JIMMY DORE SHOW—A few weeks before Tucker Carlson was fired, Rupert Murdoch reportedly spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. It’s not clear what Zelensky said, but it’s been well established that the Ukrainian government objected to Carlson’s opposition to U.S. support for Ukraine in the war with Russia. Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Zelensky had an impact on the Fox News network’s decision to jettison Carlson.

CYNTHIA CHUNG—It is understandably the source of some confusion as to how a former high-level Trotskyist became the founder of the neo-conservative movement; with the Trotskyists calling him a traitor to his kind, and the neo-conservatives describing it as an almost road to Damascus conversion in ideology. However, the truth of the matter is that it is neither. That is, James Burnham never changed his beliefs and convictions at any point during his journey through Trotskyism, OSS/CIA intelligence to neo-conservatism, although he may have backstabbed many along the way.

ANDREI RAEVSKY—You might wonder why the “old guard” did nothing to stop that infection’s rot. And, in fact, some tried, I personally know of two think tank directors who tried, but they were betrayed by the Reagan Administration which seemed quite happy to have rabid Russophobic racists even in very high positions.

Simply put, the Neocons had A LOT of financial resources, much more than the paleo-conservatives, and they simply “bought their way in” into the US ruling elites.

SCOTT RITTER—Bandera and his murderous movement had been physically defeated by Soviet forces in the decade following the end of the Second World War. However, its ideology survived in a western Ukrainian diaspora formed from the survivors of that movement who found safe haven in West Germany (where Bandera himself settled until assassinated by the Soviet KGB in 1959); Canada (where Chrystia Freeland, the granddaughter of a former publisher of pro-Bandera propaganda, currently serves as deputy prime minister), and the United States (where the followers of Stepan Bandera have constructed a “heroes park” outside Ellenville, New York, including a bust of Bandera and other neo-Nazi Ukrainian ultra-nationalists.)

THIERRY MEYSSAN—Since Joe Biden returned to the White House, this time as President of the United States, the Straussians have been running the show. “Jake” Sullivan is National Security Advisor, while Antony Blinken is Secretary of State with Victoria Nuland at his side. As I have reported in previous articles, she went to Moscow in October 2021 and threatens to crush Russia’s economy if it ded not comply. This was the beginning of the current crisis.
