ABSTRACT
The Truthseeker’s pilot episode dealt with 9/11 conspiracy theories: it is a discussion of the alternative accounts of the 9/11 terrorist attacks that present the US government as an instigator of this human tragedy, in order to provide justification for the invasion of Iraq. The subsequent episodes of the programme are devoted to lobbyism, the corrupt Obama administration and the US government drone programme that is a threat to ordinary Americans. It is only when something big happens in Russia or a Russia-related sphere of politics, that The Truthseeker overtly positions itself as Russia's defence shield. The false flag operations of the US government in the past are used by The Truthseeker as the basis to claim that what happens in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine nowadays is also a false flag operation. The criticism of US domestic and foreign policies is one of three sides of the triangle of RT’s core content.
