I'll be on The Young Turks with @cenkuygur tonight at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT LIVE to discuss our Poetica case, in which we're defending the owner against DOJ's frivolous discrimination investigation clearly aimed at silencing his criticism of Israel and Representative Dan Goldman.

The war in Ukraine was clearly provoked (and even started) by NATO.
Glenn Diesen@Glenn_Diesen
The NATO-backed coup in Ukraine was on February 22, 2014. In the article below, the New York Times confirms that two days later, on February 24, the new Ukrainian intelligence chief of the government that the US had handpicked, called the CIA and MI6 to establish a partnership against Russia. Only a few days earlier, Russia had been the main security partner of Ukraine - after the coup, it would become NATO's frontline state against Russia. The CIA operation against Russia developed from 2014-2022: - "12 newly-built, forward operating bases constructed along the Russian border. From each base, General Kondratiuk said, the Ukrainian officers ran networks of agents who gathered intelligence inside Russia. C.I.A. officers installed equipment at the bases to help gather intelligence and also identified some of the most skilled Ukrainian graduates of the Operation Goldfish program, working with them to approach potential Russian sources." - "The listening post in the Ukrainian forest is part of a C.I.A.-supported network of spy bases constructed in the past eight years that includes 12 secret locations along the Russian border... Around 2016, the C.I.A. began training an elite Ukrainian commando force — known as Unit 2245 — which captured Russian drones and communications gear so that C.I.A. technicians could reverse-engineer them and crack Moscow’s encryption systems. The CIA/MI6 presence in Ukraine became a key motivation for the Russian invasion: - "Toward the end of 2021, according to a senior European official, Mr. Putin was weighing whether to launch his full-scale invasion when he met with the head of one of Russia’s main spy services, who told him that the C.I.A., together with Britain’s MI6, were controlling Ukraine and turning it into a beachhead for operations against Moscow." *** The war in Ukraine was clearly provoked (and even started) by NATO. The amount of evidence makes this undeniable. However, the political-media establishment defends the "unprovoked invasion" narrative by dismissing and criminalising all explanations of NATO's involvement as efforts to "legitimise" the Russian invasion. Why is NATO's contribution to starting this war important? If we recognise NATO's contribution and the legitimate Russian security concerns, then it opens up an opportunity for compromise and peace. By clinging to the "unprovoked invasion" narrative, weapons are the path to peace, and NATO gets to continue its war against Russia to the last Ukrainian. nytimes.com/2024/02/25/wor…

The @adc has filed a lawsuit on my behalf against DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin over the seizure of my phones upon my return from reporting in Iran
It is clear to me I was targeted because of my journalism - for exposing US-Israeli atrocities and expressing views that upset the Zionist forces dictating Trump’s Middle East policy
I’m also certain this unconstitutional act of intimidation was driven by Israeli-backed hooligans close to the Trump admin who demanded my persecution on baseless grounds as soon as I arrived to report in Iran

As punishment for my factual journalism, I was subjected to political harassment by the Trump administration upon my return from Iran.
This Israeli-influenced criminal cartel is clearly threatened by my reporting from Tehran, where I showed the massive crowds of mourners and ferocious public backlash to the assassination of [Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei, exposed US and Israeli war crimes against civilians from the ground, and conducted candid interviews with officials, negotiators and influential Iranians.
The seizure of my devices was a clear act of intimidation aimed at deterring me and others from doing further critical reporting from Iran, which is likely why my interrogators from CPB demanded to know if I would be returning to Tehran to report any time soon.

When did the west stop even considering diplomacy? Is it capable of learning it again? Or will it be schooled into submission?
