(Repeat broadcast from February 8, 2019) This week's Global Research News Hour investigates some of the post 2016 mechanisms being implemented to restrict dissident news and analysis in the name of fighting fake news and 'foreign interference' in political affairs. Whitney Webb, author of a major expose on a neocon backed 'news rating agency' called Newsguard comes in to provide background on why independent media sites should be concerned about this organization. Our next guest, Patrick Henningsen, geopolitical analyst and founder of 21st Century Wire, expands on this 'Fake News Patrol' Trojan Horse by discussing social media partnerships with less than wholesome entities like the Atlantic Council, introduces listeners to something called the Integrity Initiative headquartered in Great Britain which continues the mission of protecting democratic processes from Russian influence, and points to the hazards he sees in a Canadian government initiative proposing to protect elections from foreign (Russian) meddling.

(Repeat broadcast from December 21, 2018) This week's Global Research News Hour delves into the US extradition request of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou and the decision by Canada to detain her. First guest Professor Michel Chossudovsky believes the detention is related to a call by the Five Eyes Alliance of intelligence agencies to block Huawei from gaining ground in the international market for its 5G technology. We then speak with esteemed international criminal lawyer Christopher Black Canada's role in the detention and rationale behind the detention of Canadians in China. Finally, Ron Unz of the Unz Review elaborates on his belief that the U.S. has an achilles heel that if exploited could compel Canada to release of Ms. Meng right away.

In part two, Rick Rozoff, anti-war activist and journalist and manager of the STOP NATO list-serve shares his perspectives on the November 11 gathering of World leaders and their commemoration of the end of World War One.
