Lucy Grealy - What is Ugly

The Autobiography of a Face Lucy Grealy, a victim of Ewing’s Sarcoma, beginning when was nine years old suffered from a cancer of the jaw that is 90% fatal in the first few years. In Lucy’s case, it was not fatal. Rather it brought about many intense and emotional experiences that most of us could not imagine. She had a large part of her lower jaw removed when she was about nine and half and for two and a half years had weekly chemotherapy treatments. Throughout her teenage years, she had multiple surgeries to reshape her jaw. Her book, “Autobiography of a Face,” reveals her experiences, her mistaken conflation of beauty and love, and what she learned about emotions, both her own and other people’s. Lucy Grealy recommends “100 Years of Solitude,” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Originally Broadcast: December 5, 1994

Incident in Gulf of Oman is a US Provocation

While the PM of Japan was opening talks with Iran's leaders, two ships headed to Japan from the Strait of Hormuz were damaged in an attack. Immediately the US points at Iran, but it is an old trick of the Americans. Most countries appear to suspect the accusers. Trump, Pompeo, and Bolton all have a long record of threatening Iran.

The Israeli Lobby and the First Generation of the Palestine Conflict

We spend a good deal of time on This Week In Palestine exploring the power of the Israeli lobby because of the significant role it plays in the manipulation of Congress, the president, the media, and therefore the American people. Walter Hixson, Professor of History at Akron University, has written a new book, "Israel’s Armor: The Israeli Lobby and the First Generation of the Palestine conflict," that traces the roots of the Israeli lobby all the way back to the birth of the Zionist movement. In today's presentation, Professor Hixson explains and discusses the book's thesis. Before that, we quote an article by Ramzy Baroud that takes on the pending so-called "deal of the century" authored by Jared Kushner, which is supposedly soon to be released. It appears to be dead on arrival. By now, it is perfectly clear that the "deal of the century" is not a peace plan, nor was it ever intended to be, despite what its chief architect and White House adviser Jared Kushner has been claiming. It is yet another American imperial undertaking driven by the misguided notion that it is in the best interest of the American people that Israel remains the regional hegemon and is enabled to swallow the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories.

On the last day it passed unanimously.

Report Back: On the Ground During "Coup" Venezuela

Member of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Sean Orr speaks of their delegation to Venezuela to investigate conditions on the ground and speak with various officials, community leaders and people about the conditions imposed by the U.S. Government's hostilities, and how they are countering them; the U.S. press blames the crisis on "failed" Socialism and President Maduro while the U.S. finds it necessary to ramp up its blockade, economic interference and attacks due to popular support for the Venezuelan Constitution by the majority of its citizens. Timed to coincide with May Day celebrations Sean found himself in the mist of a coup attempt, along with his companions as they were guests of a government supporter, a university professor, who lived in an opposition neighborhood close to the military base where an attempt was made to seize tanks and other weapons. He recounts what followed when the coup was announced from the street, on radio and TV, their escape toward the city center, what they saw and contrary to what CNN was reporting, what wasn't. When finally they arrived at the Presidential Palace they witnessed the crowds assembling in defense of their Bolivarian Revolution; he reports that his group, while not the only foreigners there, were the only Americans. He mentions that the US Government has embargoed the shipment of insulin to Venezuela and China's efforts to provide an alternative supply.

West Clings to Tiananmen Myth

Phil Taylor continues his discussion of our media's 'ritual' coverage of Tiananmen, including Daniel Scott's recent embarrassing opinion piece in The Star. Also, on Netflix is a new docu-drama about the so-called "Central Park Five" in New York. It's a gripping story, but there were some things that were left out from the NYT's review. The New York Times left out the fact that leading liberal feminists organized demonstrations calling on police to 'do something' about black youth. The woman who later wrote "Precious" was put at the front of the crowd.

Provocations in the Gulf of Oman: Will John Bolton Get His War on Iran?

On this week's Global Research News Hour, on the heels of the June 13th attacks on two tankers in the Gulf of Oman, we examine some of the tensions that have been rising between the US and Iran in recent weeks, and attempt to determine if they represent a prelude for war. In the first half hour, Professor Michel Chossudovsky explains his assessment that a conventional war on Iran is highly unlikely given shifting strategic alliances in the region. Later, Yves Engler outlines reasons behind the Canadian government's enmity toward Tehran. Finally, geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar comments on breaking developments including his contention that Trump, at odds with his own National Security Advisor, wants desperately to open talks with the Iranian government,
