First interviewJen Marlowe

Jen Marlowe, author of The Hour of Sunlight: One Palestinian’s Journey from Prisoner to Peacemaker, discusses the mainstream media’s blackout of the “secret” revolution in Bahrain; the international human rights activists participating in the Witness Bahrain initiative; how Bahrain’s majority Shia population is battling for equal rights against a despotic monarchy – not engaging in sectarian warfare against the Sunni minority; why Jihan Kazerooni gave up her investment banking career for political activism; and why the Obama administration – though it has considerable leverage – refuses to advocate for democratic reform in Bahrain.

Second interview Ray McGovern

Retired CIA analyst Ray McGovern discusses the still-disputed question “why do they hate us;” how post-WWII US foreign policy is geared toward maintaining wealth and resource disparity; why a global military empire just doesn’t make economic sense; the US’s diminishing control of the Middle East; the military’s claim that Guantanamo prisoner suicides are “asymmetrical warfare;” Hillary Clinton’s mastery of doublethink (recall her “Freedom Speech” during which Ray McGovern is dragged out by goons for turning his back on her in silent protest); the common grievances of suicide terrorists; and the Biblical case for a Jewish “promised land.” (Duration: 35:29 — 8.1MB)
