retrospective look at Barack Obama's presidency: the lies and the crimes, the sell-job and the sell-out

Excellent interview that you will not hear on RTE or any mainstream media.

This week Eric Draitser welcomes back to the show Yvette Carnell and Pascal Robert for a retrospective look at Barack Obama's presidency: the lies and the crimes, the sell-job and the sell-out. Eric, Yvette, and Pascal discuss how Obama will be remembered by Americans, and especially Black Americans, as well as his image and legacy around the world. The conversation touches on everything from Obama as Wall Street's creature to his committment to conservative politics to Obama as precursor to Trump. Yvette Carnell argues that we have now entered the period of post-Hope politics, and it's hard to disagree. Pascal calls Obama neoliberal confectioners sugar, and it's hard to disagree. Check out this week's CounterPunch Radio for some real analysis on Obama's legacy - we promise it's better than Trump's twitter feed.

Peter B Collins - Washington drowns in anonymous leaks

Peter B Collins alternative news podcast from the West Coast of United States.

Interesting show on the murky depths of the CIA where Peter delves into recent anonymous leaks about 'Russia involvment in Trump's election'.  He describes it as "anonymous official leakers offer spook dust".

He also talks about election fraud and the abject absent of Hilary Clinton or any of her officials from the recount centers.  

In our view that is not surprising given the amount of incriminating evidence the secret service has on her, the Clinton Foundation and their entourage.  How come these niggling omnipresent thoughts pervade?

 

USA the dark side - Trump and his military cabinet

A Free Radio Podcast

Gorilla Radio, Victoria, Canada, dedicated to social justice, the environment, community, and providing a forum for people and issues not covered in the corporate media.

In this extract Melvin A. Goodman, a former CIA analyst and author discusses his recent article at CounterPunch, 'Trump's Campaign of Militarization'.

 

IF November was the “stepping off” point, then December is the “hurtling towards the hard landing” of January’s Trump presidency. Libertarians, and what remains of the Left who took cold comfort in the candidate’s expressed wish to draw in America’s military talons must today be nervously eyeing Mr. T.’s Manhattan aerie as one after another military man is added to his foreign policy cast of hawks; even as the bellicose Commander-in-Chief to be runs roughshod over diplomatic norms and protocol niceties.
