Teach-in Webinar – War in Ukraine: How the Lies of Empire Stand in the Way of a Diplomatic Resolution

Digging deep to unearth the facts behind the war in Ukraine.

The world has been horrified by recent events in Ukraine.

The mainstream media has not been reporting the facts including a hidden history of nefarious covert activities that fit with the past pattern of U.S. foreign policy.

This Teach-in Webinar will illuminate the backstory the media has not reported, and challenge the dominant narrative about the war. We will further raise concerns about the growing threat of nuclear conflagration while provoking discussion about what the peace movement should now be doing.

Speakers include:

  • Ray McGovern, former CIA Analyst and Russia expert, founder Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity
  • Andrei Martyanov, expert on Russian military affairs, author The Real Revolution in Military Affairs
  • Chris Kaspar de Ploeg, author Ukraine in the Crossfire
  • Scott Ritter, former U.S. Marine Intelligence officer, UN Arms Inspector, exposed WMD lie in U.S. push to invade Iraq
  • John Kiriakou, CIA whistleblower and Radio Sputnik host
  • James Carden, Adviser U.S.-Russia bilateral commission during the Obama administration & Ex. Editor of “The American Committee for East-West Accord”
  • Ron Ridenour, peace activist, author The Russian Peace Threat
  • Gerald Horne, historian, author, Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston
  • Jeremy Kuzmarov, CAM Managing Editor and author of The Russians Are Coming, Again: The First Cold War as Tragedy, the Second as Farce

  1. Thanks for a really interesting Webinar. Given the tsunami of Western warmongering propaganda, which rolls on relentlessly here in Aotearoa/New Zealand, the international peace/anti-nuclear movement needs all the relevant information it can get garner for promoting a better future.

  2. Sadly, the title of the article puts me off watching the video. It is the Diplomats who lie. This is why they are diplomats, because they’re trained liars; trained to lie without people suspecting the3y’re lying. If a country wants to go to war or organize a war in a foreign country, the diplomat must ensure the war happens, w¿hilst pretending the opposite.

  3. How can I listen to a recording of the Webinar. I live in France where because of time zone of six hours differences between New York and France, I could not stay up until 1 am to listen to the
    Webinar. Is there a recording of the Webinar that I could access which will let me listen to the entirety of the Webinar? If so, how?

    • Perfect that your comment was on April Fool’s Day. No one matches the Empire for lying, no one. I am reading The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert F Kennedy, a heavily sourced book with dozens of interviews with doctors around the world. Millions of people died so Fauci and his best buddy Bill Gates could rake in more money; apparently Fauci believes he’s never going to die, a common human delusion. I just hope I live long enough to see the man who makes Mengele look like small potatoes croak, and hopefully painfully.

  4. Webinar is full despite being registered. Hoping you can bump up the account now beyond 100 participants (just for April)
