We read from and comment on Chapter 12 of "Israel's Superspy: The Life and Murder of a Media Mogul" by Gordon Thomas and Martin Dillon, which details Robert Maxwell's relationship with Semion Mogilevich which was cultivated in the years prior to Maxwell's death, and Maxwell's primary role in helping to elevate Mogilevich and his crime syndicate to global prominence, as well as some of the consequences of this relationship.

We continue reading from and giving commentary on pages 306-318 of "Putin's People" by Catherine Belton, which focuses on Semion Mogilevich, who was recently put back on the FBI's most wanted list. We also read the beginning of a follow up chapter which details some of the background of influential Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich.

As we prepare to do a deep dive into Oliver Stone and his primary role in helping to shape the pro Russian narrative with regards to both Ukraine as well as perceptions of Vladimir Putin, we read from a portion of the book "Putin's People" by Catherine Belton which deals with elements of the global Russian based organized crime syndicate/mafia.

We discuss the recent Mediaroots podcast by Abby and Robbie Martin, titled "RIP RT America: The End of an Era," which details Abby's time at RT and some of hers and Robbie's thoughts and recollections. We talk about some of Abby's strong points in terms of activism and journalism as well as areas where her coverage and perspective falls short. We close by discussing Russian state media policy related to September 11th, bringing in Abby as well as John Kiriakou of Radio Sputnik.

We read from and provide commentary on portions of the book "The Future is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia" by Masha Gessen, with a focus on Alexander Dugin and his belief in a "greater Russia," and how it figures into the goals and policies pursued by Vladimir Putin. We also discuss the importance of maintaining a nuanced outlook when it comes to Russia/Ukraine as well as in general.

Correction: Douglas MacGregor is a retired Colonel, not a General. 

We discuss the recent 19th anniversary of the 2003 US war on Iraq, some of the realities about the background to and launching of which still need  to be dealt with, and parallels between it and current geopolitical events. We also discuss concerns about potential future cyber attacks while focusing on Anne Neuberger, the Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technology in the Biden Administration. We close by discussing Representative Adam Kinzinger stating that future US aid to Israel could be dependent upon how much Israel is willing to support Ukraine, and what this might mean for the future of the "special relationship."

We talk about fears of a potential false flag that could in an even bigger escalation of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and we discuss the failures of both Western and Russian media/government etc to deal with the reality of false flag terror, due in large part to the role of both in carrying out and covering up these operations in order to advance pro war policies. We draw parallels between the reactions to the Moscow bombing in Russia which resulted in Putin's rise to power during the Second Chechen War and the reactions to the events of September 11th by Americans.

We focus on some of the propaganda narratives surrounding Russia/Ukraine, including both Steve Bannon and Max Blumenthal arguing that Ukraine is not a legitimate nation with legitimate interests, and how Republicans and right wing media continue to run cover for Trump/Russia and the 2016 operation under the guise of hawkishness toward and against Russia.

We continue our series on Russia/Ukraine by discussing the background of Vladimir Putin's relationship with Henry Kissinger and why it is important to understand. We also discuss the primary role of Paul Manafort and his network in stealing both the American and Ukrainian elections in 2004.
