Listen HERE Judging by his photo, American Herald Tribune writer Michael Howard doesn’t look old enough to remember the 1960s and 1970s. But he seems fully up to speed on the propaganda “black legend” that’s been blasting out BS about Iran ever since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. In this interview we discuss the insanity of American foreign policy, especially its mad infatuation with nuclear weapons and Zionism, its Iranophobia, and its clumsy aggression towards Russia and China, forcing those two nations to form an alliance against the declining US (ex-)hegemon. Note: The American Herald Tribune has recently come under attack…

Ron Jacobs (Counterpunch) on 1960-1970s, Iran, Impeachment
Listen HERE Looking for non-MSM perspectives on the Middle East and more? Counterpunch and American Herald Tribune are worth checking out.

Topics: Ron’s recent articles on Iran and impeachment. I’m also curious about his take on the ’60s and ’70s counterculture movements. My next post will be the second hour of this live show, an interview with American Herald…
FULL ARTICLEWhy Big Brother Fears Qassem Soleimani: He’s the Che Guevara of the 21st Century
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor, for the Unz Review He was the 21st century’s most accomplished military leader—and a deeply spiritual man. Before they killed him, they didn’t even want you to know his name. After martyring him, they realized their mistake—and pulled out all the stops to stop you from finding out that he was a great man, a modern-day Che Guevara. An unprecedented wave of censorship has crashed down on millions of people posting pro-Soleimani messages and images on social media. There has never before been a mass silencing like this. The hundreds of millions of Iranians, Iraqis,…
FULL ARTICLETwo Shia Muslims and a Goat Farmer Walk Into a Radio Show: Part 1
Listen HERE Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world, and the Shia school of thought may be its fastest-growing segment. Tonight we talk to two white American converts to Shia Islam—one ethnically Italian, one ethnically Jewish—plus an Italian-American dairy goat farmer who hasn’t converted to Shiism…yet. (Disclaimer: I haven’t either. I’m just a plain ole Muslim.) First half hour: Charles Messina is an Italian-American Shia Muslim. He wrote me: “Salaam Dr. Kevin, I have been very busy on the [NYC] subway talking about Islam, Iran, & the great General Soleimani, and I want to let the American people know…

FULL ARTICLEBanned from Facebook for Posting the Official Iranian Slogan Mourning Gen. Soleimani
by Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor Facebook says my post, pictured above, “goes against our standards on dangerous individuals and organizations.” Apparently they think that Iran’s top military leader Gen. Qassem Soleimani was a “dangerous individual” and that the nation of Iran is a “dangerous organization.” They are insane. Iran has not attacked another country in centuries (some say millennia). Gen. Soleimani, the man who defeated ISIS, by far the most popular man in Iran, was the greatest anti-terrorist commander in modern history. Trump, who murdered Soleimani and repeatedly lied about the pretext—a narcissistic illiterate psychopathic nutjob with his finger…

Listen HERE Ken Meyercord is the author of “Immoral Injury,” the heart of my recent Veterans Today post “Trump’s Shameless Murder of Soleimani Will Kill Thousands of US Troops—By Suicide.” Ken is also a fearless truth warrior who attends think-tank-sponsored events in the Washington, DC area and asks the hard questions.

In this conversation we discuss the Iran situation and related issues, including the power of the Israel lobby in the United States—a topic on which Dr. McKinney has been quite outspoken. Toward the end of the interview, we ask: What would it take to transform the current awareness…
