Taylor Report: Canada and friends put on colonial hat for Iran

Phil Taylor and Phil Conlon discuss the importance of attending the anti-war demonstrations on January 25th, and then discuss the problem of NATO. Letting NATO manage West Asia instead of the U.S. is like letting Uncle Sam's left-hand run something instead of the right-hand.

Remarkably, after Trump's aggression against Iran, the European Union states are acting more hostile to Iran than before. Having heeded the call of their master, the European leadership has become more adversarial not only towards Iran, but to Iraq as well. Phil also describes how the Trump administration tore up the JCPOA, and yet 'the West' demands Iran continue to restrict itself under the deal nonetheless. There is a lot to say, as well, about how Canada is addressing the Islamic Republic of Iran.

This Week In Palestine: Joseph Massad on "Trump's Deal Of The Century"...

Our featured speaker today is Joseph Massad, one of our clearest and most articulate voices. Massad discusses "Trump's Deal of the Century: the Final Phase of the Oslo Accords." Here's an informal summary of the "deal": (1) the PLO, or now, PA is designated as the sole representative of all Palestinians, of course snuffing out Hamas and all dissenters; then (2) in "exchange" for a devastating package of even more crippling one-sided concessions by the PA, all remaining Palestinian hopes for a viable future (not to mention equal rights) are simply extinguished forever, thus achieving "peace"!

Before Massad's talk, we report on the Israel Lobby's continued efforts to punish or prohibit BDS or Palestine support or even an honest discussion of Israel's deadly oppression of Palestinians, particularly at universities. They continue to succeed in the enactment, temporarily, of blatantly unconstitutional laws with this goal.
