Stop the presses, everyone! The US and Russia have announced a ceasefire in Syria!…again. But this time it’s going to work. Except for that whole sticky question about who the ceasefire applies to and under what conditions. Confused? Today Pepe Escobar of Newsbud.com joins us to untangle the confusing mess of the Syria ceasefire and tell us what it really means.
SHOW NOTES:

MOST people who would support and welcome Newsbud, still have not even heard of it!
ALL of those people who were in the one-day fund raiser last Valentine’s Day need to get out and make the rounds to any and every talk show, blogger or where ever to get the word out and promote this new HONEST news venue.
Plus all supporters of any other news media also need to contact the hosts and ask if they will support and promote Newsbud.
The ones that will NOT, are the ones that are not worth listening to or reading. This is an excellent test; why should anybody be threatened by this new news venture? That is the BIG question! For example, we all know that AJ will not support it but we already knew that he is not worth listening to. Certainly MSM will black it out.
I could be wrong, but it seems like Newsbud left James Corbett with all of the burden of getting the word out by himself. At least I have not seen anybody but him even mention it.
Mike Rivero @ What Really Happened says that he sent Sibel Edmonds an email to get the particulars so that he could start to promote Newsbud and never got a reply. It seems to ME that somebody from there should have contacted HIM!
Getting this off the ground is the hardest part and they will not get almost a million dollars of donations sitting around waiting for it.
Oddly enough this very same article has been taken up by Infowars but unfortunately it is being “Trumped” by other stories and is not featuring on the main page, so few will know about.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ve just put Mike in touch with Sibel directly.
Pepe Escobar: “I’m available to answer any questions by anybody about what our editorial policies are going to be.”
I have a question: Will Newsbud be as obtuse about Israel as you and James Corbett were in this interview?
