4. I remember Gary Webb, CurveBall, Judith Miller, babies thrown out of incubators

Walter Pincus of the Washington Post so ridiculed Gary Webb's reporting that the CIA was helping import cocaine from the Central America, I concluded Pincus is a CIA asset. I have no more trust of the Washington Post now that it's owned by Jeff Bezos.

I don't trust Putin or Trump, or the CIA or the Washington Post or the New York Times. I don't want to be played by Putin or the CIA -- both are notorious for doing just that. People around here used to agree with my skepticism toward all of them.

I know that I have no idea what's going on here with this Russia hysteria. Far as I can tell, they are all lying, all for their own reasons.

If RT is the only network that will air Thom Hartmann, that's where I'll watch him. Thom is an intelligent, well-informed commentator and he says, and I believe him, that he has full editorial freedom on his show. Doesn't mean I agree with everything he says, or take his word as gospel.

I continue to respect the work done by Robert Parry and The Nation.

It does not give me warm fuzzies that American troops have now entered Poland. I don't know what's going on between the US and Russia, but I do know I don't want WWIII.

Scary times. So convenient to discredit 'the left' as Putin-lovers. An entire swath of opposition to Trump and the military industrial complex, swept off the board from 'respectable' discussion.
