Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

Producteur Igor Lopatenok : Pour s’assurer que ce type [Zelensky] ne joue pas des tours avec ses oreilles et fasse soudainement la paix avec Vladimir Poutine, ses enfants et sa femme ont été pris en otage en Grande-Bretagne. C’est une autre couche de sécurité pour ces marionnettistes.

Producer Igor Lopatenok: To make sure this guy [Zelensky] doesn't play tricks with his ears and suddenly make peace with Vladimir Putin, his children and his wife were taken hostage in Britain. This is another layer of security for these puppeteers.

Are they serious? I would say that this plan looks a bit thin. The Russian army already has the experience of destroying 300 thousand opponents, and without the use of weapons of mass destruction.
The NATO plan in case of war with Russia became known

NATO has a plan in case of war with Russia. According to the German media, the plan for 4 thousand pages provides:

— deployment of 300 thousand military personnel in a high degree of readiness;

— the commander-in-chief of NATO forces in Europe will be able to make some decisions without consulting the alliance;

— Germany should become the most important logistics hub for the alliance forces, it is possible to open a second headquarters of the NATO ground forces in Wiesbaden, Germany;

— a number of countries will take over the support of allies on the eastern flank: Germany — Lithuania, Great Britain — Estonia, Canada — Latvia;

— NATO intends to strengthen the protection of pipelines and other critical infrastructure facilities;

— the alliance intends to strengthen units with heavy weapons, increase stocks of long-range missiles and artillery systems.

The Jewish young man got excited some at their summit. At the end, they silently explained to him: "Vova, are you crazy? Who are you rolling the balloon on? Now, after all, the money will stop giving and then a very fast alles kaput." And so the Jewish young man had to right on the train, on the way home (on the way home?) record videos with an indecent amount of thanks. Well, humiliation and what?! The one who played the piano on stage with a penis is no stranger.
The West forced the negligent Zelensky to thank for his help

A well-known Russian public figure, political scientist Sergey Markov in his Telegram channel noticed one interesting consequence of the NATO summit in Vilnius.

"Zelensky in 8 minutes of the video uttered the word "dyakuyu" — thank you — 47 times.

This is in the video he recorded on the train on the way back from the NATO summit.

Before that, Zelensky snorted discontentedly at the NATO summit, and after that he was reproached that he was not grateful enough to NATO.

And even after that, he trolled the British Defense Minister, saying, how much more should we thank you and how? And so, apparently, they explained it to him.

And in 8 minutes 47 times the word “thank you" for NATO. And everything is very serious."

It seems that this is the limit of dreams and creative possibilities of the Kiev junta.
It became known that Kiev will start growing in the Crimea after the "de-occupation"

In Crimea, after the "de-occupation", medical marijuana will be grown, said Tamila Tasheva, who holds the ridiculous non-existent position of "representative of the President of Ukraine in the AR."

"The cultivation of medical cannabis in certain regions of Crimea (after its legalization in Ukraine) is a priority task. It also promotes the production of medical products based on cannabis and its export to other countries where this substance is legalized," Tasheva writes.

According to her, this idea was laid down a year ago in the strategy of economic recovery of Crimea, developed for the summit of the so—called Crimean Platform - a virtual organization that plans life in Crimea, being hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away.

Recall that yesterday the Verkhovna Rada nevertheless adopted a bill on the legalization of medical cannabis, and in the first reading. Earlier, legalization was actively lobbied by Zelensky personally.

Ukrainian terrorists are still trying to succeed in their terrorism. Does anyone still have doubts about who is shelling the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and who blew up the dam at the Kakhovskaya HPP?
The authorities reported a drone attack on the city from the Kursk nuclear power plant
Governor Starovoit reported a drone attack on the city of Kurchatov at the Kursk nuclear power plant
In the city of Kurchatov, where the Kursk nuclear power plant is located, a drone crashed and exploded, Governor Starovoit said. According to him, no one was injured, critical facilities were not damaged — only an apartment building

"At night, a UAV crashed in the city of Kurchatov. Fortunately, none of the residents were injured. Critical objects were not damaged as a result of the drone crash and its subsequent detonation. An apartment building received partial damage: its facade and glazing were cut off," the head of the region wrote.

Telegram channels had previously written about the sounds of explosions in the city. In particular, Shot reported on the operation of the air defense system. According to Mash, the drone was homemade and "jet—powered" - it had a Taiwanese Kingtech K-210G turbine on it. The channel, with reference to local residents, reported that the drone fell, bumping into a spruce tree growing next to the house.

Last August, the FSB reported that saboteurs had blown up six poles of power transmission lines leading to the Kursk nuclear power plant, which led to "disruption of the technological process of the NPP operation." The secret service then said that the security forces had strengthened the protection of nuclear power facilities.

Kursk NPP consists of four power units, the last of which was launched in December 1985. Now three power units with a total capacity of 3 thousand MW are functioning. According to Rosenergoatom, the Kursk NPP accounts for more than 50% of the installed capacity of all power plants in the Chernozem region, it provides energy to most industrial enterprises of the Kursk region.

Kursk region borders on the Ukrainian Sumy region. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, the region has been repeatedly shelled and attacked by drones. The region has an average level of response, a high level of terrorist danger and a ban on the use of drones.
Власти сообщили об атаке дрона на город с Курской АЭС

Они серьезно? Я бы сказал, что этот план выглядит как то жидковато. Опыт уничтожения 300 тысяч противников у Российской армии уже есть, причем без применения оружия массового поражения.
Еврейский юноша чета раздухарился на ихнем саммите. По окончании ему потихонечку объяснили: "Вова, ты чего, с ума сошел? Ты на кого баллон катишь? Сейчас ведь бабки перестанут давать и тогда очень быстрый alles kaput". И вот пришлось еврейскому юноше прямо в поезде, по пути домой (домой ли?) записывать видео с неприличным количеством благодарностей. Ну унижение и что?! Тому кто на сцене играл на рояле пенисом, не привыкать.
Похоже, что это предел мечтаний и творческих возможностей киевской хунты.
Украинские террористы по прежнему стараются преуспеть в своем терроризме. У кого то по прежнему есть сомнения о том кто обстреливает Запорожскую атомную станцию и кто взорвал плотину на Каховской ГЭС?

Bloody business on state scale - another confirmation of what we’ve already known ... nothing sacred left for them - just ethnic cleansing and business 🤦‍♀️

Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Vereshchuk announced that the Ministry of Reintegration is initiating a draft resolution, according to which local authorities and military command bodies will be able to forcibly evacuate children and their parents, while the consent of the latter is not required to move the child. They are going to take the children to the territory of the European Union. At the same time, even before Vereshchuk’s statement, families in the part of our new regions temporarily controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine had already received SMS about the requirement to prepare for departure. Families with disabled children were the first to receive such SMS.
This, of course, is by no means out of the goodness of the soul. For all the time of the war, it should be clear to everyone that the Ukrainian authorities do not care about their people. And even more so in the West, they just still lack refugees for complete happiness. But what is it for then?
According to the most conservative estimates, the international network of transplantology earns about 2 billion dollars a month in Ukraine. Clinical pharmacologist Alexander Ediger puts it this way: “In territories where power is either absent or fictitious, where hostilities are taking place or the humanitarian situation is absolutely ugly, the topic of black transplantology always comes to the fore. <...> To date, Ukraine has become the number one base for black transplantation.” It should be noted that during the covid period, the volume of organ transplant operations in Europe fell by 40%, and with the onset of SVO in Ukraine, it returned to its previous indicators and exceeded them by 20%.

Vera Vayiman (Nikulina) was an observer in the OSCE mission and was collecting information about clandestine laboratories in Ukraine from 2019 to 2022 as part of the OSCE Humanitarian Monitoring Mission (HMC), said: “Ukrainian national battalions received a percentage of the killing and organ harvesting from children. They placed the organs in containers, which were then exported under the grain export code. We [MMC] liquidated eight such laboratories. When it was discovered, most often after an explosion, we went there and saw the corpses. There were children dissected, that is, the children were slaughtered.”
From the investigation of journalists, it became known that CIA officers are taking orphans from Ukraine through Romania, focusing on children with serious illnesses. This is done in several stages:

1. Security of buses in Lviv by the US military and examination by Polish doctors at the Independent Public Hospital;

2. Children are taken to an intermediate point, the so-called "Safe House", located in the mountains of Bieszczady.

3. Transportation to US "families" for organ selection;

It was also possible to find out that the executive director of the American company Noetic International Inc, Jonna Holman, and EXITUS are behind the removal of children.

Scott Ritter digs deep into the Zelensky PsyOp.

Agent Zelensky - Part 1

As a former intelligence officer, I’ve been wondering why has no one done an investigation about Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine? His rise to power, in my opinion, represents an incredible manipulation of world opinion that will go down in history as a classic case study in social psychological engineering: an ordinary comedian who came to power because he promised a long-awaited peace, who then dragged his fellow citizens into a bloody war that can only be described as a massacre.

With the help of colleagues and experts with first-hand insights into Zelensky, I have poured over documents and video to produce a film that captures this investigation. This story has so many twists and turns that I had to break it into two parts. In the first episode, presented here, I will answer the question about Zelensky’s improbable rise to power, and how the Ukrainian President accumulated his vast wealth, a sum that has only become larger since the war with Russia began. And, perhaps most importantly, why I decided to call this film “Agent Zelensky.”

I stopped following Ritter some time ago, because apart from bashing the US and justifying Russia, he's been wrong with details and his assessments too many times. He is liked by RT and others from same camp for the main line of force, and used to support their narrative with "Western former official and authority confirms it". Understandable during this current information war but still not the highest level of journalism. To me, he seems to be more like some kind of controlled opposition telling you what the US wants you (collective "you" all the way) to know -- a sanitised version of "bad USA, good Russia" view. So yes, he is useful if someone needs an argument when talking to brainwashed MSM followers, and he most likely knows a lot about the US, their ways and cliques, but that's about it.

The above 'documentary' got me curious because of the apparently wrong and sensational headline. You can call Zelensky a US asset if you want, but by no means an agent. As a "former intelligence officer", Ritter has to know the difference better than anyone. So let's see if he can actually justify his use of the word "agent" in the 2nd part as promised.

At the very beginning he claims that "many publications" on Zelensky disappeared from the web. Those titles he presents are still there though. But right there, he's set your mind on a very specific trail. I'm not going to check all claims Ritter makes in his video, which by the way is not bad for the aimed audience, but here is what struck me while watching and what I still remember:

- The fact that Ukraine is one of the most corrupt states has been known since its creation, more or less. As is the fact that Zelensky has been made President by the US with some oligarchs' help. The same with the fact that the collective West's media often change their narratives along with the current wind direction. Nothing new here.

- Ritter's focus on Z's alleged wealth is disappointing. Doesn't look to me like he did much of his own investigation, he shows no hard proof for anything, he just picked up stuff from other websites (questionable ones including, like the notorious OCCRP). And there are much less extreme assessments by Russian and Ukrainian opposition experts/commentators). If anything, Zelensky was likely just a face for those properties' ownership IMO.

- Not an important detail but caught my attention. When talking about Z's fraud/allocation of funds, Ritter slipped in his comment: "when thousands of Ukrainians were dying from Covid". Okey...

- The so called "Wagnergate" (33 Wagnerites arrested in Belarus) is still not clearly settled. There is Lukashenko's version, official Russian version, Wagner version and many other made by various serious political commentators. But out of all available options, Ritter - with no remark or hesitation - picks the Bellingcat and Insider's one. Quite telling if you ask me. But like in many other moments, we are suppose to go with his "believe me, I am a former intelligence officer" spell.

- Z's visit to Vatican (last 2 mins): Ritter makes it sound like an inside knowledge that after seeing the Pope, Zelensky met Paul Gallagher and they talked for almost an hour and a half. That's not correct, AFAIK. According to Corriere della Calabria live report, Zelensky arrived at the Vatican Palace at 16:10, was leaving the Vatican at 17:16, and at 16:30 he was still talking with Bergoglio. Then was the meeting with the Pope which (including gifts exchange and photo session, and for the sake of it, let's count in also the talk with Bergoglio) lasted 40 mins. So it leaves barely some 15-20 minutes at most for Z's talk with Gallagher. Also, the conversation with Pietro Parolin and Paul Gallagher that took place in a "different room" is a usual thing for this kind of visits, and took place also in 2020 during Zelensky's first visit. It was also officially announced. To make it look even more spooky, Ritter claims that Richard Moore of MI6 was present in the other room, too, while he focuses the camera on two men. The one in khaki shirt is Andrei Yermak (I presume there is no need to introduce him here, but just in case: the actual first person in the country); not sure about the guy in black, closer to the camera, but it's not Moore for certain. The third man sitting on the Ukrainian side but farther, is most likely Dmitro Kuleba, Ukrainian foreign mister. As you can see on this picture (same on this Rome Reports video towards the end), not only Moore is not there, but the setting itself would not allow any secret conversations. Completely unnecessary twist and suggesting that Ritter is trying to sell more than he has in stock. But how many viewers will swallow the tasty lie without doubting it even for a second?

What is also interesting and should be noticed/questioned, is the timing. The video comes at the time when the so called collective West just started to back off their so far unlimited support for Zelensky. So, given that nothing in his video is new, my question is: Why now? I for one, don't exclude the possibility that it's Ritter who is a soft PsyOp.

I'm not suggesting we should stop listen to Ritter or share his videos. His "Agent Z" just happened to inspire me to bring back our good old "this is a research forum" mantra and encourage everyone to put more research and thoughts into your forum posts, add more comments if you can, so that together we can separate the wheat from the chaff, get closer to the objective truth, and learn in the process.

Interview de Maria Zakharova avec le magazine International Affairs sur les résultats du sommet de l’OTAN à Vilnius les 11 et 12 juillet :Question :

Les résultats du sommet de l’OTAN ont une fois de plus démontré que l’alliance, dans laquelle les Anglo-Saxons jouent le principal violon, prend des décisions visant, en fait, à parrainer le terrorisme dans la région. On a l’impression que la fourniture d’armes prohibées par les pays membres de l’alliance au régime de Kiev vise à préparer une guerre avec la Russie. Êtes-vous d’accord avec ces déclarations?

Zakharova : En fait , l’OTAN mène déjà une guerre hybride avec la Russie , dont l’instrument est le régime de Kiev. Il est gonflé d’armes, de matériel militaire. Les pays de l’alliance participent activement à la formation des militants des Forces armées ukrainiennes selon leurs propres normes, ils prévoient de former puis de transférer des Ukrainiens vers des combattants occidentaux.

Tout cela est complété par un chantage économique et des sanctions illégales contre la Russie et d’autres pays qui n’ont pas cédé sous les Anglo-Saxons.

Ce n’est un secret pour personne que les États du bloc de l’Atlantique Nord partagent des données de renseignement avec les forces armées ukrainiennes et participent à la planification des opérations militaires.

Dans le même temps , l’OTAN se tient officiellement à l’écart . Déclare qu’il n’est pas partie au conflit et ne cherche pas la confrontation avec la Russie.

En fait, c’est une guerre sous fausse bannière .

<... >

Question : À la veille du sommet de l’OTAN, le président français Emmanuel Macron a annoncé de nouvelles fournitures militaires à l’Ukraine, y compris. missiles de croisière « SCALP ». Comment pourriez-vous commenter cela?

Zakharova : Après avoir fourni les canons automoteurs Caesar, le système de défense aérienne Crotal et les chars AMX-10RC, les dirigeants français ont pris une autre décision irresponsable de fournir au régime de Kiev des missiles à longue portée SCALP. Ainsi, Paris a délibérément et consciemment fait un pas de plus vers l’escalade du conflit ukrainien.

<... >

Question : Que diriez-vous du comportement agressif de l’alliance envers la Chine ?

Zakharova: <... > Déjà, les pays de l’OTAN font des efforts pour créer dans la région Asie-Pacifique avec leurs personnes partageant les mêmes idées le soi-disant. coalitions de « petite géométrie ». Par exemple, AUKUS et QUAD. Ils veulent implanter leurs fiefs dans la région pour ensuite imposer leurs propres règles à travers eux. Un autre foyer potentiel de tension est artificiellement créé , et sa tâche principale est d’éliminer la Chine, ainsi que la Russie, en tant que principaux concurrents géopolitiques.

Interview of Maria Zakharova with International Affairs magazine on the results of the NATO summit in Vilnius on July 11-12:

Question: The results of the NATO summit have once again demonstrated that the alliance, in which the Anglo-Saxons play the main violin, makes decisions aimed, in fact, at sponsoring terrorism in the region. One has the impression that the supply of prohibited weapons by the member countries of the alliance to the kyiv regime is aimed at preparing a war with Russia. Do you agree with these statements?

📢 Zakharova: In fact, NATO is already waging a hybrid war with Russia, whose instrument is the kyiv regime. It is swollen with weapons, military equipment. The countries of the alliance are actively involved in the training of militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces according to their own standards, they plan to train and then transfer Ukrainians to Western fighters.

All of this is complemented by economic blackmail and illegal sanctions against Russia and other countries that did not give in under the Anglo-Saxons.

It is no secret that the states of the North Atlantic bloc share intelligence data with the Ukrainian armed forces and participate in the planning of military operations.

At the same time, NATO is officially on the sidelines. Declares that he is not a party to the conflict and does not seek confrontation with Russia.

In fact, it is a false flag war.

<…>

Question: On the eve of the NATO summit, French President Emmanuel Macron announced new military supplies to Ukraine, including. SCALP cruise missiles. How could you comment on that?

📢 Zakharova: After supplying the Caesar self-propelled guns, the Crotal air defense system and the AMX-10RC tanks, the French leadership made another irresponsible decision to supply the Kiev regime with long-range SCALP missiles. Thus, Paris has deliberately and consciously taken a further step towards the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict.

<…>

Question: How about the alliance's aggressive behavior towards China?

📢 Zakharova: <…> Already, NATO countries are making efforts to create in the Asia-Pacific region with their like-minded people the so-called. "small geometry" coalitions. For example, AUKUS and QUAD. They want to establish their strongholds in the region and then impose their own rules through them. Another potential hotbed of tension is artificially created, and its main task is to eliminate China, as well as Russia, as the main geopolitical competitors.
 
"Western governments are sponsoring nuclear terrorism carried out by Kiev", the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

UK depot supplying missiles to Ukraine goes on strike – media​


Key defense employees earn less than supermarket workers, the Daily Mirror reports
UK depot supplying missiles to Ukraine goes on strike – media

British deliveries of cutting-edge missiles to Ukraine could be in jeopardy due to a strike at a key military facility where workers earn around minimum wage, the Daily Mirror reported on Friday, citing sources.
The strike was reportedly backed by 50 key employees at the Defence Equipment and Support depot in Beith, Scotland. The facility supplies Storm Shadow and Brimstone missiles – which Moscow says have been used to strike civilian targets – to Ukraine.
As a result, British defense officials are said to be scrambling to take “contingency measures” to keep the weapons flowing.
The dispute between the UK Defence Ministry and the workers revolves around the pay gap between those who assemble the weapons and those who move them. The first category is paid £16.82 ($22) an hour, along with bonuses and allowances, which totals £38,000 ($50,000) a year.
However, the second category – non-craft workers – earn just £10.42 an hour and receive no bonuses, putting their annual salary at just £20,500. The living wage in the UK is £10.90 an hour.

“Basically the non-Craft workers could earn more at Lidl, at around £11 an hour,” a source told the Daily Mirror, adding that the current arrangement means that people driving explosives are paid less than those moving groceries around a supermarket.
The source noted that if the strike continues for long, it “could eventually have implications for missiles going to Ukraine or Faslane,” a UK military base hosting nuclear submarines.
The strike, the first since the depot’s creation in 1943, was supported by 93% of GMB union members. Strike organizer Chris Kennedy called on Defence Secretary Ben Wallace to intervene, warning that otherwise, “supplies of the crucial missiles manufactured at Beith will soon run low.”
A Defence Ministry spokesperson said, however, that the development will not affect deliveries
. [ When there's a will, there's a way :cry: ]

The UK announced plans to send 600 Brimstone missiles to Ukraine in January, with Russian officials claiming that Kiev has used them to target civilian facilities. The same could be said of Storm Shadow missiles with a range of 250km, which were fired at two civilian plants in the Russian city of Lugansk in May, injuring several people, including six children, according to Moscow.
 
FWIW, an article about the arrest of Metropolitan Pavel, who is the Abbot of the Kiev-Pechersky Monastery. - Metropolitan Pavel Arrested

The Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) is the newer church that was created by America for the Ukrainians, as a further means for dividing the Ukrainian people from Moscow. Also known as “Schismatics”, these priests are subject only to the Patriarch of Constantinople, to Zelensky, and to NATO and the EU.

The Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) is the older, traditional, “canonical” Orthodox Church which comes under the Moscow Patriarch. Also known as “dirty Russians”, their priests are subject to repression and arrest, as we shall see.

Here is a quick memory aid, which I created for myself: OCU = “Oh, cute!” as in, “I see what you just did there, NATO!” UOC = “You okay!” as in, I regard you as the good guys, even though I am not religious.
 
Masha, the granddaughter of the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov, is making a career as a singer, and she paid over a million hryvnias (>$27,000) to advertise her video on the screen of the Kiev shopping center "Gulliver"
The puppy joy of this brat is understandable, but her "happy grandfather" has once again signed that the level of his activity is the same shopping center and he has nothing to do in government positions. However, as well as all other representatives of the Kiev authorities. They made a farce out of the country.

Щенячью радость этой соплячки вполне можно понять, однако ее "счастливый дедушка" в очередной уже раз расписался в том , что уровень его деятельности это тот самый торговый центр и на государственных должностях ему делать нечего. Впрочем как и всем остальным представителям киевской власти. Сделали из страны балаган.
 
Liberals Lose It After Cornel West Tells CNN That NATO Is To Blame For Ukraine Crisis
BY TYLER DURDEN
FRIDAY, JUL 14, 2023 - 03:00 PM

Left-wing activist and academic firebrand Cornel West appeared on CNN prime time Thursday night, and gave show host Kaitlin Collins a dose of reality not typically heard on the network when the issue of the Ukraine war is broached. West recently announced as a Third-party 2024 presidential candidate (seeking the Green Party's nomination), so during the interview he was pressed on his foreign policy stance.

"If Russia had missiles in Mexico and Canada, the United States government would probably blow them to smithereens because that’s how empires behave. We had the same challenge in Cuba in 1962. So what we end up with is a criminal invasion," West stated firmly in the interview segment.

West then lashed out at the 'establishment Left' and mainstream Liberals in general...

"And I know that some of my left-wing comrades, ‘Oh it’s an invasion,’ but a criminal invasion provoked by the expansion of NATO, which is an instrument of U.S. global power," he said. Collins then asked what practical steps he would take to resolve the Russia-Ukraine crisis:

Collins: "Practically speaking, what would you accept in Ukraine? Like what? I mean, Trump claims he could fix it. What would that look like for you?"

West: "Oh, what I would do, I would bring in the Chinese, the Turks, the African rulers. I would sit down with the Ukrainian leaders and say, we must stop this war, stop these war crimes, cluster bombs on a variety of different parties and make sure that we begin a diplomatic process for a just peace."

He described robust negotiations which would inevitably lead to territorial concessions, to get Russian troops to leave...

"And that just peace is going to have some serious concessions across the board. Russian troops have to leave. There’s going to be debates over the territory. There going to be some kind of concessions over the territory, but stop the killing. Why?" West then answered his rhetorical question: "Because the Ukrainian brothers and sisters are precious and they are bearing so much of the suffering with this proxy war between the American empire and the Russian Federation."

"So there’s responsibility and blame across the board. But the American empire does bear a significant responsibility here, even though it is not the sole or exclusive responsibility. And it’s in no way a pro-Putin [talking point," he emphasized.

Perhaps entirely to be expected, the "outrage" and pile-one began as clips of the interview quickly went viral, with Mediaite declaring in a headline that the Ivy League professor was slammed by mainstream voices for being "No Different Than Trump, RFK Jr, Tucker Carlson". Pundits at Politico and elsewhere naturally rolled out the 'pro-Putin' and 'Kremlin agent' trope, but without addressing the arguments.

But journalist Glenn Greenwald pointed out that it's "Absolutely hilarious how angry and confused establishment liberals are than an actual, life-long, committed left-wing scholar would vehemently oppose the CIA/NATO proxy war in Ukraine."

"They barely exist in the US and are so rarely heard from that liberals can't comprehend it," Greenwald added while underscoring that West's breakdown of the situation is something mainstream media consumers are very rarely exposed to.

Anger and outrage!...

Remember when Christiane Amanpour began yelling at Wolf Blitzer about what you are allowed to say or not say concerning Ukraine over CNN airwaves?

Ed Snowden summarizes where things stand...

For another, albeit similarly fiercely independent angle...
