For expressing this analysis, the European Union sanctioned him, accusing him of spreading conspiracy theories and pro-Russian propaganda.Jacques is now barred from using his own bank account or even buying himself food. It seems Russiagate truly never ends.Our second guest is Benoît Paré, who was a monitor on the ground for the OSCE after the Maidan Coup in Ukraine from 2014 to 2022 during the civil war which eventually led to the Russian invasion. For our full interview with Benoît, which gets into false flags, civil war, and whether Russia will be able to hold onto its advantage in the next year, please subscribe and support our work.You’ll also get our Friday Free-for-All: here’s a screenshot from today’s episode that gives an idea of the insanity we went through watching an episode of Morning Joe, starring Hillary Clinton and Donny Deutsch.00:00 Intro02:20 Hillary Clinton Claims Netanyahu KNEW About October 7 Before Attack07:40 Aaron&#39;s take: Did Netanyahu know?08:04 Jacques Baud interview24:00 Why the far-right party in Europe just won elections36:59 EU Sanctions Jacques for his reporting<
