Watch an old reporter turned politician do a few rounds in the ring with skilled Russian interviewer, Oksana Boyko of RT. Oksana gives him his head initially and he struts predictably, but things get interesting later, particularly on the issue of Australia's role and responsibility for the mess in the Middle East and Syria. (Bob Carr was a recent foreign affairs minister for Australia.) For me, it was fascinating listening to Carr's 'justifications'. Could a grown-up really believe this stuff? Who knows when Western leaders may really be called to account for their removal of order and warmongering in the Middle East. I wonder if this troubles them, if they lie awake at night going over their stories.

Real insider information about the surveillance system in the United States, its history and its vulnerabilities. In this excellent interview, Binney is asked by RT's Sophie Shevardnadze of Sophie Co what he thinks will happen to Edward Snowden if he comes home to "man up" as John Kerry suggested, apparently with a straight face.

"Human beings and organisations as a reflection of human beings are not as rational as we think they are. It is a sobering thing and not a welcome fact, but it is like this. Unfortunately, we are not really cartesian animals." (Former Deputy Secretary General of NATO, Alessandro Minuto-Rizzo).

This article was originally published on Russia Today 16 August 2013 with the disclaimer, "The statements, views and opinions expressed in this column are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of RT." Whilst on-line news services such as Russia Today Press TV are good sources from which to learn the truth, particularly about the conflict in Syria, which is contrary to what we are fed from the mainstream news media (msm), they unfortunately mirror the msm's political correctness in regard to immigrants and claimed asylum seekers. A substantial number of articles from such news services have reported on the plight of prospective immigrants attempting to enter countries such as Canada, the United States, Europe and Australia, without regard to the already dire economic circumstance of many native inhabitants of those countries, which can only be made worse by the arrival of more immigrants also seeking shelter in a tight housing market and employment where unemployment is already high. This article by Tony Gosling is a welcome change from Russia Today's usual political correctness on the immigration question. A similar viewpoint was recently put by Australian Labor Party MP Kelvin Thomson at the inaugural meeting of Victoria First on 1 December 2013.
Britain's shadow minister for borders and immigration, Labour's Chris Bryant, promised to take on the big corporations this week. But as his embargoed speech was leaked to big business, the nation watched his political resolve melt into nothing. |

As the world approaches the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attack of 11 September 2011 (9/11) which destroyed the World Trade Centre Twin Towers and a third tower, the World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC7), Russia Today has released a video, presented by Daniel Bush (pictured), which tells the truth about (9/11). Informed and honest people have for years tried to show that the official US government account of what occurred was impossible. As one of many examples, WTC7 could not have collapsed at free fall speed, if fire alone had been the cause. There is no other way known to engineers to cause the collapse of a steel framed building at free fall speed unless its supporting steel structure had been removed with demolition explosives. Many witnesses have attested to having heard explosions. This is is also confirmed by much of the video footage of the 'collapsing' Twin Towers.
In recent years, PressTV, Russia Today and other newsmedia with integrity, have begun, more and more, to challenge the Official 9/11 lie. This report by a broadcaster with the profile of Russia Today on the eave of the 12th anniversary of 9/11, will make it impossible for the Mainstream presstitute media to continue to conceal the truth of 9/11 from the public. |
