The Duran – News in Review – Episode 154.
The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss a Bloomberg article on US sanctions against Russia, and their effect on the Russian economy.
Are the US sanctions working, and will the Bloomberg article convince the European Union to ramp up their sanctions against Russia as well?
Western policy makers proceed with an all out blitz to bring the Russian economy to its knees, and under neo-liberal hegemon control...but has their sanction policy actually worked, as Bloomberg claims, or is their something hiding behind the charts showing a dip in Russian GDP.

Via Zerohedge (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-11-17/study-suggests-us-sanctions-cut-6-russian-gdp-2014)...
A new study by Bloomberg Economics claims that US sanctions have knocked as much as 6% off Russia's economy over the past four years. The findings highlight the general devastation that Washington and E.U. sanctions against Moscow wreaked in the aftermath of the Crimean crisis in 2014.
According to the authors the estimate is based on a growth forecast that would be reasonably expected according to indicators at the end of 2013 if the crisis had never happened. The study found that while some of the blame is due to the slump in oil prices, sanctions have been the bigger driver, and perhaps partly the introduction of inflation targeting and a sell-off in emerging markets could be other factors.
According to the report, “The underperformance has been much bigger than crude alone can explain.”

The Duran – News in Review – Episode 112.
RT CrossTalk host Peter Lavelle and The Duran’s Alex Christoforou discuss the dangerous game of identity politics being played by the establishment, Democrat left, and their mainstream media minions.
The premise that a four decades old accusation is all that is needed to destroy a person's entire life, threatens to tear down the most basic foundational values adhered to from within the US Constitution, and propel the United States of America towards a fascist state where censorship, citizen surveillance, and evidence free accusations are used to keep the establishment left in power and the American population cowered in fear.

US President Trump is urging the woman accusing Brett Kavanaugh to testify and be heard.
Trump said he wants to hear from Christine Blasey Ford, noting that it would be "unfortunate" if she does not testify before a Senate committee. Trump told reporters Wednesday as he left the White House to view hurricane damage in North Carolina...
"If she doesn’t show up, that would be unfortunate."
"If she shows up and makes a credible showing, that would be very interesting."
From Trump's lips to God's ear...Blasey Ford came out to issue a statement essentially saying that she will not testify to Congress, either in an open or closed door session.
Furthermore it appears that Ford will not even allow Senate investigators to fly to California and obtain her statement from the comfort of her own home (as Senator Grassley has offered to do).
Ford is demanding an FBI investigation into an allegation with no date, time or place attached to it.
