Linh Dinh recovering from illness in Tirana, Albania; plus my latest with Richie Allen

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE First half hour: Poet-journalist-photoessayist Linh Dinh, recovering after a nasty bout with what may have been COVID-19, reports from Tirana, Albania. Why are Albanians, like so many others around the world, obsessed with American kitsch, at the very moment when America’s empire and culture are in steep decline? Check out Linh’s pictures of the spaghetti western themed restaurant and other items of Tirana Americana, and read his postcards from Albania: Dying Thoughts, Fred Reed, Joe Biden and John Cassavetes, Juden Über Alles!, From Communism to Remembering the Holocaust, in Tirana Second half hour: Richie Allen, Europe’s leading alternative…

Linh Dinh Reports from South Korea, Where They Beat Coronavirus Without a Lockdown

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE Linh Dinh, the great exiled Vietnamese-American writer and world traveler, has been publishing coronavirus reports from around the world, most recently “Coronavirus Missives from the USA, Brazil, Italy, Iran and Mexico.” In this interview Linh reports live from South Korea, where they beat the coronavirus without a lockdown. In this slightly weird interview, recorded on my live show, Linh couldn’t hear me due to a technical problem (it turned out his mic was interfering with his audio). So I carried on my side of the conversation by typing questions and responses to Linh on Skype chat, while speaking them…

LIVE RADIO: Barry Kissin on Coronavirus & 2001 Anthrax Attacks; Linh Dinh on “Coronavirus Missives from 5 Countries”

Kevin Barrett

Broadcasts live Fridays 8 to 10 pm Eastern on Revolution.Radio later archived HERE First hour: Barry Kissin is an attorney who lives near the Ft. Detrick biowar facility where the 2001 false flag anthrax was made. He is an expert on the anthrax aspect of the 9/11-anthrax false flag, and is knowledgable and deeply concerned about our desperate need to ban biological weapons while there is still time. But he is not convinced by Larry Romanoff’s arguments that COVID-19 is a US bioweapon. Second hour: Linh Dinh, the great exiled Vietnamese-American writer and world traveler, reports live from…where the heck is…

Linh Dinh in Laos: White Immigrant Invasion Alert!

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE And read Linh’s new article (featuring material discussed in this interview) HERE. Some of my Veterans Today friends and colleagues (readers as well as editors) visited Southeast Asia in the 1960s. Their task: Spread death and degeneracy on behalf of Operation Apocalypse Now. Today, Westerners are still spreading death and degeneracy in Southeast Asia, but in a kinder and gentler way—at least if you consider drunken headbutting and corrupting the local women as kinder and gentler than bombing the sh*t out of the place and corrupting the local women. Anyone with eyes to see knows the West is…

Henry Herskovitz on Zionist Lawfare vs. 1st Amendment

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE First hour: Henry Herskovitz of Ann Arbor, MI is the prime target of an 86-page lawsuit filed last month by Marvin Gerber. Henry, who visited Palestine two decades ago and saw the suffering of Palestinian genocide victims, has been leading anti-Zionist protests outside the Beth Israel Synagogue every Saturday for the past sixteen years. On January 6, Henry explained to the Ann Arbor City Council why he leads the Beth Israel protests, and got pushback from a City Councilman named Ackerman. Below is Henry’s email. * “Anti-Semitism in modern America looks exactly like Mr. Herskovitz” Thus spoke Ann…

Linh Dinh on “Corpses in Ocean”

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE I introduced Linh Dinh‘s ferocious, touching, painfully autobiographical essay “Corpses in Ocean” as follows: As my Vietnam veteran VT colleagues can attest, that atrociously bloody war seemed totally pointless at the time. (Almost as pointless as destroying the Middle East for Israel today.) But now, looking back with pride, we can reflect that had we not made such heroic efforts to save ‘Nam from the Godless commies, Linh Dinh would probably never have written in English. So, quoting Madeleine Albright, “we think the price was worth it.” In this interview Linh elaborates on “Corpses in Ocean”: “This last…

Linh Dinh: Ordinary folks everywhere just want to have lunch!

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE Linh Dinh, America’s greatest gonzo-journalist-in-exile, argues that “people just want to be left alone, so they can just eat simple food, drink cheap beer, and have conversations. But unfortunately life isn’t that unmolested. That’s been a constant theme in my writing and in my thinking.” I’m not so sure about the cheap beer—my life and conversations have been much better since I gave that stuff up—but other than that, Linh may be on to something. Linh says “I’ve always advocated boycotting the American elections. Americans need to make a stand, they have to declare to history that they’re…

Jonathan Revusky, Linh Dinh, and Yours Truly on Internet Censorship

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE FFWN recently reported on: “NYT devotes top of front page to propagandizing for YouTube censorship” First half hour: Jonathan Revusky takes a nuanced and ambivalent view. He suggests that defamatory big lies reported by various racist/nationalist types (like the supposed “Muslim rape army,” the alleged Cologne mass sexual assaults, “no-go zones,” and so on) are so bad that maybe we shouldn’t be too outraged if the purveyors get deplatformed. Second half hour: Linh Dinh generally agrees with yours truly that anything that remotely qualifies as non-criminal political speech is protected by the First Amendment, that internet platforms are today’s…

Linh Dinh on America as Religion

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE America’s poet-photographer-laureate-in-exile Linh Dinh speaks to us from Vietnam, where he has been working in an in-law’s plastics factory and composing essays. Linh’s brilliant new essay “America as Religion” begins: “I just got off Skype with Kevin Barrett. Interviewed, I sat in the dusty office of our dustier plastic recycling plant. Truck horns and roosters crowing provided background noises. Though we covered many topics, I want to expand on just one, that of America as a religion…” We also “talk about some of the issues that this place raises, such as cultural hegemony, and the Vietnamese taking over…

Linh Dinh on “Endless Culture War”

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE Linh Dinh is one of America’s best writers. He is now living in Dak Lak, Vietnam, working as a foreman in his brother-in-law’s plastics recycling plant. Read about life in Dak Lak, among other things, in Linh’s new article “Endless Culture War.” How did Linh get unofficially expelled from the American literary scene? “It happened step by step. I didn’t support Obama live everybody else. I’m not a Democrat, not a Republican—I’m neither. So it started there. And then I’d talk about 9/11. And I wrote articles about the Bin Laden assassination. I thought it was nonsense. There…
