Henry Kissinger died last week after 100 years of death and destruction. More than most, he embodied the foreign policy establishment. Kissinger was an architect of liberal post-war foreign policy and perpetrator of many wars, coups and body counts. He advised every president from JFK to Joe Biden. While many liberals reviled him, he mentored many policy makers in Democratic administrations including Hillary Clinton and current Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. In our latest episode, we talk about Kissinger's life and legacy. We talk about Vietnam and Chile and how the liberal world order still functions today as it did in the 60s and 70s when Kissinger was at his peak. We also talked about the continuing bloodshed in Ukraine, more evidence that the U.S. and others scuttled peace talks in the past, and Biden's obsession with wars abroad rather than taking care of problems inside the U.S. We also get into the radical history of the week with a couple examples of anti-Kissingers (including Abby Hoffman and Mario Savio). We close with tribute to the Pogues' late front man Shane MacGowan. --------------------------- Outro- "The Body of an American" by the Pogues Links// + Rolling Stone: Henry Kissinger, War Criminal, Dead at 100 (https://bit.ly/3uObUFm) +NY Times: Henry Kissinger, Who Shaped U.S. Cold War History, Dies at 100(https://bit.ly/3GwwBYZ) G&R describing the crimes of Henry Kissinger//  + G&R: The 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War (https://bit.ly/49XZhaN) + G&R: Chile's 9/11 50 Years Later (https://bit.ly/412GaZ6) Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠ Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at ⁠ patreaon.com/greenredpodcast⁠ +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠ This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

These are times of increasing political extremism. They are also times of corruption and rising inequality. Enormous, alarming trends are sweeping through culture, government, and the economy. In some sense this is new, but in other ways it’s a story as old as civilized society. So the question is not why or what or who or even how—it’s where. Where is the courage? Where are the people standing up to stop all this? Where are the heroes, big and small? The city council member who refuses to rubber stamp the pocket-lining policies of her fellow council members. The parent who turns in their own child for his alarming obsession with guns. The celebrity who uses their platform to speak truth, rather than pile onto whatever the mob has decided is right. To the Stoics, courage was the greatest of the virtues. Being brave enough to take a stand, to risk one’s own neck. To throw yourself in front of the car to save someone else. Or, as Mario Savio put it on the Berkeley campus in the 1960s during the Free Speech movement, “to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus…to make it stop.”Courage was also independence. Refusing to cow to the majority, and instead to hold oneself to a higher standard. That standard was justice, another essential virtue. That meant insisting on what was right. Attacking corruption, intolerance for unfairness. Protecting the downtrodden or the weak. Are there still heroes out there? Yes. We see it in Lori Gilbert-Kaye, who died protecting her rabbi from a gunman. We see it in James Melville, the ambassador who resigned on principle after Trump’s comments about NATO. We see it when people admit they were wrong. When academics challenge political correctness and orthodoxy. We see it when a classmate stands up to a bully. We see it when a fireman rushes into a building, or when a police officer runs towards the shooting. When the ordinary person says, “Hey, don’t say things like that. Don’t treat other people that way. It’s not right.”But we don’t see it enough. In part because we don’t do it enough ourselves.

The First Amendment was ratified in 1791. But have we always had free speech, especially on campus? Are we witnessing the death of this hallowed American practice and ideal in today's campus controversies? Professor Robert Cohen is America's foremost historian of the free speech movement from its origin in 1960's California until today. Have we lost our way and the strong commitment to free expression fought for by so many, among them Mario Savio, the leader of Berkeley's Free Speech Movement? How are today's controversies different from skirmishes and culture wars of the past? How should universities respond to provocateurs, and how can we distinguish between set-ups meant to undermine the university, and real threats of free expression on campus? Cohen is the author of many books, among them Freedom's Orator: Mario Savio and the Radical Legacy of the 1960s and The Free Speech Movement: Reflections on Berkeley in the 1960s.

California students staged a sit-in which became the model for student activism across the USA in the 1960s. It all started over who could, or could not, use a small strip of land outside Berkeley's front gates. Lynne Hollander Savio, who took part in the sit-in, remembers the mood of the time.

From the Archives – Columbia Center for Oral History

In a 1985 interview Mario Savio, American political activist and leader of the Berkeley Free Speech Movement, recalls the Freedom Summer of 1964 and his experience during the campaign to register black voters in rural Mississippi.
