Those of us who use the internet are subject to the words and wisdom, or lack thereof, provided by the people and or machines that upload ideas and content. The democratization of the internet, allowing anyone to post anything is, in the mind of Andrew Keen, our guest of this edition of Radio Curious, creating a “cut-and-paste” on-line culture which threatens copyright protection and intellectual property rights at the expense of those who create original work. Andrew Keen is the author of “The Cult Of The Amateur: How Today’s Internet is Killing Our Culture.” When I spoke with him from his home in Berkeley, in early June 2007 we began with his explanation of the democratization of the internet.
The song, film and book recommended by Andrew Keen are the U2 song “Vertigo,” the movie “Vertigo,” by Alfred Hitchcock, and the book “Vertigo,” by W.G. Sebald.

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, first broadcasting on the Ides of March, we are viewing the prospect of war, possibly the ultimate nuclear war, erupting in the wake of current affairs happening in the battle field and in our own movie-going culture. In our first half hour, writer and documentary film Maker Greg Mitchell returns to the show to talk about the ways in which the anti war anti-nuclear movement is betrayed in Chris Nolan’s Oscar Award winning film and how Hollywood itself is a producer of pro-war propaganda. Then in our second half hour, we talk to journalist, and geopolitical and military analyst Drago Bosnic about the slow motion victory by Russia in Ukraine and how NATO’s determination to prevail may force us to endure the reality of what Oppenheimer warned us about decades ago.

To understand Canadian history, particularly the rapid economic and population expansion following Confederation one should read The Honourable John Norquay, the story of the 1st elected Metis Premier of Manitoba(1878-87). Author/historian Gerald Friesen outlines the issues that brought Norquay to power and the challenges, largely from Ottawa, that drove him from office. Much is clarified: the role of the Anglican and Catholic churches, language struggles, indigenous tensions, Orangemen, and the mendacity of the railroad barons are covered in the book and this interview.
Ramadan Mubarak. Gaza has to be 1st on our minds as the bombing of civilians continues and resupply of bombs to Israel by Washington continues and leaders lie about "humanitarian aid". And then there is Haiti, where the same criminal game directed by the US is played out. They have in common America's insistence that they own the aid process and they own the peace process: alll the bloody roads must go through Washington, which is the "indispensable" power. This doctrine drags us all in the direction of armageddon. Canada's lightweight leaders relish their role as vassals to American Exceptionalism.

Glenn Greenwald is an American journalist, author, and former lawyer. He became a vocal critic of the Iraq War and American foreign policy. In 2014, he cofounded The Intercept and was the editor until he resigned in October 2020. Greenwald now is self-publishing on Substack.
The Hill is a source for policy and political news. Glenn Greenwald was interviewed on their news commentary show, "Rising".
Five days after the Greenwald interview the former CIA analyst Ray McGovern speculated that political differences between Nuland and Biden administration officials may have led to her surprise ouster.
Ray McGovern served as a CIA analyst for 27 years, from the administration of John F. Kennedy to that of George H. W. Bush. His duties included chairing National Intelligence Estimates and preparing the President’s Daily Brief. In early March 2024 Ray McGovern is warning that intelligence might be falsified today to “justify” war on Russia.
Here are excerpts from a one hour interview entitled: Nuland's Game is Up as Russia Smashed Ukraine's Army, recorded by Nima R. Alkhorshid on the channel “Dialogue Works”.
In this episode, Dan and Amber discuss the assassination of Julius Caesar. They explore Caesar's rise to power, his military achievements, and the civil war that led to his dictatorship. They also delve into the conspiracy against Caesar and the planning of his assassination. The segment concludes with the intriguing story of a soothsayer's warning about the Ides of March. In Science news, they talk about the impact of lead on IQ, 3D printing human skin, and the role of artificial intelligence in math. Two people attempted a weekend at bernies with their dead roommate, Amber turns the tables and challenges Dan to Fact Checkin’ Time, and the show ends with a feel good story about decreasing crime rates.
What comes to mind when you hear the words “crime” and “safety?” For many, these words evoke images of poor people stealing things, or police enforcing laws to suppress street crime. Our guest today on Sea Change Radio argues that there’s a whole set of crimes that have been intentionally omitted from the messaging we get and that, for many, “police” and “safety” are far from synonymous. This week we speak with Alec Karakatsanis, the founder and executive director of Civil Rights Corps. A former public defender and the author of “Usual Cruelty: The Complicity of Lawyers in the Criminal Injustice System,” Karakatsanis believes that much of our country’s perspective on crime and policing has been shaped by “copaganda,” the swaying of public opinion for the benefit of law enforcement. We look at the corrosive societal effects of historic and current police practices, examine how and why these wrongheaded approaches persist, and discuss the complicity of journalists and policymakers who fall for and then perpetuate the American mythology of crime and safety.
