*I was invited to friend of the show Ben Norton's Multipolarista to discuss Wag the Dog, an excellent, somewhat forgotten political satire of US media and war.* The 1997 Hollywood film "Wag the Dog" perfectly predicted the propaganda tactics the US government and media would use decades later in its wars in Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and beyond. In this special joint episode, Multipolarista host Benjamin Norton is joined by Sina Rahmani of The East Is a Podcast to discuss the movie and how shockingly relevant it still is today.

Japan's longest serving prime minister, Shinzo Abe tried to rewrite the genocidal history of the fascist Japanese empire. And he and his Nazi-collaborating grandfather enjoyed staunch Western support. After World War II, the US government pardoned and recruited many of the fascists who had led imperial Japan, like Abe's grandfather Nobusuke Kishi, putting in power war criminals who had committed genocide in China, Korea, and Southeast Asia, carrying out biological warfare, human experimentation, and mass sexual slavery. Benjamin Norton discusses how Japan's political system still today is a one-party right-wing regime run by descendants of these fascist war criminals.

Multipolarista host Benjamin Norton and journalist Robbie Martin discuss how neoconservative US imperialists like Fox News host Tucker Carlson (a CIA applicant) and Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis cynically tried to rebrand as "right-wing populists," while pushing war on China, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, and Palestine. These bogus "populists" portrayed Donald Trump as an "anti-war" president, while he killed top Iranian and Iraqi officials, imposed suffocating sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela, waged a hybrid war on China, bombed the hell out of Afghanistan, expanded the war on Yemen, strongly supported apartheid Israel and Saudi Arabia, militarily occupied Syria and Iraq to take their oil, and tore up arms control agreements with Russia.

As is the case with any war, the war in Ukraine is being fought on many fronts: in the streets, in the financial realm, and in the media. The battle over information about the war itself, how it started, and who is most at fault (and what their motivations are) is a critical factor shaping how governments and citizens around the world respond to the unfolding conflict. In this panel, TRNN contributor Radhika Desai speaks with Benjamin Norton and Daniel Haiphong about Western media's coverage of the war, corporate media's complicity in fomenting conflict and feeding the military-industrial complex, and about what critical media literacy tools people can develop to better navigate the fog of war.Benjamin Norton is a journalist, writer, and filmmaker based in Latin America.

Update on Steven Donziger's incarceration. A rightwing ideologue who helped prosecute Donziger on behalf of Chevron is now being appointed by Biden to be a judge on a federal circuit court. A simple country billionaire doesn't know what all the fuss is about with wealth and resources being concentrated in the hands of a few people. The Grayzone has lost an amazing reporter in Benjamin Norton (who is carrying on with a new project called Multipolarista), likely due to disagreements about the pandemic. Coronavirus doesn't exist yet more people have it than ever (call it "Fauci's Paradox"). The Great Barrington Declaration was funded by hard right think tanks, notably ones backed by the Koch brother (now singular). An "ex" CIA operative, now State Department spokesperson, was made to squirm under simple, basic journalistic questions and it was glorious. Anti-Russian propaganda accidentally celebrates Ukrainian Nazism.

Semanas antes de que se realicen los comicios, el actual presidente Trump anunció que de no obtener un resultado positivo para su reelección desconocería los resultados. Entre el olor a comida chatarra y la cultura del descarte, la grieta pareciera no ser un invento criollo. La autoproclamada guardiana de la democracia occidental se retuerce en una crisis inédita cuyas consecuencias están aún por verse. Nos adentramos en la convulsiva disputa electoral de los Estados Unidos, en sus peligrosos pliegues y sus posibles consecuencias para la región. Nos visita Camilo Cibils y escuchamos las opiniones de Benjamin Norton (editor asistente del portal The Grayzone) para intentar entender, aunque sea un poco, sobre un futuro plagado de incertidumbre pero que aún no está escrito.
