What fun to go down Memory Lane with these great, CREDIBLE Duran folks. Like Consortium News consortiumnews.com/2025/07/24/wat, they saw through the drivel on Russian hacking. And now they ask the right questions and give me time to answer. Enjoy.
Heinousness Squared
Malnourished on Accurate Information
Russia-gate: Can You Handle the Truth? I gave this talk 7 yrs ago in Seattle. It turned out that the audience, progressive but malnourished on accurate information, could not handle it. “Cameos” by Adam Schiff & Devon Nunes. It was not hard to get it right.
Newly Released Documents Vindicate VIPS Reporting on Russiagate
Tulsi Gabbard’s released documents show crimes by Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Comey in 2016-17: Deep State/Media/Democrat plotting against Trump. DOCUMENTS. VIPS did gutsy contemporaneous reporting as Russiagate evolved; were ostracized. Binney & I reminisce.
Getting Fired for Doing Real Journalism
Eight years ago today VIPS Memo #50 asked: Was the “Russian Hack” an Inside Job? Dem-leaning The Nation had a conniption, fired veteran columnist Patrick Lawrence for telling this neuralgic story. We were sternly warned NEVER EVER to utter words Seth Rich

Read, Weep, Act
There is only us; there never has been any other (Annie Dillard). WE are the ones we’ve been waiting for. With genocide in Gaza & West Bank, we must not ape sheepish Germans of the 30’s when both Catholic & Lutheran Churches caved. Read, weep, pls THEN ACT

Fixed Intelligence is Not Intelligence
Released House Intel Committee report shows CIA’s Brennan & FBI’s Comey “fixed the intelligence” on Russiagate, just as Brennan’s patron former CIA chief Tenet did to “justify” Iraq. Michael van Landingham admits drafting the “fixed” Intel Community Assmt.

Old CIA Pals on with Nima
Graham Fuller and I entered CIA in 1963. He became Vice-Chair of the National Intelligence Council, an intel community role equivalent to deputy to DNI Tulsi Gabbard today. I briefed The President’s Daily Brief for Nixon, Ford, Reagan. We were w/Nima today
