William Hartung on Obama's Record Foreign Arms Sales

Blankfort speaks with Hartung about his article last year on Obama being the all-time White House foreign arms salesman and how little concern the public and Congress has shown about it; Hartung points out the death, destruction and human rights violations caused by Saudi Arabia which has used its own record purchases of weapons under Obama in bombing Yemen with no concern for civilian casualties and for intervention in Bahrain to suppress democratic protests; Blankfort notes that Hillary Clinton was his Sec. Of State and helped to facilitate sales to the Saudis and other foreign donors to the Clintons' Foundation. Hartung suggests that Clinton's continuance of Obama's policies will only be limited by the ability to use the weapons by countries that have already bought them. He notes that Al Qaeda and ISIS have benefited from US weapons that have been sent to Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere and then captured by jihadi groups or sold to them by US allies. He describes how the US has involved a number of countries in paying for the over budget and controversial F-35 next generation jet whose final costs are estimated at $1.4 trillion. He also expresses concern that Obama administration transferred sales of dangerous small arms from the State Dept. to the Commerce Dept. where what the buyers do with the weapons is trumped by the desire to sell them about which human rights groups will have less knowledge and access to it. He expresses concern over the likely proliferation of weaponized drones to states that are likely to use them on their own populations or sell them to other countries. And more.

Jeff Blankfort: NewsOp: Black Lives Mvt, v, Israel, suit filed v. Israel aid

Blankfort begins with Obama's record foreign arms sales; notes Black Lives Matter movement's taking on Israel and support for Palestinian struggle has upset Jewish establishment; speaks of ML King's public support of Israel but that non-public questioning of it led to his canceling trip to Jerusalem; cites author of BLM platform re charging Israel with genocide and stopping US aid, recalls similar conflict after 1967 war when Jewish establishment and some Jews in antiwar movement broke with Black militants who expressed solidarity with Palestinians; noted irony of two Cong. Black Caucus members, Barbara Lee and Elijah Cummings doing Hillary Clinton's bidding in blocking Democratic platform committee from condemning Israeli occupation, Israel's settlements and Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement; reports that Raytheon will build SkyHunter, a US version of Israel's Iron Dome to protect US troops (against Russia?); suggests Clinton will renew Cold War, maybe worse; notes Green Party's Jill Stein has called to stop aid to Israel and concludes with report on suit filed by Irmep to block new aid appropriation to Israel on basis of its violations of amendments to US nuclear non-proliferation laws while inviting public to join telephone conference call Thursday on the subject at irmep.org,

interviews Dr Robert Jensen

Robert Jensen, professor in the School of Journalism at The University of Texas at Austin College of Communication, is the author of Arguing for Our Lives: A User s Guide to Constructive Dialog, (City Lights Publishers, March 2013). The book explores issues with public discourse, trust in the leadership of elected officials and what Jensen calls an Age of Anxiety. It also offers strategies for addressing these crises. We live in a time when public discourse is more skewed than ever by the propaganda that big money can buy, with trust in the leadership of elected officials at an all-time low. The news has degenerated into sensationalist sound bites, and the idea of debate has become a polarized shouting match that precludes any meaningful discussion. It s also a time of anxiety, as we re faced with economic and ecological crises on a global scale, with stakes that seem higher than ever before. In times like these, it s essential that we be able to think and communicate clearly. Sylvia speaks to Dr Jensen about traditional struggles, internal domination and a way forward.

The Project for the New American Century (ONE of TWO)

The enduring power of the Neo-conservative movement in the US The program opens with the peace poem: "Speak Out" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, features General John Allen's endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president with Bernie Sanders supporters shouting "no more war"; and ends with a reading by SF Mime Troupe founder R.G. Davis from the bone chilling neo-con plan for US global military dominance. The original 2003 program by TUC Radio was an appeal for peace and a disclosure of a well guarded document "Rebuilding America's Defenses, Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New American Century". The document was commissioned by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and others in the year 2000, before any of them were in government. Named in the text are the countries to be invaded: Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and maybe also Iran and North Korea. The document also stated that the American people would never agree to such a military global dominance project unless there was an event that galvanized public opinion - such as a new Pearl Harbor. The think tank, the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), that produced this blueprint was founded in 1997 by William Kristol and Robert Kagan, to this day prominent leaders in the Neo-Conservative movement. The document has become important today because Robert Kagan was appointed as an adviser by Hillary Clinton when she became Secretary of State. Clinton also hired Kagan's wife, Victoria Nuland, as her spokesperson. Nuland had previously served as a top aide to Vice President Cheney. Victoria Nuland, by her own admission, was personally involved in the recent regime change in Ukraine. In February 2016, Kagan gave Clinton his formal endorsement for President. Both are expected to take on important roles in a Hillary Clinton administration.

Kate Zerrenner on the Rio Olympics

If you’ve been tuning into the Olympics in Rio this week, you’ve probably watched your fair share of inspirational profiles of athletes. You may also have been following some of the stories emerging out of Brazil about the corruption, poor environmental stewardship, and social justice transgressions surrounding the Olympics. It’s enough to make the most ardent sports fan a little ambivalent. In Rio, athletes will be swimming or sailing in water that is literally crappy — some athletes may be taking home gold, silver, bronze, or just hepatitis. It may turn out that the more emotional story is not an athlete profile, but one of environmental malfeasance and social injustice — it tugs at the heartstrings, alright, but not in the way that NBC had hoped. This week on Sea Change Radio, we take a deep dive into some of the issues surrounding the thirty-first Olympiad as we are joined by Kate Zerrenner of the Environmental Defense Fund.

Why Does Israel Get Away with Its outrageous illegal Behavior?

Jeff Halper's latest book is "War Against the People: Israel, the Palestinians and Global Pacification." In this wide-ranging interview, Halper asks, rhetorically, why Israel continues to get away with its outrageous and illegal behavior. His answer: a universe of shared interests and interdependency among the U.S. and Israeli weapons makers, police militarists, and "security" forces. Essentially, they have an incestuous relationship. You, I, and the Palestinians don't matter. Israel has learned about war against people (as opposed to wars against nations). It develops the art, develops the weapons, and tries them out. It's a high-tech leader, producing more and more vicious weapons, surveillance, and repression technology, thoroughly tested - on Palestinians. These are prized by repressive governments everywhere, especially our own. U.S. police recruits go to Israel for training. They come back equipped with assault weapons. That's what accommodates the rampant militarization of U.S. police. The real bosses of the world love and nurture Israel, and Israel loves and helps them. As Halper explains, that's why they can exploit and murder Palestinians without challenge. This interview was originally aired last spring, but deserves more attention. Here it is again, lightly edited.
