Doctor Webster Tarpley and Abby Martin, the dream team of American political analysis and commentary! Like many others, I was hugely disappointed when the regular appearances of Doctor Tarpley on RT were reduced to the occasional moment of commentary (though RT's loss is Press TV's gain given he is regularly called upon by them to provide insight and analysis) though having Max and Stacy and Abby Martin on still makes RT essential viewing.

It would be great to see Dr Tarpley becoming once again a regular guest on RT and equally, on the Abby Martin show, I thought they worked really well together, maybe Abby should consider making Tarpley a regular guest on Breaking The Set as he is definitely one of the most astute, accurate and honest political commentators around.

l For whatever reason, Tarpley avoids the very well-documented trail of evidence that leads back to the alliance which the US and UK fascists who funded Hitler and who sabotaged the Nuremberg Tribunals made with the civilian leadership and secret service of the Third Reich, and which explains a lot of what shapes realpolitik today. Perhaps this is because he wishes to avoid alienating his friends in Germany around the Schiller Institute. But Germany is no longer the Nazi homeland: it's now the US and the US Congress is their Reichtag, so any hope from that quarter is parliamentary idiocy. OK OK....but this sort of stuff would be well known to the Establishments in Washington and London and Tel Aviv and to "our MEDIA" (like Murdoch and the Byzantine BBC Thought Police bureaucracy)....... and the EU Fourth Reich high command and their ringleaders in the CIA....and among the KGB in Moscow....since ISRAEL was made our de facto world superpower in 1948....and right up to this very day!We cannot question more than is freely made available to us to "know".....but if you have any conscience at all you must know yourselves that the so called 99% are no more free or able to question more or DO more in this Orwellian World where even RT and Private Eye are DISTRACTIONS fashioned to salve OUR consciences.  We only "question" what it pleases us to know.....and we only do that because POWER in all human societies is used by ALL of us to OBSCURE "unhelpful" "inconvenient" so called truth..... so that the powerful can feel "good" about themselves...while we unconsciously (?) ensure that if there is any blame or responsibility or discomfort or poverty to be "shared"............ ..it will always fall on OTHER`s shoulders!!Or we DID do that until the Jews misguidedly created fascist racist xenophobic Israel in the most objectively suicidal place on Earth......and the rest is Hollywood history and Wall Street Marx Brother`s FARCE!!!Will "we" survive Israel`s current far right government and the Zionist CIA/NATO empire`s crazy antics?  It`s pretty unlikely ...because the BBC/Fox/RT Thought Police are busy distracting us from the dangers we really face.........so we could be doomed unless we WAKE UP....and REALLY "question more" as ONE INDIVISIBLE MANKIND!

Yes...RT ..all very well and good...but just as "the British" and "our" BBC discovered many years ago....politics and religion AND their media outlets can only SERVE the powerful .....or find themselves corrupted or disappeared entirely....`twas ever thus!
We think the Internet may "free" this so called 99% of "victims" of the elitists and their various aristocracies......b ut ALL Mankind knows (at an unconscious level) that people like us "posters" on the web would become very anxious indeed if RT succeeded in "breaking our sets" or making the world democratic or "freeing" Mankind to roam in YOUR CIA/George Soros` borderless capitalistic globalised "open society"............ because WE would not have all the advantages that WE have now! 
Dressing up a few undeniably sexually attractive and  intelligent girls in tight dresses and having them strutting about your RT studios loudly declaring what any intelligent person in Britain could have told the world decades (if not centuries) ago.... will not truly "revolutionise" anything at all....unless by accident ! All they are really "exposing" is the shape of their bodies RT!

If you search your "consciences" at RT you will discover that you don`t WANT to "question more" or give instruction on "why we should care" if it challenges or exposes the elephants in YOUR room and the skeletons in Wall Street/Israel`s CIA cupboard.
Britain is screwed because the Gerald Nabarro/Lord Rothschild  JEWS and Catholics and Islamists and totalitarian Chinese "Communists" and Russian Oligarchs ....et al.... run the entire irredeemably  corrupt dishonest WORLD to some degree or another!  
It never was more complicated than that ....IF you really and truly WANT to "question more"........but you and I don`t really WANT to disturb the status quo ante in OUR situation worsens...... and what WE have NOW evaporates altogether!
