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.

Grayzone challenges Guardian reporter on US state-funded Syria smears

What is the theme that unites the careers and psychological profiles of Maximilian Robespierre, Trotsky, Steve Bannon and Miles Guo across the ages?

The fact is that all four men were used as controlled opposition to national power structures which were were targetted for self-induced destruction and civil war by a supranational oligarchy.

In this episode of The Great Game, Matt unpacks Bannon's connection to fascist supranational intelligence operations associated with the highest echelons of the black nobility including Lord Nicholas Windsor, and the late Count Otto von Hapsburg.

This story takes us into the real story behind the fascist Pan European Movement which Hapsburg managed for over 40 years and which was founded by leading fascists like Count Coudenhove-Kalergi, Mussolini, Alexander Helphand, Eric Warburg, Walter Lippmann and Hjalmar Schacht in 1922.

This organization designed to promote a system of "benign feudalism" served as counter-gang to the supranational League of Nations founded in 1919. We took an additional look at the deeper subversion of the french state and the murder of Ben Franklin's leading collaborators during the dark years of Jacobin terror which opened the floodgates for pseudo fascist Napoleon Bonaparte by 1795 and the replication of this strategy in the fomentation of the jacobin terror operations of the late 19th-early 19th century led by Trotsky and Lenin who Steve Bannon used as role models for his current strategy of uniting the right around a peculiar brand of Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations ideology.

This entire story helps us understand the true nature of the Jesuits and earlier splintering of the church into warring factions after the League of Cambrai of 1508-1512

This context additionally helps us better understand the role of Miles Gao, Falun Gong and the Epoch Times

Controlled Opposition, Jesuits and Countergangs

I interview independent journalist George Eliason based in Donbass for shocking insight into the predatory nature of NATO member states.

"Why is Zelensky shelling a Nuclear plant? The war will end and money stream will dry up. If Ukraine sets off a Nuclear explosion (3 times that of Chernobyl) funding opportunities increase and are guaranteed for 100 years during clean-up operations. This IS the thought behind the process. Bankrupting EU and US while ensuring disappearance of Russians and Russian speakers in the region."

Follow and help fund independent journalist George Eliason on Substack and TNT radio. He has been based in Donbass since before 2014.

NATO ready to attack a Nuclear plant to ethnically cleanse Russians from Ukraine - George Eliason

“Germ and chemical weapons may often be weak in their battlefield applications but they are always strong in their emotiveness. Accusations of association with them have for centuries, even millennia, been used by well-intentioned as well as unscrupulous people to vilify enemies and to calumniate rivals. Can onlookers protect themselves against the possibility of such assaults upon their common sense today?”- Julian Perry Robinson

I interview journalist and geopolitical analyst for the Libertarian Institute - William Van Wagenen about his article covering the 2013 Eastern Ghouta alleged chemical attacks in Syria. Van Wagenen has done an incredible job of drawing all the threads together and demonstrating the collusion of Western, Israeli, Turkish and Gulf Intelligence agencies in the staging of events designed to provoke US/UK-led military intervention and to topple the Syrian government.

‘Sarin Doesn’t Slice Throats’: The 2013 Ghouta Massacre Revisited

Justin Hart discusses his new book on how the world went mad over coronavirus. These bouts of madness are nothing new as he describes how hundreds of years ago nasty authoritarians arose during the Italian Black Plague. He explains how there never was any science behind things like (anti)social distancing, masks, asymptomatic spread, etc. Governments fudged cases and death tolls and the experimental injections are dangerous and he expects lawsuits to follow.

Justin Hart: Corona Madness & Authoritarianism Could Come Back If We Allow It #320

The Biden administration's aggressive sanctions aim to "kneecap" China's tech sector. A former Pentagon official acknowledged it is a "disproportionate" and "unilateral" attack, a "form of economic containment."

US waging brutal economic and tech war to halt China's rise, DC elites say openly

"Those most touched by the war, namely the internally displaced, were more likely to prioritise saving lives. Other research reveals that those farthest from the battlefields have the most hawkish attitudes."

Those two simple sentences sum up so much of the attitude we are seeing toward this war, and it applies as much to those cheerleading continual escalation and bloodshed from the comfort of their homes on the other side of the world.

The Farther People Are From The Fighting In Ukraine, The More They Oppose Peace Talks

A system which perpetuates and exacerbates itself while pretending to solve the problems it creates is often called a self-licking ice cream cone. Because that type of system is promoted by those serving the most powerful and belligerent power structure on earth, one might call US militarism a self-licking boot.

Let's Be Clear: If WW3 Happens It Will Be The Result Of Choices Made By The US Empire

Democracy of the vote without democracy of information is not democracy. It doesn't matter if people are able to vote as long as the media-owning class are able to manipulate how they vote. "One person, one vote" is meaningless if influence and control of information is highly concentrated in an elite few. And it is.

Real Democracy Means Democracy Of Information

Two false news reports have gone viral in recent hours due to sloppy sourcing and journalistic malpractice. As usual they both featured bogus claims about US-targeted nations, in this case Russia and Iran.
