The US State Department & Independent Media ft. Joanne Leon Ep. 163

by | Apr 18, 2021

[163]]

I joined forces with Joanne Leon of the “Around the Empire Podcast” to discuss the US State Department’s influence on the independent media. We also discuss the West’s narrative against China and Russia, nuance in foreign policy positions, the difficulty in discovering the Truth, my latest article at the Libertarian Institute, and many more foreign policy topics.
