"The American Invasion" (1901) By Sir Christopher Furness An unabridged audiobook production of the short book written by shipping tycoon Sir Christopher Furness. This book captures the anxiety of early 20th-century Britain as it faced the rising economic power of the United States. Furness provides a firsthand account of the American industrial giant's rapid expansion, technological innovations, and the looming threat it posed to British industries. With insights drawn from his personal experiences and speeches, Furness explores America's industrial advantages, such as abundant natural resources, large-scale infrastructure projects, and a culture of innovation, while also reflecting on how Britain could maintain its global leadership. Forward by me, Justin Fortier. Links to come.

This is the incredible story of a Second World War shoot-out between black and white American soldiers in a quiet Cornish town that ended up putting the ‘special relationship' itself on trial. The subsequent court martial into what tabloids labelled a ‘wild west' mutiny became front page news in Great Britain and the USA. Three thousand miles across the Atlantic, it mirrored and bolstered a fast-accelerating civil rights movement. At home it caused Churchill himself ‘grave anxiety' while refracting an extraordinary truth about the real state of Anglo-American relations. For three long days the story raged before the turbulent war-torn world moved on and forgot forever amid ever-escalating D-Day preparations. This account of a shocking drama the authorities tried to hush up has been painstakingly pieced back together for the first time thanks to new archival research. When slotted into its unique context, extracted from wartime cabinet documents, secret government surveys, opinion polls, diaries, letters and newspapers as well as testimony from those who remember it, the story offers a rare and stunning window into a little-known dark side of the ‘American Invasion.' By breathing new life into a vanished trial, it reveals a rare and surprising insight into the wider story of how Britain reacted to soldiers of the Jim Crow army when they came to stay. Kate read this extract as part of the Cream of Cornwall event at North Cornwall Book Festival 2021.

John Burris, civil rights attorney, joins us to discuss the Derek Chauvin trial results. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering George Floyd. The jury deliberated for approximately one day, and found Chauvin guilty of all charges levied against him. Dr. Emmit Riley, political scientist and assistant professor of Africana Studies at DePauw University, joins us to discuss the Derek Chauvin trial. The discussion revolves around the current and long-term social and legal impact of the guilty finding. Is this example of police personnel testifying against a fellow officer a harbinger of things to come, or an anomaly that only happens in the most egregious examples of police misconduct?Mark Sleboda, a Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss Russian President Vladimir Putin's address to the Federal Assembly. Putin's address focused principally on domestic issues, such as the coronavirus response and the prospects for subsequent economic recovery. However, he also urged other nations to refrain from crossing Russia's geopolitical "red lines." Nick Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands, the American Invasion of Iraq," joins us to discuss Chinese President Xi's recent speech. Speaking virtually at the "Boao Forum for Asia," Xi's remarks that "no nation should dictate global rules or interfere in the internal affairs of other nations," was clearly directed towards the United States.Gerald Horne, professor of history at the University of Houston, author, historian, and researcher, joins us to discuss the America First Caucus. A movement for a GOP-led "America First" caucus in Congress is flailing, as major pushback has occurred shortly after its manifesto was revealed. The document has the appearance of a cookie-cutter GOP policy platform with a sprinkle of Trump-style right-wing populism. Chris Hedges, author, speaker, and investigative journalist, joins us to discuss his latest article "The Unraveling of the American Empire." Hedges argues that the pattern of stumbling from one military debacle to another is a sign of a crumbling empire. He sees Afghanistan as "one in a string of catastrophic military blunders that herald the death of the American empire." Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss Israel's attempts to stop the US from returning to the Iran nuclear deal. Israel's recent moves have been brilliantly countered by Iran in a dangerous chess game that has left America's Middle East proxy with few options. Iran's latest move to enrich uranium at 60% in response to Israel's attack on their Natanz nuclear facility has made it more important for the US to return to the agreement.Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and co-founder of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, joins us to discuss Caitlin Johnston's latest article on the CIA's influence on the media. Johnstone argues that the CIA no longer needs to infiltrate or influence the media because most of the media partners directly with the nefarious organization.

John Burris, civil rights attorney, joins us to discuss the shooting of Daunte Wright. Tense times continue in Minneapolis, as pepper spray and rubber bullets fly and 60 people are arrested. Also, Washington County attorney Pete Orput has been charged with handling the decision of potential prosecutions to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest.Mark Sleboda, a Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss the phone call between President Putin and Biden. President Putin outlined a political settlement for the current military crisis in Ukraine. Putin's position is that the settlement should be rooted in the "Minsk package of measures."Julie Varughese, Solidarity Network Coordinator for the Black Alliance for Peace, joins us to discuss Afghanistan. President Biden has stated that US troops will leave Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. While there is some level of jubilation amongst anti-war activists, there is also great trepidation over the possibility of this move turning out to be a tactic for further delay. Also, the Taliban has announced that they will not attend any peace talks until US troops no longer occupy their nation.Dr. Yolandra Hancock, board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist, joins us to discuss the current state of covid vaccination. The US' unofficial covid czar Dr. Anthony Fauci advises that he sees similarities between clotting issues that have arisen as a result of both the AstroZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. Also, increasing reports of side effects are slowing the world vaccine drive.Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss Iran. Iran has announced that they intend to enrich uranium to 60% by next week, in response to a recent terrorist attack by Israel. Also, Secretary of Defense and former Raytheon board member Loyd Austin advised Israel that the United States will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.Kweku Lamumba, external relations coordinator for KOSSSA, joins us to discuss Haiti. Haiti prime minister Joseph Jouthe has resigned, as the island nation has devolved into chaos over the illegal extension in office of US-backed president Jovenel Moise. As Jouthe is a supporter of Moise, opposition figures are asking if this is an example of rats jumping off a sinking ship or possibly offering him as a sacrifice in hopes of appeasing the opposition? Nicholas Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands: the American Invasion of Iraq," joins us to discuss US weapons sales. The US State Department has announced that they intend to move forward with the Trump administration's deal to sell 23 billion dollars in arms to the United Arab Emirates. The deal was crafted by the Trump foreign policy team as a sweetener for the agreement to normalize relations with Israel.Dan Lazare, investigative journalist and author of "America's Undeclared War," joins us to discuss US endless wars. In a detailed article in Newsweek, William M. Arkin writes that America can't stop its endless wars. He articulates in detail the development of a US war infrastructure that has made ongoing military conflict an integral part of our economic and political reality. He also explains how the US has developed methods for fighting war without the need for troops on the ground in targeted nations.

Margaret Kimberley, editor and senior columnist at the Black Agenda Report and author of "Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents," joins us to discuss the Republican struggles to hold off various angry factions of their political coalition. Freshman Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene faces strong opposition from Democrats for comments related to physical violence on other House members, while Rep. Liz Cheney faces internal opposition for her support of the Trump impeachment article. Steve Dear, acting executive director for "People of Faith Against the Death Penalty," joins us to discuss the death penalty in Virginia. The Virginia Senate passed a bill that ends the death penalty in the state if passed by the Virginia House of Delegates and signed by the governor. At one time, execution was the punishment for crimes including stealing grapes, killing chickens and trading with Indigenous people. Proponents of the bill argue that the states that had a higher number of lynchings also tend to have higher support for the death penalty. There are currently two people on death row in the state, and their sentences would be changed to life without parole if the legislation passes.Jamarl Thomas, host of Fault Lines on Radio Sputnik, joins us to discuss YouTube censorship. Thomas' YouTube show, "The Progressive Soapbox," was recently demonetized along with numerous other left-leaning channels. The hosts were given little, if any, reasons and monies owed are being held by the online behemoth Google. Thomas discusses how online censorship is growing in size and scope.Jim Kavanagh, writer at The Polemicist and CounterPunch, joins us to discuss the use of a surveillance plane on civilians. Officials in St. Louis, Missouri, are considering the use of an aerial surveillance system that would capture footage of the entire city for 18 hours per day. The proposal is meeting fierce resistance as opponents of the move argue that it is a dramatic infringement on the privacy rights of citizens. The city of Baltimore in Maryland recently stopped using the technology specifically because of residents' privacy concerns and court action by the ACLU.Nick Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands, the American Invasion of Iraq," joins us to talk about the bottomless pit of US sanctions. Davies talks about a New York Times report that many of US President Joe Biden's aides believe the US is "sanctioned out" when it comes to Russia. Also, South Korea is arguing that further sanctions against its northern neighbor would be counterproductive, as Biden is considering sanctions against the Myanmar government after a recent coup. Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the antiwar organization Code Pink joins us to talk about the decline of the American empire. A Salon article by Benjamin and Nick Davies argues that the US is a "decadent, declining empire stumbling blindly into an agonizing death spiral." They discuss the effect of the global pandemic on the empire and how it has exposed the inherent weaknesses of a nation trying to rule the world as it is unable to protect its own people. Also, Benjamin and Davies discuss the destructive nature of the US war machine on both world affairs and the US economy. Caleb Maupin, a journalist and political analyst, joins us to discuss the long-term relationship between Iran and the US. In another show of strength and resolve, Iran's diplomatic representatives have made it clear they are unwilling to renegotiate the 2015 nuclear deal. Also, Maupin reviews the historic relationship between the US and Iran, and how the Islamic Republic has opposed and pushed back against US imperialism. Marvin Weinbaum, a scholar-in-residence and director of the Middle East Institute's Center for Pakistan and Afghanistan Studies, joins us to discuss Afghanistan. The Afghanistan peace process is in tatters and the Biden administration appears to be opposed to ending the 20-year military engagement. Unsurprisingly, a recently released congressional report called for US troops to remain in the war-torn nation. The group responsible for the report was headed by former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff retired Gen. Joseph Dunford. The 15-member panel was created by Congress in 2019 when the Trump administration was in withdrawal negotiations with the Taliban.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has vowed to impeach US President Donald Trump less than two weeks before he leaves office.Dr. Clarence Lusane, author, activist and political science professor at Howard University, returns to talk about the aftermath of last week's Capitol Hill breach of the congressional complex. Pelosi has vowed to impeach Trump, as Republican members of Congress struggle with a response. Also, Sens. Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) have called for the president to resign.Niko House, political activist, independent journalist and podcaster, returns to The Critical Hour to discuss the recent spate of online social media bans. Trump has been permanently banned from Twitter, as have his lawyer Sidney Powell and recently the pardoned Michael Flynn. Also, Edward Snowden has released a statement warning that this move sets a dangerous precedent.Danny Sjursen, retired US Army major and author of "Patriotic Dissent: America in the Age of Endless War," joins us to discuss his recent article on US President-elect Joe Biden's selection of Victoria Nuland as undersecretary of state for political affairs. In the article, Sjursen reviews a number of the Biden nominees and explains how the selection of this group demonstrates the hawkish nature of the Biden foreign policy worldviewElisabeth Myers, lawyer, former editor-in-chief of Inside Arabia and democracy lead for Democrats Abroad, joins us to discuss the Trump administration's plan to designate the Houthi movement in Yemen as a terrorist organization. After almost six years of the worst humanitarian crisis on earth, humanitarian groups and international diplomats are concerned that this could complicate efforts to broker a peace agreement. Many political analysts believe that this is another effort to complicate potential moves by the Biden administration to mediate an end to the conflict. Nick Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands, the American Invasion and Destruction of Iraq," joins us to discuss new domestic terrorism legislation proposed by the incoming Biden administration. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has written a document outlining its opposition to proposed legislation that will allegedly address instances of domestic terrorism. Civil liberties advocates have compared the timing and introduction of this legislation to the Patriot Act being rolled out immediately after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Jareth Copus, author of "Ukraine: Forever a Pawn," joins us to discuss Biden's past dealings in Ukraine and his proposed foreign policy team. Copus utilizes his expertise on the eastern European nation to evaluate whether the anti-Russian hawks in the incoming Biden administration are likely to adjust course. Also, he discusses recent nominee Victoria Nuland and her contributions to the 2014 Maidan coup.KJ Noh, peace activist, writer and teacher, joins us to discuss China. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said over the weekend that he was lifting the US' "self-imposed restrictions" on contacts between its officials and their Taiwanese counterparts, which is likely to further strain relations between Washington and Beijing in the final days of the Trump administration. This announcement seems designed to complicate foreign policy matters for the incoming Biden team. Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and co-founder of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, joins us to discuss the latest on WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange. "UK judge Vanessa Baraitser justified CIA spying on Julian Assange by citing a falsehood-filled CNN report," according to a recent article in The Grayzone. Her judgment demonstrates the incestuous relationship between the media and the state. Also, Biden has selected William Burns, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, to head the CIA.

Dr. Jack Rasmus, professor in the Economics and Politics Departments at St. Mary's College of California, joins us to discuss the United States Congress' failure to provide an economic stimulus bill for the US economy. Rasmus argues that the CARES Act and all subsequent economic, legislative moves have been temporary mitigation actions and that we are heading into a disastrous economic downturn. He estimates that some 25 million Americans are out of work. Rasmus says that the blame lies squarely with legislative leaders for failing to act boldly and decisively. Our hosts, Dr. Wilmer Leon and Garland Nixon, review the Hunter Biden and Russiagate investigations' current state. They talk about US Attorney General Bill Barr's history as a CIA analyst and operative, and how he sees little possibility that either investigation will continue after appointees of US President-elect Joe Biden take power at the Department of Justice.Nick Davies, peace activist and author of Blood on Our Hands, the American Invasion of Iraq, joins us to discuss an article written by Ann Garrison in which she discusses her concerns about the selection of Samantha Power to be the head of the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Power's history is filled with support for regime-change operations and general meddling in the affairs of sovereign nations.Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations and security analyst, returns to discuss the annual news conference of Russian President Vladimir Putin, which took place on Thursday. Additionally, the UK-based website Bellingcat is being cited by numerous Western media outlets as a credible source for recent assertions regarding the alleged poisoning of Alexei Navalny with Novichok. Sleboda discusses the facts of the case and the newest allegations.Dan Lazare, investigative journalist and author of "The Velvet Coup," joins us to talk about a recent article in The Nation magazine that argues that US President Donald Trump is a symptom of America's downfall. Dan discusses the reality that war-making policy has completely shifted from the constitutionally prescribed authority of the US Congress to secret cabals within the Pentagon's bowels, the intelligence agencies-State Department complex and unelected appointees from shady think tanks. Taylor Hudak, editor of acTVism Munich and co-founder of Action4Assange, joins our hosts to discuss recent recordings that have surfaced from James O'Keefe's Project Veritas. The project reveals that WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange contacted the State Department in 2011 and notified it that 250,000 diplomatic cables had been stolen from WikiLeaks and may be released soon. Assange advised the department to take mitigating actions to protect personnel because the necessary redactions and precautions may not have been taken by the thief.Caleb Maupin, journalist and political analyst, joins us to discuss recent Chinese advances in space technology. The Chang'e 5 mission involved sending a spacecraft to the moon, retrieving lunar samples and safely returning those samples to earth. China is planning to launch at least four manned spacecraft over the next two years in a series of 11 total launches to build a space station. Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector in Iraq, returns to discuss an International Rescue Committee report detailing the most pressing humanitarian crises of 2020. Not surprisingly, the most disastrous and pressing issues are all directly related to US wars and regime-change efforts. Yemen, Afghanistan and Syria top the list, as suffering from disease, violence and US economic sanctions are creating dire circumstances and costing tens of thousands of lives yearly.

Dr. Linwood Tauheed, associate professor of economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, joins us to discuss the coming change of power in the United States, as the Electoral College has met and certified the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Additionally, a Monday New York Times article asserts that executives at CNN and MSNBC are concerned that the networks' ratings may plunge dramatically in a future without Trump. One on-air personality for MSNBC is reported to have asked, "What happens when you don't need us?"Jim Kavanagh, writer at The Polemicist and CounterPunch, returns to The Critical Hour to talk about recent rumors that Trump may pardon Edward Snowden. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on Sunday advocated in a tweet that Snowden receive a pardon. The organization was immediately attacked on social media from the angle of identity politics for not including a call for Reality Winner to be pardoned. The crew also discusses the importance of having a pardon for Julian Assange in the conversation. Professor Danny Shaw, author, activist and professor of Latin American studies, joins us to discuss the Venezuelan election outcome. In a surprising move, just "a few days after the December 6 election, two-time opposition presidential candidate Henrique Capriles gave an interview to BBC, where he asked the United States to drop its backing of Juan Guaidó," according to a Tuesday article in CounterPunch. Opposition leader angst over harsh US sanctions is having the opposite effect intended by US and EU proponents of regime change. Dr. Yolandra Hancock, board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist, joins us to talk about a frightening health issue arising in the United Kingdom. A new strain of the coronavirus may have characteristics that cause it to be more infectious. Recent infection rates in parts of England are causing concern, and scientists are working to find out if this new variant is a contributing factor. "The new variant, which UK scientists have named 'VUI – 202012/01,' includes a mutation in the viral genome region encoding the spike protein, which - in theory - could result in COVID-19 spreading more easily between people," Reuters reported Tuesday.Robert Fantina, journalist and Palestine activist, returns to The Critical Hour to discuss the future of the Iran nuclear agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). While US President-elect Joe Biden's foreign policy team has indicated that they are open to returning to the deal, they have also implied that they see it as a bridge to further negotiations. However, the Iranians have announced that they are open to immediately rejoining the agreement under the original terms and have no intentions to extend talks. Also, a coalition of 50 retired generals, former secretaries of defense, diplomats and lawmakers from across the spectrum are urging Biden in an open letter to swiftly rejoin the JCPOA when he takes office in January.Nicolas Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands, the American Invasion of Iraq," talks with our hosts about a John Pilger article in Consortium News, in which he contends that war is a much more lethal virus than COVID-19. Pilger reviews the damage that the coronavirus has caused and then looks at the money that is being spent on war and how it has left neoliberal societies broke and unable to address any such health crisis. Pilger's contention is supported by the recent passing of a defense bill in the US Congress that allocated $740 billion for the Pentagon when lawmakers have been unable to come to a consensus for economic relief for the American public.Ted Rall, political cartoonist and syndicated columnist, returns to discuss the current status of coronavirus relief and stimulus in the US Congress. Despite months of negotiations, the Republican Party seems determined to provide as little relief as possible, and the Democratic Party has lost considerable ground. In rejecting previous GOP offers before the presidential election, the Democrats have lost leverage and appear poised to accept a fraction of the sum contained in their original deals. Kevin Gosztola, journalist, author and documentary filmmaker, returns to discuss whether the national security agencies are in charge of US foreign policy. They review Jacob Hornberger's recent article discussing that question and the book "National Security and Double Government," by Michael J. Glennon. Hornberger argues that it is the national security establishment that is in charge of the federal government. Our guest discusses Trump's initial attacks on traditional US foreign policy and the disastrous blowback from intelligence agencies.

Nicolas "Sandy" Davies is a freelance writer, a researcher for CODEPINK and the author of Blood On Our Hands: the American Invasion and Destruction of Iraq. We discuss the article he wrote with Medea Benjamin, "Will Biden's America Stop Creating Terrorists?"

Margaret Flowers, pediatrician, health reform activist and co-director at Popular Resistance, joins us to discuss Thursday's day-long meeting of the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Independent Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, at which officials examined whether Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine should be approved for public use in the US.Jack Rasmus, professor of economics and politics at St. Mary's College of California, returns to talk about the US Labor Department numbers that came out Thursday showing that jobless claims jumped to 853,000 last week, up more than 100,000 from the preceding week as COVID-19 continues to hamper the economy.Chris Garaffa, web developer and Technologist, joins us to discuss the US Federal Trade Commission and more than 40 states suing Facebook in an antitrust case, saying the company had bought out its competition to corner the market. According to the New York Times, the plaintiffs "called for the deals to be unwound, escalating regulators' battle against the biggest tech companies in a way that could remake the social media industry." Federal and state regulators "said in separate lawsuits that Facebook's purchases, especially Instagram for $1 billion in 2012 and WhatsApp for $19 billion two years later, eliminated competition that could have one day challenged the company's dominance." This comes as YouTube has moved to ban videos that claim fraud influenced the 2020 US presidential election.Dave Lindorff, investigative reporter and founder of This Can't Be Happening!, joins us to discuss the federal investigation into US President-elect Joe Biden's son Hunter, who said Wednesday that he had been contacted about an investigation into his taxes by the US Attorney's Office in Delaware. A Wednesday article in Politico says that a person with "firsthand knowledge of the investigation" claims that the probe has been "more extensive" than Hunter's statement indicates. "The person said that, as of early last year, investigators in Delaware and Washington were also probing potential money laundering and Hunter Biden's foreign ties," the outlet noted. A recent report by the Associated Press also found a number of sexual misconduct allegations against senior FBI officials in the last five years, with those individuals being allowed to transfer or resign with full benefits and no criminal charges against them.Alfred de Zayas, professor of international law at the Geneva School of Diplomacy, former secretary of the UN Human Rights Committee and Former UN independent expert on international order, joins us to discuss the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to drop a probe into actions by British forces in Iraq, despite evidence of war crimes. According to a Wednesday article in Common Dreams, the decision was blasted by the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) General Secretary Wolfgang Kaleck, who said it "reinforces longstanding double standards in international justice and shows once again that powerful actors can get away with systematic torture." Kaleck also noted that the decision "is a severe blow to Iraqi torture survivors." Nick Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands, the American Invasion of Iraq," joins Dr. Wilmer Leon to discuss a MintPress News story entitled "John Kerry's Think Tank Calls for War With Russia Over Climate Change." Kerry, who was recently appointed as the Biden team's special presidential envoy for climate and who is a founding member of the American Security Project think tank, was quoted as saying, "America will soon have a government that treats the climate crisis as the urgent national security threat it is." The organization was quoted in the article as saying, "NATO faces a severe military challenge in the European Arctic area of operation. ... The US military should actively participate in Arctic joint exercises, and publicize US military deployments to the region, with particular focus on the Russian border – perhaps by returning the US Marine deployment to Norway."Marjorie Cohn, professor of law at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, California and a former president of the National Lawyers Guild, joins us to discuss a Consortium News article which said, "The United Nations' top official on torture Tuesday called on British authorities to release or place under house arrest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange" during his US extradition trail proceedings. Nils Meizer, UN special rapporteur on torture, cited a report saying that "some 65 of the 165 inmates at Belmarsh, including numerous prisoners in the wing where Assange is jailed, have tested positive for coronavirus." He called Assange's imprisonment "arbitrary deprivation of liberty" that has "severely violated" the journalist's human rights.Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, joins us to discuss Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's remarks that Iran will return to its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal if other countries do the same. According to Al Jazeera, "Following the assassination of nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh outside Tehran last month, the Iranian parliament, dominated by conservatives and hardliners, quickly passed a bill that aims to increase uranium enrichment and expel inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The Rouhani administration has explicitly said it opposes the legislation and was not consulted in its drafting."

Dr. Emmitt Riley, political scientist and assistant professor of Africana studies at DePauw University, joins us to discuss the election issues going on in Georgia. Trump is attacking the Republican governor for refusing to join the president in his effort to overturn the election results. Many in the GOP fear this might cause a deep party rift that could affect voter turnout for Georgia's critical Senate runoff races in January. Daniel Lazare, investigative journalist and author of "The Velvet Coup"; and Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, join us to talk about recent events involving Israel's apparent assassination of an Iranian scientist. While this dramatic action seems intended to provoke a military response, Iran is signaling that it will not take the bait and respond violently. Also, Israeli actions seem to be empowering hardliners in Iran who prefer a more robust military response to violations of Iran's sovereignty. Ajamu Baraka, former US vice-presidential candidate for the Green Party, joins us to discuss some of the new picks for Joe Biden's potential Cabinet. Biden on Monday nominated Neera Tanden to head the Office of Management and Budget. Tanden has previously supported reducing Social Security benefits and floated the idea of seizing the oil of nations that the US invades to pay down the national debt. Also, the mainstream media has been fawning over the Biden picks as opposed to providing an unbiased review. KJ Noh, peace activist, writer, and teacher, joins us to discuss the powerhouse Chinese technology company Huawei. The employee-owned company is enjoying tremendous success, and many believe that its success using an alternative business model is viewed as a threat to US global dominance. Also, we discuss a recent Ted Galen article at Antiwar.com that refers to US policy towards Taiwan as a "ticking time bomb." Dr. Yolandra Hancock, board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist, returns to discuss reports of a recent meeting in which Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, discussed the timeline for distributing a COVID-19 vaccine. Also, officials are extremely concerned about US hospital capacity as the number of COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization rises dramatically. Elisabeth Myers, attorney and former editor-in-chief of Inside Arabia, returns to discuss the Saudi Arabian war on Yemen. Over 80 progressive organizations are pressing the incoming Biden administration to discontinue support for the war, HuffPost reported Monday. Additionally, in his latest MintPress News article, Ahmed Abdulkareem talks about the Trump administration showering Saudi Arabia with weapons and diplomatic cover as they leave power. Nicolas Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands, the American Invasion and Destruction of Iraq," returns to discuss the upcoming elections in Venezuela. As the United States tries to interfere by influencing opposition forces to boycott the elections, those same forces are fracturing due to infighting. Additionally, he reviews a Branko Marcetic story in Jacobin magazine about the CIA's covert war on the left.Dr. Linwood Tauheed, associate professor of economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, joins our hosts to talk about reports that 12 million people in the US are scheduled to lose unemployment benefits the day after Christmas. Between the loss of benefits and a wave of evictions, America is on the verge of an economic catastrophe. Dr. Tauheed carefully outlines the economic moves needed to fend off such a disaster.

October 2020 was the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteers' going abroad to fight America and aid Korea. First and foremost, I have to clarify a  misconception about the Korean War. The war ended in a stalemate or a draw between the North and South Korea. But China won the war without question, why? When China joined the war, the American led “United Nations” troops were almost at the Chinese-Korean Border at the northernmost part of the Korean peninsula. When the armistice was signed three years later, the Chinese troops had pushed the American troops southwards for several hundred kilometers in the 38th parallel, the border that exists to this day. In other words, not only did Chinese troops stop American troops from taking over the entire Korean peninsula, but also defeated and drove them back southwards and held that position despite repeated American counter-attacks. The significance of this victory cannot be overstated.China Explained will show you that because of China's continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process. The inevitable rise of China may feel intimidating and some simply reject it. Don't be. China's rise is part of the new global trend unlike what we have seen in the past one hundred years.

Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, joins us to discuss how Biden's team has made contact with world leaders, yet in late 2016, the FBI investigated Flynn "when he was a transition official for the possible 'crime' of talking to Russia about foreign policy," as Glenn Greenwald wrote in a Tuesday article.Dr. Yolandra Hancock, board-certified pediatrician and wellness expert, joins us to discuss the bleak outlook for COVID-19 infections in the US. As an example, the Washington Post reported Tuesday, "In North Dakota, health care workers with asymptomatic cases of the coronavirus will be allowed to keep working as the number of infected patients outstrips the staff members needed to care for them, the governor said this week."Jamarl Thomas, co-host of Radio Sputnik's Fault Lines, joins us to discuss both US political parties' "anti-democratic hijinks," as a November 6 MintPress News article calls them. The piece notes that "the bipartisan foreign policy establishment cheers on anti-democratic action abroad but frowns upon it at home."Ted Rall, political cartoonist and syndicated columnist, joins us to discuss the Democratic party's attacks on progressive lawmakers. "Within hours of the media's declaration that Joe Biden had won the presidential election, the Democratic Party launched a vicious attack against its so-called 'left' wing, represented most prominently by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez," the World Socialist Web Site reported Monday.George Koo, journalist, social activist, international business consultant and chemical engineer, joins us to discuss his Sunday op-ed in the Asia Times. It's entitled, "Biden must avoid lose-lose confrontation with China," and the subhead notes, "The failures of Trump's China policies are obvious, and the way out for his Oval Office successor is just as clear."Nicolas Davis, Author of "Blood on Our Hands, the American Invasion of Iraq, joins us to discuss a Wednesday article in CounterPunch entitled "Will the Biden Team Be Warmongers or Peacemakers?" The article states, "People all over this pandemic-infested, war-torn and poverty-stricken world were shocked by the brutality and racism of the Trump administration, and are anxiously wondering whether Biden's presidency will open the door to the kind of international cooperation that we need to confront the serious problems facing humanity in this century."Dr. Linwood Tauheed, associate professor of Economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, joins us to discuss what lies ahead for the new Biden presidency. Even with US President Donald Trump's defeat in the election, "state and local governments face brutal cuts to vital public services like education and health care," Jacobin reported Tuesday. Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, joins us to discuss the Libya Arms Embargo. "In a November 10 letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) said the Trump administration had taken 'few concrete steps' to enforce the ban on providing weapons to Libya's warring parties and urged the United States to impose sanctions on those who violate arms trade restrictions," the Washington Post reported Tuesday.

Nicolas Davies joins the show for an update on the situation in Bolivia, where President Evo Morales was forced to flee the country last year after allegations that his party fixed the elections to give him another term. Davies argues that the elections probably were fair after all, but at the time these allegations were enough to set in motion a military coup that saw the installation of an interim government more aligned with America’s interests. Interim President Jeanine Áñez twice delayed a promised round of new elections, prompting widespread protests from Bolivian citizens. When elections were finally held, Morales’ party took back power in a landslide victory, which Davies considers a clear repudiation of what amounted to a Western-backed coup attempt last year. He says that the United States government must stop trying to interfere this way all over the world if it wants to maintain any of its former credibility as a beacon of freedom and democracy.

Scott talks to Nicolas Davies about America’s continuing role in the war in Yemen. Although the Trump administration has ended some of the more direct involvement like mid-air refueling of Saudi bombers, Saudi Arabia still very much relies on our help to wage its war against the people of Yemen, not least because of the fact that all of their weapons and equipment come from the U.S. Scott reminds us that Trump could end this war with a single phone call. Davies also describes Congress’ efforts to stop American support for the war, all of which Trump has stymied.

Trayce Redd, activist and organizer, joins us to discuss the grand jury in the police killing of Breonna Taylor which found that the two officers who fired their weapons at Taylor were justified in using force to protect themselves after they faced gunfire from her boyfriend. The only charges were three counts of wanton endangerment against fired Officer Brett Hankison for shooting into a home next to Taylor’s with people inside. Activists across the country are outraged to say the least, taking to the streets in several US cities including New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Philadelphia. Protests in Louisville continued well into the evening despite city officials putting in place a 9 pm curfew.Alexander Mercouris, Editor in Chief at theduran.com & host of "The Duran" on Youtube, joins us to discuss some highlights and lowlights from the UN assembly.

 We ended our last episode in September 1812,  just before Georgia Militia Colonel Daniel Newnan prepared to lead an attack on the Seminole Indian settlement called Paynestown in the fertile Alachua region of north central Florida.This episode picks up as Newnan departs to find, fix, and destroy the Seminole and win some booty for his troops in the process. With us again to explain it all is Doctor James Cusick. As we have mentioned, Doctor Cusick wrote about this in The Other War of 1812: The Patriot War and the American Invasion of Spanish East Florida.Newnan sought retribution against the Seminole for, well, we are not clear precisely why. Was it because the Seminole backed the Spanish government in Saint Augustine rather than maintain neutrality against the illegal Patriot invasion? Was it because they felt humiliated from an attack by Black militia and Black Maroon Seminoles? Although the attackers did don Indian war paint, the Alachua Seminoles were not part of or behind that attack. Maybe they just thought that as a Spanish ally, the Seminole would be easy mark to whom they could “teach a lesson” -- since they could not get inside the Spanish-held garrison at the Castillo de San Marcos.   Artist rendering of Newnan's breastwork under siege in September 1812It is not as if a persuasive justification was needed. The Patriots were mostly land-hungry Georgians posing as Floridians who were disgruntled with Spanish rule. They sought an imagined reason or none at all to stoke an uprising so they could declare a Republic and obtain American recognition for evicting the Spanish. The Alachua band of Seminole Indians resided on a main trading route close to Saint Augustine and who possibly -- the Georgia militia was not sure -- had wealth to pillage and plunder.Thus, did events bring Georgians -- and by extension, Americans as a whole – into their first large-scale encounter with the feisty Alachua Seminole Indians. Although Newnan’s raid itself was ill-fated – it almost became Newnan’s massacre with his force wiped out – it did expose to the Georgians the Seminole’s rich and fertile grazing and farming land. This "first contact" discovery would, pardon the expression, plant the seed for a return later to take possession of this territory, with or without Seminole consent. The raid became a pivotal, and perhaps inaugural, battle that ushered in a half century of contention and conflict between the United States and the many bands and tribes comprising the Seminole Indians of Florida. These wars ultimately left the Seminole battered severely, partially removed to Oklahoma, but unconquered in Florida when it was all over.George Militia Colonel Daniel Newnan State Marker for Newnan's Raid in Alachua County  Marker from Daughters of the American Revolution to Newnan's Raid  Host Patrick Swan is a board member with the Seminole Wars Foundation.

To explain how the Patriot War set the stage for an early military showdown between American forces and Seminole Indians, one that would chart the course of US-Seminole relations in Florida for the next half century, is James G. Cusick. Dr. Cusick is the author of The Other War of 1812: The Patriot War and the American Invasion of Spanish East Florida. He is the curator of the P. K. Yonge Library of Florida at the University of Florida, a research associate with the Saint Augustine Historical Society, and a former board member and officer of the Seminole Wars Foundation, producer of this podcast.  In March of 1812, on the eve of a major war with Great Britain, the United States became embroiled in a military incursion with Spain on its southern doorstep, in Spanish East Florida. Called the Patriot War, the Georgia militia "assisted" local English-speaking Floridians (e.g., "Patriots") in laying siege to Saint Augustine. They occupied nearby Spanish towns and forts in an attempt to seize East Florida from Spain by force. The US Government's special envoy to the Seminole, a retired Georgia governor, George Mathews, sought to keep them neutral in any conflict between the Patriots and Spain. This covert and unjustified military occupation of Spanish territory destroyed livestock and countless homesteads, The "Patriots" claimed to have established a free republic in East Florida. They drafted and approved a constitution, and called for US annexation. All that remained for success was for Spain to surrender her garrison at the Castillo de San Marcos in Saint Augustine.That surrender never took place. Spain steadfastly held out. The Alachua Seminole ultimately decided to back the Spanish, concluding that while the Spanish would not seek to encroach upon their lands, the Americans, in contrast, likely would, soon or later. Mathews' black interpreter, a slave called Tony Proctor, had escaped his servitude and sought refuge with the Seminole. He confirmed their worst suspicions about the Americans ultimate designs upon their territory. Soon after, as British-aligned Spain vigorously protested this illegal occupation to the Madison Administration, the Patriot's Mission: Impossible began to falter. With America on the cusp of war with Great Britain, and seeking to avoid a two-front conflict, the Madison Administration denied any culpability for the so-called Patriot's conduct. It refused to support or recognize the fledgling Patriot Republic.Nevertheless, the United States feared Britain might use the port of its Spanish ally at Saint Augustine to land an invasion force against Georgia. So, Madison, as a deterrent to Britain, dispatched the U.S. Army to occupy captured Spanish East Florida posts in place of the Patriots. Spain stayed neutral. Soon, Patriot military forces began to withdraw in quiet ignominy.Spain's stubborn defense raised the Georgians’ ire. But what they really found intolerable was the Spanish use of black troops to defend Florida from outside its Saint Augustine military garrison. These forces clashed with the Georgians on Sept. 9, 1812 when a war party of Free Black militia and Black Maroon Seminoles, dressed as Indians, boldly attacked and destroyed the storehouses at the Patriot outpost at Picolata on the St. Johns River. This, despite the presence of 250 Georgia Volunteer soldiers. A humiliation such as this would simply have to be avenged. Host Patrick Swan is a board member with the Seminole Wars Foundation.

Mexico and the United States tend to remember their 1847 conflict, and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo very differently. More than 500 thousand square miles of land - which became California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming - became American property. To this day, generally speaking, Mexicans still consider the land unjustly stolen. On the other hand, many Americans still might claim the land was righteously obtained. While art was a powerful tool for convincing American people that conquering the frontier and claiming Mexico's territory was America's divine destiny, art remains an important means for remembering the conflict for both sides. https://www.artesmexut.org/part8
