Brazil is Latin America's largest country and a strategic prize for the region's Marxists and their sponsors in Beijing. So, restoring the Communists' leader, Lula da Silva, to its presidency was a top priority, one accomplished in elections last year many Brazilians believe were fraudulently decided. For some 70 days, millions of Lula's opponents turned out peacefully in cities across the country urging the military to intervene pursuant to its constitutional duty in the event elections were deemed to have been stolen. The armed forces did not act. And, after Lula took office on January 1st, key government buildings in Brasilia were attacked, apparently by a combination of leftist provocateurs and supporters of former President Jair Bolsanaro, who has denounced those responsible. Like Hitler's Reichstag fire, count on the Marxists to use this pretext to suppress their opponents – and freedom. This is Frank Gaffney.
In this episode, Alex starts with a rant about why he is irritated with Netflix. He discusses how it constantly cancels good shows without giving them time to breathe or grow. This has created a loyalty issue because viewers are afraid to get into a new show because it could be canceled. Alex tells his listeners to watch Ginny and Georgia so this won't happen and it will get renewed. For the rest of the episode, Alex gets serious and talks about Biden's meeting with Mexico's president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The two met in Mexico City on Monday and things did not start off well after the two argued about American influence in Mexico. Next, Alex discusses how violence has erupted in Sinaloa between the Sinaloa Cartel and the Mexican Military. The Guardian writes about people “scrambling for cover as security forces and cartel gunmen fought for control of an airfield that had become the latest frontline of a Latin American drug conflict that claims tens of thousands of lives every year.” Later, Alex discusses an optics nightmare for the Biden Administration. Apparently, classified documents were found in the old office of Joe Biden. This has created a nightmare for Merrick Garland, whose Department of Justice has been going after Donald Trump for the same thing. Finally, Alex goes over the recent chaos that erupted in Brasilia, Brazil over the weekend. Supporters of the former president, Jair Bolsanaro, stormed the Congressional Building and Supreme Court. The events looked eerily similar to what happened almost two years ago in the United States.
In Brazil, President Lula pledges to take action against supporters of the previous President, Jair Bolsanaro, who smashed their way into the Senate chamber, the presidential palace and the Supreme Court. Also in the programme: Pakistan asks the UN for more than $16bn to help rebuild the country after devastating floods last year and Nick Marsh reports from South Korea where stringent Covid restrictions are being placed on travellers from China.

In this episode, Alex starts with some good news about plans in Northern Europe to create a renewable energy sector that could make Europe energy independent. Then he discusses reports that both Germany and the United States are going to send armored vehicles to Ukraine in a decision that had previously been avoided due to fears of angering Russia. Alex also discusses how escalation may be occurring and what to expect from these events. Later, he discusses new updates in the House of Representatives. As of now, Kevin McCarthy has failed ten votes to become the speaker. Alex notes that while this is entertaining, these events show that his detractors are willing to hold public policy and legislation hostage. Finally, Alex discusses the inauguration of Brazil's new president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Lula, as he is sometimes called, was president before, and staged a political comeback to beat Jair Bolsanaro. Bolsanaro broke from tradition and did not attend the inauguration, instead, he went to Florida.
The film Joyland is set in Lahore and tells the story of Haider, a married man who falls in love with the transgender dancer Biba. It's the first Pakistani film to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and it won the Jury Prize as well as the Queer Palm prize. It has also been selected as the Pakistani entry for Best International Feature Film at the Academy Awards. Despite having a standing ovation at Cannes, the film has had a more controversial reaction in Pakistan itself. Originally cleared for release, that decision was then overturned. However the film is now out in cinemas in Pakistan, although remains banned in the Punjab. Tina Daheley speaks to Joyland's writer and director Saim Sadiq and film critic Kamran Jawaid. Brazilian director and screenwriter Gabriel Martins took inspiration from his own childhood experience when he made his new film Mars One. It tells the story of a working-class Black Brazilian family adjusting to life after the election of President Jair Bolsanaro. Like Joyland, it has also been selected as its country's submission for Best International Feature Film at the next Academy Awards. Lone Scherfig is a Danish film-maker best known for her romantic comedies including An Education and One Day. She talks about the film that changed her - Austrian director Michael Haneke's 2009 German-language film The White Ribbon. It is a movie with a troubling message about the history of Europe and one that inspires her to ask big, important questions in her own work. (Photo: A still from Joyland. Credit: Studio Soho)
Brazilian citizens are reeling after this week's election that saw the politician formerly known as Lula da Silva return to power and defeat right-wing incumbent Jair Bolsanaro by less than 2% of the vote. The results reflect Brazil's growing resentment of Bolsanaro's leadership. WTBU's Garrett Adamtsev sat down with Sao Paulo native Andre Lima to discuss the country's reaction to the change of leader.
Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.1) Israel Is Having It's Fifth Election in Four Years?: Israel seems to be in seriously unstable condition. It can't keep a coalition government in office more than a year. The last one was a grouping of moderate, right wing, and Arab parties. It collapsed and Yar Lapid, the Foreign Minister, was 'caretaker' until new elections held this Tuesday. Benjamin Netanyahu has formed a bloc with Far Right Zionist parties and could win the election. What will happen next? 2) How Important is Ukraine's Wheat in World Supply?: Russia is now reversing it's earlier agreement to allow Ukraine grains to be exported. Much goes to needy nations of Africa, so this blockade may lead to massive starvation. But Putin claims Ukraine is not supplying grain to needy countries, just rich EU nations. Is this situation solvable? What other nations are capable of making up Ukraine's shortfall? 3) Is North Korea A Nuclear Weapons State?: In 2018 and 2019, Pres. Trump arranged to meet at two 'summits' with NK leader Kim Jung Un to discuss 'denuclearization' of North Korea. Those meetings-- while providing photo ops and legitimizing NK's leader--- did not produce progress towards denuclearization. Three years later, Kim is now expected to do a new nuclear bomb test. What is going on here? 4) What Is The Result of Brazil's Presidency Race?: Last Sunday, the far-right conservative President Jair Bolsanaro was neck in neck with socialist Lula de Silva for race to rule the fifth most populous nation on earth, Brazil. It's more that 200 million citizens are split down the middle, with the poor and minorities supporting de Silva, and the rich ranchers and miners backing Bolsanaro. Who won? Why does it matter to us?
Brazillians have elected a new president - but outgoing president Jair Bolsanaro refuses to acknowldge the voters' decision. Since the results came in yesterday Bolsanaro has remained silent, neither conceeding defeat nor challenging rival Lula's win. There is a two-month transition period before Lula is due to be sworn in, and concerns that the transition may not be a smooth one are mounting. Lorry drivers in Brazil loyal to President Jair Bolsonaro blocked roads across the nation after election results were announced - federal highway police reported 342 such incidents, with the biggest protests in the country's south. Brazil correspondent Mary Triny Mena spoke to Māni Dunlop.

Far-right leader Jair Bolsanaro has been ousted by the slimmest of margins in the Brazil elections. The left-wing former president Luiz Inácio, also known as "Lula" da Silva, secured 50.8 percent of the vote in the deciding round of the Brazilian presidential vote. Speaking from Rio de Janerio on Lloyd Burr Live, Will Deneslow said the reaction to Lula's win has been very positive, with "huge amounts of celebrations" taking place across pockets in Brazil.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS With White Britons still mourning the death of the White queen, the threat of White Genetic Annihilation was intensified as Rushi Sunak was announced to be the Prime Minister-elect of Great Britain. He'll be the first non-white person to hold the position. Attempted counter-racist scientists should study his time in office to see how White Supremacy/Racism works globally. Will Whites treat Sunak like Obama's cousin? In Brazil, President Jair Bolsanaro begins his runoff election with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to see who'll govern the country. Here in the US, exhumations resume to locate mass graves for the 1921 Tulsa, Oklahoma "race riot" where allegedly 300 or more black people were murdered. In Kansas City, Missouri, officials "tarred" Bishop Tony Caldwell as a rumor-spreading imbecile who peddled falsehoods about a serial killer. Days after a White man was arrested and charged with kidnap, rape and assault for keeping a black female hostage in his basement, skeletal remains were found at a local gas station. This discovery generated very little attention. #Tulsa #PunchInTheFaceSolvesEverything #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Það verður ekki hægt að sjá neinar sýningar í New Diorama leikhúsinu í London í haust. Engir miðar til sölu.

Þann 30. október fer í Brasilíu fram seinni umferð forsetakosninga, þar sem eigast við hinn vinstrisinnaði Lula og íhaldsmaðurinn, þjóðernissinninn og popúlistinn Jair Bolsanaro.

Katy joins us from Brazil, where Jair Bolsanaro has confounded expectations by forcing a run-off vote against Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the country's Presidential election. He got 43 percent of the vote, while Mr Lula got 48, just short of the 50 percent needed to avoid a second round later this month. The run-off election is later this month.
Brazilians went to the polls to vote for a President, which ended in a runoff which is now scheduled for October 30th. The main candidates for Latin America's largest economy could not be more different in personality and policy. Clara Ferreira Marques, columnist, at Bloomberg Opinion gives us her opinions on President Jair Bolsanaro and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and who might win.Image credit: EPA-EFE

Brazil's general election is next month, but President Jair Bolsanaro has an uphill battle to become re-elected. His urgent situation was on display during this week's presidential debate, when he and his main rival, Lula da Silva, resorted to personal insults against each other. We examine whether this is a recipe for victory, or can damage the country's democracy.
In this episode, Alex talks about how gas prices in the U.S. are lower than a month ago, but still much higher than a year ago. He also mentions that the U.S. is still in much better shape than most of Europe as a fuel crisis looms. Alex then discusses the new subvariant of COVID and why he worries we are entering a forever pandemic. The vaccines are always trying to catch up to the new variant, immune responses are quickly dwindling, and political and public apathy are constant. Later, Alex discusses how Jair Bolsanaro is losing by double digits to Lula for the election in October. Now he is claiming that voter fraud could be possible. Much like Donald Trump, Bolsanaro is creating uncertainity and challenging democracy. Finally, Alex takes a deep dive into the complex and radical life of Clarence Thomas. He poses the questions on how a radical black activist in the 1970s became the most conservative judge on the Supreme Court. Justice Thomas is a flawed and problematic man, but he is fascinating.

In this episode, Alex talks about a new study that says the Amazon may be at a tipping point where it could be a savanna in several decades. He then discusses the recent bombings at a Ukrainian base near the Polish border, and how the threat of conflict between Russia and Nato may be approaching. Finally, he goes into the Azov Battalion, a neo-nazi group that is fighting against the Russians in Ukraine. In this episode: Alex discusses a study by the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. The study says that “the Amazon rainforest is reaching a tipping point where it is shifting from rainforest to more of a savanna.” This is obviously problematic because a savanna means that the trees are spread out and would not be able to trap the amount of carbon dioxide that is necessary to help from exasperating climate change. Alex also goes into how the atrocious policies of Jair Bolsanaro are making this situation worse. Alex gives an update on the Ukrainian invasion. After the bombing of the Yavoriv near the Polish border on Sunday, the Guardian reported that “Britain said the incident marked a significant escalation of the conflict and the proximity of the attack to Poland's border, less than 10 miles away, prompted the US national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, to warn that any fire, even accidental, on a neighboring Nato country would trigger a full-force Nato response.” Alex gives background and analysis of the Azov Battalion. This is a neo-nazi group that has been somewhat absorbed into the Ukrainian National Guard and is helping to fight against the Russians. Alex mentions that this group's existence and support from some Ukrainians may have helped justify Putin's denazification of Ukraine.

Zbigniew Dąbrowski mówi o rosyjskich wpływach w Ameryce Łacińskiej. Hawana jest sojusznikiem Moskwy jeszcze od czasów ZSRR. Po rewolucji sandinistowskiej Nikaragua stała się sprzymierzeńcem Rosji. Wenezuela wychodzi z założenia "wróg mojego wroga jest moim przyjacielem". Zarówno Daniel Ortega jak i Nicolas Maduro [...] powiedzieli, że popierają działania Rosji na Ukrainie. W przeciwieństwie do wyżej wymienionych Brazylia Jaira Bolsanaro nie ma z lewicą nic wspólnego. Do niedawna głównym sojusznikiem prawicowego populisty był Donald Trump. Jednak wraz ze zmianą w Białym Domu Brasília zaczęła szukać nowego sojusznika. Gospodarz audycji „Republica Latina” przypomina inicjatywę BRICS (Brazylia, Rosja, Indie, Chiny, Afryka Południowa). Ten sojusz się zaczął rodzić jeszcze w poprzedniej dekadzie. Natomiast ostatnio Jair Bolsanaro odwiedził Władimira Putina w Moskwie. Podczas swej wizyty 17 lutego brazylijski prezydent stwierdził, że Brazylia podkreśla potrzebę dobrej wiary w rozwiązywaniu uzasadnionych problemów bezpieczeństwa wszystkich stron, w tym Rosji i Ukrainy. W sąsiedniej Kolumbii partyzancka Armia Wyzwolenia Narodowego ogłosiła "trzydniowy strajk zbrojny" przeciwko rządom Ivanowi Duque. Nie wiadomo do końca, na czym ma on polegać. Generalnie chodzi o to, żeby ludzie nie wychodzili z domów i nie poruszali się po kraju, dlatego że mogą zostać mogą zostać zastrzeleni. Dominikana buduje mur na granicy z Haiti. Sytuacja polityczna i gospodarcza w tej ostatniej nadal jest zła. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radiownet/message

Niższe dochody w prawie połowie gospodarstw domowych i dwukrotnie większy braki bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego - w takim stanie z epidemii Covid-19 wychodzą Ameryka Łacińska i Karaiby. Według raportu Banku Światowego i Programu Narodów Zjednoczonych ds. Rozwoju sytuacja uległa poprawie po złagodzeniu obostrzeń sanitarnych. Jednocześnie posunęły się naprzód kampanie szczepień. Mocno ucierpiały Kolumbia, Brazylia i Ekwador. Jedynie w krajach Ameryki Środkowej: Gwatemali, Nikaragui i Salwadorze stopa zatrudnienia wzrosła w stosunku do poziomu sprzed pandemii, ale kosztem pogorszenia się sytuacji na rynku pracy. Powiększyła się szara strefa. Najwięcej miejsc pracy utracono na Haiti. Zbigniew Dąbrowski dodaje, że W takich krajach jak Boliwia Paragwaj Ekwador i Kolumbia ponad 60 procent gospodarstw domowych nie wykazuje jeszcze oznak ożywienia. Dzieje się tak pomimo dotacji rządowych i pomocy w sytuacjach kryzysowych z których korzysta łącznie 46 procent gospodarstw domowych w regionie. Dąbrowski komentuje także niedawne wybory prezydenckie w Hondurasie. Frekwencja wyniosła 68,22%. Głosy cały czas są liczone. Jak dotąd policzono 52,57 proc. głosów. Według cząstkowych wyników wybory wygrywa Xiomara Castro z wynikiem 53,5 proc. Jej główny kontrkandydat Nasry Asfura zdobył 34,08 proc. Jak zaznacza prowadzący audycji „Republica Latina”, Po 12 latach Partia Narodowa oddaje władzę. Wyjaśnia, że ludzie głosowali nie tyle za Castro ile przeciw polityce Partii Narodowej. Jak przypomina Prezydent kraju Orlando Hernandez obarczony jest zarzutami o współpracę z narkobiznesem, zresztą obecny kandydat Nasty Asfura też. Przypomina, że Xiomara Castro jest żoną byłego prezydenta Manuela Zelayi (2006-2009) - chavisty obalonego przez wojsko. Wybory prezydenckie przed sobą ma Brazylia. O reelekcję będzie się ubiegał prawicowy prezydent Jair Bolsanaro. Jego kandydaturę poparła Partia Liberalna. Dąbrowski zauważa, że ta ostatnia należała do koalicji razem z lewicą, której prawdopodobnym kandydatem jest Geraldo Alckmin, były gubernator São Paulo. On sam nadal podgrzewa atmosferę i twierdzi, że jeszcze nie wie, czy będzie kandydował w wyborach W Wenezueli wybory już były, lecz w jednym stanie odbędą się ponownie. W stanie Barinas opozycja zwyciężyła ułamkiem promila głosów przewagi. Rada Wyborcza Wenezueli stwierdziła, że te wybory trzeba powtórzyć. Podstawą powtórzenia wyborów mają być zarzuty karne ciążące na zwycięskim kandydacie opozycji Freddym Superlano. Wybory co ciekawe uznał gubernator stanu Barinas Argenis Chávez, młodszy brat byłego prezydenta Wenezueli. Zapowiedział, że jeśli dojdzie do reasumpcji wyborów, to nie weźmie w nich udziału. Juan Guido twierdzi, że sąd wyborczy depcze wolę Wenezuelczyków. Podczas gdy inni żyją wyborami, w Chile tematami dyskusji są aborcja, redefinicja małżeństwa i surogacja. Izba Deputowanych odrzuciła projekt ustawy dekryminalizujący aborcję do 14. tygodnia życia. Decyzja o odrzuceniu go archiwizuje projekt i nie pozwala na jego ponowne rozpatrzenie przez kolejny rok. To jest dotkliwy cios dla ruchu feministycznego w tym kraju. Obecnie w Chile, jak przypomina Dąbrowski, aborcja legalna jest w trzech przypadkach: gwałtu, zagrożenia życia matki lub wad letalnych płodu. Powód do pewnego zawodu mają nie tylko zwolennicy legalnej aborcji, ale też organizacje LGBT. Chilijski Senat zadecydował o odłożeniu do przyszłego tygodnia głosowania nad ustawą uznającą rozciągającą instytucję małżeństwa na pary jednopłciowe. Rozmówca Jaśminy Nowak tłumaczy, że w istnieje wiele rozbieżności odnośnie projektu. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radiownet/message
Is Russia About to Invade Ukraine?, Upcoming Presidential Elections in Brazil, US Pulling Patriot Missiles out of Saudi ArabiaRetired US Diplomat to 5 different nations David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience. 1) Is Russia About to Invade Ukraine?: The Ukrainian chief of Military Intelligence, Brigadier General Budanov, stated on Nov 20, 2021 that he expects Russia to attack Ukraine again next January or February. The conflict, which began in 2014, already has seen some 14,000 Ukrainian troops killed. Putin has just moved 93,000 Russian troops back to the border of Ukraine, after withdrawing them last Summer. Does Putin might think Biden is weak after the Afghanistan defeat and US and NATO won't respond? 2) Upcoming Presidential Elections in Brazil?: In 2022 Brazil will hold next Presidential Election. The current Pres. Jair Bolsanaro is a far-right conservative populist running against far-left socialist Lula de Silva. Silva, a former President, was imprisoned on corruption charges in 2017 by Bolsonaro's supporter. But all charges were dropped by Brazil's Supreme Court and he is free to run. Recent polls show Lula likely to win, and so Pres. Bolsanaro is claiming the election will be 'rigged' if he loses. Steve Bannon is giving him advice. What do you think? 3) US Pulling Patriot Missiles out of Saudi Arabia: Why did the Biden Administration suddenly withdraw Patriot Missile defenses from Saudi Arabia, after Trump had just sent two Patriot batteries there in 2019? Is it a signal the US no longer sees Saudi Arabia as an important ally? Your JUNK MONKEYS are just a click away! Don't let your junk drive you bananas!
The Amazon is the world's largest rainforest but this crucial carbon sink is facing increased deforestation. Land clearing for mining or agriculture has increased under Brazil's president Jair Bolsanaro. But the world needs the Amazon jungle to keep absorbing carbon if more ambitious climate goals are to be met. Is there a place for the private sector to step in where governments have failed? Vivienne Nunis hears from economist Nat Keohane about a new not-for-profit called Emergent. It acts as a kind of middle man, connecting tropical forests with corporations searching for ways to cancel out their emissions. Can it work? Also on the programme, journalist Karla Mendes explains how many Brazilians feel about the Amazon's plight, while Robert Muggah from the Igarapé Institute tells us companies such as Google have stepped up to help with deforestation mapping, when government agencies had their budgets cut.

This week, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley is the center of attention as Senate Hearings examine the chaotic withdrawal of the U.S. from Afghanistan and Milley's calls to China during the Trump Administration. Fresh back from several weeks in Brazil, this week we lead off with an analysis of why Brazilian supporters of Jair Bolsanaro are donning American flags while calling for a military takeover. Elsewhere, political shifts are occurring in Germany, and recent FBI data is reporting an unusual spike in murders in 2020. However, our main focus this week has to do with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, who in the final days of Donald Trump's presidency made calls to China's military leaders to assure them the United States did not plan to attack them... and now some Republican leaders are calling for his resignation. We examine all of these stories, and several others in this week's episode of Middle Theory.

Dan and Sam hopped on the mics in the middle of the night to pod about pressing cultural issues such as the newly proposed Washington Football Team names, failed NYC mayoral candidate Dianne Morales' delirious tweets, Jair Bolsanaro's hiccups hospitalization, and Spike Lee's woke bitcoin ad. We also look back at one year since the George Floyd protests and the ongoing hysteria about critical race theory that has bled over into the high school we went to. We showed off some of Dan's artwork and the item of the season: Hog Planet lighters.

Alexander Mercouris, editor-in-chief at theduran.com & host of "The Duran'' on YouTube, joins us to discuss "Spygate 2." Reports that the US National Security Agency enlisted the aid of Denmark's intelligence services to spy on German Chancellor Angela Merkel and potentially other European leaders is causing an uproar amongst US vassal states in Europe. Meanwhile, many observers are yawning at the reality that these nations have generally accepted their status as powerless clients of the US empire and are unlikely to do more than complain.Levi Rickert, editor and publisher of NativeNewsOnline.net, joins us to discuss the genocide against indegenous people in Canada. The bodies of over 200 children were found in Canada at a building that was used to strip them of their culture and indoctrinate them into European culture. Observers are using this as an opportunity to revisit the genocide and violence associated with Western imperialism. Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss Belarus. The President of Belarus is talking about the Western attempt to overthrow his government, and is joining a chorus of international voices warning that NATO and the US empire are rapidly dragging the planet towards a third and potentially final world war. Also, Roman Protasevich, the man who was arrested in Belarus from a RyanAIr plane last week was wanted in connection with Ukrainian Nazi operatives, according to Russian foreign policy sources.Greg Palast, investigative reporter, joins us to discuss election issues in the US. A major political struggle has erupted in Texas as GOP politicians introduce a restrictive voting bill and Democrats walk out to halt the process. Also, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) argues that the Democrats must show equal resolve to push through legislation that the GOP opposes.Daniel Lazare, investigative journalist and author of "The Velvet Coup," joins us to discuss Israel. The landscape is shifting, as Washington, DC produced over 35,000 people at a rally on a rainy cold Memorial Day weekend. The leaders of the Democratic party are struggling to deal with a large group of major donors who support the Netanyahu Likud regime, while facing growing opposition in their major voting blocs.Ajamu Baraka, former VP Candidate for the Green Party, joins us to discuss Columbia and Brazil. Brazil is facing a major internal crisis, as the citizens are taking to the streets in large numbers to protest the neoliberal policies of Jair Bolsanaro. Bolsonaro and his US supporters are particularly concerned as the former left leaning leader Lula De Silva seems ready to make a comeback. Also, we discuss how Israel is influencing far-right wing politics in South America, and in particular, the US controlled government of Colombia. Margaret Kimberley, editor and senior columnist at Black Agenda Report and author of "Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents," joins us to discuss the militarism of the US empire. We discuss Caitlin Johnstone's article in which she pushes back against war propaganda and explains her concept of US foreign policy. Also, we talk about Jim Bovard's article about the run up to the invasion and occupation of Iraq.Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, joins us to discuss Syria. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad won the Syrian election with 95.1% of the vote. As is normally the case with perceived adversaries, the US condemned the election as illegitimate before the voting process began. Also, does the end of the Syrian war mean that the war torn nation can return to its status as a power player in the region?

The Trump administration officially started the process of withdrawing from the World Health Organization. “Operation Warp Speed,” the government’s program to fast-track Covid-19 vaccine development, signed its largest deal so far, allocating $1.6 billion to the pharmaceutical company Novavax. Plus, an update on testing issues in hotspots across the country. Brazilian President and prominent virus skeptic Jair Bolsanaro has Covid-19. In Israel, the health minister stepped down because officials weren’t heeding her advice. And in headlines: the Movement For Black Lives proposes legislation to transform the criminal justice system, Russia and China discourage marmot hunting, and Mike Pompeo wants the teens to get off TikTok.
Trump's anti-mask idiots are getting violent and there's video of one squealing "I feel threatened!" while advancing menacingly. Mary Trump offered a scathing portrayal of Man-Baby in a soon to be released tell-all that includes a passage where the Rapist-in-Chief tells his niece she's "stacked." Fox Fascist Tucker Carlson opened his horrific white supremacist pie-hole and questioned the patriotism of Representative Tammy Duckworth, who achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army. In Georgia, a group of mostly African American protesters marched on Stone Mountain while exercising their 2A rights. Alleged insider trader and Republican wanker Kelly Loeffler could lose her partial ownership of the WNBA team Dream over racist comments. Shitler cheated on his SATs according to his Niece's book. Bag of gnu-spew and Brazilian ruler Jair Bolsanaro caught coronavirus. An idiotic GOP snot-pile in Ohio suggested a halt to testing because of a dumb conspiracy theory. Brands like Disney and Nascar have distanced themselves from the President's racist ramblings. We played audio of a Brit tech douche yelling racist crap at fellow patrons in a Cali restaurant. Mittens Romney and a few other irrelevant conservative losers announced they wouldn't attend this years RNC.

We take a look at the deteriorating US - China relationship over coronavirus and accusations from the White House of a China cover-up. A trade war between the two countries seems to be re-emerging. Also - one hedge fund manager tells us that coronavirus pandemic has raised questions about the future world order and the role of capitalism in it. We travel to Brazil where the country's president Jair Bolsanaro, who has previously compared the virus to ‘just a flu,’ has said the worst of the crisis is over - despite the country just seeing its largest ever daily increase in death toll. How do you run a film awards ceremony in coronavirus times? We visit Hong Kong to find out. Plus, we remember Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk, who died at the age of 73. Martyn Ware of Heaven 17 and Human League tells us about his memories of the godfather of electronic music and a man who still influences today's artists.

Satellite data has shown an 85% increase in the number of fires across Brazil this year. There are more than 2,500 fires active across the Amazon region. This represents the most active number of fires since 2010. The increase in fires has been attributed to deliberate deforestation and clearing for agriculture or mining. The new president of Brazil, Jair Bolsanaro, supports the commercialisation of the Amazon forest and this is said to have encouraged the wide scale burning. Professor of Earth System Science at the University of California Irvine, Jim Randerson and Luiz Aragão of Brazil’s National Institute of Space Research are just two scientists concerned about the destruction and carbon emissions from the extensive burning. The 6 shortlisted books have been announced in the Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize this year. Judges Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt, a computer scientist and best-selling author Dorothy Koomson run through the list: Infinite Powers – Steven Strogatz The Remarkable Life of the Skin – Monty Lyman Clearing the Air – Tim Smedley Invisible Women – Caroline Criado Perez The Second Kind of Impossible – Paul Steinhardt Six Impossible Things – John Gribbin Science writer and journalist John Gribben takes Gareth through the world of quantum physics when he discusses his book "Six Impossible Things - The Quanta of Solace and the Mysteries of the Subatomic World" Producer - Fiona Roberts
The Brazilian anti-corruption crusade, called Car Wash or Lava Jato, that put popular ex-president Lula da Silva in prison and paved the way for fascist president Jair Bolsanaro—all while being celebrated in the US corporate press—was actually, as critics contended, less interested in corruption than in keeping Lula's Workers Party out of power.
As the Trump Administration continues an attempted coup in Venezuela, we interview journalist Dan Cohen about his new article: The Making of Juan Guaido: How the US Regime Change Laboratory Created Venezuela's Coup Leader. Also, Extinction Rebellion, the civil disobedience movement that sprang up in Europe to fight climate change, lifts off in the U.S. Headlines: --This week, the Trump Administration escalated its economic war against Venezuela. --Allies of the Venezuelan government are calling on the U.S. to stop the illegal economic stranglehold on the country. --Corporate Dems Support Anti-BDS Legislation. --Russia's Economy Surpasses Germany --Journalist Marzieh Hashemi, who was imprisoned in the U.S. for 11 days with no charges, returns to Iran to a hero's welcome. --Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are reportedly using plastic nasal tubes to force-feed at least six detained migrants. --DC forum explores the election of neofascist Jair Bolsanaro as Brazil’s present. --After singer Rihanna decided to boycott performing at Sunday’s Super Bowl in solidarity with quarterback Colin Kaepernick, other artists including Cardi B, followed suit. --Quote of the week is from John Bolton on Fox Business, chattering away about how the attack on Venezuela is really about the oil..

Foreign Affairs minister Chrystia Freeland was in good company this week at the Davos summit as she shared a stage with far-right Brazilian president Jair Bolsanaro to defend and promote the soft coup in Venezuela. Writer and academic Christo Aivalis (Canadian Dimension, The Washington Post, Ricochet) joins host Andre Goulet to explore why an official endorsement of regime change in the southern hemisphere by the Canadian government shouldn't surprise us. Plus: how the manufactured media-driven 'crisis' over Jagmeet Singh's leadership is over-hyped and why the federal NDP leader needs to pay close attention to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders and the resurgent American Left as he and his party prepare to fight the 2019 election.

If Then | News on technology, Silicon Valley, politics, and tech policy
On this week’s If Then, Will Oremus and April Glaser look further into the presidential election in Brazil and how tech has played a role. On Sunday, the far right candidate Jair Bolsanaro was elected President, and many have attributed his victory to misinformation that spread like wildfire through WhatsApp in the months leading up to the election. And it’s time again for more gadgets. Apple unveiled a new series of gizmos on Tuesday in Brooklyn: there were big changes to the iPad, Macbook Air, and MacMini. The hosts are also joined by Joan Donovan, the lead researcher at Data & Society, who focuses on hate groups congregate on social media. This conversation, sadly, comes following the horrific terrorist attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh over the weekend. The shooter, Robert Bowers, had been an active user of the free-speech-centric social media platform Gab that has become a kind of digital playpen for neo-Nazi and white supremacists since forming in 2016.

SportsPro editor-at-large Eoin Connolly talks to print editor Michael Long, freshly returned from the Sportel Monaco media convention, about a chaotic and traumatic week in the sports industry. There are reflections on the contribution of the tragically departed Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, Fifa's latest machinations around its Club World Cup plans and the examinations of Saudi state money in international sport after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and the small supporting role of soccer stars in the election of far-right candidate Jair Bolsanaro as president of Brazil. Elsewhere in a packed pod there's a review of the MLB World Series and a step-change at LA 2028, while NFL EVP of international Mark Waller discussed the league's experiences in London this year and its ambitions for Mexico, China and Germany.
