Update on Steven Donziger's incarceration. A rightwing ideologue who helped prosecute Donziger on behalf of Chevron is now being appointed by Biden to be a judge on a federal circuit court. A simple country billionaire doesn't know what all the fuss is about with wealth and resources being concentrated in the hands of a few people. The Grayzone has lost an amazing reporter in Benjamin Norton (who is carrying on with a new project called Multipolarista), likely due to disagreements about the pandemic. Coronavirus doesn't exist yet more people have it than ever (call it "Fauci's Paradox"). The Great Barrington Declaration was funded by hard right think tanks, notably ones backed by the Koch brother (now singular). An "ex" CIA operative, now State Department spokesperson, was made to squirm under simple, basic journalistic questions and it was glorious. Anti-Russian propaganda accidentally celebrates Ukrainian Nazism. Then we talk about TV for a bit.
