Economist Michael Hudson on decline of dollar, sanctions war, imperialism, financial parasitism

Guy Mettan discusses the deep thousand year history of Russophobia which informs the current Ukraine crisis. Europe had divided in two parts along religious lines which can still be seen in Ukraine today. He traces Russophobia from medieval Germany to France to Britain and back again to Germany and today the U.S. and EU. Brzezinski outlined the importance of conquering Ukraine because it's the pivotal power of Europe. Ukraine is the first battle of the Third World War. It won't be a total war, it will be a global unlimited war, unlimited in space and time where everybody will be affected. He agrees that there is a neo-totalitarian trend in the West and that democracy is a false flag. He's pessimistic regarding the future development of our world as the U.S. and EU develop into a totalitarian new empire. But he's optimistic that the light of the truth can't be extinguished.

Multipolarista host Benjamin Norton interviewed US Congress candidate Geoff Young, who is running in Kentucky's 6th district on an anti-war platform calling for abolishing the CIA.

We discussed Young's 12-point program, which also seeks to "End the failed 'War on Drugs,'" prevent nuclear war, establish a Medicare-for-All system of universal healthcare, dismantle the US military's Africa Command (AFRICOM), increase taxes on billionaires and millionaires, and "Get Big Money out of politics."

Past guests have included diplomats, government officials, whistleblowers, soldiers, spies, economists, academics, scientists, wealthy investors, dissidents, journalists, and musicians.

The broadcast seeks to gain insight from guests who come from the left, right, and beyond. It should go without saying that the host does not always agree with beliefs espoused by podcast invitees, but maintains an open mind, and believes it important to respectfully listen to a multitude of voices and let listeners come to their own conclusions.
