This week on the Global Research News Hour, following the 22nd anniversary of the launching of Operation Enduring Freedom and the longest war ever fought by the United States, we set our sights on some of the most dynamic elements of the war that are under-exposed in mainstream press. In our first half hour, we have a conversation with Journalist Max Parry about a two year old article he wrote linking the rise of deaths due to opioid addiciton with the rise of opium production in Afghanistan and about how there is a trend between illegal drugs and imperial US conquest. Then in our second half hour, we speak with Jeremy Kuzmarov, managing editor of Covert Action Magazine about how a US Ambassador to Afghanistan became the “Franz Ferdinand” of the 40 year long war in Afghanistan.

Anniversary of US/NATO invasion of Afghanistan. “Graveyard of Empires.” Birthplace of Opium Tragedy

This week on the Global Research News Hour, following the victory of a party in Taiwan favouring Independence from China, and following years worth of Sinophobia cemented by the west after the COVID-19 fiasco, we are taking a look at the positive and not so positive factors that have made the world’s most populous country what it is today. In our first half hour, we are joined by author Patrick wood of Technocracy.news. HE explains how the Trilateral commission actually turned the country into a technocracy which is spreading around the world, including America itself and why this is alarming to him. Then in the second half hour, we are joined once again by journalist and independent writer Pepe Escobar who does not see China launching an attack on Taiwan following the election of the Democratic Progressive Party, and instead explains how China is on a roll while the US continues to wither away.
