From RUSSIA- On his program called Sputnik Orbiting the World, host George Galloway spoke with American journalist and radio producer Randy Credico, from WBAI and the legendary Christmas Coup Comedy Players. Randy is a friend of Julian Assange and talks about the British prison wedding of Julian and Stella Assange, how different our knowledge of world events might be if Julian had not spent the last three years in a maximum security prison, and how Americans are being gaslighted. He points to the political resistance that some American entertainers used to express, how fear and censorship are curtailing any questioning of the military industrial complex, and how public radio is the only safe haven for any dissent. Even Anglo-sphere commercial political comedy is superficial, and our mainstream news media is not scrutinizing what is being reported about war, energy, and climate change.
From JAPAN- The US and Philippines have launched their largest ever military drills in the South China Sea. A week after quasi-emergency measures against Covid were lifted, there are strong signs of a rebound in cases in Japan.
From CUBA- Mexican President Obrador confirmed that the 2014 case of the missing 43 teachers is continuing with new revelations. The Peruviam congress rejected a motion to impeach President Castillo. Bolivia is delaying the start of the trial against Jeanine Anez. A UN Human rights special rapporteur called on the Colombian government to crack down on violence against indigenous people. A US General told Congress that Iran is expanding its economic and security in Latin America. Deaths from Covid in Europe are on the rise again. Then a Viewpoint Biden's call for regime change in Russia.

"War itself is, of course, a form of madness. It is hardly a civilized pursuit. It is amazing how we spend so much time inventing devices to kill each other and so little time working on how to achieve peace." --Walter Cronkite
