Protests, no matter how “random” Rachel Maddow may claim, are growing across the world, demanding peace, not backing down in the face of increasingly intense propaganda. Glenn Diesen, professor at the University of Southeastern Norway and author of the book Russophobia: Propaganda in International Politics, joins Useful Idiots to report on the largely-uncovered peace protests and explain what's actually going on in Ukraine. “This is what we're doing,” he says. “We're shipping weapons in, we're sabotaging all the peace agreements, and we're accusing China of doing what we're doing. I think it's called projection.” The Chinese, if you ask the New York Times' Thomas Friedman or MSNBC's Chuck Todd, are prolonging the war to destroy the West. The truth, Diesen explains, is that China is the only country with a peace plan. “I think that China is the best actor at the moment to rally the whole world and push for negotiations because the West can't. We're part of this conflict. We're sending the weapons. We're giving the intelligence. We're celebrating every time we see a dead Russian general.” Listen to the full interview, where Diesen explains why the Chinese peace plan is the most practical path to peace and who he believes blew up the Nord Stream pipeline.

Get extended interviews, Thursday Throwdowns, and a chance to have your comment read on the show in the Absurd Arena at http://usefulidiots.substack.com Or find us on Locals at http://usefulidiots.locals.com Click here for the full interview with Professor Joshua Landis: https://open.substack.com/pub/usefulidiots/p/us-sanctions-block-aid-to-earthquake?r=je5va&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web “Sanctions are a form of war. They're economic warfare. And they destroy people's lives.” Joshua Landis (https://twitter.com/joshua_landis), Sandra Mackey Chair in Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma, is one of the foremost experts on Syria. This week, as Syria, along with neighbor Turkiye, grapples with the aftermath of the devastating earthquake, Professor Landis joins the Useful Idiots to explain the deadly consequences that sanctions pile on to the damage. “America likes to talk about all its precision bombing and hitting someone with a drone to avoid collateral damage,” Landis explains. “But sanctions? It's all about collateral damage. Very little of it is targeted.” But if you read corporate media outlets like the New York Times or Washington Post, you'd find a much different story. Both papers this week published headlines that were hastily changed when they realized they were being a little too truthful. See if you can tell the difference: (In case you missed it, they changed it from “Syria is not able to receive direct aid from many countries because of sanctions” to “The Syrian government tightly controls what aid it allows into opposition held areas.”) When the Times accidentally tells the truth, they can always be trusted to fix their mistake. WaPo's original opinion headline Their fixed headline, hours later The original WaPo headline implored “Don't lift sanctions of Syra to help earthquake victims.” But when they realized they were saying the quiet part too loud, they made a quick change to “Lifting sanctions on Syria won't help earthquake victims.” Good catch. Professor Landis knows that sanctions are exacerbating the death toll in Syria, as indicated by both original headlines. Watch the full episode to hear him explain the history of sanctions, why the poor bear the worst of their destruction, and how to help. Plus, catch this week's Thursday Throwdown where Seymour Hersh reveals how Lyin' Biden blew up the Nord Stream pipeline and Katie explains why Joe Rogan's antisemitic defense of Ilhan Omar's non-antisemitic statements was so unhelpful.

Gerth and Taibbi, who come from the old style of journalism where you fact check your work and don't accept government officials' claims on faith, have each shown clear, indisputable evidence of disinformation campaigns pushed by corporate reporters. And since the so-called journalists can't argue the facts, they dig themselves a deeper hole with more lies and name-calling. Jeff Gerth has been working as a reporter for decades and published, in the very mainstream Columbia Journalism Review, a 20,000-word report on his findings, only to be called a liar and misdirecting magician in the most self-important article by Mother Jones' David Corn (“The true media failure is that Trump got away with it and that articles like this one that you are now reading are still necessary.”) And possibly worse than that is the near complete silence from the rest of mainstream media who, as Gerth reported, refused to follow Bob Woodward's pleas for introspection. They're not silent, however, about Matt Taibbi. These corporate stenographers, either angry that Taibbi called them out for lying or jealous that they didn't get the Twitter Files story themselves, haven't made any substantive arguments against his findings both because they can't, but also because they know they don't need to. Their audiences are trained to believe them. There are, however, two people who suggested one substantive criticism of the Twitter Files. Funny enough, they're two of the real journalists who have been defending Taibbi's work: Briahna Joy Gray and Glenn Greenwald. Their question: if Musk and Twitter are the guardians of this information, how can you be sure you aren't being manipulated by the possibility that they are handpicking what they want you to see? Watch the extended episode to hear Taibbi's response, plus Matt unveils never-before-shared info on the Twitter Files. It's a Useful Idiots exclusive.

But we also learned from you that 2023 is a year of wellness, a time to fight back and build a boat to sail atop those waves. You shared your tips for feeling good each day, and we promised an expert to teach us how to feel like humans again. Darcia Narvaez is a professor of psychology emerita at the University of Notre Dame. She joins the Useful Idiots to explain how we're living in a culture that goes against everything it means to be human, emphasizing toughness over tenderness, isolation over togetherness, making the US the most depressed, anxious, and chronically ill country in the world. “We're stuck in a cycle of competitive detachment, where we feel disconnected from others and even ourselves, while at the same time feeling we have to compete for anything worthwhile.” But Professor Narvaez has hope: we can break the cycle. “There are still societies around the world though that resist this hierarchicalism and think it's immoral,” she explains. “We have a lot to learn from them because they successfully live in egalitarian and healthy, happy ways. Unlike us.” Watch the full episode to learn how other cultures and species are able to live rewarding, fulfilling lives, why learning and school is actually one of the biggest detriments to humanity, and everyday, practical tips to help you break your own cycle. Plus, catch this week's Thursday Throwdown on the other way we might break the cycle: nuclear Armageddon. It's all this, and more, on this week's episode of Useful Idiots. Check it out.

Except, of course, John Kiriakou. John became the sixth whistleblower indicted by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act. He served 23 months in prison as punishment for his opposition to the Bush administration's torture program. This week, he joins Useful Idiots to speak (freely this time) about the torture and war crimes of the US Government, the sickening purpose of Guantanamo Bay and its continuing crimes against humanity, and the hardest question of all: Who's worse – The CIA or the FBI? Don't worry, John's got a lot of dirt on each. It's one of the most jarring, sickening, revealing, scary, and funny episodes of Useful Idiots, which is why you're probably going to want to watch… …the extended interview, in which Kiriakou uncovers the CIA's sadistic psychedelics testing, the hawks in the mainstream media who are gunning for war with China, and his last words spoken to Keith Olbermann and Alec Baldwin: “Fuck you, Olbermann.” and “Fuck you, Baldwin.” And don't miss this week's Thursday Throwdown on Hollywood's New "It" Couple: Volodymyr Seanpenskyy.

And, like many Useful Idiot guests, no one will report on his story. This week, Katchanovski shares his research on the Maidan Massacre, a mass killing of Ukrainians protesting the Yanukovich government in February 2014. The US and opposition leaders blamed Yanukovich, triggered a coup and the ensuing civil war that radically escalated with Russia's invasion eight years later. But when Professor Katchanovski dug into video, witness testimony, and other evidence which reveals who really committed the massacre — including footage that CNN tried to bury — he was ignored by mainstream media for attempted disruption of the approved narrative. But now he's joining the Useful Idiots to tell us what really happened: the massacre, he argues, was carried out by pro-Maidan snipers. Watch the full interview with Professor Katchanovski for his take on who committed the massacre, how the US media is covering it up, and that weird interview between David Letterman and Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “We did a survey,” Zelenskyy told Letterman. “It showed that 98% of our country's population today would rather stay without electricity and water as long as they are free from Russia.” Ivan responds to that seemingly impossible statistic.

Ukraine has been at civil war since 2014, when the US backed a coup to overthrow President Viktor Yanukovych. When the new post-coup government cracked down on ethnic-Russian Ukrainians and their Russian culture, Ukrainians in the eastern Donbas region rose up in rebellion, leading to the creation of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. Anna Soroka, joining the Useful Idiots from Ukraine, is the former Deputy Foreign Minister of the Luhansk People's Republic. She joins Useful Idiots to share what it's like being on the other side of a civil war that has now escalated into a full-blown proxy war with Russia. Sometimes discussions about war can become abstract, but it's important to go “behind enemy lines” and hear from real people on the other side. It's a perspective that you don't get to hear at all in the NATO states. Unless you follow shows like Useful Idiots.

Get extended interviews, Thursday Throwdowns, and a chance to have your comment read on the show in the Absurd Arena at http://usefulidiots.substack.com Click here for the full interview: https://open.substack.com/pub/usefulidiots/p/extended-episode-inside-the-ukraine?r=je5va&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Journalist Kit Klarenberg's latest article at the Grayzone, “FTX partnership with Ukraine is latest chapter in shady Western aid saga,” sheds new light on the money-grabbing schemes emerging from the Ukraine proxy war. The report details how Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX, the crypto exchange that saw its valuation implode from $32B to $0 in a single day, used a Ukraine fundraiser to raise $60 million from donors. This was followed by the mass selloff of FTX currency and a declaration of bankruptcy from the scam company. This raises the question: where did the money for Ukraine go? Kit Klarenberg joins the Useful Idiots with the scoop. He, along with his fellow Grayzone writers, has been the subject of multiple attacks for uncovering stories like this and his other new piece: “Leaked documents: British spies constructing secret terror army in Ukraine.” It seems that when government officials and the corporate media don't want the truth uncovered, they don't argue against the story but make personal attacks against the writer as character assassination. And sadly, it works all too often. One such corporate official, Useful-Idiot-favorite of Scary Poppins fame Nina Jankowicz, went after Klarenberg on Twitter. Kit describes the online beef in the extended episode. (turns out we can't see those tweets because…) Subscribe to hear the full interview, where Klarenberg reveals plots from UK operatives to blow up Ukrainian bridges, more Western destruction of peace talks, and how the US uses Britain to spread propaganda.

The boys gave their sure thing, most at stake and doomsday scenario

My last Thursday Throwdown of the season. This ones a gooder. I leave you with a piece of advice you definitely needed to hear today.

Here’s the short version of my advice on how to date during a pandemic.

It doesn’t have to be the same if you don’t let it. Did you change?

In this quick episode, I share why I named this podcast Love Isn’t Cancelled and why you need to understand why it’s so important in your life.

Do the thing you’ve been thinking of doing. Take action. You don’t anything but everything you already have to do it.

I believe you are worthy of much more than you tell yourself. I believe you can have anything you want. It’s not about an either/or, I believe it’s an and.

Hey y'all come on in have a seat and let's throw back some conversation about the latest current events!!!

Why forcing something to happen isn’t good for you.

Break down the wall of everything standing in the way of getting what you want.

People aren’t too busy. The actions show who someone really is. Don’t ignore the signs. Sometimes the silence says all you need to hear.

This is Mack Lino's live set from his bi-weekly stream party called “Thursday Throwdown” on Slinky Family Stream Show on September 17, 2020 by JAM On It Productions. Enjoy this set and share it!
