Thank you for sharing more details on this John. I always look forward to reading your next report, I relate to them so well.

I have great admiration for Ayman of MSNBC for his consistent passion and objectivity reporting on the Gaza genocide although he hasn't used that word. I tweeted this to him March 30 watching his show;

Disappointed with your political agenda on Evan Gershkovich lacking balance and Journalistic Integrity.

Israel targeted and killed over 100 Journalists since October 7, and the US had Julian Assange locked up since 2012 & wants him for violating the US Espionage Act

I tweeted this to these people thinking they have POWER in the corrupted POWER BUBBLE!

The Jewish Settlers terrorizing and killing West Bank Palestinians with impunity are the latest incarnation of Hitler's Brown Shirts!

Thank you, Ray, and yes, good point about Israel's brutality toward journalism. In Gaza, it seems that journalism is a crime, and the White House is fine with allowing Tel Aviv to dish out executions.

Ray, I thank you for posting your comment about John V.'s excellent investigative journalism. An honest man who writes a story clearly and in a compelling manner.

I share your outrage and disgust about Israel's murder of the innocents.

I have a question about one of the power-people in the corrpted power bubble: did you send your tweet to Rev. Franklin Graham? If so, what is his involvement in the power bubble? I am curious because I have respected him for boldly proclaiming the Gospel, but I have recently been dismayed by his support for rabid Israel. There are other evangelist notables that I had respected that now are completely ignoring the killing that Israel has been and is doing. These people say they are followers of Jesus Christ, but then they support the Israeli war crimes and genocide? No! Jesus is the OPPOSITE of Israel's behavior. Please can you--and also John V.--explain why these evangelicals are strident in their support for Israel?

I hear you on their hypocrisy. Someone in Texas told me that there's a preacher who has for decades been promoting the notion that Christians should give unconditional support to Israel, even when it commits genocide. I will never ever accept that position.

I think that preacher may be John Hagee.

Also, Mike Huckabee has been strongly pro-Israel on his weekend TV show on TBN. There is never any mention of the genocide Israel is commiting.

Corinne, I sent the tweet above to Franklin-Graham and the Pope. I expect there will be more references to this in the MSM in the next few weeks, "The Jewish Settlers terrorizing and killing West Bank Palestinians with impunity are the latest incarnation of Hitler's Brown Shirts!"

You forgot a critical point - EG is of Russian Jewish heritage like Pomerantsev and Steve Rosenberg

I don't think it's a critical point. Sure, some Russian-born Jews despise Russia, but I'm not sure that's an issue in the case of EG. (BTW: I've read that about 70% of Russian-Israelis supported Putin in the 2018 election; however, I'm not sure of the figure for the most recent election.)

This is a highly critical point indeed. Just like Victoria Nuland (Nudelman). Which makes things highly personal for these people.

I'm not going to condemn an entire group due to the actions of just some bad apples. At the end of the day, most people everywhere are decent; problems arise when they are lead astray by predatory elites with an agenda and hateful ideology. Sadly, most humans are susceptible to mass manipulation. We've seen it in Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, post-Maidan Ukraine and now Netanyahu's Israel. I wish I had a remedy for this situation, and indeed this Substack page is my small effort to try to help people to see through the mass media lies and manipulation.

I appreciate your noble sentiments however it is important to stress that these people pretend to either be american patriots (like Nuland) or Russian patriots (like Gary Kasparov) whereas in reality they’re a highly interrelated group of russophobes. This does not even mention that in the 90s, Russia was taken over by a gang of Jewish oligarchs who used local crime gangs to assert their authority. They were supported overseas by Jewish bankers like Edmond Safra, etc

I fully agree—my comment was about certain individuals, not an entire group. Thanks for the 70% Russian-Israelis data point.
