When World War II ended 80 years ago, the fighting ended but global stability and peace did not emerge. Instead, a "Cold War" between the forces of capitalism and communism, represented by the U.S. and Soviet Union, dominated global politics and led to instability, interventions, wars, a militarized economy, a mass-surveillance National Security State, and so much more---and its legacy continued to this day as we look at Venezuela, Palestine, Iran, and other places across the globe.The U.S. posed the Cold War as a battle between "freedom" and Soviet domination, but that was always a ruse as the Americans held overwhelming dominance in all major military and economic matters. The U.S. had emerged from the war with global hegemony while the USSR had lose about 25 million people, a million farms and factories, and half its economy.So, 80 years later, it's important to examine and understand the role of the U.S. in using its power to create global dominance, disrupt 3rd World development, and destabilize countries across the globe. ----------------------------------🎸 Outro- Green and Red Blues by Moody🔗 Links🌐 G&R: Dick Cheney, The Original Trump . . .

It's the 60th anniversary of the failed coup in Indonesia, the rise of the dictator Suharto and the removal of popular leader Sukarno.

The Democratic Party won big on Tuesday but what does it mean?

They're still running away from Zohran Mandani while promoting "centrists" like Navy Vet Mikie Sherrill and CIA operative Abigail Spanberger. Meanwhile, there's conflict within the Republican Party brewing with Marjorie Taylor Greene possibly seeing cracks in Trump's armor and calling him out on Israel, health care, the Epstein Files, and even aid to Argentina, while the establishment GOP is just shocked, shocked that Tucker Carlson platformed Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes. Amid the condemnations no one is reminding Americans that Fuentes was Trump's guest at Mar-a-Largo.In the end, the Democrats remain the Washington Generals of Politics.

Arch-war criminal and former Vice-President Dick Cheney has died. A consummate DC insider who was White House Chief-of-Staff, Defense Secretary, CEO of Halliburton, and Vice President, he shaped and reshaped the GOP and the conservative movement. Responsible for the Global War on Terror and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, he promoted the invasion of Iraq based on blatant lies. Brown University estimated over 4.5 million people died in the post-9/11 forever wars.

He also changed government policy on "enhanced interrogation" (i.e. torture) and mass surveillance. And despite his redemption by liberals in recent years because of his opposition to Donald Trump, his politics and polities paved the way for Trump.

In this episode, we discuss Dick Cheney, Trump and fanboy liberals redeeming Cheney.

Today, we don't mourn Dick Cheney, only his victims.
