Israel-U.S. relationship examined: Ex-C.I.A. officer John Kiriakou, former U.S. Green Party V.P. candidate Ajamu Baraka and CN Editor Joe Lauria joined host Danny Haiphong on his webcast Sunday.
The Israel-US Relationship Under the Microscope
The guests discussed the U.S.-Israeli relationship, the C.I.A and the Mossad, the “ceasefire” in Gaza, the information war Israel is losing in the U.S. and the role technology is playing in it, the British Terrorism Act, the war in Ukraine and the general age of peril the world is living through.
Clockwise: Danny Haiphong, John Kiriakou and Joe Lauria.
The five eyes network began during WWII and was formalised at the end of the War.
This was a terrific conversation at a depth I had not ever heard in one show. Thanks very much to all of you.
Apparently we are terrified of living peacefully, we (Israel, U.S.A) are willing to kill everybody, destroy infrastructure, and defend genocide to avoid it. Our leaders’ lunacy is protecting us from experiencing freedom, which to be truthful, is scary.
Having just read Neil Postman’s book, Entertaining Ourselves to Death, it’s clear to me that TV has done it’s damage to our culture! There would not be a Trump without TV and Fox News. Without any kind of campaign finance reform and limitations to political advertising our culture will continue the path towards ignorance and outright stupidity.
Good book. The only way I see to destroy the negative effects of TV is to abolish corporations. They are artificial constructs that have overtaken the public commons. Revoke all their charters and have public boards populated by volunteers to oversee programming so there is no profit motive in decision making.
Excellent idea Lois which if executed would lift spirits everywhere and people would get their full breath back.
