RT CrossTalk host Peter Lavelle and The Duran’s Alex Christoforou discuss the second leg, of the round of Democrat debates in Detroit, hosted by CNN, which saw 2020 hopefuls take turns attacking Barack Obama's policies, as Joe Biden defended his VP record under the Obama White House. 

Tulsi Gabbard delivered a knock out blow to Kamala Harris, who was caught off guard trying to defend her prosecutorial record in California and her record on criminal justice reform, the death penalty, and the war on drugs during.



See video below: Apart from ending the trade war with China, and a bit on climate change, Tulsi is making a lot of sense. She at least sees the dangers that face the US economically and militarily (with the Russiagate hoax).

Kamala Harris DESTROYED, Democrats Are So DESPERATE They Call Tulsi A Russian Puppet. They have nothing to go on. Their policies are unpopular so what do they do? Flounder

But what happens when Tulsi Gabbard completely obliterates Kamala Harris in the Democratic Debate? RUSSIA

That's right, the go to defense they used against Trump is now being aimed at Tulsi Gabbard. Claiming that she is a russian puppet and apologist for Assad.

The reality is that they got nothing. #KamalaHarrisDestroyed has been trending for over 12 hours at this point as a top US trend because lets face it, its true. 

But following the trend many leftists and far left activists took to twitter to shriek about russians, bots, maga bots, trumpists, etc.
Heaven forbid real people across the aisle appreciate a dose of reality at these debates. Conservatives and progressives cheered on Tulsi for calling out Kamala's hypocrisy and the only defense the dems can muster is "but muh russia!"



A footnote to Pool's confusion in reaction to Tulsi saying Trump was supporting Al Qaeda - the US is supporting Al Qaeda terrorist forces in Syria (calling them moderate rebels). She's right, although one could say that this is a continuation of US policy and it is the neocon faction, via covert (CIA) means, and through Turkey and the Gulf States, that are supporting these terrorists (in Idlib province in North Eastern Syria).

Another good vid from Tim Pool. A lot of people will remember that Obama continued the hated Bush era policies (warring on whistleblowers, unauthorised spying on citizens/journos, corporate cronyism, drone strikes and expanded proxy wars in the M-East, North Africa, plus Europe/Ukraine coup and war). They were against Obama here because of his sensible border security positions and other previously non-controversial policies.

Some want to make the distinction between "propaganda"—manipulating others with lies—and marketing—manipulating others with truth. But is this an accurate distinction? Or is it possible to use truthful information in propaganda. Join James as he explores an example of true propaganda from WWII and calls on the audience for more examples.



It's about shaping a person's view on a topic, or their world view, via various means, true or untrue (with out-of-context/unbalanced stories, omissions, and outright lies, mixing fact and fiction). Propaganda that falls so far outside reality or truth, tends to fail.

US President Donald Trump told reporters that he enjoyed his phone conversation with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, but added that the US withdrawal from the INF treaty was not discussed.

In this video, I discuss times in the past when I discovered I was in the middle of an engineering scam, and remained silent.
