Fox News contributor Ralph Peters quits ‘propaganda machine’ in email to colleagues
The Washington Times ^ | March 20, 2018 | Jessica Chasmar

A retired Army lieutenant colonel and Fox News contributor quit the network Tuesday, accusing it of fueling paranoia among its audience and serving as a “propaganda machine” for the Trump administration.

Retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, a “strategic analyst” at Fox News, made the comments in an email to colleagues announcing that he had not renewed his contract, obtained by BuzzFeed.

“Four decades ago, I took an oath as a newly commissioned officer. I swore to ‘support and defend the Constitution,’ and that oath did not expire when I took off my uniform. Today, I feel that Fox News is assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers. Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association. Now I am ashamed,” Mr. Peters reportedly wrote.

Some tools would call it blasphemy to suggest US military members are turncoats, traitors, and without honor.

Peters is but one in a swamp of them.

Peters went off the rails about a year ago. I wonder if somebody has something on him.

Here's why Peters always has been a nut - these are the words of a communist mole who has used likely been using his military cover and fake "tough" talk against Russia as "cred" and you can bet he's been planting disinfo for the damn Russians all along- or else he is of the Lyndon LaRouche cult and I'm not sure they aren't in the employ of Russian communists, too - there is just something putrifying about an American military guy calling fellow veterans and Blackwater employees "thugs" rather than mercs or contractors -even if you don't add in his deranged leftist view of the 2nd amendment - and what is it with all the antitrumpers using Russian terminology in their writings? :

Putin had to approve Russian attack on US troops New York Post ^ | Feb. 14, 2018 | Ralph Peters Posted by firebrand

...The most important thing about this attack on our troops is that it couldn’t have happened without Vladimir Putin’s personal approval. Nye vozmozhno. The core of the attacking force came from the Wagner Group, Russia’s version of the American thugs who worked for the company formerly known as Blackwater. But while the media refers to the Russians as mercenaries, the Wagner Group functions as an auxiliary of the Russian military...(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...

I wonder how he thinks Fox News is “assaulting the Constitutional order”? By defending free speech, the right to bear arms, the right to be free from arbitrary government surveillance?

The first time I saw Ralph Peters was back in July, and he was acting mental then.

Wow! Ralph Peters and Tucker Carlson. Check it Out!

He’s no neoconservative. Neoconservatives would not refer to Blackwater contractors as “thugs,” they would say “contractors.”

A left-leaning antiwar Libertarian might use the word “thugs” but I think he’s most likely an international socialist- they most certainly would call US vets working for Eric Prince “thugs.” Or he could be an Putin puppet who’s just been trying to hide it.
