In honor of the recently late musician and anarchist Pete Ventantonio aka Jack Terricloth we discuss his band The World/Inferno Friendship Society.

Gittlitz from The Antifada and later, Ted Leo of punk legend, to discuss their respective eulogies of Pete/Jack, anarchism, Temporary Autonomous Zones, comedy and how it all comes back to punk.

After The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal reported on newly leaked documents exposing a massive UK government propaganda campaign against Russia, Twitter added an unprecedented warning label that the material "may have been obtained through hacking." Although Twitter may have intended to restrict the article, the warning had the opposite effect: it quickly went viral. 

Max Blumenthal and Aaron Maté discuss the suppression effort and the damning UK government leaks at the heart of it. After years of fear-mongering about Russian interference in Western democracies, these UK government files expose a sprawling propaganda effort that explicitly aims to "weaken" Russia. The documents reveal that this propaganda campaign has also enlisted major media outlets Reuters and the BBC, as well as the NATO member state-funded website Bellingcat. 

Guest: Max Blumenthal, editor of The Grayzone and author of "The Management of Savagery."

As leaks expose UK op to 'weaken' Russia, suppression of Grayzone reporting backfires
