The Jimmy Dore Show   Since the Gaza ceasefire was announced, reports have been coming out describing the treatment of Israeli prisoners of wars (typically called “hostages”) and Palestinian detainees, focusing on conflicting narratives in international media. Those released on both sides have alleged torture, but the maimed bodies of released Palestinian corpses suggest particularly brutal treatment. CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour was forced to make an on-air apology after commenting about relative conditions faced by captives, which prompted debate over media bias and self-censorship. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger use this moment to critique Western media coverage of the Israel–Hamas conflict and its framing of humanitarian suffering on both sides.

Lee Camp - Unredacted Tonight   Who is Maria Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader who just won the Nobel Peace Prize? Has the Nobel Peace Prize become a weapon of modern propaganda? Lee Camp connects the dots between Machado's award, the failed US coup attempts, and the current Trump administration's strategy to oust Nicolás Maduro by any means necessary. 

China has reached a major milestone in offshore energy infrastructure, with the total subsea pipeline network now exceeding 10,000km (6,213 miles), as the country accelerates efforts to explore offshore resources to meet its energy-security needs. The milestone was achieved as the final section of a deep-sea pipeline was installed on Sunday in northern China’s Bohai Bay, according to state broadcaster CCTV. As one of China’s largest offshore oil-production bases, Bohai Bay now hosts the country’s densest subsea pipeline network, with more than 3,200km (1,988 miles) of underwater oil and gas pipelines, the report said.    Full report:   https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3327436/china-surpasses-10000km-subsea-pipelines-boosting-offshore-energy-network

A roving reporter who covered Italy’s top politicians explains to The Grayzone how his country was reduced to a joint US-Israeli “aircraft carrier,” and raises troubling questions about an Israeli role in the killing of Prime Minister Aldo Moro.   by Kit Klarenberg and Wyatt Reed   Part 4 - ‘Mossad decided to transfer the Middle Eastern conflict to Italy’   Argo 16 was not the only fatal incident to take place during Italy’s Years of Lead which seemed to bear the Mossad’s fingerprints. When a hand grenade was lobbed at Milan’s police headquarters in May 1973, killing four civilians and injuring 45, the culprit presented himself as an anarchist following his immediate apprehension. However, subsequent investigations revealed the perpetrator, Gianfranco Bertoli, to be a longtime Italian military intelligence informant, as well as a member of numerous neofascist organizations, including the Gladio-linked Ordine Nuovo (New Order). Bertoli had spent the two years leading up to...

The Jimmy Dore Show   In yet another another example of U.S. imperialism and interventionism, the Trump administration has reportedly authorized covert CIA operations in Venezuela aimed at removing President Nicolás Maduro from power. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how this action reflects a long pattern of U.S.-backed regime changes in Latin America, motivated by control of natural resources rather than democracy or humanitarian concerns. They also contrast DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s past opposition to regime change wars with her current alignment with the Trump administration, questioning whether she still holds those anti-interventionist views. The segment concludes with the two expressing frustration over U.S. foreign policy continuity across administrations and the lack of accountability in American democracy.

Citing an influx of Venezuelan drugs into the U.S., the Trump administration is rapidly building up its military forces, encircling the South American nation, one which has been in Washington’s crosshairs for over a quarter of a century. MintPress News explores Trump’s extraordinary claims and assesses the history of U.S. efforts to overthrow the Venezuelan government.   by Alan Macleod  Part 4 - Venezuela in the Crosshairs The U.S.’s intentions for Venezuela appear even more dubious, given its quarter-century-long history of regime change attempts against the government. The election of socialist, anti-imperialist president Hugo Chávez in 1998 immediately put Venezuela on Washington’s radar, and the United States soon began preparing for a coup d’état attempt against him. Right-wing leaders were flown ba...
