***EPISODE 578 | Syrian President Assad is implicated in another gas attack this time in the city of Douma killing 70 people including women and children. But why would he do this? We explore the rationale for and against Assad’s chemical attack.

Portland police kill a homeless man in a terrifying video. One homeless man with a knife versus at least a dozen police officers with guns drawn. The ACLU is calling for answers.

This week I will be discussing the Gaza-Israel Border Massacre. I speak briefly about it in this episode because I want you to know that I am paying attention to that issue.

Finally, I address some vociferous criticisms of Episode 577.
