Jim Kavanagh, writer at ThePolemicist.net and CounterPunch and the author of the article "Over the Rainbow: Paths of Resistance After George Floyd," joins us to discuss McConnell telling the White House not to make a deal with Pelosi before Election Day. A Wednesday headline in Common Dreams read: "McConnell Admits He's Been Working to Sabotage Covid Relief Talks Behind the Scenes to Prioritize Rushing Barrett Confirmation."Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and co-founded Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, examines the implications of a letter that went out Monday with the signatures of more than 50 former senior intelligence officials "outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden's son 'has all the classic earmarks of Russian information operation,'" as Politico reported Monday.Caleb Maupin, a frequent collaborator with all major news outlets and author of "City Builders and Vandals in Our Age," discusses a Tuesday article in Antiwar.com reporting that "GOP lawmakers introduced a bill to the House that declares China is the top economic and national security threat to the US.

Bacevich. The book makes the case that "since 1945, the US pursuit of 'dominance in the name of internationalism' has mainly served as a device for affirming the authority of foreign-policy elites," the outlet notes.Niko House, political activist and independent journalist and podcaster, talks about a Tuesday Politico report that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's "transition team is vetting a handful of Republicans for potential Cabinet positions - despite doubts it will win him new support from the right and at the risk that it will enrage the left."

Portland AntiFa Murder Suspect Killed By Police

On today's episode of Fault Lines, hosts Shane Stranahan and Jamarl Thomas talked about a variety of issues from the police killing of the suspect in the murder of a Trump supporter in Portland to the People's Convention to the “Rittenhouse Method” of avoiding being killed by police.GUESTSNiko House - Broadcast Journalist, political activist, founder and CEO of the MCSC Network | People's Convention WrapPete Ingami - Radio Host, blogger | Is America The Best Country For Immigrants Ever?Caleb Maupin - Speaker, writer, journalist, political analyst, and author of City Builders and Vandals in Our Age: Articles and Essays on Socialism | The Danger of The Right Owning OutrageIn Jamarl's monologue, he predicted that the 2020 election will be disputed and said that it's a betrayal of Americans.Then the hosts were joined by Niko House, who discussed The People's Convention that he was part of and agreed with the idea that there was not enough diversity of views, which led to a convention that was heavily dominated by left-wing ideas with no real attempt to respond or acknowledge libertarianism or right-wing populism. Niko also pushed back on the idea that including those ideas would somehow be a betrayal to the concept of the People's Party. Although Niko thought the event was good and that it gave equal time to both people voting for Joe Biden and those who are refusing to support him, he also commented that he thought the convention should've given more time and acknowledgment to Julian Assange, an issue he said had broad support among the attendees.In the second hour, Shane and Jamarl were joined by Pete Ingami, who began by discussing how he views his conservatism to be compatible with his Christianity. Then he and the hosts talked about how whether or not America has produced the best results of any country for both immigrants and descendants of slaves. Pete talked about his own family's heritage as well as what he has learned from reading contemporaneous history. Then they turned to the topic of inequality in general and finally discussed what he called the "Rittenhouse Method" of avoiding violence with the police, which Pete said is to not resist arrest.In the third hour, Shane and Jamarl were joined by Caleb Maupin who gave his own take on the Democrat and Republican conventions and said that on policy he agreed with the Democrats' content more but he thought that the Republicans' overall messaging was actually more in line with his sentiments, particularly the idea of supporting the worker. However, Caleb pointed out that this messaging is phony and that he thinks there is a real danger in leading the right on the anti-elitist message. They discussed history and how Marx pointed out in the 19th century that elitists would take both sides of an argument in order to protect the status quo.

On today's episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan discussed a range of topics from the latest announcement by Putin that Russia had developed a vaccine against COVID-19 to the cause of the recent deadly explosion in Lebanon to Joe Biden's vice presidential pick possibilities to the state of the US Postal Service.GUESTSMaram Susli - Political Commentator and Geopolitical Analyst | The Beirut Explosion in ContextChuck Zlatkin - Legislative and Political Director, New York Metro Area Postal Union | Trump vs. the MailmenCaleb Maupin - Speaker, author of City Builders and Vandals in Our Age: Articles and Essays on Socialism | Left Eye on the NewsIn Jamarl's first hour monologue, he said that Joe Biden is a horrible candidate for the Democrats. Jamarl also wished Shane a happy birthday. Then Shane and Jamarl were joined by Maram Susli, and they discussed the recent explosion in the port of Beirut, Lebanon, that injured thousands and killed hundreds. Maram said she believes it is important to look at the events that led up to the explosion in trying to determine what actually happened, and she believes it is suspicious that the blast came during a time of such economic hardship and unrest in Beirut, and especially as Lebanon was beginning to explore other economic options for itself. She said the blast has left Lebanon desperate from the International Monetary Fund. Maram also discussed the role of the French in the response of the explosion as well as historically and said that French president Emmanuel Macron is one of the people who stands to benefit most.In the second hour, Jamarl and Shane talked with Chuck Zlatkin about the importance of the postal system, especially in the era of COVID-19, and how the Trump administration is currently trying to dismantle it. John talked about the importance of the universality of the Postal Service and how they deliver mail to anyone anywhere in the United States and contrast that with big private carriers like FedEx and UPS. He pointed out that not many people are aware that those private carriers often use the US Postal Service to deliver the "last mile" and get packages to people in remote areas. He pointed out how the Trump administration had made the new Postmaster General a logistics person who is cutting overtime and putting people in the positions who are not aware. He also said this war with the Postal Service at such a critical time may backfire on President Trump.The hosts were joined in the third hour by Caleb Maupin, who discussed the importance of what he sees as an FDR style work project to get the COVID-19 economy rolling again. Caleb talked about the benefits of such a project not just to the economy, but also to solving certain health and infrastructure problems that he sees the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbating. They also discussed the upcoming election and Joe Biden's choice for vice president. Caleb said he believes powerful forces are battling it out behind closed doors to put Kamala Harris in as Biden's vice presidential pick, a prospect he finds scary, given what he sees as her hostility towards protesters and notably pro Palestinian activists. He said he learned of this from interviewing people who have met with Harris.

On today's episode of Fault Lines, hosts Shane Stranahan and Jamarl Thomas discussed several topics, including the recent negotiations over EU finances breaking down, President Trump's reaction to the COVID-19 outbreak, the life and legacy of John Lewis, and the violent protests in Portland and other American cities.GUESTSCaleb Maupin - Speaker, writer, journalist, political analyst, and author of City Builders and Vandals in Our Age: Articles and Essays on Socialism | Feds Crackdown on Portland RiotsMargaret Kimberley - Senior Columnist and Editor for Black Agenda Report | Mixed Legacy of John LewisTom Luongo - Geopolitical Analyst & Publisher of the Gold Goats 'n Guns Newsletter | Ghislaine MaxwellIn the first hour monologue, Jamarl decried Donald Trump's lack of leadership on the nationwide protests and coronavirus.Then Shane and Jamarl spoke to Caleb Maupin about how the protests in cities like Portland, Oregon, and the federal pushback from the Trump administration create an opportunity to talk about the history of crackdowns on political dissent that have been going on for years in the United States. He cited examples such as the "extraordinary rendition" style program by police exposed in Chicago and in the 2010 raids on members of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. Caleb said that media focus on what is happening in Portland should be seen as an opportunity to bring up these other examples the people are less aware of.In the second hour, Shane and Jamarl talked to Margaret Kimberley about the life and legacy of Civil Rights icon and Congressman John Lewis. Kimberley thought that, while his early work in the Civil Rights Movement with SNCC (the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) was heroic, it did not give him a lifetime pass from criticism. Kimberley went on to say that as a congressman, he was not only undistinguished but he also became part of the Congressional Black Caucus's work in consistently defeating truly progressive policies. She also stated she thought his support for the Clintons and against Bernie Sanders was very disappointing. Kimberley also talked about her own personal political journey, including the founding of Black Agenda Report in 2006 and her move more and more towards the left.In the third hour, Jamarl and Shane talked to Tom Loungo about the recent arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell and what Tom sees is a connection to Brexit through a series of elitist connections and events ranging from the fall of the Soviet Union to the pillaging of Russia's assets in the 1990s to the Russiagate hoax. Tom says the information that Maxwell and her co-conspirator Jeffrey Epstein may have on world leaders goes directly into what he sees as a plot to remove Donald Trump from power.

It's looking like it's time to shut the country down again. There's a larger clarion call saying that this is a good idea.

As Confederate Statues Come Down, It's Important to Understand Mythology Behind Them

It's Friday, so that means it's panel time.After the toppling of statues of US Presidents George Washington and Ulysses S. Grant, the vandalizing and removing of American monuments is no longer limited to those dedicated to Confederates. What does this mean? There are those who say that these statues mean nothing. I beg to differ. Imagery plays a very important role in a culture. These statues were erected for a reason."New US sanctions on Syria take effect Wednesday [June 17], targeting anyone who aids the government of President Bashar al-Assad or provides assistance to certain industries operating inside government-held territory," the Washington Post reported last week. "The set of measures, known as the Caesar Act and included in the US defense policy bill passed in December, aims to force the government to stop the bombardment carried out during Syria's nine-year civil war and halt widely documented human rights abuses.""With the Senate preparing to vote on an annual defense policy bill calling for $740.5 billion in military spending for fiscal year 2021, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday delivered a floor speech in support of his new amendment aiming to cut the proposed Pentagon budget by 10% — around $74 billion — and devote those resources to funding healthcare, housing, jobs, and education in impoverished US communities," Common Dreams reported Friday. This comes after Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) last week "unveiled a resolution proposing up to $350 billion in cuts to the Pentagon budget," Common Dreams reported. In a statement on the matter, Lee said, "Redundant nuclear weapons, off-books spending accounts, and endless wars in the Middle East don't keep us safe."On Thursday night, Dr. Anthony Fauci said in an interview with the Washington Post's Paige Winfield Cunningham that "health officials are having 'intense discussions' about what's known as 'pool testing.' The idea is that by testing samples from many people all together, officials could test more people with fewer resources. And those who are infected could be more quickly found and isolated." What does all of this mean?"The Trump administration late Thursday night filed a legal brief asking the Supreme Court to invalidate the entirety of the Affordable Care Act, a move that would strip health insurance from more than 20 million people in the middle of a pandemic and slash taxes for the richest Americans," Common Dreams reported Friday.The US House of Representatives has passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. "The Democratic-controlled chamber voted 236-181 for the measure mainly along party lines on Thursday night," the BBC reported Friday. However, Senate Republicans are also working on legislation, led by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC). "The GOP plan has a major emphasis on incentivizing states to take action, while the Democratic plan has a focus on setting national standards, such as mandates for federal uniformed officers to wear body cameras and banning chokeholds," CNN reported Tuesday. "The Republican proposal does not include an outright ban on chokeholds but Scott argued earlier this week 'we get very, very close to that place' by blocking federal grant funds to departments that don't ban chokeholds themselves. A major sticking point between Democrats and Republicans is whether to overhaul qualified immunity for cops so it's easier to sue them in civil court. The House Democratic bill overhauls the standard, while Scott's Republican bill does not."We've got all these stories and more!GUESTS:Caleb Maupin - Frequent collaborator with all major news outlets and author of "City Builders and Vandals in Our Age."Dr. Yolandra Hancock - Board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist.

Maupin said that in his experience as a reporter, the people on the left and right seem to see the same problems but disagree on what the correct solution is. He also discussed some of the pushback he's been getting from people on the left for talking to people on the right and said that he thinks that idea of not talking to both sides is "political suicide" although he questions working together.In the second hour, the hosts talked to author and activist Bill Ayers about the Black Lives Matter movement and how it fits into the historical context of his 1960s activism. Ayers expressed his disgust for the Teddy Roosevelt statue that was recently removed from the Museum of Natural History in New York and also talked about one of his areas of expertise, education. He discussed the importance of education that focuses on individuals, not just on standardized testing.In the third hour, Shane and Jamarl talked to activist and journalist Taylor Hudak about the latest charges against Julian Assange by the United States government.

Minnesota Government Asks Whether Outsiders, White Supremacists Lit Fires in Twin Cities

It's Friday, so that means it's panel time.A very interesting article ran Friday in the Wall Street Journal, entitled "Who Set the Fires in the Twin Cities?" It reads, "Ever since protesters flooded the streets following the killing of George Floyd in police custody, residents here have wondered: Who burned down so many businesses in the Twin Cities, and why? While a few arrests have been made so far, the question continues to go largely unanswered. ... The ATF [US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] has released photos and videos, asking for the public's help in identifying suspects caught on security cameras lighting fires, pouring accelerants and throwing an apparent Molotov cocktail. ... Minnesota state officials have pointed to unspecified and unconnected outsiders, including white supremacists, anarchists and drug cartels for turning peaceful demonstrations into violent riots that left scores of businesses looted, damaged or destroyed by flames." That's an interesting narrative to me. US President Donald Trump has described protestors as thugs, playing into a racist stereotype from what's been displayed in the media."The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 321 points, or 1.3%, paring gains of as much as 837 points shortly after the opening bell," the Wall Street Journal reported Friday. "The index slid 6.9% on Thursday on concerns about an uptick in coronavirus cases and the pace of the economic recovery. The S&P 500 climbed 1% Friday, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.8%. All three indexes are poised to close the week down at least 2.5%, snapping a three-week winning streak." Do these numbers tell us anything substantive? "Trump in recent weeks has repeatedly signaled that his sympathies lie with the police over the protesters, whom he has broadly portrayed as members of a loosely affiliated anti-fascist movement known as antifa, though the vast majority of the demonstrators across the country have been peaceful," the Washington Post reported Thursday. "Since [George] Floyd's death, he has tweeted about 'LAW & ORDER!' more than a dozen times. In a roundtable Thursday in Dallas, Trump proclaimed that the nation's problems with racism will be solved 'very easily. It will go quickly, and it will go very easily.'”"Trump's decision to hold a Tulsa rally on Juneteenth is no coincidence," read the headline of a Friday op-ed by Frida Ghitis for CNN. She writes that the event "will be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the site of a race massacre 99 years ago that remains one of the worst acts of racial violence in US history. In 1921, hundreds of African Americans were killed when white mobs looted and burned what had been a thriving neighborhood known as 'Black Wall Street.'" Juneteenth, or June 19, is the day honoring what happened on June 19, 1865: Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, arrived in Galveston, Texas with orders that all slaves in Texas were free in accordance with the Emancipation Proclamation, issued on January 1, 1863."The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and two allied groups sued the Arizona Secretary of State to allow voters five business days after federal elections to correct ballots that may otherwise have been rejected for not having a signature," Reuters reported Thursday. "Currently, such ballots are not counted.""The combination of limited training on new voting machines and reduced polling locations due to the novel coronavirus could produce crushingly long lines and severely hamper voting access," Georgia election officials and voting rights advocates had warned, the Washington Post reported Wednesday. "Yet none of those in charge of Georgia's elections were able to head off what all agreed was a breakdown of the voting system. Residents waited for hours to cast ballots, some past midnight. Workers struggled to operate new touch-screen machines. Some polling places in suburban Atlanta opened with no equipment at all."We've got these stories and more!GUESTS:Caleb Maupin - Collaborator with major news outlets and author of "City Builders and Vandals in Our Age."Dr. Jack Rasmus - Teaches economics and politics at St. Mary's College in California and is the author of the book "The Scourge of Neoliberalism: US Economic Policy from Reagan to Trump."Jim Kavanagh - Political analyst and commentator and editor of The Polemicist.Dr. Colin Campbell - TV news reporter for more than 20 years.

In the years following the Second World War, Toronto experienced a construction boom. In large part, the city's new skyscrapers and suburbs were built by immigrants from the Polish, Italian, Portuguese, and other diasporas. How did these disparate communities interact? What safety conditions did these workers face? How did they organise? Gilberto Fernandes (a postdoctoral Fellow at the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies and the York University History Department) is project manager, designer, curator, and director of "City Builders: A History of Immigrant Construction Workers in Post-war Toronto." The ambitious multimedia project seeks to record the memories of the immigrants who built the city.
