I like Barnes. He is a really smart guy and he does a good job staying on top of the legal rumor mill in DC. I studied law back in the day and Barnes has a great legal mind.
The Duran? I used to listen to them quite a bit. But I stopped. Alex has some uncomfortable Russian ties. Not sure if he is being funded directly, but it didn't look good. I took everything regarding Russia with a grain of salt, like I do with anything. Most of what they would say about China I knew for the most part was basically a load of crap. I have been watching the CCP for too long and recognize CCP dribble when I see it. Thankfully China never was much more than a footnote in most of their discussions. Their main focus was Russian and Ukraine. I liked that Alexander always had daily frontline updates. It was very difficult to get information at that time.
One day they had some CCP United Work Front spokesperson on as a guest speaker. I didn't always like some of their other speakers, but, it is okay to have a difference of opinion. I am fine with that. But this CCP guest, I was shocked. Total CCP propaganda. I knew Alex wasn't comfortable with what she was saying and he pretty much didn't engage. He seemed like he was just waiting for it to be over. I think he knew it was over the top but couldn't really say anything. Alexander on the other hand, he was helping her spin her propaganda.
So, if what they said about China was complete BS, how much could I trust what they were stating about Russia? That is when I looked into their backgrounds a little deeper. Alexander got into some trouble with the justice system and lost his right to practice. He went through a really rough time in his life - not completely his fault. But thankfully he pulled himself out of it with the help of his wife. Good for him! He put his life back together and I can respect that. We all can make mistakes and I think he has redeemed himself. Alex? The more I looking into him, I didn't like what I found. So, there was a bit of a trust issue there for me, so I just didn't follow them anymore. To each his own I guess.
I saw your post. I will probably watch it. As I said, I like Barnes. Thanks. Have a great day!
