Ariadne (2021) [use headphones!]

As the world enters a new phase of major power conflict, it is crucial  to understand the character of the Russian government and the role it  plays on the world stage. Is Russia an imperialist power, equivalent to  countries like the United States, France or the UK? How has the  imperialist world system been set up – and is Russia in the club, or  out?

Ukraine War: Russia, the United States, and the Nature of Imperialism

On today's In the News roundtable, Brian Becker, Esther Iverem, Nicole Roussell and Walter Smolarek discuss how powerful figures in the West are pushing for even graver acts of reckless escalation in Ukraine, and how big oil is cashing in on the war with plans for massive drilling expansion with the help of the Biden administration. The panel also discusses the latest right wing attacks on so-called “Critical Race Theory”, how the super rich pay little to nothing in taxes, the latest developments in Palestine, and more.

Politicians Push for an Even Wider War in Ukraine

On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss how the Federal Reserve raised interest rates at the highest rate in over 20 years, signaling a major shift in policy as it attempts to tackle the spiraling inflation crisis. But will this maneuver work? Or is it likely to instead spark a new recession?

How to Tackle the Inflation Crisis in the Interests of the Working Class

As the U.S./NATO proxy war in Ukraine against Russia rages, the imperialist establishment is increasingly united behind a strategy of escalation. Brian and Eugene Puryear trace the development of this increasingly hostile approach over the years and decades; and review the most important recent military, economic and political developments in the conflict.

WITCHXWHISPER [LoopDiggers Sunday Roulette N° 96]

On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss how the corporate-owned media has been consumed with wall-to-wall coverage of the death of the Queen, fawning over the British monarchy. But the lifestyle that’s being celebrated is one based on plunder and empire. While their “subjects” live in poverty, the royals live a life of total luxury – all because they were lucky enough to be born into the right family.

Queens, Kings and Capitalism

Richard Seymour discusses the resignation of Liz Truss and the ongoing civil war within the Conservative party. We also talked about why Richard characterises the conservatives as a "middle class protest party", and finally we discussed whether or not Labour's impressive poll leads are vindication of the strategy of labour leader Keir Starmer.

Economists Radhika Desai & Michael Hudson explain multipolarity, decline of US hegemony

David Fleming explains the history that led up to the attempt at world control in 2020 via the globally declared public health emergency. Things really started to get weird in the run-up to the pandemic from 2018 onward with Extinction Rebellion, followed by AOC's Green New Deal seeking to eliminate air travel and hydrocarbons, and then Theresa May signing the UK up to Net Zero in 2019. These were all signs that the plan was being implemented. They are now pushing digital currencies and digital ID. The energy crisis is exacerbated to get us accustomed to UBI. They are now developing 15-minute cities which would lock the populace into place. He discusses his activism and getting this information into the hands of the public.
