This is amazing stuff Yasha...I was just watching Buttar interviewed on Useful Idiots the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL7EIBw2AIw

He comes across as so legit.

In that vane...if you get a chance, is it possible for you to do a review of this book?: https://www.amazon.co.uk/This-Not-Propaganda-Adventures-Against/dp/0571338631/

Some of it seems "off" to me, and I would value your thoughts.

Possibly scratch that.....I just read your piece on Garry Kasparov's foundation and his rant. The book I mention above has an endorsement on the back cover from Garry...so, there's that!! 😉

Aaaand....scratch that.

I see you've already provided a link to an article by Mark Ames about Peter Pomerantsev, the author I mention above, via your https://yasha.substack.com/p/court-russians-and-soviet-emigres essay:

"...Of course, Simon is not alone. He seems like a nice guy, and he’s a decent reporter. But he’s not very remarkable. As far as Soviet Jewish emigre journalists go, there are other, much worse offenders. People like Masha Gessen, Julia Ioffe, Peter Pomerantsev — just to name a few of the ones who’ve done the most damage..."
