‘Speakeasy Registration’

Joining us today at our ‘Speakeasy’ zoom salon is Ukraine specialist Dr. Michael MacKay, who has been exposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for more than nine years, and those who read these pages, are already familiar with his brilliant work. He has been a frequent guest on RadPod — here is our latest interview with him.

MacKay is a Canadian academic, who received his PhD in political philosophy from the London School of Economics and worked as a lecturer in Ukraine, where he was also an election observer. MacKay is one of the reasons I won’t leave Twitter — I met him in 2019, and his work is a lifeline — he cuts through Russian disinformation with piercing facts. I encourage you to follow him at “mhmck” on both Twitter and Mastodon. Like our Speakeasy guest Monique Camarra, MacKay breaks news daily about the war and is a vital source of truth during these days of grave deception.

This is a terrific opportunity to ask him questions about Ukraine and what we as a community can do to help the people of Ukraine.

Here are three articles highlighting his valuable insights:

• Unmusked: How Elon Musk is Using Twitter to Destroy the Concept of Objective Truth

• Putin’s War of Annihilation

• The Rolling Insurrection

Registration link for paid members below paywall and if you join us today, you will be able to register for this event and all future events.

In addition, my new series, American Monster, is member’s only, so please consider joining and supporting independent investigative journalism on the frontline of information warfare.

Thank you to all who support my work.
