Guest: Rachel Blevins - The US/Israel War Machine & WTF is going on in Ukraine?

In this informative episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, hosts Jason and Don welcome back former TFTP editor Rachel Blevins to the show. Blevins is currently a journalist for RT, where she was a co-host of the show Boom Bust for a year. After spending time living in Moscow, this Texas native is now back in Austin, and we were lucky enough to hear her thoughts on geopolitics, foreign policy, and the US military.

We started the conversation by examining the clear hypocrisy the US has engaged in with the justification for its posturing in the military build-up in the Mediterranean.

Don touched on the global protests that have been mostly ignored by the media. Then we asked Rachel to explain the current situation with Taiwan. Near the end of the show, Rachel shared what it's like to work for RT and the journalistic freedom she has experienced working for the Russians.
