Send a textJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs for a compelling conversation on Martyrs to the Unspeakable: The Assassinations of JFK, Malcolm, Martin, and RFK by James W. Douglass. In this sweeping work, Douglass reexamines the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy, arguing that these four leaders were killed not by isolated actors, but within a deeper context of national security power and Cold War politics.Drawing on extensive documentary evidence, witness testimony, and declassified records, Douglass challenges the official lone-gunman narratives and situates each assassination within a broader struggle between movements for peace and justice and entrenched systems of violence. At the heart of the book is the concept of the “Unspeakable,” a term Douglass uses to describe the hidden structures of power capable of silencing transformative leadership.Together, they explore how each of these figures, in different ways, broke with prevailing orthodoxies, opposing nuclear brinkmanship, militarism, racism, and war, and how their evolving commitments to peace may have placed them in direct conflict with powerful institutions. This episode invites listeners into a profound reconsideration of one of the most turbulent eras in American history. It is a story of conscience and consequence and of how the unresolved traumas of the 1960s continue to echo in political life today.Footnotes:Books by James W.

Der Krieg gegen den Iran wird anders ausgehen, als die USA und Israel denken. Das sagen Kritiker aus den USAEin Kommentar von Tilo Gräser.Mit dem Angriff der USA und Israels auf den Iran seit Samstag und der Ermordung von dessen Führungspersonen zeigt sich: In Washington und Tel Aviv regieren Verbrecher, die für ihre Interessen den Mittleren Osten in Brand stecken. Es gibt keine Rechtfertigung für diesen Krieg gegen den Iran. Auch die politische Verfasstheit der Islamischen Republik Iran rechtfertigt nicht den erneuten Bruch jeglichen Völker- und internationalen Rechts sowie die begangenen Mordtaten.US-Präsident Donald Trump hatte den neuen Angriff mit einer klassischen Kriegslüge begründet: Irans "bedrohliche Aktivitäten gefährden direkt die Vereinigten Staaten, unsere Truppen, unsere Stützpunkte im Ausland und unsere Verbündeten auf der ganzen Welt". Inzwischen wurde bekannt, dass das US-Kriegsministerium Pentagon über keinerlei Informationen eines bevorstehenden Angriffs des Iran auf die USA verfügte, der Trumps "Präventivschlag" rechtfertigen würde. Auch für den Bau einer iranischen Atombombe gibt es bis heute keinerlei Beweise.Wie lange dieser neue Krieg dauern wird, ist heute nicht abzuschätzen. Trump behauptet, die USA könnten länger als die geplanten vier bis fünf Wochen durchhalten. Israel will sowieso bis zum „Endsieg“ auch in diesem Fall weitermachen und auch der Iran hat angekündigt, einen langen Atem zu beweisen. Klar ist: Die Zahl der zivilen Opfer wird steigen, wenn die USA und Israel noch mehr zivile Gebäude bombardieren. Der iranische Rote Halbmond meldet bereits mehrere Hundert getötete Menschen, darunter viele Kinder.Angesichts der Flut der Informationen und Meinungen zu dem Krieg folgt ein unvollständiger Überblick über kritische Einschätzungen und Analysen aus den USA. Es ist ein Angebot, die Ereignisse besser zu verstehen und die Folgen abschätzen zu können.Der Angriff folgt aus Sicht des US-Ökonomen Jeffrey Sachs einer Strategie, die die USA und Israel bereits seit rund 30 Jahren verfolgen. Das sagte er in einem Videogespräch mit einem der Betreiber des Portals India & Global Left, das am Sonntag veröffentlicht wurde.„Die USA und Israel streben nach der Vorherrschaft in Westasien. Und das wurde durch eine Reihe von Kriegen mit dem Iran als großem Ziel umgesetzt, die eigentlich schon seit Netanjahus Amtsantritt als israelischer Premierminister andauern.“Das sei vor allem eine langfristige Strategie der beiden Geheimdienste CIA und Mossad, die eine „Blutspur im Nahen Osten“ hinterlassen habe. Diese reiche von Libyen über Syrien und den Irak bis zum Sudan, einschließlich des Völkermordes im Gaza-Streifen und dem Westjordanland. Von Beginn an sei es das Ziel gewesen, im Iran einen Regimewechsel herbeizuführen. Auch der neue Versuch dazu werde scheiten, so Sachs. Er befürchtet aber, „dass die Folgen für die Welt sehr schwerwiegend sein werden“....https://apolut.net/usa-und-israel-als-verlierer-von-tilo-graser/ Hosted on Acast.

As leaders, generals and diplomats gather in Munich this weekend to debate Europe's security and the future of the transatlantic alliance, the real question is not what is said on stage, but what direction Europe is being steered toward.  In this livestream, Yanis Varoufakis and Jeffrey Sachs will examine the conclusions of the Munich Security Conference — and the wider headlines, reactions and signals surrounding it — separating rhetoric from reality. Is "strategic autonomy" taking shape, or are old dependencies being reinforced? What does Munich reveal about Ukraine, NATO and Europe's room to manoeuvre? An essential hour for anyone trying to understand where Europe is headed. Hosted by Mehran Khalili. Join us live and put your questions to the panel!

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : The Strategic Risks of Fighting IranSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ein Kommentar von Rainer Rupp.Es war mehr als nur Real-Satire als die amerikanische Delegation vor wenigen Tagen bei dem Treffen in Oman Iran beschuldigt, bei der Niederschlagung der von Israel und Washington angefeuerten Demonstranten, die den iranischen Ordnungskräfte nach Kiewer Maidan-Vorbild stundenlange Feuergefechte lieferten, die Menschenrechte missachtet zu haben. Das muss man sich vor Augen halten, ausgerechnet die Amerikaner, die den israelischen Genozid in Gaza mit Waffen, Geld und politischem Wohlwollen unterstützen, machen den Iranern Vorhaltungen, weil sie bei der Unterdrückung der laut Westmedien „friedlichen Demonstranten“ deren Menschenrechte verletzt hätten.Diese Real-Satire wird noch irrer, wenn man bedenkt, dass es israelische, amerikanische und andere westliche Geheimdienste waren, die für die Organisation, die Finanzierung und für die mediale Choreografie der Aufstände der gewalt-extremistischen, „Revolutionäre“ verantwortlich waren. Deren Friedfertigkeit kann an den hunderten Toten, namentlich genannten Ordnungskräften gemessen werden. Diese jüngsten amerikanischen Menschenrechtsvorwürfe, die von Washington auch als weiterer Grund für den Aufbau der militärischen Drohkulisse gegen Iran genannt wird, ist zweifellos ein neuer Gipfelrekord westlicher Heuchelei. Der wird nur noch übertroffen durch die Tatsache, dass sich Mitglieder der Trump-Regierung in aller Öffentlichkeit rühmen, auch noch die Ursachen der Krise in Iran absichtlich herbeigeführt zu haben, um durch Chaos einen gewaltsamen Umsturz und einen Regimewechsel in Teheran herbeizuführen.Vor dem Bankenausschuss des US-Senats erklärte US-Finanzminister Scott Bessent am Donnerstag letzte Woche ausdrücklich, dass die USA gezielt eine Finanzkrise im Iran verursacht hätten, um Unruhen im Land zu schüren. Auf die Frage von Senatorin Katie Britt, was die USA noch tun könnten, um Druck auf den Ayatollah und den Iran auszuüben, erklärte Bessent, dass das Finanzministerium eine "Strategie" umgesetzt habe, die darauf abzielte,„die iranische Währung zu untergraben, die die Wirtschaft zum Absturz brachte und die gewalttätigen Proteste auslöste, die wir im ganzen Land gesehen haben.“ Weiter führte Bessent aus, dass er bei einer Rede im Wirtschaftsclub im März letzten Jahres „die Strategie bereits skizziert“ habe.„Es kam zu einem schnellen und ich würde sagen großartigem Höhepunkt im Dezember 2025, als eine der größten Banken im Iran unterging. Es gab einen Run auf die Bank, die Zentralbank musste Geld drucken, die iranische Währung ging in den freien Fall, die Inflation explodierte, und daher haben wir das iranische Volk auf der Straße gesehen.”Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass Bessent solche Aussagen machte. Bei seiner Rede auf dem Weltwirtschaftsforum in Davos im vergangenen Monat sagte der US-Finanzminister folgendes:„Präsident Trump hat das Finanzministerium und unsere OFAC-Abteilung, das Amt für die Kontrolle ausländischer Vermögenswerte, angewiesen, maximalen Druck auf den Iran auszuüben. Und das hat funktioniert, denn im Dezember ist deren Wirtschaft zusammengebrochen. Es herrscht Dollarmangel. Sie sind nicht in der Lage, Importe zu tätigen, und deshalb sind die Menschen auf die Straße gegangen. …. Das ist unsere wirtschaftliche Staatskunst. Ohne dass ein (amerikanischer) Schuss gefallen ist, und die Dinge entwickeln sich dort sehr positiv.“Nach diesen Äußerungen schrieb Professor Jeffrey Sachs auf common dreams unter dem Titel: "Wirtschaftsstaatskunst entlarvt: Eine wichtige Säule der hybriden Kriegsführung der USA, jetzt für alle sichtbar“. Im Untertitel heißt es:„Es ist sicherlich keine Diplomatie und es ist kein Zwang. Es ist ein Krieg, der mit wirtschaftlichen Mitteln geführt wird, um eine Wirtschaftskrise und soziale Unruhen hervorzurufen, die zum Sturz der Regierung führen.“...https://apolut.net/neuer-gipfelrekord-westlicher-heuchelei-von-rainer-rupp/ Hosted on Acast.

The newly released Epstein-related documents are filled with unquestionably horrible allegations, including sworn statements accusing powerful figures of sexual abuse, blackmail, and involvement in trafficking networks, yet many files remain hidden — no doubt to protect elites. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger reference Elon Musk's claim that Trump appears in the Epstein files and speculate that geopolitical pressure, particularly involving Israel and major donors, explains why full disclosure has not occurred.  Throughout, the discussion repeatedly cites graphic allegations from affidavits and complaints, while emphasizing that only a fraction of the total documents have been released and that no clients have been prosecuted. The broader theme is systemic impunity, media silence, and the use of kompromat to control U.S. political leadership. Plus segments on the media commentators whose dismissal of the Epstein files are looking the worst today, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's surprising admission about the Iran protests and why even after the latest release, the Epstein files remain a huge coverup protecting powerful interests.

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Trump's Illegal and Reckless InvasionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The United Nations Security Council's first meeting of 2026 heard a global chorus of UN member states strongly denounce the United States' strike in Venezuela as a grave violation of the UN Charter, although a US representative defended it as a "surgical law enforcement operation".At Monday's emergency session, Sun Lei, China's deputy permanent representative to the UN, urged Washington to heed the international community's "overwhelming voice", comply with international law and the UN Charter, halt actions that infringe on other countries' sovereignty and security, stop toppling Venezuela's government, and return to dialogue and negotiations as the path to a political solution.Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, seized and brought to the US on Saturday after a large-scale US strike in the South American nation, pleaded not guilty in federal court in New York on Monday to charges of narco-terrorism. Crowds of protesters gathered outside the courthouse, many voicing opposition to the US action against Venezuela.Sun expressed China's "deep shock" and strong condemnation of what he described as the "unilateral, illegal and bullying acts" of the US, and he called for Washington to ensure the safety of Maduro and his wife, and to release them immediately."The US has placed its own power above multilateralism and military actions above diplomatic efforts,"Sun said, warning that such actions pose a grave threat to peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean and even internationally.He said the US military strikes "wantonly trampled" on Venezuela's sovereignty and violated core tenets of the UN Charter, including the principles of sovereign equality, noninterference in internal affairs, peaceful settlement of international disputes, and prohibition of the use of force in international relations."The lessons of history are a stark warning," Sun said, adding that military means are not the solution to international problems, and the indiscriminate use of force will only lead to greater crises.He cited past US actions, such as bypassing the Security Council to launch military operations against Iraq, attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, and the imposition of economic sanctions, military strikes and armed occupations in Latin America and the Caribbean.Those actions caused persistent conflict, instability and immense suffering for ordinary people, he said.The envoy reiterated that China firmly supports the Venezuelan government and people in safeguarding their sovereignty, security and legitimate rights and interests, and supports countries in the region in upholding Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace.He called on the US to change course, cease bullying and coercive practices, and develop relations and cooperation with countries in the region on the basis of mutual respect, equality and noninterference in internal affairs.Addressing the UN meeting, US economist Jeffrey Sachs said that the US military action and ongoing pressure violate Article 2, Section 4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.Sachs, president of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, called these actions part of a long-standing US pattern of "covert regime change", citing a historical record of 70 such operations between 1947 and 1989 alone.The US should "immediately cease and desist from all explicit and implicit threats or uses of force against Venezuela", he said.Sachs said, "Peace, and the survival of humanity, depends on whether the United Nations Charter remains a living instrument of international law, or is allowed to wither into irrelevance."At the meeting, Russia's UN ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, also called for the immediate release of Maduro and his wife.The Russian envoy called the US military action in Venezuela a "crime cynically perpetrated" and a harbinger of a return to an era of "lawlessness", stressing that any conflicts must be resolved through dialogue as enshrined in the UN Charter.Backers of the US military operation in Venezuela, including Argentina, framed the action as a law-enforcement, anti-narco-terrorism step and argued it could open a path to restoring democracy.Representatives of many countries pushed back by arguing that democracy cannot be delivered through force and coercion, and that any political outcome must be decided by Venezuelans through peaceful and lawful means.Leonor Zalabata Torres, Colombia's UN envoy, said that "democracy cannot be promoted or defended through violence or coercion", and Venezuela deserves peace and democracy, prosperity and dignity, with a government whose sovereignty is defined by no one but the Venezuelan people and their institutions.Mexico's UN envoy, Hector Vasconcelos, warned that "regime change by external actors and the application of extraterritorial measures" is contrary to international law and that, historically, all such actions have done is to exacerbate conflicts and weaken the social and political fabric of nations.Paula Narvaez Ojeda, Chile's UN representative, noted that foreign interference caused extreme damage to her nation, and she stressed that democracy is best recovered through "the strength of organized citizens and through our institutions".Spain's representative to the UN, Hector Gomez Hernandez, said that democracy "cannot be imposed by force" and "force never brings more democracy".Brazil's UN ambassador, Sergio Franca Danese, said that international norms are "mandatory and universal" and do not allow for exceptions based on ideological, geopolitical or economic interests, such as the "exploitation of natural or economic resources".The envoy dismissed the notion that "the end justifies the means", saying that such reasoning lacks legitimacy and grants the strongest the right to define what is just or unjust while imposing decisions on the weakest.Representatives from other countries also emphasized that the US military intervention constituted a fundamental breach of the UN Charter and the principles of sovereign equality.France's representative said that when a permanent member of the Security Council violates the UN Charter, it "chips away at the very foundation of the international order".South Africa warned that "no nation can claim to be legally or morally superior" to another.Pakistan said that unilateral military action "contravenes these sacrosanct principles", while the A3 group, consisting of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia and Liberia, said full respect for states' sovereignty and territorial integrity under the UN Charter is an essential foundation for international cooperation and peaceful coexistence.

Send us a textJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and historian Michael J. Carley, retired Professeur at the Université de Montréal, for a discussion of his groundbreaking trilogy on the international crises of the 1930s: Stalin's Gamble, Stalin's Failed Alliance, and Stalin's Great Game. Drawing on decades of archival research, Carley challenges the familiar Cold War narrative that paints Stalin and Hitler as “dual dictators” and instead uncovers a forgotten history of the Soviet Union's sustained efforts to build a collective security alliance against Nazi Germany.Sachs and Carley explore how Britain, France, and the United States repeatedly rejected these overtures, shaped by anti-communism, imperial interests, and deep-seated prejudices that cast the USSR - not Hitler - as the greater threat. This strategic blindness, Carley argues, helped pave the way to World War II and has since been obscured by Western historiography and popular culture.This episode offers listeners a powerful narrative of missed opportunities, ideological blinders, and the consequences of mistrust among great powers. It is a story from the 1930s with striking resonance today, revealing how historical misunderstanding can shape international politics, and how the failures of statecraft then echo in our world now.The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Venezuela and the Collapse of International LawSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Volodymyr Ishchenko, currently at the Institute for East European Studies, Freie Universität Berlin, discusses his latest book, Towards the Abyss: Ukraine from Maidan to War (Verso, 2024) and forthcoming paper “Post-Soviet vicious circle: revolution as a reproduction of a crisis of hegemony” (co-authored with Oleg Zhuravlev). Historicising how post-Soviet revolutions in Ukraine have functioned, Ishchenko considers how the 2014 Euromaidan revolution produced a weaker state whose fate, instead of being decided by Moscow, has been directed by Washington or Brussels. Delineating how the 2022 war is, in part, the culmination of Ukraine's history in relationship to Russia, where cross-national capital allied itself with the local professional middle classes and where anti-nationalist arguments clashed with the tendency to understand the war within the context of Ukraine's perceived colonial struggle, Ishchenko observes how these primordial, ethno-nationalist readings lend themselves to a larger teleology. Detailing how the war in 2022 becomes the culmination of this story, a sort of parable of the struggling, emerging nation, Ishchenko explores how the narrative construction of Ukrainian nationhood mirrors the creation of the nation-state, like many countries from the 19th century onward. He also interrogates the various theories that proffer origins of the war as being rooted in the Russia-NATO conflict, as maintained by Jeffrey Sachs and John Mearsheimer. Instead, Ishchenko considers an alternative reading of this history, positing that the war in Ukraine has little to do with the inclusion of Ukraine within NATO, nor is it about NATO's inclusion of neighbouring countries. Instead, Ishchenko contends that the 2022 war is a culmination of Russia's exclusion from the process and dialogues by and around NATO.
