Green & Red has been at the forefront of refuting the various romantic versions, lies,and conspiracy theories about JFK and we once again discuss the reality of Kennedy. For decades now, especially after Oliver Stone's JFK created the idea that Kennedy had changed course and was going to withdraw from Vietnam, develop a relationship with Cuba, and end the Cold War, various pundits and commentators, including many on the Left, have accepted Stone's revisionist ideas and now present them as fact.But the reality, rooted in documents and archives, is very different. Kennedy was a consummate Cold Warrior who came to office dedicated to flex American muscle and extend American empire. We began by discussing his approach to Latin America, where he made the overthrow of Castro in Cuba one of his first priorities at the Bay of Pigs and then, despite Stone's insistence he'd had a change of heart and mind after the Missile Crisis continued to subvert Cuba in the hopes of ousting the government there. Meanwhile, he developed an internal security model for all of Latin America in order to prevent Left movements from gaining momentum. In this context he also subverted governments in places like Brazil and Guyana.Of course, the main point of Stone's argument related to Vietnam, where he and his followers claim that JFK had decided to wind down and withdraw from Vietnam in 1963. The reality was very different. Kennedy actually ignored the advice of U.S. military officials, who consistently warned that Vietnam was not an American security priority, that American troops weren't well-trained and prepared to fight a jungle guerrilla war, and he authorized a coup against Ngo Dinh Diem, surely a sign that he was not preparing a withdrawal.Conspiracies are anti-political . . . the seek good individuals and heroes and posit that nefarious characters in the "deep state" are upending the better angels in government. These theories distract us, especially on the Left, from analyzing systems and structures, like the ruling class. The continued obsession with Stone's conspiracies may be lucrative for some, but they're a dead end for people trying to make sense of American power and resist it.For more on this, see "JFK: 60 Years of Myths and Disinformation" with links to relevant articles and podcasts, at https://afflictthecomfortable.org/2023/11/22/jfk-60-years-of-myths-and-disinformation/——————-

When World War II ended 80 years ago, the fighting ended but global stability and peace did not emerge. Instead, a "Cold War" between the forces of capitalism and communism, represented by the U.S. and Soviet Union, dominated global politics and led to instability, interventions, wars, a militarized economy, a mass-surveillance National Security State, and so much more---and its legacy continued to this day as we look at Venezuela, Palestine, Iran, and other places across the globe.The U.S. posed the Cold War as a battle between "freedom" and Soviet domination, but that was always a ruse as the Americans held overwhelming dominance in all major military and economic matters. The U.S. had emerged from the war with global hegemony while the USSR had lose about 25 million people, a million farms and factories, and half its economy.So, 80 years later, it's important to examine and understand the role of the U.S. in using its power to create global dominance, disrupt 3rd World development, and destabilize countries across the globe. ----------------------------------

It's the 60th anniversary of the failed coup in Indonesia, the rise of the dictator Suharto and the removal of popular leader Sukarno. The events that followed the coup led to a period mass killings across the archipelago nation. It's estimated that anywhere between 500,000-3 million people, mostly members of the PKI (the Indonesian Communist Party), were killed. Besides the mass murder of PKI members and anyone else identified as an opponent to the regime, Suharto's forces carried out an erasure of the history and culture of the opposition. Since the fall of Suharto in 1998, declassified documents have shown us the significant role that the Indonesia military took in the genocide and the role western governments (the U.S., the U.K., Australia) played in Suharto's takeover.To discuss all of this, we're re-joined by Dr. Clinton Fernandes. We discuss the history of Indonesia's failed coup and the subsequent genocide, the role of western governments and politics in Indonesia today. Bio//Clinton Fernandes is an Australian historian and scholar who is professor of international and political studies at the University of New South Wales in Canberra, Australia.-----------------

The Democratic Party won big on Tuesday but what does it mean? They're still running away from Zohran Mandani while promoting "centrists" like Navy Vet Mikie Sherrill and CIA operative Abigail Spanberger. Meanwhile, there's conflict within the Republican Party brewing with Marjorie Taylor Greene possibly seeing cracks in Trump's armor and calling him out on Israel, health care, the Epstein Files, and even aid to Argentina, while the establishment GOP is just shocked, shocked that Tucker Carlson platformed Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes. Amid the condemnations no one is reminding Americans that Fuentes was Trump's guest at Mar-a-Largo.In the end, the Democrats remain the Washington Generals of Politics.--------

Arch-war criminal and former Vice-President Dick Cheney has died. A consummate DC insider who was White House Chief-of-Staff, Defense Secretary, CEO of Halliburton, and Vice President, he shaped and reshaped the GOP and the conservative movement. Responsible for the Global War on Terror and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, he promoted the invasion of Iraq based on blatant lies. Brown University estimated over 4.5 million people died in the post-9/11 forever wars. He also changed government policy on "enhanced interrogation" (i.e. torture) and mass surveillance. And despite his redemption by liberals in recent years because of his opposition to Donald Trump, his politics and polities paved the way for Trump. In this episode, we discuss Dick Cheney, Trump and fanboy liberals redeeming Cheney. Today, we don't mourn Dick Cheney, only his victims. ----------------------------

While, in fact, it's an opportunity for his administration to target and destroy a broader network of left and progressive groups. We're living in challenging times with crises around war in the Middle East, renewed McCarthyist attacks on free speech, corporate domination of everyday life, escalating climate disasters and, now, a fascist takeover of our government. As Will Potter has said, “The intention is to capitalize on this to crack down on their opponents and to consolidate authoritarian power.” We're also living in a time where large numbers of people have taken to the streets to confront those responsible for these crises. Today's state repression is aimed to eliminate that opposition. This panel will explore the ongoing conflict between democratic resistance movements and state repression and lessons that we can use to push back against this authoritarian takeover. Panelist Bios// **Will Potter is an award-winning investigative journalist and TED Senior Fellow who exposes political repression and the erosion of civil liberties. His reporting and commentary have appeared in The Washington Post, Foreign Policy, and Rolling Stone. He is the author of “Green is the New Red” and his new book is “Little Red Barns: Hiding The Truth, From Farm To Fable.” **Meg Kalaw is an organizer with Gabriela Berkeley, a local organization of Filipina women that fights for genuine liberation and national democracy in the Philippines. Currently, Gab Berkeley is waging the Chevron Out of the Philippines campaign, to expose the corporate plunder that multinational corporations like Chevron enact in the Philippines and the particular impacts on peasant and indigenous women and children. Meg is also the regional coordinator of the International League of People's Struggles NorCal, a regional alliance of anti-imperialist organizations in the Bay Area who are united under fighting state repression and promoting international solidarity. **John Viola is a Bay Area civil rights and criminal defense attorney. ** Sara Kershnar is the co-founder and international coordinator of the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network established in 2007.

In real time, , we're seeing Trump's authoritarian forces moving to consolidate power with an "authoritarian playbook" used in the past and other parts of the world. While institutions like the Democratic Party, Harvard and Columbia and the nation's big law firms capitulate, we're seeing resistance from the streets of Washington D.C., Chicago, Portland and Los Angeles.

It's the 40th anniversary of the founding of Rainforest Action Network (RAN). So we're reposting this 2021 interview with RAN co-founder Randy Hayes.The 1980s saw a new consciousness of environmental awareness, particularly around the Earth's rain forests. Scientists had discovered that, aside from their enormous biodiversity, rainforests also helped to keep carbon from being released into the atmosphere. Corporations in the U.S. and Europe saw tropical rainforests as a means for profit. For a long time, Indigenous communities had stood against industrial development and deforestation. And by the 1980s, environmental groups in Europe and Australia had been actively fighting deforestation on a grassroots level. But in the U.S. environmental movements had failed to evoke widespread activism on the subject. This episode is about the emergence of rainforest movements in the U.S. in the 1980s with one of the founders of Rainforest Action Network (RAN)-- Randy Hayes.We interview Randy about the history of the movement to save tropical rainforests, corporate campaigning in the early days of RAN and being in solidarity with Indigenous communities around the globe. Randy also talks about biodiversity loss and the ever smaller window of opportunity we have to halt and reverse the very worst of the damage. Bio// Described by the Wall Street Journal as “an environmental pit bull,” Randy Hayes is the co-founder of Rainforest Action Network, and is an author, filmmaker and environmentalist. Hayes is a veteran of many high-visibility corporate accountability campaigns and has advocated for the rights of Indigenous peoples throughout the world. He is currently the executive director of Foundation Earth and a consultant to the World Future Council, based in Washington, DC.-----------------------

This week, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump ranted to the assembled leadership of the U.S. armed forces about fitness, wokeness and the "war within." Hegseth told the generals and admirals that they were too fat, while low energy Trump gave a rambling speech about many things that included using American cities a "training grounds" for military operations. The brass didn't seem amused. In our latest, we give a history of military dissent and civilian-military relations from the Vietnam War era to the Iraq war and talk about Generals David Shoup, Anthony Zinni and Eric Shinseki.
