Roberto Mazzoni, an Italian journalist based in the U.S.A., who runs a political blog, has reported about the Nov. 22 International Peace Coalition meeting in his newest video. He describes the Schiller Institute in his introduction and paraphrases Dennis Small’s speech with his own words and reflections, after which he runs the IPC video with the speeches by Scott Ritter, Ray McGovern and Steve Starr, in the original English. Under the video, watchers can read the transcript.
Although this author is aware of Mazzoni’s activity, it is not clear how large his audience is. He has up to 30,000 views. Some of his videos run by money. This new video is entitled “60 Days of Folly”:
“We are in a very delicate moment and literally anything could happen between now and January 20. And this is not my opinion. I have consulted the opinion of numerous commentators, both political and military in the United States and outside the United States, economic commentators, and the opinion is common. They all share the view that between now and January 20, so between now and Donald Trump’s inauguration as President, anything could really happen, even the unthinkable.
“At this point, there could be many considerations about it, but there is no space in this particular video, which I want to use instead to transfer to you the opinion of experts in the field so that you can hear from their voice directly what is an estimate of the situation. I have chosen from the various content available online a panel discussion, a panel produced by the Schiller Institute, which is a private organization with various activities in the cultural and peace promotion fields that has distinguished itself in recent years for providing content in the direction of facilitating a dialogue, facilitating an overall temperature reduction. This panel is attended by people who have distinguished themselves, again, in recent years to provide an alternative view from the mainstream media certainly and also from other commentators who perhaps transfer information but do not have sufficient personal expertise to be able to analyze it thoroughly.
“These are people who have worked in the CIA or in the U.S. military and have carried out allusions that are pretty close to the situation that we are in today and so I think they are able to give us a pretty accurate idea. Plus they are people who over time have distinguished themselves by exposing excesses by the U.S. government, variously more or less transparent activities, various lies created by the U.S. military-industrial complex. So these are people who are, I would say, quite credible, about whom everyone has their own points of view, they have their own personal ideas, they have their own personal motivations, and so we have to take the contribution of each with a minimum of criticism. What is known, however, is that they are in agreement, and when you find uniform judgment on many fronts that even touch people who tend to gravitate to different political lines, even opposing each other, and who have different views on methods of governing than others, the event where there is uniform judgment is because that’s probably the situation.”
After the IPC video, Mazzoni concludes by saying, among other things: “The video speaks for itself, so I’m not going to comment further, but we’ll reserve that for another installment, as there is more content I have to convey to you.”
