How The Corporate Media Escalates Risk of US-Russia Conflict
In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Arnold August, a Montreal-based author of 3 books on US-Cuba-Latin America relations, award-winning journalist published in English, Spanish & French on several continents, collaborating with teleSur, Cuban TV & Press TV Iran, is a Contributing Editor for The Canada Files, and a member of the International Manifesto Group to discuss the disinformation surrounding protests in Cuba following widespread power outages caused by damage from Hurricane Ian, how Cuba is able to prevent large amounts of casualties from hurricanes despite the blockade, how the US has historically seized on protests sparked by issues which have roots in the US blockade to attempt to overthrow the Cuban government, and how sanctions on Cuba compare efforts to rebuild its infrastructure.
In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by John Kiriakou, co-host of Political Misfits, which you can hear from 12 to 2 PM EST right here on Radio Sputnik to discuss a campaign to secure the human rights of Biafran activist Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and what that campaign reveals about the struggle to free Julian Assange, and how this same campaign reveals the character of the upcoming parliamentary election in Israel and the characterization of Palestinians by Israeli politicians.
Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Bryce Greene, Contributor to Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting to discuss Jordan Peele's film “Nope” and how its message about violent spectacle reflects a broader cultural rot in American entertainment media, the information warfare being waged around the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines and the uniform dismissal of US involvement in the sabotage by the mainstream media, how the constant demonization of Russia in the mainstream media is escalating conflict between the US and Russia to dangerous heights, and how progressive sounding language is weaponized by corporate owned media and warmongering officials to beat the drums of war.
