Ex-Israeli military intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe is in the news, explaining Jeffrey Epstein’s decades-long intel work for Israel. But who is this man that Israel has smeared and tried to silence?
As we celebrate Consortium News‘ 30th Anniversary this month and appeal for funds for our future, we republish this history of the site written by the founding editor, Bob Parry, on Dec. 21, 2014.
CN‘s founding editor already wrote in March 2017 that Christopher Steele’s “investigative dossier suggests that we can’t really think for ourselves. We are all Putin’s puppets.” Russiagate adherents clearly stopped thinking for themselves.
CN Founder Robert Parry’s reporting on the MH-17 air disaster was vindicated when the World Court last week refused to blame Russia for shooting down the Malaysian airliner over Ukraine in 2014.
A collection of the journalism of Robert Parry, compiled by his son Nat, American Dispatches, is available for your support during our Spring Fund Drive.
On the 5th anniversary of his death, we republish one of Parry’s many prescient articles on Ukraine, this one on the risks of ignoring the 2014 coup, the neo-Nazis’s role and the war against coup resisters in the east.
