This week, on the Global Research News Hour, with Pat King apparently the latest figure making news around the Truckers in Ottawa almost 3 years ago this coming January, we take a look at what objective evidence reveals in retrospect about the freedom convoy. We start off with Rodney Palmer, the award winning former CBC and CTV journalist who stated based on his own experience in Ottawa during the Convoy Occupation that the media was outright using propaganda to convince us that our country was under attack. And in our second half hour, author Ray McGinnis reports on the Convoy based on what was actually presented at the Public Order Emergency Commission, and arrives at difficult conclusions regarding the way our government and our media behaved during the peak of the COVID-19 crisis.

Spanish songs sung and played on guitar is something I have enjoyed beginning when I lived in Peru in the mid 1960′s. I often have the pleasure of listening to and talking with Marcos Pereda, a person who can do just that. Marcos was born in Cuba and made his home there until the end of the last century when he moved with his American wife to the United States and soon thereafter to Mendocino County where he has settled, and can often be found playing his guitar and singing the soft sounds of his songs. Marcos Pereda joined Radio Curious at our studio in Ukiah on the 24th November 2008. The book Marcos Pereda recommends is “The Course of Miracles” by Dr. Helen Schucman.

It seems fitting this week, as millions of Americans sit down to an enormous feast, that we discuss the topic of over-indulgence — and we are not just talking about turkey and pie. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Canadian environmental journalist Lloyd Alter about sufficiency. We discuss the need to develop sufficiency measures in the sustainability space, talk about examples of sufficiency from the corporate world, and look at Paul Brannen’s recent book “Timber!” which makes the case that wood is a more sustainable building material as compared to mined or manufactured compounds.

This talk caused a controversy in the media when it was first aired on the 30th anniversary of the JFK assassination. Parenti saw not just the violent death of an individual but said: “If the truth were known it would call into question the entire state system and the social order it represents”. And that troubling implication is probably the reason why the mainstream press has suppressed the work of those who researched the circumstances of Kennedy’s death. In his investigation Parenti focused on the troubling contradictions In Lee Harvey Oswald’s life to add to the proof that Oswald was at best a “patsy”. Michael Parenti, since retired, was one of the nations leading progressive political analysts. He has taught at colleges and universities in the US and abroad. With roots in a working class Italian district in New York City and a PhD in political science from Yale, Parenti was an internationally known lecturer and author. An extended text of this talk can be found in Parenti’s book: Dirty Truths, published by City Lights in 1996. DATE: 11/22/1993
