In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Dave Lindorff, investigative journalist, Editor of the online publication ThisCantBeHappening.net and 2019 winner of an “Izzy” Award for Outstanding Independent Media to discuss the removal of Russia from the UN Human Rights Council , the blatant hypocrisy of removing Russia while allowing the US to remain on the council despite the obscene rap sheet of the US, the US and NATO's intervention in Ukraine and prolonging of the conflict and what an end to the conflict requires, and how the US is taking advantage of war hysteria to add to a ballooning budget to wage more death and destruction around the globe.
In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by technologist Chris Garaffa, the editor of TechforthePeople.org, co-host of the ReBoot podcast to discuss the FBI contracting a social media program tracking to collect data from a vast array of social media sites and the privacy concerns raised by this software, the targeting of EU mission officials with NSO Group spyware and the major questions surrounding its use and the existence of the spyware industry, the European Union's expansion of a facial recognition database and the inevitable violation of rights that comes with facial recognition, and the EU's testing of a lie detection technology on its borders.
