On Contact: American Fascists And The Christian Right

November 15, 2020 Chris Hedges, RT. , , ,
On the show this week, Chris Hedges talks to the Rev. Dr. Mel White about the Christian Right, which Hedges describes as “a homegrown fascist movement.” It has been organizing to take political power for decades, he says. During the Trump administration, it seized senior positions in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government – a move violating US Constitutional powers of separation of Church and State. In his book ‘American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America’, Hedges states that there are 70 million evangelical Christians in the United States...

What Biden’s Election Means For Venezuela

November 14, 2020 Anya Parampil, The Grayzone. , , ,
Leo Flores of CODEPINK joins Anya Parampil to discuss what the election of Joe Biden will mean for US Venezuela policy, and the importance of Venezuela’s upcoming parliamentary elections in preserving the country’s sovereignty. Anya Parampil: In July you wrote a piece for The Grayzone and CODEPINK exploring candidate Joe Biden's vision for Venezuela, determining it is "virtually indistinguishable from Trump's." How do you think the fact that Biden lost Florida and that some Latinos in the state, particularly Cubans and Venezuelans, voted overwhelmingly for President Trump?

Update: Abby Martin’s Lawsuit Over Israel Loyalty Oath Mandate In US

November 14, 2020 Empire Files. , , ,
New developments in Abby Martin's major lawsuit challenging unconstitutional pro-Israel, anti-BDS law in the state of Georgia. Abby Martin: "In February of this year, I was supposed to give a keynote speech at Georgia Southern University. Before the event, I refused to sign a state-mandated pledge to not boycott Israel in order to speak. My invitation was rescinded and the conference canceled as a result. I decided to sue the state of Georgia because signing an anti-BDS clause in order to work in the state is a direct violation of my rights to Constitutional free speech and to participate in political boycotts."

On Contact: American Dissent

November 8, 2020 Chris Hedges, RT. , , ,
On the show this week, Chris Hedges talks to Professor Paul Street about the outcome of the US presidential election, and how despite likely losing, Donald Trump has solidified an angry, disposed working class that cuts across racial lines and has embraced a right-wing populism. What does this portend for the two ruling parties? Will the Democrats continue to be captive to big donors and Wall Street, or will they embrace the anti-corporate message and promises Medicare for all, free higher education, higher corporate taxes and regulation of big banks and Silicon Valley that drew such broad and enthusiastic support for Bernie Sanders?

Capitalism’s Worst Nightmare

November 4, 2020 Richard Wolff, Democracy at Work. , , ,
On this week's show, Prof. Wolff explores what major social changes will flow from today's combination of major economic crash and the viral pandemic (capitalism's worst nightmare). To answer, we consider how European feudalism changed after its 14th century combination of economic decline and the bubonic plague. The two big changes then were (1) switching from a decentralized to a strong state, monarchical feudalism and (2) transition from feudalism to capitalism. The two big parallel changes now are...

Deception 2020: The Struggle Is The Same

November 3, 2020 Eleanor Goldfield, Art Killing Apathy. , ,
In this eighth and final installment of the Deception 2020 Series, we uplift the solidarity of the shaken – acknowledging how shitty things feel right now while highlighting the power and hope that rests in our actions far outside the confines of a voting booth. Jacquie Luqman, co-host of By Any Means Necessary joins us to share her fears, her hope and the long list of ways in which, regardless of who wins, our struggle remains the same.

Deception 2020: Every Vote Counts (Many Restrictions Apply)

November 2, 2020 Eleanor Goldfield, Art Killing Apathy. , , ,
In this seventh installment of the Deception 2020 Series, we dig into literal and figurative levers of electoral power. How legit are our elections? And if they aren't, what are we even saying when we say "we're having an election?" Activist Comedian Lee Camp joins us to dig into they specific and myriad ways in which our elections are deeply and bipartisanly rigged.

On Contact: The Disintegrating Media Landscape

November 1, 2020 Chris Hedges, RT. , , ,
On the show this week, Chris Hedges talks to journalist and author Matt Taibbi about the rapidly disintegrating media landscape and the consequences of that disintegration. Taibbi has been following developments since Twitter and Facebook blocked a New York Post story about a cache of emails reportedly belonging to Democratic nominee Joe Biden's son Hunter, with Twitter blocking the New York Post out of its own account for over a week. The overt censorship is emblematic of the widening and dangerous partisan divide into information that hurts or promotes one political faction over another, and is now infecting nearly all news organizations.

Deception 2020: The One Thing Democrats And Republicans Always Agree On

October 31, 2020 Eleanor Goldfield, Art Killing Apathy. , , ,
In this sixth installment of the Deception 2020 Series, we highlight the most vibrant common thread between both of our corporate parties: imperialism. We sit down with Leonardo Flores to discuss Venezuela in particular, placing the ongoing attack on this progressive nation in the broader context of US imperialism both away and at home.

Deception 2020: It’s Not The Most Important Election

October 30, 2020 Eleanor Goldfield, Art Killing Apathy. , , ,
In this fifth installment of the Deception 2020 Series, we dig into that trite line about “the most important election of our time!” You’ve likely heard it before – chances are you’ll hear it again. For some historic and political context, we sit down with Eugene Puryear to further highlight the fallacy of this claim, and discuss what really makes any year – regardless of elections – politically important.

Deception 2020: It’s Not Propaganda When We Do It

October 29, 2020 Eleanor Goldfield, Art Killing Apathy. , , ,
In this fourth installment of the Deception 2020 Series, we dig into the cesspool of propaganda – the red, white and blue kind. Joined by Mickey Huff, Director of Project Censored, we turn the camera towards the corporate media and discuss some of the things you won’t hear in this election run up, and why media literacy is so vital now and especially moving forward.

Deception 2020: Our SickCare System

October 28, 2020 Eleanor Goldfield, Art Killing Apathy. , , ,
In this third installment of the Deception 2020 Series, we dig into our so-called healthcare system – what would more appropriately be called our sickcare system. Yeah, the US has the ability to offer top notch care and medical support – but out of some 330 million people, how many have access to it? Then, we’re joined by Dr. Margaret Flowers for some more insight into this grossly unequal system, where the candidates stand and who those candidates even get to be!

Deception 2020: One Party, Two Flavors

October 27, 2020 Eleanor Goldfield, Art Killing Apathy. , , ,
In this second installment of the Deception 2020 Series, we dig into the so-called Two Party System in order to highlight the stark similarities that drive both the red and blue — namely, corporate power. Interestingly enough, Mussolini had a good quote on just this form of government… Then, we sit down with Nick Braña, National Coordinator for The Movement for a People’s Party, to talk about one alternative to the blue and red dumpster fires.

How Bolivia’s New Socialist Senator Resisted Coup Terror

October 27, 2020 Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton, The Grayzone. , , ,
Just a few days after the dramatic landslide victory on October 18 of the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party founded by Evo Morales, I traveled 3.5 hours from the Bolivian city of Cochabamba, with The Grazyone team of Ben Norton and Anya Parampil, to Chimoré, here in the tropical region of Cochabamba, that’s a base of support for the MAS party. We attended a gathering of regional party leadership, including the mayor of Chimoré; Senator-elect Leonardo Loza, who is filling the role of Evo Morales in the Senate; and Senator-elect Patricia Arce, who has become a symbol both of the terror and cruelty of the (Jeanine) Áñez coup regime and of the dramatic revitalization of her MAS party.

The Supremely Undemocratic Court

October 26, 2020 Eleanor Goldfield, Act Out! , ,
In this first installment of the Deception 2020 Series, we dig into that most supreme of undemocratic courts - just as Amy Coney Barrett looms over a smooth confirmation. Could the Democrats have stopped her? Then, we sit down with Dan Kovalik, human rights lawyer and author, for his take on the court, RBG, and more.
