I’d also like the acknowledge journalists involved for RT, Sputnik, and other independent media. Authors and TV journalists like RT’s In the Now analyst Anissa Naouai are owed an incalculable debt. Former RT Breaking the Set host Abby Martin became household names for their gripping and revealing programs calling to question western mainstream narratives, and she still champions causes like that of the embattled Palestinians dehumanized in Isreal. Other names that became famous for voicing moderation or outright dissent were Andrew Korybko of Sputnik, Neil Clark for RT and Sputnik, and Finian Cunningham, who often took hard knocks for being Kremlin Trolls. The truth of the matter on these writers is, they’re either doing the job or serving up their research and views as honest journalists. RT’s Max Keiser, Peter Lavelle who launched the much read The Duran, and Robert Bridge also fall into this category. While some journalists like Mark Sleboda and even the indubitable Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge wore the Kremlin Troll badge a time or two, they were professional analysts in other spheres long before this new media war heated up. The same is true for one of the most important voices of anti-globalist doctrine, award winning author F. William Engdahl, who’s a colleague also contributing to New Eastern Outlook. Some will recall Engdahl as a well cited investigative journalist far back into the 1970’s, and he published “A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order” back in 2004. I’d be remiss if I did not mention Veterans Today Managing Editor Jim Dean and the indomitable Gordon Duff, who have been tireless in their efforts to provide thought provoking reports and deep intelligence regarding the deep state[59] and the clandestine network underneath what the public perceives.
Of course, there are many other “so-called” pro-Russia sympathizers I cannot mention for previously specified reasons. There are also a few I simply am forgetting to mention or who have asked to be omitted for other reasons. There’s also several dozens of independent media outlets that without their publishing of these dissenting views, the world would simply have no clue as to any alternative Russia news. A couple that come to mind are 21st Century Wire, Fort Russ, and Moon of Alabama. To these publishers and well-wishers, we all owe a great debt of gratitude. And finally, these “top” Kremlin Trolls I’ve captured for you would have absolutely zero influence were it not for the millions of people who read their articles, retweet their tweets, share their Facebook posts, and who watch their TV or YouTube broadcasts. While these adversaries to the globalist media are very few by comparison to their western mainstream counterparts, their efforts will thankfully never go unnoticed. Their passion for telling the truth nobody wanted to hear will always be remembered.
