"The Other 9/11" occurred 50 years ago, a military-organized coup against the Socialist President of Chile Salvador Allende, with the support of U.S. and Australian operatives. In a fantastic discussion we talked with two authorities on the topic, Rodrigo Acuña and Clinton Ferdandes, who discussed the background of the U.S. role in Latin America in the Cold War, the background of Allende's political career and his election to the presidency, his efforts to change the Chilean economy, and the big role that the U.S. and Australian officials played in fostering the anti-Allende opposition and conducting the coup on 9/11/73.

The ruling class follies continue both at home and abroad. Another $40 billion going to aid the Ukrainian war effort while there are baby formula and COVID vaccine shortages in the U.S. Plus George W. Bush gives a speech at the Bush Institute about stolen Russian elections (what about Florida 2000?) and illegal invasions of Iraq... er... Ukraine.. In all seriousness, the brutality of military and economic war against populations around the war is heartbreaking. We continue our commentary on the history and politics around the war in Ukraine. -------------------------------------------------------------- Outro// "Sea of Heartbreak" by Don Gibson Links// War Pigs: Ukraine and the History of the Military-Industrial Complex (https://apple.co/34cn5KZ) G&R: Deep Background on Ukraine and Russia (https://apple.co/3sn9w4T) G&R: U.S. Empire and Ukraine w/ Prof. Clinton Fernandes.

Cited as "America's greatest intellectual," Noam Chomsky is know for his deep critique of the ruling class and his role in supporting movements fighting it. As Chris Hedges has said he "makes the powerful, as well as their liberal apologists, deeply uncomfortable.” December 7th is Noam's 93rd birthday and we are celebrating him with this new segment and sharing our past episodes about and with him all week. In this new episode, Scott and Bob speak about the impact that Chomsky has had on our own academic and political work. We also talk about how it's been a recent trend in the left media universe to attack Chomsky. But, we note, that those irrelevant hipster podcasters and YouTubers won't be remembered in a hundred years, but, of course, Noam Chomsky will be. So, please enjoy.

In this reprise episode, Understorey speaks with former army intelligence Clinton Fernandes, who is raising important questions about Australia’s sovereignty and capacity to manage its own affairs, because of our narrow economic base which has given the United States enormous influence over our military and foreign policy. This means spending an extra $279 billion on military hardware that will fit in with the US fighting approach. It means Pine Gap, and the potential for Australia to be complicit in drone war crimes for anywhere between Yemen to the Sea of Japan. It means North West Cape, which could drag Australia into a nuclear conflict, or play a part in an American first strike in the South China Sea, without Australia having much say over it. Remarkably, there is the lack of proper oversight over intelligence and security in our own country. And there is also the issue that currently the Australian parliament has no say about when Australia goes to war. The environment movement in Western Australia has campaigned vigorously for habitats, species, and the climate emergency. Yet there is still a leap to be made about the confluence of environment with peace. The Australian government’s commitment to spending hundreds of millions of dollars on warmaking may change that. Either way, Clinton Fernandes, now Professor at Australia’s prestigious tertiary institution for the defence forces at ADFA, is showing us all the Pine Gap and Harold Holt in Australia’s defences.
