Terrorist Tel Aviv - UK Lame-Stream Shrinking + Brain Dead Racist USA

Henry 'Scoop' Jackson was a cold war hawk veteran of the US congress, always pushing for more weapons, more war, yet when the British neocons were casting around for a peg to hang their top hats on, they oddly fastened upon the obscure and largely forgotten Jackson. A group of British academics together with the Cordoba Foundation have recently published chapter and verse about these “go to” guys for a witch-hunt.
This week the CEO of the Cordoba Foundation, Anas Altikriti joins Sputnik.

And as the British print and even mainstream television media market continues to shrink, so does any nascent ambition they might have had to expose the rich and the powerful. That's left to the likes of WikiLeaks and Mark Watts of Exaro News. He’s one of the growing number of investigative journalists filling the space where honest journalism used to be and he came into the Sputnik studio hotfoot from Fleet Street.

Brain Dead Racist USA

The US is in crisis this week. The mass murder of black Christians in Charleston, South Carolina, may yet trigger cataclysmic events and if they don't, it can only be a matter of time. Seldom does a week go by when a black man is not murdered or grievously assaulted by a white police officer, usually cleared of any blame by an all-white tribunal. Against this backdrop, meanwhile, the next generation of US leaders is beginning to take form, though whether Mrs Hillary Clinton can accurately be described as a new generation for the Democratic Party at the age of 67 is debatable. And what do you know, there’s Jeb Bush, son of one President Bush and brother of another – this is a real Republican Dynasty. Joining us this week to discuss the American imbroglio is RT's own Stacy Herbert.
