Michael Parenti: The U.S. War on Yugoslavia

In light of the current tensions in West Africa surrounding the situation in Niger, I would like to broadcast this talk by Dr Michael Parenti from 1999 in which he outlines the horrific destruction of the nation of Yugoslavia at the hands of Western Imperialism. Given that the U.S. and France are moving to plunge West Africa into war in 2023, we must ensure that the past does not repeat itself. Hands off Niger!

Episode 2023.16.00. Education is the Predictor of the Future to a Country

Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2023.16.00 Published on August 20th, 2023 Education is the Predictor of the Future to a Country With Clips from John Taylor Gatto and The Dollop Please Donate to keep CWB Alive! Donate to: CashApp $CWBPodcast & Paypal @CWBPodcast 12 Month Goals: 300 at $5 100 at $10 100 at $20 25 at $21+ There was a saying amongst slave-keepers, I’ll paraphrase it here; “If you teach someone to read (think) they’ll expect freedom, if you limit that capacity then they’ll expect whatever you suit them to expect”. As a society, education is becoming a tool used to control people’s capacity to think beyond a certain point where their actions can be predictable. This episode is dedicated to the reality created by such a system. Obviously I speak about many connected topics, but the central theme is the future we are creating by treating education so passively. Music Used in the opening, Curtis Mayfield’s Think, Brandy’s The Definition and Marvin Gaye’s Inner City Blues If you have any questions, comments or concerns please contact me at vphiamer.adis.ogaarwa@outlook.com Follow me on Facebook @ClassWarBattlefieldPodcast, on Twitter @VphiamerAdisOgaarwa

The role and responsibility of American Jews to confront the established Jewish organizations concerning the apartheid state of Israel and its military occupation of the Palestinian people (R)

This week we critically examine the role and responsibility of American Jews to confront the established Jewish organizations, the Jewish Lobby, and local synagogues concerning the apartheid state of Israel and its military occupation of the Palestinian people. Our Congress and Government officials will not back away from the sickening support they give to Israel until enough of us challenge the choke hold that the Jewish establishment, like AIPAC, and other political PACs have on Congress because of the enormous amount of money they pay into the electoral process. To guide us through this conversation we hear from Dorothy Zellner, a civil rights movement icon, and Phil Weiss, co-founder of the news service Mondoweiss. They both grew in up in Jewish families, and have become leaders in the movement to confront the Jewish establishment and the Zionist movement concerning the occupation of Palestine and the continuing, illegal theft of Palestinian land. (Replay from 3-26-2023)

Juan Martinez— Shamanism in the Ecuadorian Jungle

Concepts of “reality” have many levels, some of which are gained by fasting, and/or the use of certain plants that allow a person to view the past, present or and future. This is especially true for cultures which cherish and practice the oral tradition and thrive among an abundance of flora and fauna, like those located in the Amazon basin of South America. In Ecuador the knowledge of the effects of the various plants in the Amazon basin is held by Shamans. Dr. Juan Martinez, our guest in this edition of Radio Curious, is a Professor of History and Anthropology at the University of Cuenca, in Cuenca, Ecuador. He’s studied, written and lectured about Shamanic practices in the Ecuadorian jungle and the medicinal and spiritual effects of the plants native to the eastern portion of the Amazon basin. Professor Juan Martinez and I visited in his office in Cuenca, Ecuador on November 17, 2005. He began by describing the relationship of the people of Ecuadorian jungle to their worlds, the spiritual world, and the world in which they live on a daily basis. The book Juan Martinez recommends is “Amazon Worlds,” a collected work published by Sinchi Sancha, an indigenous foundation based in Ecuador. Originally Broadcast: December 5, 2005.

A briefing from Jerusalem by Jeff Halper; Chris Hedges interviews presidential candidate Cornel West

We begin with an on-the-ground briefing from Jerusalem by our old friend Jeff Halper, a now retired College Professor who grew up in Hibbing MN but migrated to Israel in 1973 where he has been an activist for Palestinian rights ever since. He is the co-founder of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICHAD), a resistance group that confronts the Israeli military in its program of systematically destroying Palestinian homes to exert collective punishment. Jeff is a world-class explainer which is why he is such a frequent guest on This Week In Palestine. This is his latest update which he offers monthly on his ICHAD website. Cornel West is running for President as a third party candidate in the 2024 election. I do not want to get into whether this is a good or bad idea, we all have our opinions. But his anti-Colonial, anti-imperialist platform and human rights focus are what this country needs to hear throughout the election season. Cornel West is a pro-Palestinian activist, University Professor, and speaker of truth to power. This morning we feature Cornel articulating his agenda to, as he would put it, “free the wretched of the Earth”. He has chosen the Presidential campaign as his latest platform for confrontation.

Ray McGovern, Veteran CIA Analyst on Russia, Warns of Nuclear War

McGovern told Bob Scheer: “I spent six decades following Soviet and now Russian policy. Most of that time professionally… I have never, never had so much fear that we are on the cusp of a nuclear catastrophe.” They discuss why the danger is so high right now, and how a peace agreement could be reached.

History They're Trying to Suppress - Slavery and Its Role in Building the American Empire: Edward Baptist, “The Half Has Never Been Told”

From intimate slave narratives & other sources, the book shows how the expansion of slavery drove the evolution & modernization of the US, making the South a cotton empire, and the US a global capitalist power. Through forced migration and torture, slave owners extracted continual increases in production from enslaved African Americans to give the US control of the world cotton market.

This interview, conducted in 2003 by the late Kellia Ramares-Watson, brings out Dashu's primary analysis of how and why some cultures have been and still are maternal-centric and focused on peace and survival, while others - especially under pressure from invaders - have become patriarchal, hierarchical, and suppressive of women.

Following the Money: Alex Kotch on Charitable Giving

They say charity is a virtue, but sometimes it’s a little more complicated. The donor advised fund or DAF, has been a financial instrument for charitable giving in the United States for nearly a century – it’s a useful tool for wealthy individuals to make philanthropic donations. But as the inequality gap continues to expand in this country, the DAF has come under increased scrutiny as people push for transparency within the moneyed class. In 2018 the New York Times published a piece asserting that donor advised funds are being exploited by high net worth individuals as a way to shelter them from capital gains taxes. And more recently, this week’s guest on Sea Change Radio, Alex Kotch, wrote a piece for Optout and The New Republic examining the role of DAF fiduciary sponsors, particularly big investment firms like Fidelity, Vanguard, and Schwab. We discuss this article, learn more about DAFs, and explore the question of who should be held accountable when a donor advised fund facilitates donations to red-flagged hate groups.
