Leid Stories—Politics: Why Do We Continue to Play Their Game? (Part 2)—10.06.16

We continue yesterday’s discussion, predicated on the idea that this stinker of an election year should be a year of reckoning about the political system. Growing dissatisfaction with it over the years has given rise to a spate of popular movements and new parties, but very few of them achieving critical mass or the political heft to beat the system at its own game.

The Gary Null Show – 10.06.16

Today On The Gary Null Show Gary talks about the benefits of cinnamon, the destruction of the rain forests, a commentary on the Clintons and drugs for children. In the second half of the program Gary speaks with guest Diana Johnstone on Hillary Clinton’s imperialist ideology and her role in the humanitarian catastrophe in Syria. Dr. Diana Johnstone is an American geopolitical investigative author residing in Paris who focuses on Western foreign policy. She has been a long time civil rights activist going back to the Vietnam war. Diana was the European editor for the US weekly In These Times for 11 years and the press officer for the European Greens in the European Parliament. Her early book “Fools Crusade” raised controversies over her analysis of the Serbia-Bosnia war, yet has been defended by Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, Tariq Ali and others. Diana had received her doctorate from the University of Minnesota and her articles frequently appear on Counterpunch, Tomdispatch, In These Times, and other sources. Her latest book, with an excellent title, is “Queen of Chaos: The Misadventures of Hillary Clinton,” and looks at the long history Hillary’s poor and failed foreign policy decisions from the Clinton administration to the present.
