Matthew RJ Brodsky twitter account. Then, from there, one can get a link to his
blog. Articles. He ought to drop by here. You meet someone on the internet, you know, you can't necessarily trust someone. I'm sure of that.
Error 404 (Not Found)!!1I will have to watch this later, he appears on i24, that is something like Israel 24 hours, but also on TRT, that is Turkish TV if I am not mistaken and I've seen him appear on some other news outfit, maybe CGTV, China Global TV. I can't remember the name. He hails from the US but went to Tel Aviv University. His appearances may be more on internet news services and the English version, say TRT, that's Turkey but he's on the English broadcasts.

There's some special word for that. That's pretty amazing.
