In this episode, Greg McCarron & Jeremy Rothe-Kushel discuss a couple of recent stories as well as segments from Russian state controlled Sputnik Radio. We begin by discussing the death of former Secretary of State Colin Powell and an interview with Scott Ritter on Sputnik about Powell. Jeremy then reads a very interesting book excerpt detailing a largely unknown aspect of Ritter's background as a United Nations Weapons Inspector in Iraq in the 1990s. We also discuss a segment with a Sputnik guest named Daniel Lazare which attempts to dismiss the Russia investigation in general, and Christopher Steele's work in particular, as fictional and not at all rooted in reality. We talk about the lack of truth coming from Russian centric media and activism circles regarding events such as September 11th and the realities of the post 9/11 'Global War on Terror.'

"Kiriakou says that when he joined Sputnik, Gavasheli only asked for one favor: to steer clear of 9/11 “truthers.” An editor at sister-network Russia Today was recently fired for featuring too many of this particular brand of conspiracy theorists. Gavasheli apparently wanted to avoid the same fate."
