On this episode of Sunday Wire James joins Patrick Henningsen for a deeper discussion about the next phase of the Syrian Quagmire which is currently unfolding, as we examine ‘The Troubles in Asia Minor’ – complexities and realities of the ever chaotic and shifty sands between Anatolia, Kurdistan, Damascus and Tel Aviv (and the swamps of Washington DC).

This week on the New World Next Week: Japan begins restarting its nuclear reactors; the EPA pollutes Colorado's animas river with 3 million gallons of toxic sludge; and an Indian activist raises awareness of Unilever's crimes by way of a viral music video.

Syria is once again the centre of attention with Washington and Ankara agreeing on ISIS-free zones that each partner is interpreting in its own way. Joining us to explore those interpretations is Sibel Edmonds of BoilingFrogsPost.com, just back from the region with intel on a possible timeline for increased military action in the country. In this conversation James and Sibel discuss Turkey's battle against the Kurds and how the Kurdish population are being used by the US and Israel as pawns in a complex chess game. We also examine the recent bombing in Suruc and signs that it was a false flag provocation.

Richard Heathen of LibertyMachineNews.com joins us today to discuss his documentary film, "Hidden Influence: The Rise of Collectivism." We discuss the meaning and history of collectivism, how it was inserted into the educational curriculum by the large corporate foundations of the robber barons, and how it is shaping society today through cultural Marxism and identity politics.

What is the nature of money? Did it really evolve out of barter, and, if not, why is that myth so prevalent? What theories of money have been proposed in the past and how do they hold up? What monetary alternatives are on the table and how can they be improved? These are the types of questions that will be explored in a new Massive Open Online Course on “Money and Society” being offered by the Institute for Leadership and Sustainability. Today James talks to course co-creator Dr. Jem Bendell about the course, what topics it will cover, and how people can register to take the course (starting August 23, 2015) for free.
