This Week on GR

And welcome back to the Age of Barbarism. It was perhaps a conceit of "Western Civilization", (something Mahatma Gandhi famously replied "would be a very good idea" when asked his opinion of it) a conceit that we'd ever managed to emerge the naked, dog eat dog jungle. But here we are again, watching culture and civilization collapse - or more exactly, being collapsed.
There is a common thread between the horrors visited on Gaza and Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, and that same in lesser seen places like Sudan, and Somalia, and Bangladesh. Last August, the government of Sheikh Hasina fell in Dhaka, just as those in Kiev and Damascus did, thanks to the coordinated campaigns of Western-backed "activists" and their barbarian accomplices. And if you haven't heard about it, that's no surprise; journalists covering the erasure of their societies are beaten, arrested, disappeared into prisons, and murdered in the street.
Professor Jeremy Kuzmarov is a scholar, journalist and author, who writes for and serves as Managing Editor to CovertAction Magazine. Kuzmarov's book titles include, ‘Obama’s Unending Wars’, ‘The Russians Are Coming, Again’, (written with John Marciano) and his latest, ‘Warmonger. How Clinton’s Malign Foreign Policy Launched the U.S. Trajectory From Bush II to Biden’. Jeremy's most recent article at CAM is, 'U.S. Backed Regime Change Operation Has Resulted in Reign of Terror in Bangladesh under Darling of the Clinton Foundation, Mohammed Yunus'.

And; though the terrorizing of Yemen's population by the United States' bombing campaign is getting some press now, most of those reading of the missile strikes and intelligence leak "faux pas" of the new Trump administration likely don't realize the country has suffered the full might of the Empire and its regional satraps for nearly a decade. And even yet neither the press, nor representatives on either side of Washington's political aisles has broached, as my second guest writes, "the inherent illegality of the United States’ bombing campaign against an impoverished country in defense of Israel amid its genocide of Palestinians".
Kathy Kelly is board president of World BEYOND War. A long-time peace and justice activist, essayist, author, and recipient of numerous awards for her peace service, she has too received multiple nominations for the Nobel Peace prize. Kelly's book titles include, ‘Prisoners on Purpose: a Peacemakers Guide to Jails and Prison,’ and ‘Other Lands Have Dreams: from Baghdad to Pekin Prison.’ Her recent essay at The Progressive is, 'The Real Outrage of Yemen'.

But first, Jeremy Kuzmarov and the Nobel Laureate's reign of terror in Bangladesh.
[Kathy reminds, Peace activist and Nobel Prize winner Mairead Maguire has begun a 40 day fast for the children of Gaza. Go to the link to find out about it and lend your support.]
