Longtime friend of The Jimmy Dore Show and hair model Jackson Hinkle came on the show to tell Jimmy all about his new project, launching a communist party right in the good old USA. Jackson and Jimmy discuss a range of topics, including the authoritarianism and scarcity many Americans associate with Soviet era communism, whether private enterprise would be allowed under US-based communism and the record of success China has experienced under communist rule.
Democracy Now! Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza. The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
