You know that is the thing about truth tellers, whistle blowers, conscientious objectors, real scientists, actual patriots, heroic! They aren't assholes. These are the people that should be running the show, what do we get instead, wall to wall assholes!

It’s a Marxist takeover and truth is irrelevant to them.

Being from the UK I'm always interested in this subject matter as it was MI6 that put the false dossier together claiming these weapons existed. Richard Dearlove put the dossier together in 2003 and it wasn't until the Chilcot report that it got exposed as false, some year later. Under that war criminal Tony Bliar.

You jealous, competitive limeys! Trying to rob a little of our (US) fully earned nickname ''The Empire of Lies." OK, you helped, but we could have done it without you. I'll see your Tony Blair and raise you a Dubbya.

It's not jealousy just historical facts. Just look at what Blair did during the Nato bombing of Yugoslavia, Bush was not at all convinced about it at the time and had to be persuaded by that war criminal Blair to go through with it. Don't forget the CIA was based on MI6 and until the 2nd world war the US didn't have peace time covert intelligence at all. It was only the Dulles brother's working with the lawyers Cromwell and Sullivan that were involved in such nefarious activities.

100% it certainly is not jealousy. The UK brain still runs the US brawn. Why is it that some people even want to be the best bad guys responsible for so much death and destruction just to be the Empire of Lies?

Very well said Carol. Absolutely not a bragging point, sadly the British empire are the past masters of this BS. America may have overtly taken the baton from the British after the 2nd world war but a scratch beneath the surface and a real knowledge of history reveals how the game has been played. Look how the Brtish tried to subvert the US republic time and again. In fact the irony is, it was the Russians that came to the US's aid during the civi war of 1865 otherwise the America we know today would not exist.

Bush had to be "persuaded"? Like with arguments? And it was Blair's idea?

I was going to continue with the satire, pretending you are jealous but since your sense of irony didn't click I'll speak to you in all seriousness.

It is not the UK or the US or any of the puppets pretending to run them. Anything of real importance comes from the City, where the money masters formulate the directives. Blair probably got it from the first reading and then told Bush to read them slowly again replacing some of the longer words with simpler synonyms.

The satire wasn't wasted believe me. And yes it's 'The city'. City of London the 1 square mile that has its own constitution like DC has, the corporation of America. The British empire was only the Roman/venetian empire relocated and reconstituted. It's not the Rothschilds or the Rockafellas that run the show they are merely staff when it comes to the 13 saturnalia families known as black nobility or papal bloodlines. Although the Rothschilds did marry into the Aldobrandini family who are 1 of the 5 ptolomeic bloodlines who hold priority over the saturnalia bloodlines. The Bush family are a bloodline that goes back over a 2000 years to Philip of Macedon Alexander the great's father same as the Roosevelt bloodline.

In the end, the only values that really matter. are your integrity and honor. Thank you for sharing the story of a true liberal who believed that we should not go to war at the drop of a hat. It explains why Kamala has flipped so many times since her party was once the anti-war party and is today 110% in War mode. 🌻❤️

Thanks Martin,

The "City of London" financial district is still going strong! The control of money and who has it is important to focus on as well.

Expand full comment

Indeed it is Ken. It's been the centre of western finance since the Venetians relocated there from Holland where the Venetians had originally relocated its financial affairs. It all ties into 'The Glorious revolution' and the house of orange 1688. In Britain the groundwork was really done during the reign of Henry VIII by his handler Francesco Zorzi a Venetian Kabbalist. That's why I always refer to bloodlines. Saxe Gotha Coburg/Windsor goes back to Guelphs who in turn are from the house of Estee, Black nobility papal bloodlines.

Then you should be interested in what I have to say. As I'm the only person on the planet who told this story in full (from every angle that matters most). To claim that Iraq WMD wasn't a lie should be like saying we didn't land on the moon. As I wrote and produced the most exhaustive documentary ever done on WMD, I would know. When's the last time you've seen specificity like this on Iraq WMD? My guess -- never:

*****************

DOE’s standard is to spin a tube at 20% above 90,000 RPM before failure — so 48,000 short is a pretty loose definition of “rough indication.” And since the entire point of testing should be to replicate the conditions of centrifuges, one would think that the full-blown testing would be performed before the NIE was completed.

Out of 31 tubes in subsequent testing, only one was successfully spun to 90,000 RPM for 65 minutes — which the CIA seized on as evidence in their favor.

One DOE analyst offered a superb analogy of that contorted conclusion: “Running your car up to 6,500 RPM briefly does not prove that you can run your car at 6,500 RPM cross country. It just doesn’t. Your car’s not going to make it.”

In an industry where fractions of a millimeter matter, these guys were playing horseshoes with centrifuge physics . . .

— Richard W. Memmer: Act II

*****************

My surgical specificity in this clip puts this lie in its place in 5 minutes alone: https://youtu.be/X9Si5T2EmZA Imagine what I did with 160!

On that fiasco for the ages that shaped everything you see today, America just casually moved on. I didn’t — as I knew then what few know now: The immeasurable value in the willingness to be wrong, understanding why, and looking to learn from it. And that not doing so — increasingly compounds the consequences of no accountability. Look around!

The press stories I’ve read of Phil Donahue’s passing spin his foray into the cable talk show world as brief and a failure. They casually mention his short lived show on msnbc and carefully note that it was quickly cancelled, leaving the impression that he was cancelled due to low ratings. They never mention his was their top rated show and cancelled purely due to pressure from the power of the empire, now known as the deep state. Donahue is gone, but entrenched power continues to tighten the screws on truth tellers.

Remember Phil's show when he had David Cole disputing the Holocaust gas chamber tales! Try to imagine any TV program touching that topic today. You can't.

No, it wasn't "poor ratings" that got his show cancelled.

But to be completely fair, neither can I imagine a TV program on this topic in Russia either, where you can go to prison for denying the holo narrative because the Soviet Union helped to midwife its invention by building those "replicas" and participating in the Nuremberg trials farçe.

Thank you Scott, I saw you on that program, I saw how hard Donahue was working to establish the truth. It was clear that Donahue was taking quite a risk. He was a brave and honorable man, as you are.

I also remember Donahue's top rated show suddenly being canceled. That specific program, and then the show's cancelation helped me shake off the very last of my beliefs in the integrity of either the press or of the MIC.

Thank you for your unending efforts, and I am sure Donahue was welcomed into Heaven by a host of well wishers. May he rest in peace.

Beautiful write-up. Thank you for reminding us of what happened--and what continues to happen to anyone who speaks the truth in America.

The truth and truth tellers have always had a hard time of it in our “democracy”. Maybe that’s true of all democracies as the power brokers struggle to get the “mob” under control. But you, Scott, you and many like you have held our country’s head above the water as they attempt to drowned Truth in the bathtub. Thank you thank you thank you. Your work and integrity are a beacon for those coming behind you. Inch by inch, we’ll push the truth into the light and be a better world for it.

Now NBC/MSNBC et al. will not allow opposing views - i.e., the truth - about Ukraine: 10 years of violence in Eastern Ukraine, discrimination against ethnic Russians and Russian speakers, ignoring the 2014 and 2015 Minsk agreements, more recent aborting of ceasefire and peace initiatives and suppression of rights, including religious and press freedom, suppressing Russian culture, even the classics, etc. It must be the narrative of Ukraine fighting for freedom, democracy and the rule of law, not just for itself but everyone. And Rachel Maddow and the other talking - or shrieking - heads make their millions.

On the other hand, it's nice to see that Scott has moved on: from paid shill for Saddam to Kremlin Stooge. (Sarcasm, of course; love you, Scott!)

Phil was the roommate and/or great friend of fellow late Delmar, NY resident (not far from you), Frank O'Brien at Notre Dame. I never heard a bad word about him from a personal POV.

PS - Scott, you forgot to mention Mr. Donohue's shows with Vladimir Posner. Imagine trying that in the current environment.
