  • The real reasons for the US-Israeli war on Iran, explained
    The United States and Israel are waging war on Iran, but why? What are their real goals? Ben Norton explains the imperial strategy to impose US hegemony on West Asia (aka the Middle East), destroy the Axis of Resistance, colonize Palestine, destabilize the revolutionary Iranian government, preserve the petrodollar system, prevent de-dollarization, divide BRICS, and break up the Iran-Russia-China partnership.

  • Backstory to Assange's secret deal for freedom

    A year ago this week Julian Assange was released from prison after a 14-year fight for freedom. Assange accepted a guilty plea of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified U.S. documents in exchange for being returned home to Australia. But how did this deal come about and what happened in the lead-up to his return home? Journalist Andrew Fowler shares the inner-dealings and joins the dots on the backstory of the negotiations to release Assange.

    • Guest: Andrew Fowler - journalist and author of The Most Dangerous Man in the World: Julian Assange and his secret White House deal for freedom

    • NYC fiscal crisis: canonizing Felix once again

      I’ve got a review on The Nation‘s site of a new documentary on the NYC fiscal crisis, co-directed and -produced by Michael Rohatyn, son of the chief imposer of austerity 50 years ago, Felix Rohatyn. It was one of the opening battles of the class war from above, and the role of liberals like Felix in engineering it should never be forgotten.
