To Save The Planet, We Must End Instruments Of Corporate Power

April 25, 2022

On April 10, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan was ousted in what is believed to be a US-backed soft coup. One of the likely reasons for the coup is that Khan was taking action to end excessive corporate power bestowed by bilateral trade agreements. Clearing the FOG speaks with Manuel Pérez-Rocha of the Institute for Policy Studies about Khan and how trade agreements function to force countries into allowing corporations to exploit their workers and devastate their environment. Pérez-Rocha explains why ending corporate abuse is essential to addressing the climate crisis and how trade could be structured to uphold human rights and protection of the planet. He also speaks about the risks of extraction for minerals that are required for a green economy.

The Nazification Of Ukraine And How The War Is Changing The World

April 18, 2022

In follow up to a two-hour webinar hosted by the United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC) with Scott Ritter, a former weapons inspector who blew the whistle on the lack of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq, Clearing the FOG continues the conversation on Ukraine. Ritter delves into how Nazis went from being a fringe group in Ukraine to being mainstreamed and treated as heroes. He explains the ways the conflict in Ukraine has ended the United States’ era of being a sole dominant global power and has exposed the weaknesses of both the US and NATO militaries. Ritter states that if the current conflict escalates to a nuclear war, it will mean the end of human civilization. Watch the original webinar, co-hosted by Margaret Flowers and Joe Lombardo here.

Lessons On Fighting Privatization From The Recent Postal Service Victory

April 4, 2022

Congress recently passed the Postal Service Reform Act – the result of 15 years of organizing to end the mandate to prefund 75 years worth of retirement benefits and other changes that were hurting the people’s post office. The new act opens the door to building on the current postal infrastructure to provide more services to people, especially in poor and rural communities. Clearing the FOG speaks with Chuck Zlatkin, the legislative and political director of the largest local postal worker union, about what the new law will do and how it was won. Zlatkin also discusses the fight over making the new postal fleet electric and Biden’s new nominees to the Board of Governors. Zlatkin warns us not to underestimate the Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who is playing a long game to privatize the postal service.

Michael Hudson: US Dollar Hegemony Ended Abruptly Last Wednesday

March 28, 2022

On Wednesday, March 23, 2022, the United States announced that it would freeze Russia’s access to its gold. Russia has the fifth highest amount of gold in the world. Economist Michael Hudson explains that this action, which follows the US seizing Venezuela and Afghanistan’s gold and assets, has effectively ended dollar hegemony, which has been in decline in recent years, and the free ride that the US has enjoyed abroad. Hudson states that we are now in uncharted territory as nothing like this has occurred in modern history. Sanctions on Russia are driving a shortage of fertilizer, which will lower food production and bring famine. Hudson predicts greater inflation, particularly for food and fuel, and shortages, which are all good for Wall Street profits, and more businesses being forced to close.

Venezuela: A Model Of Resistance To US Intervention

March 21, 2022

Unlike Ukraine, Venezuela successfully resisted the violent US-led coup attempt in 2014, and in other years, by right wing forces and the hybrid war being waged against it. Venezuela is recovering despite the ongoing economic blockade. Now, because the United States needs oil, the Biden administration has started talking to the Maduro government and there is hope that relations between the two countries may resume. For an update on this situation, as well as the future of Venezuela’s US-based oil company CITGO, the status of Venezuela’s gold in the Bank of London, the demise of Juan Guaido, and the kidnapping of Venezuelan diplomat, Alex Saab, Clearing the FOG speaks with Leonardo Flores, the Latin American campaign director for CODEPINK.

Conflict In Ukraine Used To Silence Voices Of Dissent In The United States

March 14, 2022

Clearing the FOG speaks with political comedian Lee Camp about the sudden de-platforming that happened to him when RT America abruptly shut down after the Russian military intervention in Ukraine last month. Camp lost his program Redacted Tonight that aired weekly for the past eight years, and he was kicked off of other platforms such as Spotify. Camp talks about the big picture of growing censorship, the state of the media and freedom of the press, and the assault on the public’s access to information that counters the narrative in the corporate media. Camp also discusses where we go from here to develop a democratized and independent media.

Ukraine Is A Pawn In The United States’ Fight To Prevent A Multipolar World

March 7, 2022

This week, Clearing the FOG speaks with Brian Becker, a leader of the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the host of The Socialist Program, for a socialist perspective of the war in Ukraine. Becker discusses why it was a mistake for Russia to invade and how it has shored up support for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) even though Russia has legitimate security concerns and the United States did not appear to be willing to stop provoking an invasion. He also talks about the real racism exposed by this war, the impact of the media misinformation campaign on people on the left and the current state of the extreme right wing fascist movement. Becker offers an important lens for viewing the conflict and understanding what to do about it.

Puerto Rico: March Of Indignation Against ‘Shakedown Plan’ Of More Austerity

February 14, 2022

Tens of thousands of teachers and other public workers have taken to the streets of San Juan, Puerto Rico in a March of Indignation to protest a debt restructuring plan given the green light by Judge Taylor Swain of New York. Puerto Ricans call it the “Shakedown Plan” because it will enforce more austerity on a land where disinvestment in education and health care and privatization of the energy system have already caused great hardship. A National Strike has been called for February 18. Clearing the FOG speaks with Monisha Rios, a Puerto Rican social worker and psychologist, about who and what are behind the protests. Rios discusses the PROMESA, an act passed in Congress, that put a financial oversight board in charge of the islands and that has violated the rights of Puerto Ricans to have a say in what is happening.

Monisha Rios, PhD, MSW (ella/she/her) is a Puerto Rican psychologist, social worker, and anti-imperialist veteran of the U.S. Army.  Since 2013, she has been investigating the American Psychological Association’s 104-year role in the weaponization and militarization of psychology in service to imperialism.  Monisha works to expose the psychological warfare component of U.S.-led hybrid warfare, with a special focus on the narratives used to destabilize Peoples’ movements toward liberation from capitalist-imperialist oppression in Latin America and the Caribbean.

What U.S.-based allies can do to support the strike and our long-term resistance: 

  • AFFIRM OUR SOVEREIGNTY
    • Use sovereignty-affirming language when discussing Puerto Rico within your groups, in statements, during actions, in articles, etc.
    • Help us counter the colonial narrative on PR, the weaponization of the term “self-determination” on the part of the US gov, Statehood lobby, and the pro-colonial US imperialist left – and the confusion/neglect it fosters within the peace movement by following the example of our sister nations in CELAC https://www.plenglish.com/news/2021/09/24/puerto-rican-pro-independence-champions-celebrate-celacs-support/
    • Frame the “relationship” between the US and PR as what is it – US interventionism through classical colonialism and neocolonialism. General discussions of US interventionism in LatAm are incomplete without mention of PR as an occupied sovereign nation.
  • LEARN MORE
    • Host “Eyes on Puerto Rico” cram sessions to help your org’s members get up to speed on PR politics, the status question, and the current events leading up to the strike.
    • Encourage a sustained focus on PR in your organizations, in conjunction with your other work on LatAm.
    • Learn about how U.S. hybrid warfare works in the context of PR. This pertains especially to the narratives on status, lawfare through PROMESA and economic warfare through the austerity measures/Jones Act, etc…
    • Follow @FMPRLucha, Defendiendo la Educación de Puerto Rico, Jornada Se Acabaron las Promesas, NY Boricua Resistance , A Call to Action on Puerto Rico, Bandera Roja, Carlos (independent journalist), Devilette, Bianca Graulau, Claridad, @RadioIslaTV, @ElNuevoDia, and Puerto Rican MSM. There are many other groups and accounts to follow for more info, but this is a start.
    • Follow these hashtags: #PROMESA #MarchaDeIndignación #SalarioDigno #LaGenteAntesDeLDeuda #PeopleBeforeProfit ##RetiroDigno #JusticiaSalarial #SolidaridadConElMagisterio #SalarioJusto #RetiroPaTodes #FueraLuma #PuertoRico #DefendPR #ParoNacional
  • AMPLIFY
    • Consider writing solidarity statements/articles from your orgs
    • If you are part of a journalist org, consider making regular space to cover PR
  • ACT
    • Connect with diaspora groups like A Call to Action on PR, Boricua Resistance, and others so that your groups can join them when they protest in the US. This is crucial support for us!
    • Between now and February 18, encourage your groups to partake in a social media campaign, posting photos of themselves with messages of support for our striking workers, messages against the debt, against the FOMB, against LUMA and HMS privatization, against the lack of hospital in Vieques, and so on. They can use the following hashtags: #SalarioDigno #LaGenteAntesDeLDeuda #PeopleBeforeProfit ##RetiroDigno #JusticiaSalarial #SolidaridadConElMagisterio #SalarioJusto #RetiroPaTodes #FueraLuma #PuertoRico #DefendPR #ParoNacional #HospitalParaViequesYA  #FueraHMS

Ajamu Baraka: ‘We Need To Demand The US Cease Operating As A Rogue State’

January 31, 2022

As the United States, with the aid of Western allies and the corporate media, escalates aggression toward Russia using Ukraine as the vehicle, it is necessary to take time to look at the bigger picture of the United States’ disregard for international law and the impact that is having globally as well as the push to expand NATO and how that is causing significant division within the alliance. Clearing the FOG speaks with Ajamu Baraka, a long time international human rights defender and the national organizer of the Black Alliance for Peace, about the United States as a rogue state and what that means for Black America. He also discusses the state of the antiwar movement in the US and the black misleadership class, plus what we need to be doing as US hegemony and the white supremacist-based American Exceptionalism that undergirds are being challenged.

Oahu Water Protectors Demand Navy Stop Poisoning Their Community

January 17, 2022

A World War II Era underground storage tank containing over 100 million gallons of jet fuel at the Red Hill Fuel Facility has been leaking into the aquifer that provides water to the people of Oahu. Until recently, the Navy denied there were leaks or that the water was unsafe despite multiple complaints of health problems and an oil sheen found in the tap water. Now, the Oahu Water Protectors have gained the Navy’s attention and that of local and state elected officials. Wayne Tanaka of the Sierra Club of Hawaii speaks with Clearing the FOG about the fuel facility, what is at stake and how they are organizing to hold the US Navy accountable and shut the facility down. He also discusses the bigger picture of the environmental destruction caused by the US Military and its occupation of Hawai’i.

More Than Ever, Food Not Bombs Needs To Become A Reality

January 10, 2022

Food Not Bombs was founded in 1980 to provide direct aid to people while educating about the perversion of spending so much on the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) while tens of millions of people do not have the basic necessities. It has turned into a global movement to build food sovereignty and organize systems outside the establishment. Clearing the FOG speaks with Keith McHenry, the co-founder of Food Not Bombs, about the criminalization of homelessness, their recent legal victory in Florida and why we must be concerned about increasing homelessness in the United States and the overall direction the country is going. McHenry speaks about his family ties to the founding of the military and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well as the violence he and others have experienced because of their activism.
