U.S. to Borrow/Print More Than Entire Cost of War This Year
USA Today says the federal budget deficit for fiscal year 2009 will be approximately 490,000,000,000 dollars. That's more than twice what the wars cost this year (though still less than the entire annual cost of the hard and software of empire). Now tell me again how...

12/11/20 Aaron Maté on the OPCW’s Hero Whistleblowers
Aaron Maté is back with yet another update on the cover-up of the investigation into the supposed chemical attack in Douma, Syria. An initial investigation by the OPCW appeared to verify that the 2018 attack was indeed a chlorine gas attack, which must have been carried out by the Syrian government. This report justified the retaliatory American bombing of Syrian government targets. But it quickly emerged, thanks to whistleblowers within the OPCW, that the official report contradicted the actual findings of the investigators on several key points. These whistleblowers were immediately smeared as discredited and disgruntled former employees, but as time goes on, that narrative becomes less and less tenable. The latest leaks, explains Maté, show conclusively that members of the OPCW were very concerned at the time about the fact that the report may have been compromised, and praised the whistleblowers for trying to tell the real story.
Discussed on the show:
- “OPCW executives praised whistleblower and criticized Syria cover-up, leaks reveal” (The Grayzone)
- “Russiagate Archives” (The Grayzone)
