Julian Assange’s Persecuted Heroism
by Ron Paul | Sep 22, 2020 | Featured Articles

by Scott Horton | Sep 21, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show
Gareth Porter discusses the slow death of the "Russiagate" narrative, which has been allowed to live on mainly because of deliberate obfuscation by democrats and the mainstream media. Rarely do they lie outright about the facts, says Porter—instead they will...
