(Comparisons can be invidious; they can also be instructive. Click on the link immediately above and compare Putin’s marathon but-relaxed interview with similar performances by top U.S. officials before our mainstream presstitutes. You owe it to yourself to sample some of it.) Also, when Scott called Ray, the U.S.-Russia-EU-Ukraine agreement in Geneva on Ukraine had just been announced.

Ray spoke on cellphone from a bench on windy Duke of Gloucester Street in Williamsburg, VA. Interview goes until minute 32:30, with a minute out for commercials at minute 11 to 12.

The Failed Pretext For War: Seymour Hersh, Eliot Higgins, MIT Rocket Scientists On Sarin Gas Attack in Syria, April 15, 2014

The U.S. almost-attack on Syria last September and John Kerry’s estranged relationship with the truth:

As usual, the devil (aka the “Father of Lies”) is in the detail, but these damning revelations have been totally censored out of the “mainstream [corporate] media.”

Together with Mike German (ex-FBI), Julia Angwin (ProPublica), David Pozen (Columbia Law professor), Ray took part in a March 11 panel on “Whistleblowers: Dissenters, Advocates, Criminals, or Loyalists?”

The panel discussion was co-sponsored by the Center on National Security at Fordham Law and PEN American Center, with Suzanne Nossel of PEN moderating. Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein provided fresh grist for the discussion earlier that day in a major speech sharply criticizing the CIA. Ray’s sort-of-prepared remarks go from minute 9:00 to minute 20:30. The Q&As begin at minute 50:30.
