Thanks for posting .jeffrey Sachs is a powerful and coherent witness to what ha s been and continues to happen. He covers in a few minutes what uur friends the two Alexanders take several hours to do! (that's not to criticise them in any other way) The problem as always is the MSM's total control over dissenting opinion. The only outlet for this opinion that I have found in the MSM is "The Economist".which must publish his opinion for fun,I think, as this outlet has been hung-ho anti-russian from the start, and of course, all its articles are behind a paywall. Little of Sach's writing or opinion appears in iny other MSM outlet. (from Google searches - Jeffrey Sachs NATO and Jeffrey Sachs Ukraine) Here are the only two I've found elsewhere,
and of course when he does appear and says something contentious he's pulled off air and the video disappears https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/media/us-professor- hauled-off-air-over-nord-stream-pipeline-accusation/news-story/ce9349858e3bcfa63299d1c58d085e74 What we have in the world, or at least the Western world now, is a dliiberatly introuduced pandemic of ignorance. Or if you prefer, a political omertà. As Sachs notes in his interview, who blew up the pipeline? All the leadership must know, like they must know the Ukraine casualty figures (Ursula van der Laden gave that away), but no one says anything. The power of conformity that has allowed the public to be kept truly ignorant, I wouldn't have believed it was possible if I wasn't now living through it. "The information age" - what is that? I mean, the time leading up to WW1 must have been similar, but today?
