I’ll be holding a Callin discussion about the article, “Another All-Time Media Faceplant” today at 3:00 p.m. EST. Those interested in joining in are most welcome, just click here. Also, I finally have some good news, as Callin is apparently now Android accessible:
Biden’s own CIA director, career diplomat and Russia hand William Burns, has long argued that NATO expansion, especially with regard to Ukraine, is a provocative miscalculation that will enrage Russia and exacerbate tensions across eastern Europe. In a 2008 memo to Condoleeza Rice, then Bush’s Secretary of State, Burns wrote:
“Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.”
strategic exploitation of the ignorance and general cognitive disabilities of the American public… the way they virtue signal here and there and slide in the crooks to do all the bidding. America needs to wake up.
What the Hell does that have to do with the current Ukrainian situation? Are you proposing that this is all Adam Shit's fault? That he and the Cabal actually want a war in Europe? That he has tricked Putin into invading Ukraine, or is this all just a hoax and there is really not an invasion going on? What would be the long term plan for this cabal?
They are trying to create inflation and a financial collapse. This gets people's eye off the ball. Everyone except our mutual funds running 401Ks is shorting stocks. Putin is probably even shorting our stock market so when it falls you lose money and they make money.
Thank you for this info. It's really a shame that after 2 weeks of this invasion scare that not one news program, radio or tv has explored or even mentioned this especially with all the "Experts" on Russia or Ukraine explaining the history. Putin is an autocratic thug, but he is smart in the ways of global politics. Now that he has some leverage with energy resources and funds saved up to weather sanctions he has played the Biden admin like a fiddle. I sincerely hope there is no invasion, since the people of Ukraine, who have suffered greatly over the last 80 plus years will again be the ones who suffer the most. I like the idea of Zelensky agreeing to not join NATO as the simple solution as long as Russia agrees to remove their forces from the borders and the Donbas region. Some people are comparing it to appeasing the nazis before WWII, but It's definitely not the same. Call Putin's bluff, agree to 1 of his demands, No NATO, and then see what he does.

The Plot to Scapegoat Russia: How the CIA and the Deep State Have Conspired to Vilify Putin
I really agree. But more to the point it's not even about which nation has better claim to their state/orphaned state. It's not controversial to posit that if there were some sort of aggressive, encroaching, Warsaw Pact-style action in Mexico (not even Texas or anything like that!) then America would completely lose it. It's like the Munroe doctrine is acceptable for us, yet we can run up on Russia's borders like that's just the obvious thing to do! It's straight up, blind, exceptionalism. From my Western point of view, it's very frustrating. Sure I'd like to see more liberalism and democracy in the East, who wouldn't! But then we in the West pull this crap and act surprised when it not only doesn't fly, but bolsters our supposed opponent's domestic position? I call BS. I call military industrial media info bull-crap.
I already bought Kovalik's book to listen to. In the interview, Russia nad the US were friends till the middle of the Bush regime. There was a fallout, about Iran, I am not sure, but I do know the rift happened at the middle of the Bush regime. Putin I know did not like being called Pootty Poot one one of the visits. Bush did say he looked into his eyes and saw his soul. (He must have been another lizard man, satirical joke)
Southern people in the US create names as terms of endearment for friends. Pooty-Poot-Poot (I forgot the last Poot) was Putin's term of endearment. Tennessee Williams showed this by using "Big Daddy" in his play "CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF" Pooty-Poot-Poot is the sound of gas leaving your anus. This comes from a man that could look into Putin's eyes and see his soul.
The first site posted is from the G.W. Rush's views and the second is how Pooty-Poot-Poot went over with the country. Many of the sites seem to have disappeared.
It ALL starts with modern “original sin” and the Big Lie.
Key players in the Russia-gate hoax and impeachment “entertainments” are now celebrating about “all but certain major war in Europe a la WW2” which they eagerly stoked.
Repulsive ghouls Adam Schiff, colonel Alexander Windman (an extremist Ukrainian), Jake Sullivan, advisor to Hillary who played key role in the Russia-gate hoax and now national security advisor to Biden (he “replaced” Michael Flynn), Fiona Hill (a rabid Cold War warrior on National Security Council).
SAME lying bastards who led the scam of the century concocted by the SAME lying team -- Obama-Biden-Hillary-Pelosi-Schumer-Schiff and the rest of DNC-CIA/FBI cabal.
Adam Schiff has been, for years, a leading recipient of huge “donations” by arm industry – his main source of funds. Remember when Raytheon in 2013 put on a Beyonce concert to promote Adam Schiff? This despicable -- that human excrement and serial liar is among leading Congress war-mongers and recipient of arm industry donations.
Schiff is now driving government’s domestic terrorism legislation !!
In his free time this loathsome grifter wants to write a novel – of all things about Holocaust.
The entire Russia-gate lying team is back in FULL power -- we are now paying the price for not fully unmasking the brazen scam of the century. Of course, Trump and GOP lunatics were and remain VERY bad – however, DNC lying and warmongering team is INFINITELY more dangerous.
What the Hell does that have to do with the current Ukrainian situation? Are you proposing that this is all Adam Shit's fault? That he and the Cabal actually want a war in Europe? That he has tricked Putin into invading Ukraine, or is this all just a hoax and there is really not an invasion going on? What would be the long term plan for this cabal?
He allows NO opposition, NONE! that simple fact alone proves my point. He changes the rules so he can stay in power indefinitely and removes any chance anyone else has. What would you call a person like that?Now he's just sent a "peacekeeping"force into the pretty much already occupied areas of Eastern Ukraine. Okay, fine let him stop there
With the war in Afghanistan wrapped up, we need new territory provided with arms and advisors to keep our war machined cranking out the hardware and bullshit.
By the time this debacle dies out, which I hope it does soon, US citizens will believe there was a war and we won it even though no shot was fired. But more seriously, I fear the US creating some kind of false-flag situation in Ukraine, a bombing, a supposed cyber attack, and who knows, maybe even the intentional killing of Russians in the Donbass, in order to blame the Russians. Since none of their prognostications have come to fruition, the US may be compelled to create something to save face.
great stuff Matt. i have been following you since your days at Rolling Stone, one of the few truly investigative journalists left standing. you have inspired me to write here on Substack as well. https://leemartin.substack.com/?utm_source=discover_search
i live outside of Ottawa and written a couple of articles about Civil Liberties as the recent events are so concerning, in particular where it could all lead and the lack of independent media here in Canada. keep up the good work, i forward your articles all the time
Hey — does anyone else think it was Putin’s idea all along to invade Ukraine after Crimea, but he had to hold off during the Trump admin because he knew Trump was too trigger happy & would potentially get involved/go nuclear?
Religions are clearly captured by the social/political/financial structure of society. Nonetheless is it not necessary to posit some transcendental 'truth/love/compassion' devoid of authority? Is there not an obligation of enquiry by any human that sees the injustice of human societies? Aren't we all reflections of and in large or small ways contributors to the 'mad' world we live in? Doesn't social responsibility begin with the link between personal responsibility and the society we 'participate in'? Isn't our every relationship between each other the core beginning point to see the extrapolated general calamity and cure for our selves and our fellow humans? Doesn't all this imply a collective error in our thinking and our personal buy in to that error? Does the 'assumption' that the thinker is separate from his thoughts prevent a perception that transcends thinking and arises from love and compassion?
I think the Russian invasion is a disinformation campaign designed to create fear. Then when the invasion doesn’t happen, the Dems can run on “We prevented war in Europe.” Too cynical?
Because I want to inform myself about them and I don’t do podcasts. Caps bc I have been asking for a while and have had no reply or acknowledgement. Not suggesting he spend his precious time copying transcripts in longhand or calligraphy. There is software for that. More requests? Yes, more of his stuff, to be available via reading rather than hearing.
Great and FYI:
Biden’s own CIA director, career diplomat and Russia hand William Burns, has long argued that NATO expansion, especially with regard to Ukraine, is a provocative miscalculation that will enrage Russia and exacerbate tensions across eastern Europe. In a 2008 memo to Condoleeza Rice, then Bush’s Secretary of State, Burns wrote:

In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.”
Wow, interesting to see this administration banging the war drums. But not surprising.
Same lying team that concocted the Russia-gate hoax and 2014 bloody coup that overthrew democratically elected Ukraine government
strategic exploitation of the ignorance and general cognitive disabilities of the American public… the way they virtue signal here and there and slide in the crooks to do all the bidding. America needs to wake up.
Or otherwise known as the last gasps and the empire.
The same lying team has been in there since George Bush (Senior)
What the Hell does that have to do with the current Ukrainian situation? Are you proposing that this is all Adam Shit's fault? That he and the Cabal actually want a war in Europe? That he has tricked Putin into invading Ukraine, or is this all just a hoax and there is really not an invasion going on? What would be the long term plan for this cabal?
$$$ -- mucho dollares.... from arms industry
Doesn’t every president with lagging poll numbers seek a foreign conflict for domestic favorability? So yes, I agree. Not surprising.
They are trying to create inflation and a financial collapse. This gets people's eye off the ball. Everyone except our mutual funds running 401Ks is shorting stocks. Putin is probably even shorting our stock market so when it falls you lose money and they make money.
They are too old to bang each other. (satirical joke)
Thank you for this info.

Russia has a better claim to the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine than the US has to Texas.
(Jeffrey St. Clair – Feb. 5 2022)
I really agree. But more to the point it's not even about which nation has better claim to their state/orphaned state. It's not controversial to posit that if there were some sort of aggressive, encroaching, Warsaw Pact-style action in Mexico (not even Texas or anything like that!) then America would completely lose it. It's like the Munroe doctrine is acceptable for us, yet we can run up on Russia's borders like that's just the obvious thing to do! It's straight up, blind, exceptionalism.

But then we in the West pull this crap and act surprised when it not only doesn't fly, but bolsters our supposed opponent's domestic position? I call BS. I call military industrial media info bull-crap.
Btw. I intended this comment as reply to "Russia has a better claim to the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine than the US has to Texas."
I already bought Kovalik's book to listen to. In the interview, Russia nad the US were friends till the middle of the Bush regime. There was a fallout, about Iran, I am not sure, but I do know the rift happened at the middle of the Bush regime. Putin I know did not like being called Pootty Poot one one of the visits. Bush did say he looked into his eyes and saw his soul. (He must have been another lizard man, satirical joke)
Thanks, I think it was Yugoslavia and then Iraq (and Libya).
Putin is a nationalist and an intelligent man - reading Oliver Stone's interviews with him.
He is also very athletic and in top shape, exercises daily.
Russia has not been Communist for 30+ years -- hard liners in State Dept. have not noticed it yet.
PS: What does Pootty Poot mean?
Southern people in the US create names as terms of endearment for friends. Pooty-Poot-Poot (I forgot the last Poot) was Putin's term of endearment. Tennessee Williams showed this by using "Big Daddy" in his play "CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF" Pooty-Poot-Poot is the sound of gas leaving your anus. This comes from a man that could look into Putin's eyes and see his soul.

Do you know that there are more political parties in Russia than in the US?
Do you know that people vote to approve or reject proposed changes?
Do you know that Fray Merkel served not too much less than Putin?
Do you know that it was the Kiev junta that was killing Ukrainian citizens?
Do you know that the US is just one party away from a single party dictatorship?
I stand corrected, Thank you
No, thank you, my friend for being open minded and honest. 😍
agree

PLEASE PROVIDE TRANSCRIPTS OF CALLIN SESSIONS!!!
Why exactly should he spend his precious time for that? And -- why in all capital letters === hollering! Any other requests?
Yes. Make me a sandwich.
Because I want to inform myself about them and I don’t do podcasts. Caps bc I have been asking for a while and have had no reply or acknowledgement. Not suggesting he spend his precious time copying transcripts in longhand or calligraphy. There is software for that. More requests? Yes, more of his stuff, to be available via reading rather than hearing.
That is YOUR problem...entitled much? Have you used much voice to text software? Apparently not.
