Gorilla Radio with Chris Cook, Brad Hoff, Boris Kagarlitsky, Roger Annis, Janine Bandcroft Sept. 30, 2015

This Week on GR

by C. L. Cook - Gorilla-Radio.com

It's been a busy week for terror in the news. In Canada, leaders of the three major parties vying for the October 19th general election "debated" foreign policy Monday, with everyone agreeing on all the safe points to be made, while in New York, the United Nations began its annual confab with international terrorism being high on the docket, though neither Canada's ambitious men, nor the UN broached the inconvenient provenance of ISIS, the media's most oft-cited terror group, or the terror inflicted by its paymasters in Western capitals.

Brad Hoff is an author, journalist, educator and Managing Editor of Levant Report.com. The former Marine has taught ancient and modern history at the college and high school levels, and has lived and traveled extensively throughout the Middle East, spending most of his time in Syria prior to the 2011 uprising.

Listen. Hear.

Hoff's articles also appear at Antiwar.com and Foreign Policy Journal among other on-line sites. Brad's latest article charts the curious career of ISIS commander, Omar "the Chechen" al-Shishani.

And; Victoria Street Newz publisher emeritus and CFUV Radio broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft will join us at the bottom of the hour to bring us news of good goings-on going on on our city's streets, and beyond there too, in the upcoming week. But first, Brad Hoff and Omar al-Shishani and the Jihadis fighting under America's umbrella.
