Julian #Assange will most likely be extradited to the United States, and it could happen any day now. The British High Court ruled last month that all eight parts of Assange’s potential appeal were not “arguable” and should not be heard by the court. “The proposed appeal comes to no more than an attempt to re-run the extensive arguments made to and rejected by the district judge,” the Court's ruling said. Assange’s wife, Stella Assange, said the #WikiLeaks founder has almost exhausted his avenues of appeal in the U.K. but could still try to take his case to the European Court of Human Rights. “We remain optimistic that we will prevail and that Julian will not be extradited to the United States, where he faces charges that could result in him spending the rest of his life in a maximum-security prison for publishing true information that revealed war crimes committed by the US government,” Stella Assange said on Twitter. On this episode of the Welsh Republic podcast, we discussed the current status of Julian's case, and what the #Biden administration could do -- or perhaps a future #Trump or #Kennedy administration -- to save Assange from life (or death) in prison.

According to documents declassified under the 1998 #Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, Stepan #Bandera -- a notorious Ukrainian war criminal -- was a CIA asset with the cryptonym CASSOWARY1. Bandera's associates all had CASSOWARY code names, all were CIA assets. In this excerpt from a recent interview with Welsh Republic podcast, I explain how the United States and British intelligence protected the #NazisInUkraine from prosecution at #Nuremberg after #WWII and hired them as spies against #Russia during the #ColdWar. The origins of the current war in #Ukraine can be found in these thousands of pages of documents that were kept secret for over 50 years.

In a recent interview with the Welsh Republic podcast, we discussed the request by #Poland to deploy nuclear weapons on its territory. We also talked about alarming recent reports of a coming "false flag" event at the #Zaporizhzhia #nuclear power plant, and who might ultimately be responsible for explosives found atop the plant's roof this week. The Ukrainian military claimed on Tuesday that #Russia wasplanning a "provocation"that would take place "in the nearest future," alleging that "objects resembling explosive devices" were recently spotted being placed on the roof of the facility. A Russian nuclear adviser claimed on the same day that Ukraine was planning to attack the plant on Wednesday using "high-precision, long-range weapons." Our conversation concludes with our projections for how and when this war in #Ukraine will ultimately end, and perhaps most importantly, if, how, and when #Nazism will finally be eradicated for good in that country. I argue that without a program of denazification, peace between Russia and their #Nazi neighbors will not last.

USintelligence agencieslearned weeks ago that the#WagnerGroup was planning an insurrection, according to a new report. Multiple US officials toldThe Washington Post,thatintelligence agencies learned in mid-June that the Russian mercernary group, led byYevgeny Prigozhin, was planning an armed rebellion to take out the country’s military leaders. “There were enough signals to be able to tell the leadership … that something was up,” an unnamed US intelligence official told thePost, referring to the White House. “So I think they were ready for it.” It appears the Russians were in fact aware in advance and ready, evidenced by the quick and peaceful end of this so-called "coup." But the question lingers: were U.S. intelligence officials manipulating #Prigozhin and #Wagner behind the scenes, hoping to use Wagner Group forces to effect regime change in #Russia and topple #Putin from power? I discussed that possible scenario on the Welsh Republic podcast this week. Listen!

I've been working as a journalist since 1986. My Maverick News co-host Rick Walker brings 35 years of experience to the table, 25 of those years at CTV in #Canada. We both started our careers in the 1980s, long before the internet changed how the news is covered (for the better, we might argue). On this edition of Maverick News, Rick and I explore the question: was old school" journalism -- objective and unbiased, the way our generation was trained to do our jobs -- better than "new school" opinion/activist journalism? Is partisan bias killing our profession? We also talk about how election coverage has changed over the past 40 years, compare notes, and share some funny stories of our early years as reporters back in the Reagan era! (Yes, we are THAT old!) We also discuss the importance of the Julian #Assange case to the First Amendment, and journalists all over the world. Join us for our LIVE Twitter Space -- a birthday vigil for Julian Assange as his extradition appears imminent -- July 3 at 8 PM Eastern. This panel will be moderated by the Maverick News team, and we have an amazing panel of guest speakers, journalists, and friends of Assange lined up for this global online event. Speakers scheduled include: Scott Ritter, Jose Vega, Anastasia Battle, Independent U.S. Senate Candidate from New York Diane Sare, RT Reporter Caleb Maupin, journalist Kevin Gosztola (who has covered the Assange trial for more than four years now), TNT Radio host Misty Winston, Angela McArdle, National Chair of the #Libertarian Party, podcast hosts Jay Scott of the Jay Scott Ascension, Craig Yo Pasta of The Convo Couch, Welsh of the Welsh Republic podcast, "Declaring Independence" co-host Kynan Thistlethwaite, and perhaps a few special surprise guests as well.

On this edition of Maverick News, we analyze the various and sundry fake news stories that the Western media -- in their haste to declare the #Putin regime over in #Russia -- completely invented out of thin air during the "coup" that never materialized. One by one, every story reported about the Wagner Group's brief (and ultimately insignificant) rebellion was proven to be #fakenews this week.

In part 3 of our most recent Maverick News interview with former U.N. Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter, we talk about escalating nuclear tensions between the U.S., and Russia, China, and North Korea, and the need for a new International Arms Control Treaty. “It’s vital that we stop this world war from escalating past the point of no return,” Ritter says. “Right now, we don’t have a diplomatic solution, and that should scare every American.” We also ask #ScottRitter for his analysis on the “Chinese Spy Balloon” shootdown incidents of late, and Sy Hersh’s bombshell report implicating the U.S. in the #Nordstream 1 and 2 pipeline explosions. Ritter calls Hersh’s report “the story of the century. It could bring down #NATO.” This wouldn’t be the first time the U.S. has blown up a Russian gas pipeline. We talk about the 1982 Trans-Siberian pipeline, which was sabotaged by the CIA to damage the Soviet Union economically during the Cold War in 1982.

On this edition of Maverick News, we analyze the dizzying events that have taken place in Russia over the past week. After months of feuding with Russia’s military chiefs, Yevgeny #Prigozhin,head of the feared PMC #WagnerGroup, stepped up his fight and ordered his mercenaries to seize the port city of #Rostov Saturday. They crossed the border with #Ukraine and were ready to go “all the way” against the Russian military, the Wagner boss said. Prigozhinmutiniedagainst the Russian high command and captured the country’s 10th largest city before marching his fighters towards the capital, #Moscow. But the Wagner convoy stopped within 200km (124 miles) of Moscow, after a deal was seemingly struck with the help of Belarusian President Alexander #Lukashenko. Prigozhin was told he could go into exile in Belarus and charges against him would be dropped if he ended his mutiny. The spectacle this weekend baffled observers of the #Russia-Ukraine war as well as Russians themselves. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday blasted organizers of a weekend revolt, the gravest threat yet to his power, as traitors who played into the hands of Ukraine’s government and its allies. Speaking in a stern tone and looking tired in a five-minute TV address near midnight, #Putin sought toproject stability. He tried to strike a balance between criticizing the uprising’s perpetrators to prevent another crisis, and not antagonizing the bulk of the mercenaries and their hardline supporters, some of whom are incensed at the Kremlin’s handling of the situation. We will show you President Putin's address to the nation and discuss the numerous #fakenews reports surrounding the events Western pundits falsely described as a "coup," as well as how this rebellion might affect the Russian military -- and the Wagner #mercenaries -- going forward.

Is it too late to stop the momentum that is spiraling us into #WWIII? We asked #ScottRitter — former Marine and U.N. Weapons Inspector in #Iraq and post-Soviet #Russia — his thoughts on how (and if) #peace can be achieved.

“Ukraine has now suffered more casualties than the U.S. suffered in all of #WWII,” says former U.N. Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter in his latest update on the war between #Russia and #Ukraine. #ScottRitter explains why “nothing less than the total denazification of Ukraine will solve this Nazi problem. But what will that look like, and how will it work? How do we de-Nazify a region that has been infested with fascist ideology for a century? Delving into some history, Scott explains how after WWII, Western intelligence services recruited former Nazis and helped them flee prosecution at Nuremberg, hiring them as spies to fight the Cold War against the Soviet Union. Many Ukrainian #Banderites and #Nazi nationalists emigrated to the U.S. and Canada, bringing their hateful ideology with them. We discuss the plight of Julian #Assange, and its importance to both journalists around the world, as well as the public’s right to know what governments do in their names. Without #WikiLeaks, what would we really know about the wars of the past 20 years, for example? What would we know about how our own political system is rigged? Or how huge global corporations work hand-in-glove with U.S. intelligence agencies? In closing, Scott has a few choice words for his detractors and attackers you won’t want to miss!

Episode 4 of "Strange Bedfellows" -- original air date: May 26, 2023. "Strange Bedfellows," co-hosted by Lori Spencer (#libertarian) and Tyler McConnell (#communist) is a podcast that bridges the political divide. We bring together Americans from all sides of the political spectrum to find points of agreement. On this episode, co-host @tylermcconnell and I interviewed Pastor Miilhan Stephens of the Manhattan Family Church, a branch of the Unification Church founded by Sun Myung Moon. His followers, often referred to as “#Moonies,” have been characterized as a cult. The Church’s anti-communism is legendary — dating back to the Church’s founding in South Korea during the aftermath of the #KoreanWar. Yet, the Church members actually agree with #communists on one extremely important goal: reunification of North and South Korea after more than 70 years of separation and hostility. On “Strange Bedfellows,” we brought Pastor Stephens together with a communist leader, @CalebMaupinTV founder of the Center for Political Innovation (CPI), for an amazing conversation. To everyone’s surprise, these two political opposites found much common ground between them. Their respective groups recently co-sponsored a large Peace March to the United Nations in New York City to plead the case not just for #peace on the Korean peninsula, but an end to the war between #Russia and #Ukraine. Despite their ideological and political differences, Maupin and Stephens agreed to work together for world peace — and here at “Strange Bedfellows,” we think that’s a beautiful example we could all learn from in these politically divisive times. "Strange Bedfellows" originally began as a fill-in show on Scott Ritter's channel while he was on a monthlong goodwill mission in #Russia during May, 2023.

Former U.N. Weapons Inspector in post-Soviet #Russia and #Iraq Scott Ritter has been the target of a vicious harassment and character assassination campaign (directed by the FBI & CIA) for over two decades now. Most recently, 2024 presidential candidate #RFKJr was forced to delete a tweet regarding a new interview he did with #ScottRitter under intense pressure from the #NAFO troll mob. The reason? An alleged “pedophile” past — allegations which Ritter forcefully denied inPart 1 of this interview. In Part 2, Ritter talks about the political intrigues behind the efforts to discredit his legitimate critiques of the U.S. war machine over the years. We begin in 2000, when he informed the world that there were no #WMD’s in Iraq, and the events that lead to his opposition of U.S. supplying billions in cash and weaponry to #Ukraine in the current war with Russia. Ritter also announced plans to travel to Russia for a nuclear arms control mission (which he will record for an upcoming documentary film), and a large “No Nukes” rally in New York’s Central Park next June. This Maverick News marathon interview was 3 hours in length. I will be uploading it to my YouTube channel in shorter segments this week.

Former U.N. Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter was on 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s podcast this week to discuss the attempted #Wagner Group coup in #Russia. But shortly after it was posted to Mr. #Kennedy's Twitter account, #RFKJr deleted the tweet -- after a slanderous pressure campaign was applied, forcing him to backtrack his support for #ScottRitter. A similar smear campaign forced organizers of the Feb. 19th Rage Against the War Machine rally in Washington, D.C. to cancel Ritter's scheduled speech at the event. Organizers released a statement that they did not want Ritter speaking at the rally because “his criminal convictions are despicable and contradict our values.” Several prominent libertarians within the party leadership have published harsh rebukes of Scott Ritter, calling him a “twice-convicted pedophile,” statements which Ritter says are libelous. Since Scott Ritter is once again being dragged through the mud, we think his side of the story should be heard, amongst all the clamor about him. In this Maverick News flashback from February, Scott sat down with us for an exclusive 3 hour interview to speak in his own defense against this often-repeated falsehood. Ritter says he never interacted in person or online with any underage girls. His only interactions were with an adult male police officer (in an adults-only, age-verified chat room) who was attempting to entrap him in a sting operation. Ritter believes the entrapment operation was prompted by his disclosures that Iraq had no #WMD’s prior to the start of the #Iraqwar, to discredit him in the court of public opinion — an order that came from the highest levels of the Bush administration. In this interview Ritter revealed many important details about his case — which is still on appeal — that the public has never heard before. Scott also described his dark years of incarceration for a crime he says he did not commit, and a 25 year campaign of harassment, intimidation, and character assassination against his family by the FBI which continues to the present day. This is Part 1 of an amazing marathon 3 hour interview. (I’ll be uploading it in shorter segments to my YouTube channel this week.
