This is Monica Perez with a returning guest today.

Jeremy Kuzmerov, author of four books on US foreign policy,

including Obama's Unending Wars, fronting the foreign policy of the permanent warfare state, the Russians are coming again, the first Cold War as tragedy, the second as farce, and the myth of the addicted army,, and the Modern War on Drugs.

That's not it, though, because Jeremy is the managing editor of Covert Action magazine,

and he and his team keep us a prize of the real stories behind the biggest events of the day.

And I do greatly respect Jeremy's work,

even though our ideologies are very different.

Jeremy thinks that there is hope for government

and I've given up completely on that.

But in a post-ideological world of corruption

and collusion, people of principle can still

find common ground. So strap on your tanks we're going deep with a dive master.

Hello Jeremy, thank you for coming back.

Well, thanks.

Always my pleasure.

I just, when I look at the books and you're obviously such a scholar and you're, you know, we've talked

before, I've given your bio before, your credentials, I mean, you are really a trained professional historian and I, what I'd like to do is talk about the most recent articles that you've put up on Covert Action magazine the web scene

but I was wondering I'm just bringing this on you so if you'd rather just hit the

articles that's fine but we talked before about the history profession and you know I just I wondered if you could touch a little bit on why it is that so few people who are trained in really researching and understanding the truth,

real professionals don't talk about the real back story

about the CIA's involvement, all that.

And I can't help but wonder if it's kind of the same thing
