CBS's new ethics chief led arms industry, foreign gov't funded think tank Under Kenneth Weinstein's leadership, the Hudson Institute published reports calling for more military spending without disclosing potential conflicts of interest

New CBS News ombudsman Kenneth Weinstein formerly ran a think tank that took massive funding from foreign governments and weapons firms.

The think tank then produced reports that were beneficial to those countries/companies and didn't disclose the potential conflict of interest.

The Question of Israel’s Right to Exist is a Red Herring Israel’s critics should be talking instead about regime change.

Germany, Italy, Japan, South Africa, the USSR, and Iran have all undergone regime change.

GHF's anonymous "sworn statements" by other contractors denouncing whistleblower Anthony Aguilar contain two different misspellings of "Israel."

Do GHF contractors really have no idea how to write the name of the country they are based in?

If you just came to the conclusion that Israel is intentionally creating a famine in Gaza, why didn’t you take the words of Israeli political leaders seriously for the past 20 months?

They literally said this is what they were going to do.

I was one of the last analysts from a US thinktank to visit Iran and speak with Foreign Ministry officials and nuclear negotiators.

They were flexible on key issues and eager to reach a deal with Trump, if Trump could just take "yes" as an answer. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The last public assessment by the U.S. intelligence community is that:

“Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme leader Khomeini has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003.”
