Occassionally that practice is subverted to a higher purpose. In this case, the connections between the independent media. N.S. Baldwin is a journalist, and a good one. She is now editor of her site, Understanding Russia, wherein she republishes thoughtful publications. Thus, here I link to her, rather than directly to Consortium News to highlight these interconnections.The End Of The Avdeevka Cauldron, b., Moon Of Alabama, 2024-02-16Listening To What He Is Saying, b., Moon Of Alabama, 2024-02-16* with particular reference to one of b.'s references, “LISTEN TO WHAT HE’S SAYING”, Patrick Armstrong, Russia Observer (Patrick's website), 2023-12-30GeopoliticsA Word like Peace Is Faster Than the Bullet of War: The Seventh Newsletter (2024), Vijay Prashad, TISR, 2024-02-15Death of Aleksei Navalny: the Brits did it!, Gilbert Doctorow, Armageddon Newsletter, 2024-02-16Defusing the Derivatives Time Bomb: Some Proposed Solutions, Ellen Brown, ScheerPost, 2024-02-14AssangeAustralian PM Albanese and 85 Other MPs Vote to End Assange Incarceration, Diego Ramos, ScheerPost, 2024-02-15* Includes transcript (Hansard) of the motion in parliament.
