A recent article in The Guardian parroted a US state-funded group's evidence-free allegations that The Grayzone’s Aaron Maté -- who has reported extensively on the OPCW’s Syria cover-up scandal -- is "the most prolific spreader of disinformation" about Syria among a "network" of "conspiracy theorists."

Aaron called Guardian reporter Mark Townsend on the phone to ask him to substantiate these defamatory claims, and why he didn’t reach out before printing them. 

Guest: Mark Townsend. Reporter for The Guardian who wrote the story, “Network of Syria conspiracy theorists identified” — now updated with Aaron Maté’s response.

Note: to reduce repetition, the recording of the phone call between Aaron and Mark Townsend has been shortened. Townsend was contacted for comment prior to publication of this segment, but did not respond.

Two former US diplomats admitted that 87% of the world's population has refused to enforce the West's sanctions on Russia, showing neutrality over the proxy war in Ukraine. They said "the outbreak of Cold War II" has led countries "to become increasingly multi-aligned," especially in the Global South.

Abby & Robbie go over a brief history of British Imperialism and comment on the strange balancing act of 'right populists' like Tucker Carlson emulating the rhetoric of neocon psychopath Robert Kagan by saying the British empire was the 'most humane' empire in human history. In the last third of the podcast they comment on the Mar-a-lago raid, Ukraine and the weaponized deep state tool Robbie likes to refer to as Ron DeCIAntis.

note: the article referenced at the beginning of the podcast 'The Soft Bigotry of 9/11' was fake and both Abby and Robbie thought it was real at the time of recording this podcast.
