What Really Happened Radio Show: Michael Rivero Tuesday September 10 2013
Date: 09/10/2013
Michael Rivero is the webmaster of http://whatreallyhappened.com/ and host of the What Really Happened radio shows on the Republic Broadcasting Network. Formerly with NASA, Michael transitioned his image processing skills (along with a brief stint as an actor) into the then-new motion picture computer animation field and has worked on films such as "Star Trek", "The Day After Tomorrow", and has supervised visual effects on "Brainscan," "LOST", and "Hawaii Five-0." Michael has taken a sabbatical from film work to focus all his efforts on peace activism. Michaels foray into blogging began before the word was even invented, and happened almost by accident when he spotted a suspicious photograph being broadcast on ABC news in 1994 related to the death of White House deputy Council Vincent Foster. Since that sudden beginning, Michaels website has expanded to cover diverse topics including the JFK assassination, the accidental shoot-down of TWA 800, election fraud, health issues, Saddams non-existent nuclear weapons, 9-11, the economy, and of course, the lies used to trick the United States into wars of conquest on Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Iran. Michael resides in Hawaii with his wife Claire, who is a composer and creates much of theme music used on the What Really Happened radio show.
Rand Paul Offers Praise for Obama, Himself for Preventing Syria Strike
On Monday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) joined CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer where he criticized Republicans who agreed with President Barack Obama's push for intervention into the Syrian civil war. He said that, while he opposes Obama's intervention proposal, he embraced the White House's decision on Tuesday to entertain a Russian proposal which may avert military action.
"From your perspective, would it now be appropriate to vote yes for some sort of Senate resolution authorizing the use of force, if that could be a credible threat to use over the Syrians to come up with that kind of diplomatic solutions the Russians are now proposing?" Blitzer asked.
"I'm happy that we are headed hopefully towards a diplomatic solution," Paul replied. "I think part of the reason we're here may be the threat of force, but part of the reason we're here is also because people like me prevented force from being used about three weeks ago when they wanted to bomb."

Blitzer probed Paul to see if he "acknowledged" that the advances made today with Syria is the result of the White House's diplomatic campaign. He again asked if Paul would vote for the authorization of force now that the Syria crisis is, in his opinion, on a track towards a peaceful resolution.
Paul said he would not, but he expressed his pleasure that Moscow offered to broker a peaceful resolution as a result of an "off-hand comment" made by Sec. John Kerry.
"I think the Russians have played an excellent gambit or a game of geopolitical chess with us," Paul opined. "I think that does have to include Russia."
Blitzer insisted that the White House contests that Kerry's comment was not "off-hand" and that the Russian proposal was the administration's plan all along.
"Does the president deserve at least some credit for moving the situation potentially towards this diplomatic breakthrough?" Blitzer asked.
"I don't see this in partisan way where I've got to say 'Oh, the president doesn't get credit,'" Paul replied. "Give credit where credit is due, and if we get a diplomatic solution, absolutely."
