Colllapse of Ukrainian military and US foreign policy. Speaker notes that top economic advisors need to attempt to explain nature of reality to Breadline Joe Biden and if he ignores them (most likely case), resign and take their case to the world. Present policy is not worth sacrificinig the United States over.

About the pizdobol behind this You Tube propaganda:

https://www.legalcheek.com/2017/07/barrister-who-was-disbarred-after-forging-lady-hale-letter-sued-for-200000-by-ex-client/

“Barrister who was disbarred after forging Lady Hale letter sued for £200,000 by ex-client”

Alexander Mercouris has reinvented himself as a Russian commentator, his former client isn’t happy about this

An ex-barrister who forged a letter from Lady Hale is set to be sued for hundreds of thousands of pounds by a former client.

Alexander Mercouris was booted out of the profession in 2012 after a disciplinary tribunal found he’d brought the profession into disrepute thanks to his handling of Lorna Jamous’ claim (Jamous is the former client who is now suing him).

Beautician Jamous instructed Mercouris in a damages claim against Westminster Council, which stemmed from a care hearing involving her son, Tariq. Though the local authority offered Jamous £5,000 to settle, her barrister said he’d managed to win her a whopping £983,000, which he had in fact not done. This prompted Jamous to borrow money, go on holiday and look at new houses because she was expecting a windfall.

But with the windfall failing to materialise, Mercouris then — in the words of Stephen Mooney, acting for the Bar Standards Board (BSB) — “embarked on ever more bizarre assertions to hide the truth”. These included fabricating a letter from Lady Hale, now the deputy president of the Supreme Court, expressing concern about the near £1 million payment not having been made by Westminster.

He later claimed that he had been detained by bogus police officers and taken to a meeting with Lord Phillips, then president of the Supreme Court, and offered £50,000 to drop the claim. Mercouris, who was called in 2006, at one point also said that his brother had stolen the whole payout.

Mooney described Mercouris’ actions as “tortuous deceit”; former Royal Courts of Justice advisor Mercouris put them down to a nervous breakdown and subsequent depressive illness. Representing himself at the BSB-led hearing, Mercouris admitted the five counts against him and said:

I’m very sorry. I worked very hard to become a barrister and disbarment is a bitter thought.

Since his disbarment four years ago, Mercouris has reinvented himself as a writer and commentator on all things Russia and the law. He is an editor at news site The Duran, runs a professional Facebook page which has over 4,000 followers and appears on TV discussing current affairs.

The media can BS our homegrown idiots for only so long. Neocons hang in a little longer.

As reality sets in on their paper thin skulls I confess I’ve got buckets of schadenfreude ready to dump on their heads. They need to be kicked to the curb.

LOL The Ukrainians merely stated the obvious: that they are taking heavy losses in the Donbas.

Russia still hasn't taken Severodonetsk, and whatever progress the RA makes is measured in meters, not kilometers.

Let me guess, this is the same Mercouris who works for a Russian state associated media organization.

You almost have to feel sorry for anybody who’d be siding with the neocons and banderanazis at this point.

Biden has surrounded himself with experts who have expertise in nothing. They don’t even know how capitalism works.

Wishfully waving magical wands.... democrats 🙈🙉🙊

What is happening now is exactly what Biden’s “top economic advisors” told him to do. They aren’t going to resign just because it’s destroying the country — that IS the plan.

Given the amount of damage these degenerates generate, feeling sorry is difficult.

Perhaps such feelings should be delayed until they all are properly .. what was the term? .. denazified?

Well, that $40,000,000,000 sent to Ukraine should stall the Russians at least for 40 days? May be only 36 days. Big guy gets 10%.

The LegalCheek article from 2017 is somewhat accurate and somewhat not. It tells half a story, as do a number of the other posts on Legal Cheek.

The sordid tale began with a 2006 charge against Mercouris resulting in a disbarment in 3 December 2012. Details are at the following source:

https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/disciplinary_finding/76984.html

The Legal Cheek article was in the same year as a UK tabloid ran the tale. "Beautician wins right to sue barrister who 'lied over payout'," Evening Standard, 14 July 2017.

But the legal story continued with arguments and counter arguments, which continued until 2020. From the dismissal of the whole, one reads:

"Conclusion (Mr Justice Murray:) 141. In summary, Mr Jamous; failure to file his Appellant's Notice within the time limit stipulated by the rules was a serious and significant breach that continued even after an explicit warning by Martin Spencer J that the appeal was out of time and, if it was going to be pursued, should be filed "as soon as possible". There was good reason for that serious and significant breach. Having regard to all the circumstance of the case, there is no justification for relief from sanctions. Accordingly, in my judgment, applying the principles set out in Mitchell, Denton and Mysaj, Mr Jamous's application for an extension of time to file his Appellant's Notice must be refused.

142. The effect of this is that Mr Jamous's application for permission to appeal the 18 December Order does not fall to be determined and, accordingly, Mr Jamous's claim against Mr Mercouris remains struck out by virtue of the 18 December Order.

Source: https://www.casemine.com/judgement/uk/5f9b9b702c94e005e4e75361

The tale is over. The disbarred barrister, the strange litigants -- son and mother -- and a strange tale. More in the 23 October 2020 judgment: "At {76} Stewart J noted: "Mrs Jamous has serially: (a) Issued applications certified as totally without merit, (b) Failed to comply with court orders, (c) Issued applications without notice to the Defendant, (d) Attended before judges without making application." And a paragraph later, "certified as totally without merit."

So citing the 2017 Legal Cheek article ends with reading the true end to the affair in 2020.

I have no argument with the notion that Mercouris, this war commenter, has a sordid past, but when one measures people by their past, most likely all the Democrat Party and a whopping big percentage of the Republicans have sordid pasts for tastier than this "kill the messenger" inclusion into the Ukraine/Russia conflict.

As to sordid pasts involving Ukraine, one should not forget the princelings and wannabe oligarchs, sons of Biden, Pelosi, Kerry and Romney were busy enriching themselves through the corruption in pre-war Ukraine. One should also not forget Undersecretary Nuland's hand in the color revolution and Maidan color revolution and her fine diplomacy caught on mike as she said, "F**k Europe."

Taken together as a larger picture, Mercouris is small potatoes. Propaganda from and on both sides floods the news. Mercouris maybe even is a "pizdobol" is, as you write. But having only now looked into the word, I learn it is Russian slang.

Thanks for teaching us a bit of Russian slang. Next 'tempest in a teapot,' I might use the word.
