Nancy Pelosi Escalates China Tensions With Reckless Taiwan Visit
In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Ricardo Vaz, political analyst & editor at Venezuelanalysis.com to discuss the UK High Court's ruling on Juan Guaido's control of Venezuela's gold reserves originally seized as part of the attempt to overthrow the government of Venezuela , the clear lack of legal reasoning that this decision and others are based on and the naked political reasoning that motivates this theft of Venezuelan resources, what Juan Guaido is up to these days as the US and its allies continue to use him as a puppet, and how the sanctions regime imposed on Venezuela is related to the gold reserves and how it impacts Venezuela's economy.
In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by technologist Chris Garaffa, co-host of the CovertAction Bulletin podcast to discuss Google stating that it will give police access to video footage from its Nest cameras to police without a warrant under certain emergency circumstances and the extreme breach of privacy this surveillance technology entails, Instagram's botched effort to pivot to video in its attempt to keep up with other platforms like TikTok and continue collecting ad revenue, disturbing experiments that have revealed the ability of artificial intelligence to create thousands of chemical weapons , and how the social media's algorithms are engineered for engagement and ad revenue to the detriment of its users.
Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Rachel Hu, organizer and co-host of the CovertAction Bulletin Podcast to discuss Nancy Pelosi's extremely dangerous visit to Taiwan in violation of the One China policy and other diplomatic agreements and the extreme escalation that it represents, how the illegal blockade of Cuba has affected life for the people of the island and how Cuba continues to resist imperial domination, and life in Cuba and under the socialist government compares to life in the austerity of the US.
