GARLAND NIXON—An in-depth discussion of current conditions in Ukraine and the Middle East with analysts Ritter and Martyanov concluding that both conflicts will end with a huge setback for the US empire, and most shocking to many, with the complete defeat of Ukraine’s Neonazi regime, and the beginning of the dissolution of Israel as an Apartheid state. This discussion is quite probably the most important forecast of what the world will likely see in the near future, barring a nuclear Armageddon triggered by a desperate Empire. The second part (Bonus Feature) is Garland’s conversation with leading analyst Joti Brar, head of Great Britain’s Communist Party, about the US Empire’s rapid unraveling due to over-reach, arrogance and the appalling mediocrity of its leadership (which is, in itself, a huge danger to all of humanity).

BRUCE LERRO—For the most part, the use of electronic media, especially television, had a debilitating impact on political rhetoric.

For various reasons, over the years the attention span of the public got shorter and shorter in part because there was a lot to see on television and also because the pace of life quickened.

Politico Does Journalism: “We Volunteered at a Gaza Hospital. What We Saw Was Unspeakable.”
70 minutes readEDITORS—The constant begging for money, the malnourished population, the open sewage — all of that was familiar to us as veteran war zone doctors. But add in the incredible population density, the overwhelming numbers of badly maimed children and amputees, the constant hum of drones, the smell of explosives and gunpowder — not to mention the constant earth-shaking explosions — and it’s no wonder UNICEF has declared the Gaza Strip as “the world’s most dangerous place to be a child.” We have always gone where we were most needed. In March, it was obvious that the place was the Gaza Strip.

Bye bye, Tel Aviv? Yemen’s promised retaliation against Israel could sink the state | Ep. 35
8 minutes readEDITORS—The panel discusses how a Yemeni drone got through, considering that several neighboring countries, like Egypt and Jordan, not to mention US and EU assets, are often deployed to keep airstrikes like these from occurring. The West appears confused about Yemen’s capabilities; they certainly have great ability to hide their military assets, and absorb punishment.
