JEFF J. BROWN—With mentorship and inspiration like that, it was not a big jump for Kovrig to become International Crisis Group’s (ICG) top dog in Northeast Asia, meaning China and North Korea, starting in 2017.
ICG is not just another humdrum NGO. Founded in 1995 with money from George Soros and his color revolution cookie cutter, Open Society, ICG has been at the forefront of Western backed subversion and sabotage across the planet. Its ongoing funding is like a who’s who of the CIA’s storefront National Endowment for Democracy (NED): Carnegie, Koch, Ford, Luce, MacArthur and Rockefeller, among others, pumping millions of dollars annually into its many misdeeds.

Jimmy Dore exposes the appalling corruption of Big Pharma and the drug regulatory establishment—MUST WATCH
12 minutes readIt’s called “regulatory capture,” and even cynics would be shocked at the level of corruption running rampant at the United States Food and Drug Administration. Did you know that Big Pharma funds 75% of the drug approval research that goes on at the FDA, and in return for those hundreds of millions of dollars can get “expedited” service? And the revolving door between the FDA and large pharmaceutical concerns spins like an out-of-control merry-go-round. It all adds up to a regulatory system built to benefit Big Pharma at major cost to everyday Americans – both in terms of taxes and healthcare outcomes. Jimmy and comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this incredibly corrupt relationship between the FDA and Big Pharma.

MIKE MADDEN—NATO and U.S. officials said regular units of the Russian military crossed a few kilometers into Ukrainian territory on August 2014, which Russia denied, when the separatist forces had been pushed eastward toward the Russian border and hundreds of civilians had been killed. On Aug. 25, 2014, 10 Russian paratroopers were captured 20 km inside the Ukrainian border.
Nuland called this “Russia’s invasion of eastern Ukraine.” The incursion would be more properly characterized as Russia exercising the liberal interventionists’ favorite Responsibility to Protect doctrine.
As happened in Georgia in 2008, a government militarily attacked its own people and Russia intervened to drive the military forces back and protect the local population. In that 2008 case, a European Union investigation determined that Georgia, not Russia, was the aggressor.
