We discuss the one thing everyone can seemingly agree on: the US is in a new wave, and no one knows quite how big it really is. Then we revisit the CDC's "community level" metrics, and discuss new reports that the White House is preparing to have to ration vaccines.

An Invisible Wave (05/19/22)

On Sunday, the World Cup kicks off in Qatar. How did a tiny dictatorship with a dismal human rights record, deadly summer temperatures and barely any football infrastructure end up hosting the world's biggest tournament? And what's a leftwing fan going to do about it?

Keir Milburn (Leeds United) and Tom Williams (Southampton) tackle the controversy in Pro Revolution Soccer – a five-part podcast series launching on 18 November. Tune in every Friday for expert guests and political punditry you won't find anywhere else. 

Head to novara.media/football for more.
Music by Matt Huxley. Produced by Chal Ravens.

Pro Revolution Soccer: Coming 18 November

On today's episode Brian Becker and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss how FTX, which was among the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, has collapsed in one of the most spectacular corporate bankruptcies ever. In other tech-related industries too, mass layoffs continue to gather pace. The boom-bust cycle of capitalism is once again on full display.

Professor Richard Wolff is an author & co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work. You can find his work at rdwolff.com.

Imperialism, neoliberalism's failure and the new cold war, with Radhika Desai

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, with a story of the destruction of major natural gas pipelines being orchestrated by Washington, we dig deep into this exclusive report by none other than the journalist himself, Seymour Hersh. With an interview taking up the lion’s share of the hour, he discusses the attack, the lack of interest by players at the UN for an independent and non-partisan investigation, and also the fading of the popularity of his work among mainstream papers and reporters.  As well, he mentions his thoughts about the My Lai Massacre that won him a Pulitzer nearly 55 years after it happened. In the final phase of our show we will also hear from a friend and colleague of his, Former CIA  analyst Ray McGovern, about how he makes sense of Russia’s behavior over the past year and what is likely to happen in the future.

Inside Russia: Economists describe impact of Western sanctions and Ukraine war

It’s a fan cam episode for our favorite tech columnist, Brian Merchant, who had two pieces come out recently that are back-to-back bangers. First is about why all the people making and selling AI keep talking about being afraid of their own creations. It’s Frankenstein meets sorcerer's apprentice but as a marketing strategy for their own power (and their unique ability to control that power). Second is about what all these people should actually be afraid of. As history shows us, there is more than one way to crash a computer.

245. Shook Ones (Tech Style)

Many people would agree that corporations have undue influence over our democracies. But exactly how this influence is exerted is tricky to work out - and that is by design. Behind innocuous-sounding acronyms and worthy-sounding trade agreements are the real cogs that allow the global corporate machine to corrupt societies. Our guest this week Matt Kennard has spent the last two years investigating these cogs.

In his new book, ‘Silent Coup’, he and co-author Claire Provost relay shocking examples of how corporations exert, expand and consolidate control over the lives of practically everyone in the world.

Downstream: How Corporations Control the Government w/ Matt Kennard

As world leaders from the Global South convene in South Africa for the BRICS Summit this week, the West is watching closely. 23 countries have applied to join Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa in the grouping, which is focused on trade and development in their regions — typically dominated by colonizing powers in Europe and the United States. Where is BRICS headed and what unifies the grouping?

Brian Becker is joined by Mikaela Nhondo Erskog, member of secretariat of Pan Africanism Today, researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, member of No Cold War, and host of the podcast The Crane: An Africa-China podcast coming from the DongSheng News collective.

BRICS Summit: China, Africa, Russia and the 23 New Applicants

In this Canadian Patriot Podcast, Matt talks with John Helmer about the many unreconstructed Nazis that were given sanctuary as part of NATO's international secret armies post WWII with a special focus on Yaroslav Hunka (feted by Parliament on Sept. 22) and Chrystia Freeland's beloved grandfather Michael Chomiak.

How are the narrative controllers currently attempting to reduce this scandal to a topic revolving around events locked in a cage 80 years in the past devoid of any connection to current events? How do both anti-Russian secular jews like Kolomoisky and Zelensky resolve their Jewishness with their devoted support for modern nazis working with the Ukrainian military and Civil Service... such as the Azov and Aidar Battalions? What role does Irwin Cotler play within this game or Humka's son Martin whose vast wealth acrued through his role as CFO of Redpath Mining Holdings? What will Poland do with this scandal and what secrets might their archives or the still-classified Deschenes commission report on Nazism in Canada hold today?
