Name: Episode 212: NATO (Part 1) by TrueAnon
Duration: 1 h 24 min 6 s
Description: We’re joined by independent researcher Ben (twitter.com/housetrotter) for a multi-part series exploring the theory and practice of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Part One is about the creation of NATO and the early years of the organization.

There was a SEATO in Southeast Asia from 1954 to 1977 (Australia, France, New Zealand, America, Great Britain, Pakistan, Phillippines, and Thailand were members.) Nobody got along and it just fell apart for a number of complicated reasons.

The NATO "defense" of Lithuania would be to threaten to use tactical nuclear weapons on certain key sites.

There was also a giant collection of surplus weapons after WWII on the American side and they had to be sold off/given away to places like Belgium and South America to keep warehouse costs down. That was another push for some sort of alliance.

It was West Germany, which was just 2/3rds of the prewar Germany. Not "Germany", which didn't come back until 1991.

Why does NATO exist?  Defense against whom?  The combined defense spending of NATO is $1.25 trillion.  The defense spending of Russia is $65 billion.

618 - Z Whispers (4/11/22)

We speak to Boni Illagan, renowned Filipino anti-martial law activist, journalist, and playwright about his radicalization, Martial Law under the Marcos dictatorship, and the hollowing out of Filipino historical memory. Ferdinand Marcos’s son, Bong Bong Marcos, is running for President in the May elections alongside Sarah Duterte, the current president's daughter. A nightmare for those who survived to tell the stories of their capture, torture, and years of imprisonment under the Marcos rule, Bong Bong has soared in popularity particularly with young people.

Boni Illagan is co-convenor of the Campaign Against the Return of the Marcoses and Martial Law (facebook.com/CARMMAPH), an organization working tirelessly to keep the memory of the Marcos’s brutality alive.

Episode 222: Boni Ilagan

The person behind the anonymous anti-LGBT account supported by Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson and now the broader right wing media has been identified as LA-based real estate broker Chaya Raichik. We sit with Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz to discuss the absurd accusation that her reporting "doxxed" Raichik, who by the time the article was released had already registered a media company, been interviewed by the New York Post and Fox News, and was taking money from the founder of the Babylon Bee.

Episode 27: COACH!

"Increasing Numbers of US Students Look for a ‘Real’ World," read a 1965 headline from the magazine Moderator. "Academics: Get Real!," the Harvard Business Review implored in 2009. "‘Defund the police’ runs into reality," the Washington Post warned in 2021. "As Latin America Shifts Left, Leaders Face a Short Honeymoon," the New York Times declared in 2022.  

We're often reminded that anyone who espouses some degree of left-wing politics – whether a student, activist, political leader, or anyone in between – is at odds with the "real world." Academics, especially those in the humanities, sit in their ivory towers. Organizers and demonstrators against state violence have their heads in the clouds. Elected leaders campaigning on elevating living standards don’t know what they're in for.

But who's in charge of determining what’s ‘realistic’? Or what "the real world" is exactly? Why is studying theory, fighting for better healthcare, or working toward poverty reduction any less ‘real’ than plugging away at a spreadsheet for a weapons manufacturer or venture capital firm? And how did this pat and folksy concept of the "real world" emerge as a go-to dunk on eggheads and activists?

On this episode, we seek to answer these questions, as we examine the canard that anyone to the left of a Goldman Sachs executive isn't living in or contributing to the "real world."

Our guest is Street Fight Radio's Bryan Quinby.
