Before We Begin
First, thanks to Sasha Latypova and Katherine Watt. (Do check the presser and their credentials.)
Breaking
What's the state of the planet otherwise?
The current US administration at 1600 is increasingly bombarded with disclosures of TS/SCI documents turning up everywhere. The MSM on the one side want to pooh-pooh it all, whilst Tucker Carlson, one of many, has gone public with the idea that the people really running things have decided the current White House occupants have to leave.
New Speaker McCarthy, bound by concessions he had to make in order to secure the vote, shows signs of an assertiveness unexpected by some.
Fentanyl continues to pour in over the US southern border. The state of Arizona is assessed to be run by the Mexican cartels. Arizona governor - for now - Katie Hobbs doesn't seem to care, but on the other hand has allegedly signed an EO enforcing pronouns.
In the world at large, people still wait anxiously for the Russian offensive. Russia's amassed an army of half a million not far from the Ukraine border, even as tuberculosis spreads throughout the rogue country and NATO can't come up with anything more when scraping the bottom of the barrel. Here’s an assortment of video clips from various sources, with Alex and Alexander, Jeffrey Sachs, Scott Ritter, and Doug Macgregor.
The Duran
Greeks Alex and Alexander run this channel. Alexander used to be a high-profile London barrister. Alex prefers balmy climes, based in Greece.
This clip's about what everyone's talking about - when they're talking.
Fake Hysteria
Hot off the presses: Alex and Alexander's take on Garage Gate. Alex voices a suggestion by Larry Johnson that the people behind the curtains are playing the current 1600 resident as scapegoat for Afghanistan, the Ukraine, etc.
They also report on the reaction of European media (which may be an indicator of how far-reaching Garage Gate will be).
Also, a summary of the latest Twitter Files dump - "there were no Russian bots!"
Alex condemns Jack Dorsey.
"Once upon a time, big corporations in the United States were led by serious people.”
FINANCE MAIL?
The YouTube channel “FINANCE MAIL” has over 5 million views yet only 25,000 subscribers.

Frankly, we know no one who has a clue who those people are. Their clips seem to be copies of audio feeds from other channels with random video footage atop and thumbnails with text in yellow and red, and we recognise some of the voices, such as Clayton Morris, yet we don't see any attribution.
The voices of Scott and Doug are however immediately recognisable.
There's a lot of material here. Here are a few of the most recent clips. Together they can give you a better nuanced picture of what's going on in that volatile country.
These clips are presented in descending chronological order. And note that the video has very little to do with the audio in these clips. But they can still be noteworthy.
Jeffrey Sachs, Doug Macgregor, Scott Ritter: but three of the most prominent speakers on this channel.

Doug's up first. This hasn't even premiered at time of writing, so try pot luck.
The first comment says:
"Today here in Russia in a number of telegram channels there was information that in the coming days Russia could launch a full-scale offensive."
Yes, the idea is that they’ll start moving once the ground is frozen solid.
Then Scott Ritter - and he's very upset.
Jeffrey Sachs takes an approach the others may call naïve.
$100/Night?
John Lennon famously holed up at the Queen E in Montreal and asked people to give peace a chance. Research shows that, aside from room service, Beatle John may have been paying a standard $100 (or $200) per night, this at one of Canada's most prestigious hotels.
Other musical artists have decried war over the years.
Jackson Browne.
Patricia Mae was reportedly busy having babies when she recorded this, so no promotion. Hubby Neil takes care of production and screaming guitar.
On his many university speaking tours, Professor Michael Parenti stressed how people should not think war isn't profitable, no matter what their MSM may try to tell them. The money merely switches hands, he'd point out. And he'd likewise point out that the people in his audience were not to blame for the atrocities committed on the part of their governments.
