Who knows who he is really working for, himself, the Devil, or possibly even for his country? I would guess two out of three of those possibilities.</p> <p>Anyone who thinks that the U.S.A. by way of its political and economic leaders play, and have played in the past, a cleaner game versus Russia or for that matter, any other country, might be disillusioned or at least given some food for thought. Any judgment a listener will make of course depends largely on the credibility given to the interviewee. I know little about Mark Ames, mostly from Wikipedia, but I am a fan of the reporting of his onetime Russia reporting partner at “The Exile”, Matt Taibbi. Ames’ account has, to me, the ring of truth. What he says has a great bearing on the outrage over alleged interference by Putin or his regime in our recent election.</p> <p>I cannot get a proper link to post. The interview is at “The Empire Files” and is first out. Titled, “Post Soviet Russia, Made in the U.S.A.”.  </p> </div></div></div> Sat, 04 Feb 2017 16:13:28 +0000 A Guy Called LULU comment 233418 at http://dagblog.com
