Doug, I hope you will forgive me for violating my posting limit for today, but this is too much!

What 'nervous reactions'? I have made clear unequivovcal statements that Michael Ruppert and April Oliver (whose used to report for McNeil-Lehrer among other mainstream/centrist outlets) are not a 'right-wingers' by any measure and have requested substantiation of that accusaion - none has been forthcoming - only innuendo. Of course there are divisions on the right, as there are on the left. To conflate Henry Kissinger with Mike Ruppert is just ridiculous.
