By the way, I avoid Ritter, Escobar, and Galloway. There are way too many really great guys out there to waste time on them. And I get bloody annoyed at Napolitano telling me to buy gold and a gun. The latter, presumably, lest somebody tries to take the former off me.

I have little time for all these ex CIA guys. I don't forget or forgive that quickly. Though I had a lot of time for Philip Agee.

And I miss Chomsky. And Ed Herman. Though they've written loads that seems to never get old, thank goodness. And I don't buy that recent line that says that we need to throw out the propaganda model simply coz the BBC suddenly seems to have some guy friendly to Mossad running the show. I haven't seen that expressed anywhere outside one brief thread on LBN.

Berletic and Sleboda are nearly always good. Then there's Marandi, Mouin Rabbani, Khalidi, EI, and some others. Actually, there's fecking loads of others. Thank god for the internet! I have some time for McGregor, just about, though normally, I don't have much time for military or ex-military. Most of those feckers are still way too proud of what they did. (Larry Johnson being a case in point.) Berletic being a notable exception. Ritter never shuts up about having been a goddamn marine. And he's just too hysterical and a drama queen, to boot, for my liking. Lately he seems to be trying to curry favour with Trump et al. He hadn't realised being a rebel has a price that he is suddenly not willing to pay. And you won't find Ritter going on hunger strike if they lock him up, unlike that elderly Jewish woman who graced our pages and Holborn nick a few days ago. Not unless he's sure the entire world is watching, at any rate.

Anyway, having got that off my chest, here's Marouf with Craig Murray
