Stop the Extradition of Julian Assange

On February 24, 2020, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange's extradition hearing opened in a London court. The US government had said he is guilty of hacking into and publishing US military databases. The Trump administration raised the stakes significantly. They want to put him on trial under the espionage act, threatening Assange with 175 years in prison. Jennifer Robinson is a member of Julian Assange’s legal team. She spoke on February 4, 2020, at a public rally for Assange at the Royal National Hotel in London. Tariq Ali is a well know British author, film-maker, historian, political activist and editor who came to support Julian Assange.

Steve Almond: How To Take Back the White House in 2020

What can all the money in the world buy you? Thanks to the Beatles, we already know it’s not love, but could it perhaps buy you the most powerful office in the world? We may have an answer to this question as early as Super Tuesday, as one of the wealthiest humans on the planet attempts to buy the US presidency. This week on Sea Change Radio, we talk to author Steve Almond about the state of the Democratic primary. He offers his perspective on what we should be learning from Mike Bloomberg’s political ads that presently blanket our nation’s air waves, how the age of Trump changes the way that people view the field of presidential hopefuls, and what Democrats need to do if the nominee ends up being someone other than their favorite.

Syria's military campaign against Idlib terrorists should be praised

Phil interviews Stephen Gowans about his recent article, which is entitled "We should applaud the Syrian military’s actions in Idlib, not deplore them." Gowans turns on its ear the US / UN and MSM critique of the Syrian campaign to liberate the province of Idlib, which Brett McGurk has described as "the largest safe haven for Al Qaeda in the world." Rather than being critical of the Syrian government for dislodging Al Qaeda terrorists from its own territory, especially as they were maintaining an oppressive occupation on behalf of Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the USA, Gowans argues the world should laud Syria for protecting its own citizens and borders from foreign aggression, and driving out internationally-condemned terrorist organizations. This military campaign by Syria would not have been necessary if Turkey had lived up to its comittments in the Sochi Agreement to remove terrorists from the Idlib DeEscalation Zone. In addition, Phil notes that the Syrian Arab Army has a quite different modus operandi in fighting the terrorists than does the USA. The US approach to liberating Raqqa, for instance, involved destroying 85% of the city and killing thousands of Syrian citizens in a country in which the USA didn't even have permission to operate. The SAA, on the other hand, selectively tries to target terrorists and their assets, and open protected corridors for civilians to escape the fighting. These corridors and the civilians who use them are routinely fired upon by the terrorists. According to Gowans, the SAA is undertaking the necessary task which benefits the whole world.

interviews Author/activist Arnold August

Latin Waves host Sylvia Richardson speaks with journalist Arnold August about Canada’s imperialist campaign to recognize Juan Guaidó, a man who self-declared himself president of Venezuela in February 2019. Canada’s involvement in the failed attempted coup to oust democratically elected president Nicolas Maduro, Canada’s involvement in the Lima group has discredited any pretense of Canada as a democratic influence in Latin America. He connects the struggle of Bolivia as the Indigenous leader Evo Morales was ousted in a military coup, in November 2019 and Canada was quick to express support for the post-coup leader Jeanine Áñez Chávez. While in Canada the Wet’suwet’en people face aggression from the Canadian government for defending their unceeded lands from being further scared with pipelines.

#625 -- Climate Doom But Not Gloom, Part 1 (R)

Humans are doomed, and we'll be gone by 2050, says scientist Guy McPherson. Rapidly escalating climate change--triggered by our hydrocarbons--will destroy our habitat very soon.

This week, McPherson focuses on how serious the situation already is--and how mired in denial are all the leaders and institutions of the "civilization" that caused the calamity Next week: What to do?

Current events in Syria; Politicization of a public health issue in China

Aleppo is celebrating the removal of terrorists who, for years, have shelled and mortared civilians indiscriminately. Phil plays an audio clip of these celebrations, and chronicles the recent effort to dismantle the last terrorist strongholds in Syria. Syria's effort to free itself from an invasion by the U.S., Turkey, Israel, and the Gulf states is truly momentous. Syria has distinguished itself as one of the more resourceful Arab socialist groupings, and has strong ties with the Resistance Axis. It's not likely that the world will fall for 'humanitarian intervention' scams as frequently now that the U.S. clearly abused such policies in Libya, and has failed in Syria. Support for U.S. interventionism has divided the world into client states in contrast to those who value independence. Phil Taylor and Phil Conlon also discuss the importance of avoiding fearmongering and racism with regard to 'reporting' on China. Every story in the New York Times about China concerns alleged 'failures' in China's containment of the Coronavirus, despite China's massive efforts to prevent its spread. What China needs is solidarity. The hosts also bring up the problems with Bernie Sanders' foreign policy. Although Sanders is bringing an important dialog about social programs in the U.S., he has also shown a willingness to continue the policies of the empire.
