Pursuance Project : Interview w/ Barrett Brown

Matt, Will and Felix take a belated 4th of July look at why, in Axios' opinion, we should be proud to be Americans. We then examine Alan Dershowitz' floundering social life and discuss why he ACTUALLY should be ostracized from society. Finally, we turn from America's old decadent and depraved ruling class to its up and coming ruling class, who are decadent and depraved in confounding new ways.

Episode 226 - Islands in the Stream (7/9/18)

At $716 billion, the U.S. military budget is larger than the defense spending of the next ten nations, combined, yet is mostly wasted, said William Hartung, author of Prophets of War: Lockheed Martin and the Making of the Military-Industrial Complex. “Almost half of the money to the Pentagon goes straight out the door to major corporations…much of it to build things we don’t need, like a new generation of nuclear weapons, or a new fighter plane that many experts say will never be ready for combat,” said Hartung.

Military Spending = Cash for Corporations

Historian Anna-Lisa cox traces the westward journey of America's Black pioneers - as a first Great Migration of African American farming settlements spread across the Midwest, free Black families experienced new levels of self-determination and prosperity in frontier communities, as well as a White backlash against their advancements.

China may be on the way to replacing the US as the world's dominant economic power, but with Russia also growing its reach, could the future be more dangerous still? Do we face an uncontainable multipolar world with many nations vying for power? Or should we applaud a break from US global dominance and look forward to a more equal future? Mary Ann Sieghart asks Oxford historian Rana Mitter, HSBC chief economist Stephen King and politician George Galloway to envisage the world's future.

Journalist Eileen Truax explores the political battleground of immigration in the Trump era - from the harsh realities of US immigration, asylum and detention procedures, to the made-in-the-USA interventions of capital and military violence that drive people from their homes in the first place.

We've been building a wall against immigrants for decades.

E366 | How did a poem by Palestinian poet, Samih al-Qasim, come to be known and published under George Jackson's name, in English translation? George Jackson, a Black revolutionary writer, was incarcerated in California for more than a decade, until he was killed in 1971 by prison guards. Among the ninety-nine books Jackson had in his cell at the time of his death, one was "Enemy of the Sun," a collection of Palestinian resistance poetry. For four decades, the title poem of the collection has circulated in Black Panther newspapers and other venues under George Jackson's name. In this episode, Greg Thomas discusses his recovery of this shared history, and the traveling exhibition that emerged from his research.

George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine | Greg Thomas

For over two years, the U.S. government has been investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election - interference broadly considered to be in favor of candidate Donald Trump. As a result, a bizarre flip has occurred with the Right and Left: Polls show liberals now trust the FBI and CIA, while many right-wingers – though by no means all – suddenly act concerned about the so-called “deep state.” Liberals have been turned into even more extreme hawks, not just on the issue of Russia, but anything that shores up support for American intelligence agencies broadly seen, fair or not, as a check on the unhinged Trump administration. 

Given that so much of RussiaGate coverage is about the alleged manipulation of Black activists, anti-fracking protesters, the Green Party – and even Bernie Sanders supporters - to attack Hillary Clinton and her campaign, the consequence has been the media, time and again, framing Leftist dissent as de facto Russian propaganda. 

Today we ask: what is the collateral damage of RussiaGate on left-wing activists and media? Who does Red Scare 2.0 benefit, and how can we be honest about "foreign influence" without losing our minds over it? 

In Part I of this two-part episode, we are joined by Jacobin's Branko Marcetic.

In a Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen delivers a breakthrough scientific discovery - that time and space might be related to each other, and to driveways and combination locks and paintbrushes and stoners and bank vaults and imaginations and technology and death and apologies and Moment of Truth. Breathtaking.

UNLOCKED episode 225 - The Poster's Crusade (7/6/18)

Writer Roy Scranton looks at the signs of this doomed civilization - a collapsing political system, massive environmental degradation and a future of inevtiable, irreversible climate change - and explains why the thrilling and terrifying task required of us is to let go of this world and create a new one, together, while there's still time.

Today we ask: how does the fever pitch of Russia coverage, in the aggregate, harm Black activists and movements? What are the historical antecedents for these red-baiting attacks? And how can Left solidarity work to dull the effects of these efforts to marginalize and delegitimize voices for justice?

In Part II of this two-part RussiaGate episode, we are joined by Anoa Changa, host of The Way with Anoa podcast.
