Cracking Open Kleptocrats and Plutocracts Piggy Banks: The Panama Papers
with
James Henry, who has written extensively about global banking, debt crises, tax havens and economic development. Henry is former chief economist at the international consultancy firm McKinsey & Co. and is now a senior fellow at the Columbia University Center for Sustainable International Investment and senior adviser with the Tax Justice Network, which has estimated in their study, âThe Price of Offshore Revisited,â that total wealth in tax havens was between $21 trillion and $32 trillion. James Henry's books include The Blood Bankers: Tales from the Global Underground Economy, and the forthcoming The Pirate Bankers.
Attorney, James Henry takes us through one of the biggest leaks in journalistic history, 11.5 million documents to reveal the secretive offshore companies used to hide wealth, evade taxes and commit fraud by the world's dictators, business tycoons and criminals. This massive leak of documents has blown open a window on the vast, murky world of shell companies, providing an extraordinary look at how the wealthy and powerful conceal their money. The data breach occurred at a little-known but powerful Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonseca, which has an office in Las Vegas, a representative in Miami and a presence in more than 35 other places around the world. The firm is one of the worldâs top five creators of shell companies, which can have legitimate business uses, but can also be used to dodge taxes and launder money.

Another episode which illuminates the murky doings of the deep state in the US; we hear the soundtrack from a 1995 film which gives an insider's eye view of "The Enterprise". Terry Reed was a CIA spook whose distaste for drug trafficking lead to him attempt to blow the whistle on what the corporate media - misleadingly - referred to as "Iran-Contra". After outlining the drugs for weapons operation that was run out of Mena, Arkansas - including how the money was laundered through the Arkansas bond market with the help of the Clintons' entourage - the show centers on how the Reeds took flight from a rogue US Justice system which had labeled them as "armed and dangerous" drug traffickers.

Uncovering the mystery of "Canada Park"
April 7, 2016, 12:42 p.m.
Phil talks to Tyler Levitan, Campaign Co-ordinator for Independent Jewish Voices (Canada), about the current cross-Canada tour of Heidar Abu Ghosh. Levitan explains the purpose of the tour is to uncover the mystery of âCanada Parkâ, a nature reserve in the Occupied West Bank of Palestine, built over the ruins of three Palestinian villages, demolished after the June 1967 war. Ghosh, who was expelled by the Israeli army from his village of Imwas, along with about 10000 inhabitants of the three villages, was 14 years old at the time. He has spent the rest of the life trying to resurrect the village from under Canada Park. He is the first Palestinian from Imwas ever to come to Canada on a speaking tour.

Heather Doyle & Stopping Extraction & Exports Destruction (SEED)
April 7, 2016, 8:03 a.m.
This week, William interviewed Heather Doyle, an activist involved with S.E.E.D. coalition, a mid-Atlantic-bsed activist grouping whose name stands for Stopping Extraction & Export Destruction. Heather talks about her recent harassment and assault at the hands of the Culver County Sheriff's dept, that dept's collusion and payoff by the Dominion corporation and more. Dominion is behind the liquified natural gas containment storage & export facility being protested by S.E.E.D. activists, which they claim endangers all of the surrounding, rural residents in case of emergency. The protests have also focussed on the role of Culver County's facility and Dominion in the extraction from Marcellus shale gas and other nasty petroleum extraction projects and the dangers of it's shipping via pipelines and trains across Turtle Island. More on S.E.E.D. can be found at https://seedcoalition.wordpress.com/

Report Back on Venezuela Elections and What Lies Ahead
April 6, 2016, 11:01 a.m.
Corruption, hording of consumer goods and food by distributors - reported as shortages here but experienced as long lines and empty shelves there - plague poor and low income communities across Venezuela. Two million socialist party voters didn't bother to vote; why? And in the aftermath of the massive defeat for the PSUV what direction will Venezuela take? The US financed opposition has committed violence and decapitation in the streets in the past and now has its hands in control of the national legislature.
Can they reverse the socialist revolution in Venezuela?
Can they topple Maduro by instigating a coup?
These questions are addresed in the Q&A.
Stan Smith, Chicago ALBA Solidarity Committee activist , reports on his observations during the December 6th , 2015 elections in Venezuela that gave the "opposition" a stunning victory and control of the National Assembly; or was it?
Stan Smith traveled beyond Caracas following the election and recounts conversations with people, exasperated by food shortages, corruption and inflation that the Maduro government had been ineffective in checking. Though there is no widespread hunger or the deep poverty, that existed in the former neoliberal "democracy" favored by US corporations and the wealthy of Venezuela, million of voters failed to participate or intentionally spoiled their ballot.
Stan fills in the details absent from US corporate reporting which supported the failed April 12, 2002 coup detat against President Chavez and is complicit in the continuing US campaign to reverse the gains of Socialism
Jesús RodrÃguez-Espinoza, Cónsul General of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Chicago contributes to some of the Q & A .
