The facts, not Blumenthal’s strong point: there was not embezzlement, there was no fraud. I support all journalists who conduct thorough, evidence-based investigations. In addition to facts, these same journalists share a common value: decency. This is low.
The widow of White Helmets founder & war profiteer James Le Mesurier - who was facing scrutiny over the embezzlement of millions in taxpayer dollars when he jumped off a balcony - is also demanding that journalists cover these corruption scandals up rather than report on them.

A key indicator of whether an academic at a legit institution has gone beyond the scope of their expertise/is using their credibility for nefarious purposes is their appearance on RT.
An MIT Physics prof who is a climate change denier. A Stanford prof publishing an erroneous COVID19 meta-analysis. Now a Nobel Prize winner defending the use of Ivermectin.
We need to get rid of our obsession with titles and awards, and the myth of a lone scientific hero.

“Election monitors” are complicit in the conscription of Ukrainians to kill Ukrainians or be killed themselves. This merits more than sanctions. Propagandists are an essential part of a military campaign and should be prosecuted as war criminals.

Another famous travel blogger visited Damascus and thus promoting the “sense of security” that is very important for the Assad’s regime image. For example, we are being told that “80% of the country is safe to travel”. At the very same day he posted this, civilians were bombed.
