#414 -- Economics and Inequality, Part 1
Feb. 5, 2016, 8:31 p.m.
Economist Joseph Stiglitz shows that economic inequality in the US is bad, and it is getting worse. The causes are our dysfunctional style of capitalism and a political system that increasingly serves only the economic elite, not "the 99%."
Our economic inequality is bad for democracy, bad for the U.S. economy, even bad for capitalism, Stiglitz argues.
Stiglitz's talk is short on solutions, but it is an excellent, lucid, and very listenable survey of the problems we face--and their causes.

Paul Robeson, the Artist as Revolutionary
Feb. 5, 2016, 3:15 p.m.
Paul Robeson, the Artist as Revolutionary
with
Dr. Gerald Horne, Horne has written more than 30 books on the struggles of those marginalized throughout world history and is chair of History and African Studies at University of Houston. He is one of the most gifted and insightful historians on racial matters of his generation.
Gerald Horne discusses the Paul Robeson we've been waiting for: the flesh and blood revolutionary, artistic genius, and fearless opponent of capitalism, racism and colonialism. He recovers in meticulous detail one of the 20th century's greatest freedom fighters. Horne also brings Robeson to life for our own times. Gerald Horne returns Paul Robeson to his rightful place in history, squarely at the center of the Black freedom movement and the global struggle for human rights. As Horne demonstrates, Robeson knew no boundaries or borders-either in art, culture, nations, or politics. Struggle was his life; the world his terrain.

Feb. 5, 2016, 7:46 a.m.
This episode of the Global Research News Hour features an hour long conversation with Ward Churchill.
Churchill is an author, academic and political activist. He is the author of several books including Agents of Repression: The FBI's Secret Wars Against the Black Panther Party and the American Indian Movement. Which he co-authored with Jim Vander Wall, as well as his controversial 2003 work On the Justice of Roosting Chickens: Reflections on the Consequences of U.S. Imperial Arrogance and Criminality.
In this interview, Churchill discusses the history of Counterintelligence activities in the United States leading up to the COINTELPRO program of the 1960s, the involvement of the American Indian Movement in Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and the case of Leonard Peltier who he argues has been unjustly arrested and incarcerated.

African Union Backs Down on Decision to Send 5,000 Troops to Burundi
Feb. 4, 2016, 9:34 p.m.
Robin Philpot discusses his interview with Willy Nyamitwe, a spokesman for the Burundi government, regarding the stunning reversal of the African Union (AU) December decision to send 5,000 troops into Burundi to quell an artificial crisis.
Philpot added a very relevant and interesting catch-22 point: Burundi was elected to the Peace and Security Council that makes the decision to send in troops. It is in the Constitution of the Peace and Security Council and the African Union (AU) that they could not send in troops to any member of the Peace and Security Council. So, do they remove Burundi from the Council or do they abide democracy?
Foreign Policy is Domestic Policy: From Burundi to Flint
Feb. 4, 2016, 9:29 p.m.
Ford focuses on the US led attacks against the Burundi democracy, the African Union (AU) being consumed by the US Africom project, their "peacekeeping missions" being financed by the US and Europe who use bribery and call the shots, the imperialist International Criminal Court (ICC) which target only African leaders and from which many of the AU countries are now seeking an exit and the public relations disaster of Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
Ford discusses the recent lead poisoning of the water in Flint, Michigan, that affected more than 100,000 people and caused irreparable damage to the learning ability of thousands of children. He explains that the governor of Michigan appointed a "local emergency financial manager" who acts as a dictator with absolute power over the people. This is a crime against democracy. Every city in Michigan that is predominately Black has been put under the financial dictatorship leadership.

This week the entire program is given over to the featured Palestinian voice of activist Nidal Al Azraq. Nidal, born and raised in the Aida Refugee camp in Bethlehem, now lives in the Boston area where he is executive director of the nonprofit organization 1 for 3, which focuses on working to bring clean water to the West Bank of Palestine in the face of incredible shortages due to the discriminatory water policies of Israel. Israel's government completely controls all flow of water in both Israel and Palestine.
We sat down with Nidal in this extended conversation to discuss his people and his work.
We also hope you will join us again for next week's presentation, which will feature an interview with Nery Ramati, a leading human rights attorney in Israel, specializing in freedom of expression and protest. He has been representing Palestinian, Israeli and international human rights and anti-occupation activists in the military and civil courts since 2008.
