Ray on RT America TV’s “Hawk’s Nest”

4th Estate Dead; but 5th Estate coming into its own – so there’s hope; US-Russia-Crimea; Russian “hacking;” cyber warfare; how we, and particularly young people, can help put our Constitution back together (8 minutes).

Inimitable friend and fellow Bronxite Danny Schechter, the News Dissector, now dissecting the news from a different perch, informing/challenging new Powers-That-Be.

For those who know Danny, the customary “REST in Peace” will sound odd – and unworkable. Danny, we miss you; give ‘em hell up there with Nelson and others who – like you – pursued Justice fearlessly and whom you brought to life for the rest of us!

Below is a link to an unusually informative “obit,” followed by links to two articles Danny published early last year in Consortiumnews.com:

​CIA Director Brennan’s Restructuring Plan: How to Make Things Even Worse

Ray explains why, as soon as Brennan provided some detail on what he has in mind, Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) reacted as quickly – and as strongly – as they did on March 9 (see: https://consortiumnews.com/2015/03/09/us-intel-vets-oppose-brennans-cia-plan/.)

In this March 11 interview with Scott Horton of antiwar.com, Ray also touches on Germany’s opposition to strong pressure in U.S. to give arms to Ukraine and prospects for the current ceasefire. (18 minutes total: try min. 0.45 to 9:40; then 10:40 to 21:00, if you’re allergic to commercials)
