On this episode we are joined by Brian Willson, a Vietnam veteran, writer, lawyer and a peace activist.
On September 1, 1987, Brian lost his legs while participating in a peaceful act of civil disobedience at a railroad track at the Concord Naval Weapons Station to block the shipment of weapons to the terrorist Contra fighters in Nicaragua, and has continued his fight against U.S. empire.
LISTEN to the podcast with Brian Willson talking to Brian Becker:
Jon Schwarz: “...things we’ve done that if, say, Norway had done them to us, would have us out in the streets shouting “Death to Norway!” Unfortunately, not only have the U.S. and our allies done horrendous things to Iran, we’re not even polite enough to remember it....”

IMAGINE what can be done when a government uses its resources to
benefit its own people, instead of just enriching the privileged ruling class
elite, and waging murderous imperialist wars against the planet!
"Editor's Note: As of Feb. 25, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced China's "complete victory" in the country's fight against absolute poverty. It is another of China's miraculous feats that will go down in history! Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, China fought a massive people's war against poverty during the past eight years. What you may ask were the keys for decoding China's success in poverty alleviation? Let's find out the answer!..."

“... In Roman politics, citizens lost control of politicians after they elected them. It’s one of the system’s greatest weaknesses and it is no wonder that, like our Roman forebears, we regard government as our biggest problem[2]: we cannot compel them to keep their promises...”

Bill Van Auken: “...The attack has made clear that agreement on escalating military aggression to offset the decline of US imperialist global hegemony will serve as the foundation for the Biden administration’s pursuit of “bipartisan unity” with the fascistic elements within the Republican Party who sought to overturn his election.
There is also a powerful domestic political motive for the escalation of US militarism. This is the need to divert outward the immense and unsustainable social contradictions of American capitalism...”

A US military strike on facilities belonging to resistance fighters on the Syrian-Iraqi border, the first authorized by President Joe Biden since taking office, has sparked strong condemnation and outrage.
Russia
termed the airstrike that came in the wee hours of Friday morning as “illegal”
and “extremely dangerous”, which it said could “lead to escalation of
situation” and “outbreak of a major conflict”.

Caitlin Johnstone: “...Rather than doing anything remotely resembling journalism, the western mass media have opted instead to uncritically repeat what they've been told about the airstrike by US officials, which is the same as just publishing Pentagon press releases...
It's
illegitimate for the US to claim to be acting defensively in nations it
invaded. It's illegitimate for the US to act like Iranian-backed fighters
aren't allowed to be in Syria, where they are fighting alongside the Syrian
government against ISIS and other extremist militias with the permission of
Damascus. It is illegitimate for the US to claim the fighters attacking US
personnel in Iraq are controlled by Iran when Iraqis have every reason to want
the US out of their country themselves...”

"Between 1990 and 2016, thousands of terrorist attacks shook the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwestern China, killing large numbers of innocent people and hundreds of police officers.
Horrific stabbings and bombings rocked the land once known as a commercial hub on China's ancient Silk Road. The damage to local communities was incalculable while stability in the region quickly deteriorated. Authorities have been trying hard to restore peace to this land.

Jeremy Kuzmarov: "Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
And even a liar like Donald Trump can sometimes tell the truth. During the 2020
election campaign, Trump accused Biden of corruption with regard to secret
deals involving the Ukraine and China, in which the Vice President venally
leveraged the power of his office and title to enrich himself and his son in
clear violation of the law. In that charge, Trump was absolutely right. But he
did not know the half of it…”

“...Western governments have levied false allegations of genocide and slavery in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. A closer look makes clear that the politicization of China’s anti-terrorism policies in Xinjiang is another front of the U.S.-led hybrid war on China.
This resource compilation provides a starting point for critical inquiry into the historical context and international response to China’s policies in Xinjiang, providing a counter-perspective to misinformation that abounds in mainstream coverage of the autonomous region...”
