Craig Murray exposes war lies and corruption

Speaking to the No2Nato, No2War meeting on Saturday, 25 February 2023, I had the challenge of telling a packed and highly motivated audience some things that they very much instinctively disagreed with, from a very different viewpoint to much of what they had heard from some excellent speakers all day.

I had to follow a really effective rabble rousing performance from Chris Williamson which had raised the rafters.

On top of which, I was outlining facts and arguments which have had no discernible place in the public discourse on Ukraine on any “side” and were new to most people there.

I appealed at the start for the audience to listen with an open mind, and I think largely they did.

So here is me, with no notes and no visuals, just talking, giving people my own perspective.

Commentator disagrees

Pat M, a commentator on the YouTube video, wrote:

The US, UK and EU opposed the peace talks and Zelensky withdrew from the talks.

The West then gave Ukraine more money and weapons to keep the war going, weaken Russia and get regime change in Russia i.e. the reason for all of this needless death and destruction.

Subscriptions and donations

It is your kind subscriptions and donations which keep both my activism and this blog going. Hotel costs alone for this visit to London – in a very basic hotel near Kings Cross – were £150 a night and the total three day trip, which included meeting the Assange family, meeting lawyers and working on the McDonald emails, cost over £800 including travel. (But not including the Lagavulin).

I give this detail because I am often asked where the subscriptions go! Lawyers, mostly.

It runs entirely on voluntary subscriptions from its readers – many of whom do not necessarily agree with the every article, but welcome the alternative voice, insider information and debate.
