  • The NY Times recently published an essay titled "When Did Liberals Become So Comfortable with War?" This is a conventional media trope--that the Democrats were not a party of war but have pivoted toward that position.In this episode Scott and Bob go into detail about how wrong this idea is! The Democrats, the Liberals, since the days of Woodrow Wilson have been aggressive and warlike. In search of global markets and investment, cheap labor and resources, liberalism demanded International reach, with bankers and eventually soldiers spanning the globe to expand American power . . . all part of the core Liberal ideology. ----------------------------------Outro- "War Pigs" by Black SabbathFollow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM) +NEW: Follow us on Substack (https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com)+NEW: Follow us on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social)Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

    In a new series of episodes, we're looking at the 25th anniversary of the "Battle in Seattle" talking with a number of people who participated in the organizing and its aftermath.

    In this episode, we talk about the influence that Seattle had on our own organizing in Houston, TX. In 2001, we officially formed the Houston Global Awareness Collective with our comrades. We focused on political education around corporate globalization, empire and anti-capitalism (sound familiar? maybe you heard something of this on a podcast). After 9/11, our emphasis shifted to the anti-war movements and eventually began a local campaign against corporate war profiteer Halliburton.

    Bio// Scott Parkin and Bob Buzzanco are the co-founders of the Houston Global Awareness Collective [amongst other things].

    And the rest, as they say,
is history.

  • Green & Red Podcast is introducing a new series . . . The Battle of Seattle at 25! On November 30th 1999, protestors shut down the WTO meeting in Seattle and put the world on notice that the forces of globalization--the international ruling class of bankers, industrialists, politicians and others--would be met with force as they reshaped the world economy and caused more precarity and hardship.In this, our pilot episode, Bob offers a brief backgrounder on the way the global economy was transformed from World War II to the present, including discussions of the Bretton Woods System (pictured on the graphic), which created the IMF and World Bank, other trade agreements, financial issues like the "gold crisis" and the Nixon Shocks, and of course the development and meaning of NAFTA and the WTO.--------------------------------------Outro- "Call It Democracy" by Bruce CockburnLinks// + WTO Shutdown Organizers History Project (https://www.shutdownwto20.org/)Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM) +NEW: Follow us on Substack (https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com)+NEW: Follow us on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social)Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

  • In our latest, Bob talks with Payday Report founder and senior labor reporter Mike Elk about the recent indictment of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro.

    In addition to being a crack labor reporter, Mike Elk has spent a good deal of time in Brazil over the past couple years and we’ve had several conversations about Lula’s victory in 2022 and the role of Brazilian authorities to go after Jair Bolsonaro who’s now been indicted for forging a COVID passport, embezzlement for selling Rolex watches gifted by Saudi Arabians at a mall in Pennsylvania, and now for his role, along w/ 36 of his political cronies, in a plot to kill his successor, Lula. And of course we made the comparison between the way the Brazilians acted immediately to hold Bolsonaro legally liable and Merick Garland was so weak, slow, and feckless in dealing w/ Trump.

  • 61 years ago this weekend, John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. There's a school of conspiracy that says he was killed because he was a secret peacenik trying to end the Cold War and the war in Vietnam.

    We disagree. JFK was a Cold War hawk through and through. Historic episodes like the Cuban Missle Crisis tell us the true story.

    --------------------------------

    From the original episode:

    60 years ago this month, in October 1962, Americans anxiously heard news for almost two weeks straight about the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba, less than 100 miles away from the U.S. Nuclear War was possible, to some imminent.

    In this episode we offer a brief history of the Cuban Missile Crisis and, more importantly, a remembrance and reconsideration of the events of October and JFK actions throughout the crisis.

    JFK has been praised for his firm resolve, courage, and strength in handling the crisis but the reality is that he was provocative and almost caused a war against Russia. In this episode we’ll start by giving a background on JFK’s aggression toward Cuba, then we’ll offer a brief narrative of the crisis, and finally we’ll discuss how Kennedy continued his subversion against Castro’s government after theMissile Crisis.

    JFK was not heroic. His recklessness and need for credibility almost caused a nuclear exchange. The media doesn’t tell you this story. Green and Red does .

  • The 2024 election was referred to many as the "gender election." We saw breathless stories by the media about Gen Z men, black men, Latino men and others trending towards Donald Trump over Democrat Kamala Harris. Trump's strategy of messaging to men proved effective and he won the election. This also runs parallel to a crisis among men (particularly working class men) around stagnant wages, healthcare, declining qualities of life, isolation and alienation. In our first post-election episode, we talk with journalist Ryan Zickgraf about Trump's appeal to men and what the left can do about it.

  • The genocide in Palestine continues, as does a widening of war in the Middle East in Lebanon, Iran, Syria and other places. Establishment media has been responsible for inciting genocide and war through "atrocity propaganda." They've also been responsible for attacks on critics of U.S. and Israel policies related to the genocide.In our latest, we talk with return guest Greg Shupak (@GregShupak) about the U.S. media's incitement of Israel's violence against Palestinians and other parts of the Middle East.Bio//Greg Shupak teaches media studies at the University of Guelph-Humber in Toronto.

  • In a premortem from 2022, that is now a postmortem after yesterday's election, we are reposting our interview with Noam Chomsky from 2022 on the rightward shift of the Democrats.

    A very interview for Nov. 6, 2024.

    ---------------------------

    From the 2022 episode:

    Republicans go to war . . . Democrats go to brunch!The past 50 years have seen a dramatic shift to the far-right in American politics. On the heels of the 1972 McGovern debacle, the Democrats all but abandoned their New Deal heritage and moved swiftly to a stronger pro-business position and embraced Neo-Liberalism. They abandoned class politics and giving priority to workers and the poor and instead have embraced ID politics and wokeness. As the Republicans stole elections and Supreme Court seats, gerrymandered congressional districts, packed the courts, and ran scorched-earth campaigns at every level, the Democrats have offered a timid resistance at best.In this fantastic interview, Noam Chomsky gives us a history and analysis of the evolution of the Democrats from the party of FDR to a party that's Republican-Lite. We discussed the Carter campaign, the Trilateral Commission, the DLC and the Clintons, Obama, Democratic hawkishness, and other factors in the Democratic retreat from progressive ideas, all while the GOP waged an open and ruthless war on workers, non-whites, women, and others.Don't miss this important interview with the world's greatest living intellectual. Professor Chomsky is an American linguist, political philosopher, social critic and political activist. He is Institute Professor Emeritus in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT and Laureate Professor of Linguistics and Haury Chair in the Program in Environment and Social Justice at the University of Arizona. At 93, he is still active; writing and giving interviews to media all over the world. He is the author of scores of books, including American Power and the New Mandarins, Towards a New Cold War, Necessary Illusions, Hegemony or Survival, Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy and Requiem for the American Dream. His most recent book is “The Withdrawal: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and the Fragility of U.S. Power,” co-authored with Vijay Prashad.

  • "Poverty is a carcinogen"--Dr. Stephen Bezruchka, a longtime emergency room physician and med school professor, talked with us about his essential book *Inequality is Killing Us All." Bezruchka goes into depth on the way that economic inequality determines our access to healthcare. The U.S. spends more money on healthcare than any other country, but our outcomes, and especially our life spans, are not good. Children in America get less medical attention, poor people don't have access to essential services, and we're daily pummeled by the stresses of being poor and having to pay bills, go to work, pay rent, and be prepared if a medical emergency arises.This is a vital contribution to any national debate on health care, and Bezruchka is a passionate advocate for a more humane and democratic healthcare system.Bio//Stephen Bezruchka is on the faculty ofthe School of Public Health at the University of Washington in Seattle, and author of "Inequality Kills Us All: COVID-19's Health Lessons for the World."----------------------------------Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by MoodyLinks//+ Dr Bezruchka's website: https://stephenbezruchka.com/ Follow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠+Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠+ Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM)Support the Green and Red Podcast//+Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast+Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠Our Networks//+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠+We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork+Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/)This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

  • We had a fantastic interview w/ Dennis Bernstein, host of KPFA's "Flashpoints" and longtime journalist on the Left who's inspired and helped so many of us. Dennis talked about his start on radio, including fascinating recollections of his role in covering the U.S. war on Central America and the Contra-CIA-Cocaine scandal in the 80s. We talked about his role in Left media, and how he's been at the forefront of so many issues of importance to us--war and peace, justice, labor, immigration, and so on. Importantly we discussed the renewed "McCarthyist" attack on free speech, Dennis's thoughts on being a Jewish peace activist amid charges of anti-semitism, and we had a great conversation about his poetry and how important that's been to his own career. Bio// Dennis Bernstein (@burn_stick) is a poet, human rights reporter, host of Flashpoints (@flashpointsnews) on Pacifica Radio. He is the author of Notebook 19, Five Oceans in a Teaspoon, and Special Ed: Voices from a Hidden Classroom. ----------------------------------Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by MoodyLinks//+ Flashpoints on KPFA (https://bit.ly/3YiK6DZ)+ Dennis's poetry book "Notebook 19" (https://bit.ly/3NEBQJC)Follow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠+Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠+ Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM)Support the Green and Red Podcast//+Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast+Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠Our Networks//+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠+We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork+Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/)This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.
