Is Big Media Echoing Accusations to Demonize Russia and Continue Afghan War?
After corporate media’s willingness to repeat the baseless and unfounded claims… it is no surprise they would go along, willingly and enthusiastically, with anonymous statements made without evidence, once again, in order to justify war in the Muslim world, to increase tensions with Russia, and to stoke Pentagon and military industry budgets.

Rowley Scrutinizes Mueller’s Statement
“While Mueller’s comment that it would not be right to accuse a sitting president with a crime when that crime could not be prosecuted in court (due to a DOJ [Department of Justice] policy memo) may be good as far as it specifically goes, his reliance on that prior DOJ memo for his punting decision-making on whether…

Issues with Mueller: Was There a Russian “Attack”? Why Didn’t He Question Assange?
