And hear it. We have t...nivekvb, some do notice it. And hear it. We have the luxury of being able to listen to Russian analyst Stephen Cohen every Tuesday night on WABC-AM RADIO on the John Batchelor Show for an hour. Erudite, plain-speaking, no bullshit, always discusses what just happened that week, compelling. http://johnbatchelorshow.com Cabbies and evening shift worker-bees can hear him too.<br /><br />You might be able to get it in London (6-hour time diff I think so it would be around 3 AM your time, if live). You can, at least, listen to the podcasts after the fact. NB: I find Batchelor's site difficult to navigate to get the right podcast, but bear with it.<br /><br />Cohen dispels the Putin bullshit we hear in the news with fresh insight. Cohen is around 75 years old now. Unlike those ‘reporting’ the so-called news, this guy speaks Russian, has taught Russian history and international relations at Princeton and NYU, has lived in Russia for stretches at a time, and goes there currently once a year at least. Cohen has been on WABC every Tuesday night for three years. According to Neilsen, John Batchelor’s ratings have “gone through the roof” as a result.<br /><br />I don’t miss them. [Ditto joe Bastardi’s free Saturday Weather Summaries (forecasts) on weatherbell.com. Been listening to them for almost three years, and he has *rarely* been wrong with his forecasts that extend six-nine months out. Learned a shitload about meteorology. weatherbell.com is a fee-based service for companies and local govts that rely upon accurate future weather reports to plan energy and emergency services and needs. Bastardi co-founded Accuweather in the 80s, I think, or was it The Weather Channel?]<br /><br />MRWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13878920695841363553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-38639864851797780632016-04-04T05:21:49.003-04:002016-04-04T05:21:49.003-04:00Western propaganda is absolute. Paul Craig Roberts...Western propaganda is absolute. Paul Craig Roberts is right, we live in the matrix. Were don't notice it because we are brought to with it all our lives. All good and effective propaganda has some truth to it. <br />Kaiveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04195639305785321786noreply@blogger.com
