, the ensuing climate casino chaos will dwarf anything that stew-pit homo sapiens devise, with our galactic intelligences looking on with baited amusement, offering no interference as was the official regulation in Star Trek.
My only query with all of this, is why are people so damn dumb that they cannot see any of this?
It is largely the failure of education and the media. Education is government indoctrination absent of seriously covered subjects like history, economics, literature, philosophy etc. The media is owned by a handful of corporations with their own agendas which often parallel those of governments whose members may very well be serving those same corporations.
All true Jim, 'cept your blame on schoollin' and media gives the system, i.e., corporate end-game capitalism, or as CJ Hopkins calls 'em: Globocap, a free ride. Most will not see it is our toxic economic system, which, has 'pivoted humanity, indeed all of life towards this end-game' as Roger Hallam, formerly of XR has quipped in his YT address from a year or so ago. It's all too diabolical. How could they? Don't they have a conscience? NO! That's why the elites are often referred to as sociopaths.
Two years ago, Robert Malone, interviewed at his horse farm in VA summed it up by offering: "There's something very dark and sinister afoot here". I paraphrase. As Chris Hedges has reported numerous times, "the corporations have won". In Sheldon Wolin's thought, we live in an Inverted Totalitarianism; without a "functioning democracy"...Hedges recently. Biden could have long ago initiated high level talks with Putin to end the Ukraine debacle. AmeriKa's war industry along with Wall St. will not permit this. Joe-boy's not his own man, neither was Trump let alone Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc., etc., ad infinitum ad nauseum.
Here in OZ we have a Foreign Affairs Minister who truculantly walked out of a meeting with Lavrov. It has become a game of who can say "illegal and immoral invasion" the loudest. God save us.
“Anti-nukes used to be a plank of the left but no more — not as long as Biden panders to the progressive wing of his party.” So true. And just as shocking as the COVID response.

the great Kenneth Galbraith. we read parts of his 'Affluent Society' in university. lucky you to actually have met him :-))
Seems the deaf dumb and blind left are simply aching for all out nuclear war…

war (like debt) is profitable to the highest-ups.
The idiots have forgotten about the 'dead man switch'. It is irrelevant who initiates a 'first strike' because there WILL BE an opposing next strike.
So many people never saw War Games and it shows. "The only winning move is not to play."

I did listen to her podcast with Horton. Thanks.
Watch The Duran who also interview a wide range of people and perspectives, including Colonel MacGregor:

Thank youk, will do.
