Using Clinton's Helms-Burton Act, Trump Targets Cuban Economy
May 15, 2019, 5:09 p.m.
After the brief Obama "thaw" with Cuba, the US has decided to resume the old practice of economic siege and provocation. This includes invoking Title III of the illegal Helms-Burton Act to threaten any 3rd party, such as Canada, that does business with the revolutionary country that refuses to bend the knee to the Monroe Doctrine.

Ali Abunimah on the film the Israeli Lobby did not want you to see
May 15, 2019, 8:53 a.m.
The news service Al Jazeera has produced a 4-part film exposing the inner-workings of the Israeli Lobby. Israel found it so damning that it leaned heavily on Qatar, where Al Jazeera is headquartered, to force the filmâs producers to not release the filmâ¦and they have not. This act of censorship has caused an enormous controversy. Somehow the Electronic Intifada obtained the film, "The Lobby - USA," and made it available for viewing on its website. You can view it there at electronicintifada.net/content/watch-film-israel-lobby-didnt-want-you-see/25876, and you should. It really is a âmust seeâ film. If that post gets "disappeared," then google the phrase âwatch the film the Israeli lobby did not want you to see.â You will get numerous other links to viewing that film.
Today we feature the Electronic Intifadaâs founder and director, Ali Abunimah, speaking about this film, its content, and its importance, before an audience at the Washington Report on the Middle East in Washington, DC.
Before we go, we want you to know about another important film: "Imprisoning a Generation." It's a documentary film following the stories of four young Palestinians who have been detained and imprisoned under the Israeli military and political systems. Their perspectives, along with the voices of their families, combine to form a lens into the entangled structure of oppression that expand well beyond Israel's prison walls.

How well do we know the history of our nation? As for our Founders, what is fact? What is myth? While we have been told we are free, we face an increasing onslaught of laws, edicts, and proclamations governing our lives as American citizens. We have been told that âwe need to get our Constitution back.â Do we truly need to do that?
We are, during every election cycle, given a âchoice.â But is it a real choice? Or a Hobsonâs choice? Were our Founders the godlike, towering figures we were taught? Were they above reproach? Or were they human beings, subject to the same avarice, temptations and lust we all are?
What were their motivations in starting this country? Were they benign in nature, inspired to offer their fellow countrymen âlife, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?â Or were there other instincts at play?
Was the Constitution truly designed to be the bulwark of freedom? Why were the Articles of Confederation jettisoned? Who were the Anti-Federalists? Why did they get such short shrift by history? What was the worth of the Founders? Were they Everymen? Or rich elites?
The answers, when explored from an âunofficialâ vantage point, may surprise you.
Listen along as Eric the Blacksmith discusses American history with Al Aric and Theo. Current events are interspersed. Explore the nooks and crannies of suppressed information as the book âHologram of Libertyâ by Kenneth Royce is reviewed and its bibliography examined.
Listen to the Children of Gaza, Amira Hass
May 14, 2019, 9:17 p.m.
When the Israeli Journalist and columnist for Haaretz gave this talk in Chicago on May 5, 2019, the most recent bombing of the Gaza Strip had entered its third day. Israeli warplanes and artillery had struck more than 100 sites across Gaza, killing 23 people. At the same time home-made rockets from Gaza struck southern Israel and killed 4 Israelis.
Amira Hass is the only Jewish Israeli correspondent on Palestinian affairs who is living on the West Bank among the people she reports on. She was born in 1956 in Israel to Holocaust survivors.
She is the author of: Reporting from Ramallah â An Israeli Journalist in an Occupied Land and Drinking the Sea at Gaza.
Amira Hass spoke at the Broadway United Methodist Church in Chicago on 5/5/2019. You heard excerpts from a 54 minute recoding produced by Dale Lehman of WZRD Radio and posted on line at Radio4All.
Her talk was sponsored by the Chicago Gay Liberation Network, the Committee for a Just Peace in Israel and Palestine and the American Friends Service Committee.
The GM Shutdown Story is Worse Than You Think
May 14, 2019, 9:10 p.m.
In December 2020, GM Oshawa will close. 5,000 UNIFOR members will lose their jobs. Oddly, this sad labor story has been badly reported. Recently, there was an announcement by the company and union saying a stamping plant would provide, perhaps, 300 jobs. This was taken as a "best we can do" story. The "something" that is better than "nothing."
The reports said that GM was laying off 2,600 employees. That left out another 2,500 UNIFOR members who help produce GM vehicles, but are employed by other companies. They earn less, have smaller pensions, and no shot at the "300" jobs. A fine mess, as they say in comedies.
May 14, 2019, 8:39 p.m.
This week we spend the entire hour speaking with Max Felker-Kantor, the author of an important new book, Policing Los Angeles: Race, Resistance, and the Rise of the LAPD. This book tells the story of the Los Angeles Police Department, from the Watts Rebellion of 1965, to the 1992 Spring Rebellion.
Climate Pioneers: Warren Washington + Kelly Gallagher
May 14, 2019, 4:18 p.m.
Since 1973, the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement has been bestowed upon people who have made a significant impact in the fight for a sustainable planet.

After our conversation with Dr. Washington, we chat with this yearâs Tyler Prize panel moderator Kelly Sims-Gallagher, a professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, about the evolving intersection of global affairs and climate science.

May 13, 2019, 4:31 p.m.
Bilderberg meeting is a big mystery this year- we are still not sure where it will be so that means protesters and press will be less likely to be able to cover it
Although we can't be certain, this suggests they may be planning something big this year- like a major war -
Tony also goes in to the potential religious conflict being cooked up this year in the Middle East between Zionist Israel - which follows a twisted version of Judaism - with the Islamic Revolutionary State of Iran.
