DUE DISSIDENCE—On this stream: Hillary Clinton appears on Rachel Maddow and suggests Americans who spread “propaganda” should be criminally punished – details emerge on trump suspect after he’s detained by police – Russia lays out red lines for Ukraine to avoid global war with NATO – and more.

EDITOR—Larry provides calm, honest, and authoritative analysis on the current situation in the Middle East, the Ukraine War, and their probable repercussions around the globe. Larry C. Johnson is a veteran of the CIA and the State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism. He is the founder and managing partner of BERG Associates, which was established in 1998. Larry provided training to the US Military’s Special Operations community for 24 years. He has been vilified by the right and the left, which means he must be doing something right.

JIMMY DORE—A range of prominent commentators, business executives and celebrities including Dave Portnoy, hedge fund manager Eric Reiner, Ben Shapiro and Michael Rappaport chimed in to respond with apparent glee to the recent pager attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon. For individuals who express such concern over terrorism attacks that have killed and maimed Israelis, this giddiness represents a real surprise — or at least it would if they adopted a universal code of morality. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss these individuals’ love of Israel expressed through joy at the deaths of Lebanese children.

INDRAJIT—The colonizers of the Raj played political Jenga, corrupting local elites with imported goods, education for their children, and filthy lucre from the enslavement of their own people. Splinter colonization is still the policy of the day, divide and conquer the masses using local elites. It goes back to the great grand pappy of White Empire.

OLIVER BOYD-BARRETT—I have long argued that the current global tension is the direct outcome of the determination by increasingly plutocratic, pseudo-democratic – but in reality, authoritarian – neoliberal Western powers to do whatever they must to sustain their hegemony over the “rules-based” (or “we-make-up-the-rules-as-we-like-without-any-accountability-whatsoever “) order. They are trying to suppress the emergence of a more democratic, pluricentrist world whose order is underwritten by a system of international law and which may eventually be monitored and regulated by a profoundly reformed United Nations, whose current Security Council will be summarily dismissed.
