jamie said:Yes - heaven forbid members of the "intelligence community" speak about Russia.We need more voices of reason - like Sputnik News.How many of them are conspiracy theorists? Right, the same people who disposed the Democratically elected leader of Iran and put the Shah back in power so US corporations could get the oil. The same people who interfered in 81 elections. The same people who worked with Nazis during World War II and saved them from the trials at Nuremberg. The same people who told Martin Luther King, Jr. to kill himself. The same people who ordered the head bashing of people at Occupy Wall Street. The same people who overthrew Ukraine and blamed it on Putin (not presented that way in the film--that's for sure). Yeah, heaven forbid we don't take them at their word.They make sure to warn us about RT (and presumably Sputnik News), as though that were a grave threat. They tell you what to believe and try to make you afraid. This film assumes that the US is just good and plays by the rules and would never use "Active Measures" of their own. It's basically a lie, with some facts about Trump's shady business deals thrown in by Craig Unger. But, it is hard to pick out the facts cause there are so many lies and misrepresentation. And so many oligarchs- more than the orcs in Lord of the Rings. Some of the people, like Jonathan Winer, go on and on about Putin and oligarchs and never reveal how they work for oligarchs too. He's the guy who works for Khordorkovsky and wrote the letters to get the anti-Browder film banned and the book taken off Amazon. He's a walking, breathing "Active Measure."Just one example of what you see a lot of in this movie: people projecting their own questionable views and actions on to Putin. They are talking about him, but the thing they are talking about can also apply to them. Putin may be horrible, but no worse than them.And now I have go back and watch the rest of the movie. Maybe the second half is better? . . .So, Jamie - Have you started watching Stone's Ukraine on Fire, yet?

Maybe you might want to watch that Oliver Stone movie, Ukraine on Fire, now. Maybe you will start to understand why I said the nefarious John McCain associated with Nazis. Cause what goes around comes around and the atrocity we created over there is now coming here. Or maybe you will just continue to think Robert Muller has a report on the most evil doings in the universe.
