An especially good episode of Christofouru’s podcast.

Realistically cynical takes with regard to the Ukrainian adventure, the possibility of war with Iran, and the chances that Old Joe will free Julian Assange by way of throwing a bone to the same youngish and leftish types in the electorate that hate him over the genocide.

His friend and colleague Alexander Mercouris also puts out a show daily, typically twice the length and less easy to listen to (he’s a rambler and a bit of a repeater). Today he made the point that the tail called Israel and the wagged dog that sponsors it have been desperately trying to provoke Iran into doing something stupid (most recently by a terrorist bombing of its consulate in a whole third country), and that since Iran continues to live virtually unprovoked even so, the Israelis might soon attack Iran directly, out of some evil form of frustration.

All of the links above go to the versions on Rumble, rather than YouTube, but to the best of my recollection all of them except the last one are also still available on YT. I would just rather do the bulk of my viewing on not-YouTube, when and where I can.

Keeping up with all these shows leaves me vulnerable to accusations of being one of those witless old people that spends all day listening to propaganda of the MSNBC or Fox kind.

If you are inclined to thus accuse, well, be my guest. And I will be yours, in the matter of continuing to do what I do without living in fear of being such a stereotype.

I do walk, you know. And I’m rabidly keto, and a content creator as well as consumer … I’ll be me. You be you. And not much of it will matter in the end anyway.
