EDITOR—Loaded with lies and malicious innuendo, 60 Minutes “reports” on Russia are models of devious disinformation in which truth is upended, and neo-Nazis hailed as avatars of “democracy”. Scott Pelley. a senior honcho at 60 minutes, is, as usual, reliably cringeworthy. Pelley either knows nothing about the subject or is a consummate presstitute—maybe both, as is the case with so many prominent figures in US media. True to his mission, he doesn’t warn the audience that Lithuania has long been a rabid Russophobic nation (like Poland and the rest of the Baltics), and that they eagerly collaborated with the Nazis, and in a way, still do.

EDITOR—The main lesson of Covid, says Garland, is never trust the Government. Do your own research, do your thinking before adopting any position. Why should we trust a government, a ruling elite, that has committed enormous crimes in practically all continents and continues to do so, while lying through their teeth? Why should the American people think that a depraved ruling class that has engaged in many wars of choice, regime changes and so on, and is even now actively plotting more, causing incalculable suffering around the globe, all for self-enrichment, not the highfalutin ideals like “freedom” or “democracy” or “human rights” they always told the people, is going to suddenly become good and virtuous in their behaviour toward the American people? Why should a plutocracy, a bunch of billionaires with no real national attachment to any country, who follow nothing but the pursuit of wealth, be trusted with most of the major decisions in our lives? The Covid timeline alone should have alerted us, adds, Garland. But apparently it didn’t.

PATRICK CONNORS—With a few exceptions, The Times reporting on Israel’s ongoing assault in Gaza has been dreadful and deserves condemnation. The paper has deliberately obscured or lazily failed to examine key events and realities, and presented information in a way that attempts to portray a balanced conflict where both sides are suffering similarly, rather than the reality of a one-sided Israeli massacre of Palestinian civilians. The Times has omitted key facts in a way that hypes threats to Israel while obscuring Israel’s overwhelming power, and control over and brutal repression of Palestinians.

JIMMY DORE SHOW—Former Marine Intelligence Officer and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter was at JFK airport, prepared to fly to St. Petersburg, Russia for a major conference when customs agents, at the behest of the State Department, seized Ritter’s passport and refused to allow him to board the plane. Jimmy speaks with Ritter about what happened and why he thinks the State Department has targeted him to prevent him from making this particular trip to Russia.

PCR—“Scott Ritter explains that any further attacks on Russian strategic sites or attacks on Russian territory using missiles or cruise missiles will result in Russia hitting back against all the NATO targets — inside and outside Ukraine — responsible for such attacks.
“This includes US aerial reconnaissance assets: US satellites, AWACS, and Reaper drones; it includes any NATO headquarters and air bases that were involved in the preparation, programming, targeting, and launching of the long-range missiles and drones used to hit Russian territory. This includes bases within France, the UK, Germany, and possibly the US.
“Ritter says that such attacks would result in the NATO nations struck by Russian retaliatory strikes invoking Article V of the NATO Charter, claiming they had been attacked by Russia. Ritter says that if NATO member states take this action and unite in war against Russia, then Russia will launch a massive nuclear strike against all these nations. I hope he is wrong.
