André Vltchek on Western terrorism, Ajamu Baraka on “humanitarian intervention”

Kevin Barrett

My next two shows feature two of our leading public intellectuals, discussing two timely topics, “Western terrorism” and “humanitarian intervention”. . . which amount to the same thing these days, the latter being a euphemism for the former. You might even say that “humanitarian intervention” is an oxymoron like “jumbo shrimp” and “military intelligence.” Broadcast Tues.  10/1/13 10-11 a.m. Central (1500 GMT) on NoLiesRadio.org,  archived here.  Note: TruthJihad.com subscribers can listen to shows on-demand before they are broadcast – and also get free downloads! Guest: André Vltchek, whose new book (co-authored by some guy named Chomsky) is entitled On Western…

André Vltchek on BBC lies, Chomsky, and more!

Kevin Barrett

Tuesday, April 2nd, 11 a.m. to noon Central (9-10 Pacific) on NoLiesRadio.org (then archived here a few hours after broadcast). André Vltcheck is a novelist, journalist, filmmaker, and world citizen. A specialist at unmasking the lies of empire, André Vltcheck recently published a terrific article explaining that contrary to Western media propaganda, Zimbabwe’s capital Harare is a reasonably nice, liveable city: Harare: Is It Really the Worst City on Earth? This interview features my debate with Vltcheck on Noam Chomsky. (Vltcheck is a friend of Chomsky and an unmitigated admirer, while I’m, shall we say, mitigated; I find Chomsky oddly…

Why does Rabbi Michael Lerner lie about Iran?

Kevin Barrett

I’m sure he’s just parroting the lies that are common among his crowd. But when lies have been thoroughly debunked for months or years, people who parrot them are liars, even if the lying is motivated more by naiveté than malice. Here is what Rabbi Lerner just emailed me: Editor’s Note: Noam Chomsky powerfully presents (below)  the case against US and Israeli policy toward Iran. Yet I’m troubled by an aspect of the situation to which Chomsky gives only brief lip-service. Millions of people demonstrated against the stealing of the Iranian election by the fundamentalist mullahs who control the state…

If Herb Caen, I can too

Kevin Barrett

Back when newspapers were worth reading…and I’m outing myself as a real old-timer by admitting I can remember that far back…the San Francisco Chronicle featured a columnist named Herb Caen…who put three dots between everything he wrote…and just about everything else he wrote… Herb earned his keep by emitting a steady stream of witty little blurt-outs and brain-farts. Few rivaled the epigrams of LaRochefoucauld.  But at least Herb kept them coming, day after day, week after week, year after year. The guy was a maestro of three-dot journalism…a nattering nabob of non-sequitur…a supreme potentate of suspension points…an elevated eminence of…

Is Wikileaks Bogus? Chomsky, Azaziah Weigh In!

Kevin Barrett

Is Wikileaks for real? Monday’s guest on Truth Jihad Radio, Jonathan Azaziah, has ripped Wikileaks as a Mossad operation. And nothing he’s seen since then has changed his opinion. Meanwhile the anti-9/11-truth left, i.e. the gatekeepers, are almost all Wikileaks cheerleaders.  Julian Assange, like these gatekeepers, is “annoyed by 9/11 conspiracy theories.” Now Wikileaks tells us that the mean, nasty Muslim suicide hijacking plot was even bigger than we realized, aided by an al-Qaeda support network that the government never discovered. Uh-huh. Whatever you say, Julian. Oddly, Noam Chomsky, the former 9/11 gatekeeper who now admits there is no evidence…

Chomsky: No Evidence al-Qaeda Did 9/11

Kevin Barrett

Chomsky: US-led Afghan war,  criminal  Press TV   11/3/2010 Renowned Jewish-American scholar Noam Chomsky says US invasion of Afghanistan was illegal since to date there is no evidence that al-Qaeda has carried out the 9/11 attacks. “The explicit and declared motive of the [Afghanistan] war was to compel the Taliban to turn over to the United States, the people who they accused of having been involved in World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist acts. The Taliban…they requested evidence…and the Bush administration refused to provide any,” the 81-year-old senior academic made the remarks on Press TV’s program a Simple Question. “We later…
