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 âThe Withdrawal: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and the Fragility of U.S. Power,â 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: â â â https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcastâ â â +Our rad website: â â â https://greenandredpodcast.org/â â â + 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: â â â https://bit.ly/DonateGandRâ â â Our Networks//+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: â â â https://www.laborradionetwork.org/â â +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.

To celebrate the World Series we got together with our frequent-collaborator and great friend Clayton Lust (@claytonlust) to discuss the business of baseball, an appropriate topic since the two most valuable and wealthy franchises, the Yankees and Dodgers, are fighting it out.We discussed the ways in which baseball is a great way to learn about capitalism--the value of franchises, the wealth of owners and players, but more importantly the state's support of wealthy MLB teams through subsidies to build stadiums, tax breaks, infrastructure and more. We also discussed the impact of all this on the fans--the price of tickets, merchandise at the ballpark, and the overall costs to the family to go to a game.We like to talk about pop culture and politics and what better way to discuss it than discuss the fall classic.âââââIntro and Outro- âTake Me Out to the BallgameâFollow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: â â â https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcastâ â â +Our rad website: â â â https://greenandredpodcast.org/â â â + 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: â â â https://bit.ly/DonateGandRâ â â Our Networks//+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: â â â https://www.laborradionetwork.org/â â +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, we dive into the story of Vietnamese immigration to the U.S. following the war through the lens of food with our long time friend and colleague Prof Roy VĆ©. We discuss Vietnamese-American food gardens and cooking, how they affected the community in places like Houston and the Gulf Coast and the multiracial community developed in places like the Houstonâs Allen Parkway Village. We also talk about the politics of the diaspora, the murder of Vietnamese journalist Nguyen Dam Phong by right-wing anti-communist Vietnamese groups and right wing Vietnamese support and participation in the January 6th insurrection.

In the third installment of our Arts and Culture series, we talked about the life and politics of the late music legend Kris Kristofferson. We discussed his early life, his military service, his trajectory into the Nashville song writing scene, his music, his acting career and, of course, his politics. From his anti-war views on the American empire to his support of Mumia Abu Jamal and Leonard Peltier to his outspoken support of the Sandinistas and Palestinians.

In our second installment in our new "Green & Red Arts and Culture Series" we talked about the book and movie *The Milagro Beanfield War." While is a heartwarming story of a regular guy taking on the system, there are significant political messages there too.The people of Milagro, New Mexico had to deal with outside "developers" coming in to their community take control of politics, the land, and even the war. The character Joe Mondragon then kicked a sluice gate to water his beans and invoked the wrath of local businessmen and politicians. Locally Joe became a hero and the development company put him in its crosshairs.The book, by John Nichols, and the movie directed by Robert Redford examine issues like land use, water rights, local organization efforts, community organizing, Latin culture, and more. ---------------------------------Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by MoodyFollow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: â â â https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcastâ â â +Our rad website: â â â https://greenandredpodcast.org/â â â

Over the past week, Israel has begun a major escalation against Hezbollah in Lebanon with the "pager attack" on the Lebanese population, assassinations of senior Hezbollah leadership and airstrikes in southern Lebanon that has killed at least 500 people and led to thousands to flee their homes. Israel has called this strategy "De-escalation through escalation," and done it with the full support of the Biden-Harris administration. In our latest episode, Scott talks with host and producer of Breakthrough News Eugene Puryear about the escalation, how it effects politics and movement politics in the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign. They also talk in depth about the connections between the black liberation movement and the Free Palestine movement. They also discuss why black churches and organized labor have supported a ceasefire, why the mainstream environmental groups haven't. And finally how there is increasing support of socialism, dislike of capitalism in the U.S. and the backlash to that growing consciousness.

Richard Slotkin has written some of the more important books explaining the way Americans have created myths to justify slavery, repression, and empire, including "Regeneration Through Violence," "The Fatal Environment," and "Gunfighter Nation." His new book, "A Great Disorder," summarizes his previous ideas and take us to the present, with significant analyses of American from Reagan to the present, with ideas about the way Reagan and Bush in particular brought back the idea of the frontier and the cowboy to exploit and protect it. In our latest episode, we discussed with him the Obama years, his failure to tell a compelling story, and the culture wars and intensification of gun culture in response. And we spend a lot of time discussing Trump's use of old myths about violence and white supremacy to create a Confederate restoration project. Bio//Richard Slotkin is a cultural critic and historian.

In 2004, organizer and arts organizer David Solnit published the anthology "Globalize Liberation: How to Uproot the System and Build a Better World." In the introduction he said, âthe new radicalism looks different everywhere,â and cited the Zapatista rebellion in Chiapas, Mexico, as a pivotal moment in his understanding of the new radicalism. âThe Zapatistas held that there are multiple valid frameworks to look at the world,â and contrasted this outlook with the âcookie-cutter modelâ of the past, epitomized by the Soviet Union. The book served as an organizers guide, but the many chapters described a movement of movements that emerged in the post-Cold War era. The movements that challenged neo-liberal institutions like the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and the Free Trade Area of the Americas; and the U.S. empire's invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. The movements that later lead to Occupy, the global climate justice movements, a labor resurgence and efforts to fight empire and genocide in Palestine and other parts of the world. Scott talks with long time friend and comrade David Solnit (@dsolnit) about that movement of movements, the moment in the early 2000s it came out of, lessons learned and how the book still still applies to movement organizing twenty years later. Bio//David co-founded Art and Revolution Collective in the San Francisco Bay Area, and organized as part of the Direct Action Network in Seattle in 1999 and Direct Action to Stop the War in San Francisco in 2003.

In our latest episode, returning to a theme we discussed frequently in 2020-2021 we talked about the various ruling class forces opposed to Donald Trump's candidacy. America is a right-wing country with no mass organized left resistance, so finding and exploiting fissures in the ruling class is a useful tactic. We discussed the way both candidates, Trump and Harris, take reactionary positions on key issues so there's really no space for a left vision of the future. And making sure that the country stays the way it is, with profound gaps in wealth and poverty and a ruling class more solidly in control than ever, is the main task of the corporate oligarchy. To that end, in our latest episode, we discussed the way the Democrats have embraced GOP politicians, especially the demonic Cheney family. We talked about the various corporate leaders who are endorsing and funding Harris, and military officials who prefer her interventionism to Trump's chaotic uncertainty.Trump is a major destabilizing force and the capitalists understand that Harris is actually a far better steward of their interests than the erratic and addled Trump.So check it out.-----------------------------------------Outro- "The Dick Song" by the MinistryFollow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: â â â https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcastâ â â +Our rad website: â â â https://greenandredpodcast.org/â â â + 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: â â â https://bit.ly/DonateGandRâ â â Our Networks//+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: â â â https://www.laborradionetwork.org/â â +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.

H. Rap Brown once said "violence is as American as cherry pie." Weâve seen an increase in rhetoric around violence in American politics particularly from the far right. We've seen many incidents of escalated violence that include the Capitol riot on January 6th, 2021 and the recent assassination attempt of Donald Trump. In our latest, we dive into the question of political violence with American University professor, and author of "Nasty Politics," Thomas Zeitzoff (@zeitzoff). Bio//Thomas Zeitzoff is a professor in the School of Public Affairs at American University. He is author of âNasty Politics,â and a forthcoming book on the radical environmental movement called âNo Option But Sabotage: The Radical Environmental Movement and the Climate Crisis.â----------------Outro- "Killing in the Name" by RATM

Two decades ago, a group of Indonesian agricultural workers in the Sumatran uplands began occupying the agribusiness plantation near their homes. In the years since, members of this remarkable movement have reclaimed collective control of their land and cultivated diverse agricultural forests on it, repairing the damage done over nearly a century of abuse.
Scott talks with environmental anthropologist David Gilbert (@david_e_gilbert) to delve into the history and politics of Indonesia's landback movements. They discuss how grassroots agrarian workers organized to resist corporate and governmental land grabs under the authoritarian regime of Suharto and the New Order. They also get into the Cold War politics of the region, U.S. intervention in Indonesia and current political developments in Indonesia.
Bio//David Gilbert is an environmental anthropologist with a special interest in social movements, ecological change, and post-development theory. David is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He held previous positions as at the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University. He holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Stanford University. He is the author of "Countering Dispossession, Reclaiming Land: A Social Movement Ethnography."He is active in protest movements across four continents, from Sumatra and Amazonia to Catalonia and California.
