Politics has been called a rigged game, with elites using money and 
organizational resources to pull the puppet strings of most candidates 
for high office. However, the entrance into the race for US president of
 candidates Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump who both reject funding from
 Wall Street threatens to challenge that truism.

This week’s Global Research News Hour attempts to cut through the 
propaganda and jargon and assess what real options are out there for 
making substantive and humane political change.

William Blum is a long-time critic of US foreign policy. He has authored five books including his most recent, America’s Deadliest Export: Democracy – The Truth About US Foreign Policy and Everything Else. He also publishes the “Anti-Empire Report” on his site www dot williamblum dot org.
 In this interview, Blum outlines his reservations about Hillary Clinton
 and Bernie Sanders, the problematic media coverage of the campaign, and
 the astonishing view that Trump may actually be the less objectionable 
in certain respects than both Sanders and Clinton.

Mark Robinowitz is publisher of oilempire dot us,
 a political map to connect the dots.  He has been a writer, political 
activist, ecological campaigner and permaculture practitioner for over 
three decades.  He is also author of the forthcoming Peak Choice: 
cooperation or collapse, an uncensored guide to Earth, energy and money.
 In this interview, Robinowitz equates the choice between the Democrats 
and the Republicans to one between death by lethal injection and death 
by the electric chair. He outlines the mechanisms employed to stop any 
threat to the establishment from ever becoming elected president. He 
also explains how the energy and economic decline is becoming reflected 
in the politics of the Trump campaign.

The first interview is with Linda Pentz Gunter, international specialist for the environmental advocacy group ‘Beyond Nuclear.’
 In this conversation, Gunter addresses the question of whether nuclear 
is being seriously explored as an alternative to the climate-ravaging 
fossil fuel industry. She also outlines aspects of the Fukushima 
cover-up, and why international bodies and media are failing to hold 
nuclear and government agencies to account.
In the final half hour, Portland-based Mimi German, Earth activist and founder of Radcast.org, speaks more about the cover-up, the nuclear situation in the U.S. and the consequences for society and all life on earth.
