On January 10, 2021, four days following Trump’s attempted coup, Gerald Horne stated that “class-based reforms must be combined with a fierce crackdown on the violators of the law on January 6.” Horne discusses the historical background and the lead-up to this event with Paul Jay on theAnalysis.news.
In part 2, Joshua Landis discusses Hamas’ recent ceasefire proposal and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s planned ground incursion into Rafah. Netanyahu has rejected international calls to abandon a military onslaught on the densely populated area around the Rafah Crossing, where 1.4 million Palestinians from all over the Gaza Strip are seeking shelter in a 64-square-kilometer area. Landis contends that Bibi’s explicit repudiation of a two-state solution, as well as lack of plans to guarantee the safety of civilians before launching an invasion of Rafah, does little to assuage concerns about the continued ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
Hitler ended the German nuclear weapons program in 1942 when told it could end life on Earthāthe Americans were willing to take the risk; since the end of WWII the Cold War was to a very large extent, from beginning to end, a marketing campaign for subsidization of the aerospace industry, says Daniel Ellsberg on Reality Asserts Itself with Paul Jay. This is an episode of Reality Asserts Itself, produced October 31, 2018, with Paul Jay.
With the left’s recent electoral successes in Peru and Bolivia, and previously in Mexico and Argentina, does this mean that there is a second so-called “Pink Tide” in Latin America? If so, how do we make sense of the first Pink Tide, its successes and failures, and what might Latin America’s left have learned from the first tide, as it gets ready to take power in several countries? RenĆ© Rojas, professor at SUNY Binghamton, and Hilary Goodfriend, of Jacobin Magazine Latin America, argue that while the left needs a clearer economic plan, it is at an advantage at the moment because of the right’s disarray across the region.
This is an episode of Reality Asserts Itself, produced on December 12, 2016. On Reality Asserts Itself, Miko Peled tells Paul Jay that heās come to understand that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands began in 1948, and he broke with the liberal zionist belief in the āsecularization of the bibleā and the mission of a Jewish state; he says BDS is an effective strategy that should be supported.
The documentary series “The Reagans” shows that President Ronald Reagan’s roots are corruption, racism, and corporatism. Trumpism is not an anomaly but walks in the footsteps of a right-wing construct to achieve tax cuts for the rich and undoing the New Deal. Director Matt Tynrauer joins theAnalysis.news with Paul Jay. This interview was originally published on January 27, 2021.
The whole argument for Jan 6 being a coup is so tortured that it is almost sad. You show TrumpĀ“s speech and he says NOTHING out of the ordinary in terms of fomenting a “riot”. And what indeed happened was the mildest riot in the history of man – so mild that the powers-that-be resorted to LYING about the death of the one cop and continue to say the “deadly riot” when in fact the only people killed were the “rioters” themselves. The whole idea that such a coup would have ANY chance of succeeding in todayĀ“s America is absurd on the face of it. And BTW – referring to the 75 million Trump voters as fascists is absurd as well!
Your interview work, on the other hand, is GREAT!
I’ve never called 75 million Trump voters fascists. I have said that the section of the American oligarchy that backs Trump, and sections of other classes that support Trump, are part of a movement that is fascist in character. I’ve often said that many Trump voters previously voted for Obama, and are not fascist or even essentially racist. I’ve also said many times that the events of Jan 6 were not the main event of the coup attempt, it was in the process leading up to Jan 6 that was more serious. That said, what I’ve done is based on quotes from mainstream sources, I haven’t claimed to complete a firsthand verified investigation. What I know as a fact is many mainstream sources thought a coup was in progress prior to Jan 6, from the Financial Times to the American Association of Manufacturers – an outfit that was pro-Trump for four years.
Thank you for this. Loved it! Please send me parts 2, 3, 4 of Ford on Reality Asserts. It seems Google is putting you back but picking and choosing your stories. Love what you’re doing. Just keep it up. raquel brac
