The U.S. is going through an emotional meltdown about people who might be meddling in their affairs. At the same time, we read in the NYT that U.S. officials have met several times with Venezuelan army officers that are described as "renegades" over whether or not a military coup should occur against Maduro. Yves Engler describes the activities of the "Lima Group" that plans Venezuela's destabilization via funding opposition forces and information warfare. Canada's social-democratic party, the NDP, has either remained silent or overtly supported the U.S./Canadian attempts to overthrow a social-democratic government. At the same time, who is paying attention to the soft coup in Brazil against popular president Lula? Not the NDP. Engler explains that the NDP largely follows the corporate media in determining its foreign policy. That's a reason why it no longer follows its own doctrinal policy to get out of NATO. Engler details long history of pro-militarist positions upheld by the NDP. He also discusses George Grant's role in promoting a kind of liberal Canadian nationalism that ends up supporting empire. The missionary language of "doing good" in the world always leads to buying more ships and planes in order to spread Canadian goodness throughout the world. In this way, Canada is a willing "sub-partner" in U.S. exceptionalism.

An infiltrator is outed in the Hamilton activist scene and environmental justice organisers are urged to join and expand the fight against fascists forces at home and abroad. Also some #PrisonStrike and #PrisonRadio audio.

This week's Global Research News Hour returns to the Israel-Paestine conflict. Guest Suha Jarrar, researcher with the Palestinian human rights organization Al Haq, provides an overview of the humanitarian situation in Gaza, with a special emphasis on climate change impacts and settler-colonialism. Larry Commodore, an Indigenous activist from the Soowahlie community of the Stó:lō Nation, near Vancouver, talks about the abuse he and his fellow passengers aboard a Gaza-bound Freedom Flotilla ship after it was intercepted by Israeli forces. Lawyer, journalist, and Palestine solidarity activist examines Canada's unique role in aiding and abetting Israel's violations of international law, and measures that could be taken to hold in the Middle Eastern country and Canadian officials to account.

SUMMARY: In this dispatch of 4WR, host @TheAngryindian takes another spoken-word Afro-Indigenous view of the emerging Afro-American ideological and sociopolitical conformities developing under the admittedly racialist Trump administration. What is fueling the current attitudes behind politics in Afro-America? Is it a reaction to American Fascism or is it a result of African (and Native) assimilation ; social partisanship and the modern herd-mentality prism reflecting the not-so-subtle Eurosettler dominated context of racial and misogynist denial operative within North America. EXTRAS: The usual mix of political PSAs; archived political commentary; more found news clips and powerful Protest Sounds to listen to on your way to your next political club meeting, rally or protest. All this and much more on, 4WR. The official Internet radio broadcast of the Aboriginal Press News Service

Daniel joins us from Halifax, Nova Scotia (or Mikmaw territory) and talks about the September 9, 2018 "Noise" demonstration outside the Burnside provincial prison in solidarity with the prisoners who were striking against the conditions inside and the incredible hardships their loved ones face trying to navigate the roadblocks used against them by the prison bureaucracy. As for Don and Gene, these are two men who have lived first-hand PJD's from inception to present. You don't want to miss their insightful opinions on this always important symbol of prisoner rights.

In Letter No. 13, Centinel reveals yet more Federalist tricks. He calls out the Framers’ tools who are employing the newly instituted Post Office to further hijack Anti-Federalist mailings. Centinel is astonished at this artful manipulation of smoke and mirrors. Passels of contrived correspondents, orchestrated by the nebulous Doctor Puff, are flooding the papers and journals with phony letters and missives “lauding” the new Constitution. Such subterfuge begs the question: Have we in America ever had a truly free press? Some brave printers publish part of the real story. When they do, the people are resentful and disgusted when they learn the hard truth about the new system of government. The Founders we applaud today practiced deception on a scale rarely seen in human affairs.
