Max Blumenthal on Liam Cosgrove

Max Blumenthal on Liam Cosgrove dated Oct 7, 2023

On October 7, 2023, Max Blumenthal posted:

"When I met Liam, he was just a young reporter looking to get his work published in a shrinking industry. He left Epoch bc they wouldn’t let him do hard hitting antiwar journalism and he’s proven himself ever since.

After The Intercept journalist Walker Bragman disparagingly posted a thread on X about Liam Cosgrove history writing for "right-wing dark money", Max Blumenthal responded

"You'll see Liam Cosgrove grilling State Dept & Pentagon spox in the briefing room about the deceptions and waste of the Ukraine proxy war, and confronting GOP candidates about their calls for war with China.

You'll never see Walker because he's soying around in his Brooklyn social anxiety chamber fantasizing about lockdowns and smearing anyone who gets in the way of the Biden White House's online censorship schemes.

I'll take Liam over Walker any day.

"The New Cold War: A Canadian perspective"

Canadian Peace Congress, April 22, 2021.

The New Cold War: A Canadian perspective Sunday, April 25 @ 12 Noon (Eastern).

The discussion will focus on the escalating ‘Cold War’ against China and the Russian Federation being engineered by the U.S. and its imperialist allies, including Canada. Some of the panelists will address the specific role of the Canadian government and ruling circles in this imperialist offensive, in particular highlighting the Meng Wanzhou case, the recent resolution adopted by the Canadian parliament accusing China of “genocide” in Xinjiang, the imposition of new sanctions against both China and the Russian Federation, etc. But we also want to set these developments in the global context of imperialist ambitions, and of course the growing danger of war.
