If people hear the word propaganda, they usually think about World War 1 and 2. But propaganda is actually one of the most powerful forces in 21st Century Britain. We are bombarded with it every day, and it affects the way we think about most important issues. In particular, it is intended to make us uncritical of the economic, financial, corporate, political and military systems.

This weeks episode is based on these two blogs by Rod:

It looks like the Labour Party hierarchy are determined to quash any possibility of future challenges to their 'authority' by making it financially impossible for grassroots members to have their say and take them to court or even on trial. A

After members lost their fight against the Labour Party at the final hearing last week, the allocation of judges should be questioned too.

Crimes of the Financial System | The Elephant in the room ep.5

Following the financial crisis that began in 2007, it became clear that banks were engaged in a huge range of criminal and unethical activities – mis-selling, rigging markets, money laundering, tax evasion, sub-prime mortgages, ripping off customers, and fraud on a massive scale. These crimes have not gone away, and the activities of the banks are as fraudulent as ever. The financial system is a clear example of an industry that is rotten to the core, and is no longer fit for purpose.

MMT: Fiat Socialism for the 21st Century

with Carlos García Hernández

‘Fiat socialism’ would enable an open and prosperous society governed by the principles of modern monetary theory (MMT). A society without unemployment or poverty, in which everybody had a decent job (either in the private sector, or in the public sector) allowing people to fulfil all their basic needs and coordinate their working and private life because of reasonable time schedules. A society in where public services, education and health access were of the highest quality, and in which the level of prices remain stable. This isn't just a socialist pipedream. By using MMT as a lens to understand the monetary system, it's a realistic possibility, but it requires the political will to jettison neoliberalism.

The Illusion of Democracy

Most people in Britain and the US believe that they live in a democracy. However, it is now so easy for rich and powerful people to manipulate politics that ordinary people have little influence over political decisions. On the most important issues, such as war or corporate power, there is little difference between the two major parties. Much decision-making takes place behind-the-scenes. Power is too centralised, there is too much secrecy and almost no accountability.

The Health Bill 2021, Gateway to Full NHS Privatisation!

The Health and Care Bill 2021-22 was announced in the Queen's speech on 11 May 2021.

Dr Bob Gill(Behind the documentary The Great NHS Heist) is here to explain why the Health Bill currently before Parliament poses an existential crisis to our NHS. Giving way to the full privatisation of the NHS.

How governments and the media help corporations get away with their crimes

The mainstream media give the impression that corporate crime is rare. In fact, we are surrounded by big companies committing crime on a daily basis. We have created a system that gives rich rewards to companies, executives and shareholders when companies commit serious crimes. Mostly, they are never caught or prosecuted. If an individual commits a crime, they can be locked up for many years. When a company is caught committing the same crimes, the usual penalty is a fine.

Elephant in the Room Ep.2 | How the Rich get Richer and Destroy Society

One of the most deceptive myths of modern times is that rich people earn their wealth, and that they are good for society. Neither of these is true. This presentation explains how the economy is rigged to put more wealth into the pockets of the rich, often without them having to do anything at all. It also shows that the presence of very wealthy people actually harms the rest of us.

Israel is stepping up its ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people, brazenly disregarding international law and routinely committing war crimes. We discuss what the international response should be with: Richard Boyd Barrett, Kerry-Anne Mendoza and Max Blumenthal.

Richard famously spoke the truth to the Israeli ambassador in committee at the Irish Parliament.

Max is the son of Sidney Blumenthal, former aide to President Bill Clinton, he started Grayzone in 2019 to talk more openly about the situation in the middle East.
