JIMMY DORE SHOW—According to former GOP House Representative and staunch libertarian Ron Paul, elements within the United States government have for years been plotting how to overthrow the current Russian regime. The recent terror attacks, he says, were likely an outgrowth of those elements feeling that they needed to act before Ukraine capitulates and concedes defeat to Russia. Jimmy and Due Dissidence host Keaton Weiss discuss the sociopathic strain that leads U.S. Deep State officials to believe they have the right to brazenly control other nations.

MARK SLEBODA—Nearly 140 people were murdered in a horrific terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall in the Moscow region last week, with the Biden Admin immediately claiming Ukraine wasn’t responsible, and that it must have been the elusive group ISIS-K… International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted that ISIS-K has a history of being accused of being a CIA front, as it fights the same groups Washington is fighting—but never the U.S. Therefore, some have suggested the Russian government views ISIS-K as a “fig leaf of plausible deniability” in this attack, and a cover for Kiev. In his latest comments, Russian President Putin said they know the attack was carried out by radical Islamists, but now they want to know who orchestrated it, saying, “We know who carried out the attack. We want to know who ordered it.”

MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY—On March 7, 2024, the US Embassy in Russia warned Moscow that a terror attack may take place in Moscow within the next few weeks. No further details.
Is it one of the now fashionable “predictive planning” stunts? On the same day, the same US Embassy in Moscow warned US citizens in Moscow not to visit shopping malls. How much did the US know? Speculations abound. Was this an empty warning to destabilize Russia and Russian elections?

Or was it one more provocation to pull Russia into a larger conflict? On the day of the attack, John Kirby, spokesman for National Security at the White House said in a Press Conference that there were no indications that Ukraine had anything to do with the attack. In early March Washington just had some indications that a terror assault may hit Moscow.

“Some indications”? Why then the warning on the same 7 March to US citizens in Moscow not to visit any shopping malls? It could not be more obvious that a hidden agenda is being played by Washington – and, may be added, by NATO and Europe?

GARLAND NIXON—Garland, outclassing Columbo, quickly sorts out the logic behind the moves of the perpetrators of the Moscow concert massacre, arguing that, far from being ISIS, as loudly proclaimed by the Western media, they are probably connected to Ukraine’s military and security services, currently chiefly under the command of Kyrylo Budanov. “Their escape route pointed toward Ukraine,” notes Garland. “Most criminals, after committing their crimes, tend to go home.”

GILBERT DOCTOROW—it is entirely logical that in response to the election results we have not heard derogatory personal remarks coming from the occupant of the Oval Office in Washington, who in the not so distant past has called Putin a ‘crazy SOB,’ a ‘murderous dictator’ and a ‘pure thug.’  No, official Washington is speaking of Putin as the ‘leader of Russia,’ meaning that he is the ‘go to’ man if there are to be negotiations to end the Ukraine war, an idea that is very much on the minds of Washington elites now that their bet on Kiev has turned to dross, and calamity on the field of battle is not welcome for an incumbent when America enters the heat of its own electoral cycle.
