The Death of the Left! | Resistance TV

Thu, 10 Aug 2023 23:00:00 +0000

Chris Williamson Talks with Steve Hall the co author of The Death of the Left this week on Resistance TV

The left is dead! Its ailments cannot be cured. The only way to resurrect what was once valuable in leftist politics is to declare the left dead and begin from the beginning again. Winlow and Hall identify the root causes of its maladies, describe how new cultural obsessions displaced core unifying principles and explore the yawning chasm that now separates the left from the working class. Drawing upon a wealth of historical evidence to structure their story of entryism, corruption, fragmentation and decline, they close the book by outlining how a new reincarnation of the left can win in the 21st century.

Scouts Expels Volunteer in witch-hunt | A Call to Chief Scout Bear Grylls | Resistance TV

Thu, 20 Jul 2023 23:00:00 +0000

Scouting Association Expels Volunteer for Advocacy Against Zionist Support | A Call to Chief Scout Bear Grylls | Resistance TV

In this thought-provoking episode of Resistance TV, we delve into the story of Pete Gregson, a dedicated volunteer with the 150th Craigalmond Scout Group, who was shockingly expelled by the Scout Association for his affiliation with the Campaign Against Bogus Antisemitism (CABA). We address the contentious issue of the Scouts' adherence to the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism, which has equated criticism of Israel to antisemitism.

Join us as we examine the case from multiple perspectives, including Pete's own Chief Scout's award from Bear Grylls, who leads the Scouting Association. We explore the call to Bear Grylls, urging him to intervene and reconsider the decision to expel volunteers who campaign against Zionist support for Israel.

Throughout the episode, we shed light on Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss of Neturei Karta's support for Pete, emphasizing that his advocacy is in no way anti-Jewish. We analyze the impact of Zionist complaints leading to Pete's suspension and subsequent expulsion, despite his ten years of selfless service and his prior avoidance of political discussions.

This episode aims to ignite a dialogue about the intersection of activism, freedom of speech, and the Scout Association's policies. Join us in questioning whether the Scouts should reconsider their approach and ensure that volunteers are not unjustly targeted for expressing their viewpoints.

Black Dog Way with Sam Pope and Steve Gower | Resistance TV

Thu, 06 Jul 2023 23:00:00 +0000

Black Dog Way with Sam Pope and Steve Gower | Resistance TV

In the winter of 2016, Steve found himself homeless aged 49, in the wake of a family tragedy. His story is like many others. 219,000 in England alone, every single year.

Steve was a victim of circumstance and a man suffering from his memories. He became trapped moving through the support system, trying and failing to navigate his way back. Experiencing the system from the inside, he saw it as fundamentally broken. After getting himself back on his feet, he vowed to ensure others wouldn’t go through the same experience. He became a homeless advocate, helping people and asking for nothing in return. In doing so, he became a voice for those in need. He remained determined in the belief that things could and should be better. Steve set out, along with many others in the city of Gloucester, to do just that.

Fiat Socialism with Carlos Garcia Hernandez | Resistance TV

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 19:38:26 +0000

MMT is a tool that can be deployed by socialist governments that issue their own currency, like the UK. Carlos Hernandez has written a compelling book that will be a crucially important guide for socialists in the 21st century. Fiat Socialism provides the perfect riposte to right-wing sceptics who always ask, "How are you going to pay for it?" when proposals for a good society are put forward. Fiat Socialism puts flesh on the bones of Tony Benn's comment, "If we can find the money to kill people, we can find the money to help people."

75 years of Nakba with Ronnie Barkan - Resistance TV

Thu, 18 May 2023 23:00:00 +0000

When Palestinians come together to commemorate the Nakba (meaning "the catastrophe") on May 15th, it goes beyond recalling a tragic historical event that occurred 75 years ago. It signifies the enduring impact of the Nakba, which resulted in the displacement of over 750,000 Palestinians from their ancestral land, the destruction of 400 villages and towns, and the loss of thousands of lives.

The commemoration also serves as a reminder that the Nakba did not end in 1948 but persists in various forms to this day. Palestinians refer to this ongoing struggle as the "ongoing Nakba," characterised by ongoing suffering, the destruction of homes, and the loss of Palestinian lives. They witness it through the continuous Israeli annexation of their land and frequent attacks on their homes in Gaza. Furthermore, they experience regular violations of their human rights, both within Israel and in the occupied territories and Gaza Strip. Joining Chris Williamson tonight is Ronnie Barkan as we delve into the ongoing Nakba and shed light on the current realities faced by Palestinians.

Local Election wins with Sam Gorst, Lucy Williams & Phil Beven - Resistance TV

Thu, 11 May 2023 23:00:00 +0000

In the recent local elections, independent candidates who had previously been part of the labor party made waves throughout the country. One noteworthy example was in Gaston, Liverpool, where Sam Gorst and Lucy Williams defeated the labor party in a stunning upset. Tonight, we're excited to have them join us on Resistance TV to discuss their experience. Despite facing underhanded tactics and smears from their opponents, they emerged victorious. Tune in to hear their firsthand account of this bruising but ultimately successful campaign.

We also have Phil Bevin joining us on tonight's show. Some of you may recognise him from his previous appearance on our channel. Phil has been hard at work conducting an in-depth analysis of the recent election results. He's been crunching the numbers to give us a better understanding of what these results mean and their significance. We're thrilled to have Phil share his insights with us, so don't miss out on this exciting discussion.

Joti Brar - Resistance TV

Thu, 04 May 2023 23:00:00 +0000

With the US-led aggressive Nato alliance accelerating its drive towards a global war, there is an urgent need to unite the world anti-imperialist movement and mobilise the masses to oppose Nato's war machinery and aggressive moves everywhere.

You can read the Platform's declaration, which set out the founding principles around which it is organising, on its website: wap21.org.

So far, it has held conferences in Paris (October 2022) and Belgrade (December 2022). After Venezuela's PSUV signed the Paris Declaration, it was decided to hold the next conference in Latin America in March. This will be followed by a conference in East Asia (south Korea) in May and one in Africa (tbc) later in the year.

The Platform's reach and activity are growing fast, and the analysis it is bringing to the antiwar movement is vitally necessary, setting out clearly the need to support all the targets of imperialist aggression, from Russia, China and the DPRK to Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Congo, Syria, Afghanistan and too many more.

THE ELBIT NINE TRIAL WITH RONNIE BARKAN | RESISTANCE TV

Thu, 13 Apr 2023 23:00:00 +0000

In May 2022, 9 activists smashed their way into Elbit’s Bristol HQ, commemorating Nakba day and disrupting Elbit for their part in the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. All of the activists were remanded to prison, with 7 held for a week while with two of them were held for over a month. Now, a year later, they return for a three-week trial and will once again say: Elbit is guilty, we are not.

More information on the action can be found in the original press release: https://www.palestineaction.org/bristol-nakba/

The Purge: a night of the long knives

Sir Keir Starmer will move a motion at tomorrow's @UKLabour NEC claiming "the Labour Party's interests and its political interests at the next general election, are not well served by Mr Corbyn running as a Labour candidate".

The left must now unite against the Labour Party!

Daniel Fooks, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) | Resistance TV

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Daniel Fooks joins Chris Williamson to discuss the dangers of CBDC's.

Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a digital form of a country's fiat currency that is issued and backed by the central bank. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, CBDCs are centralized, meaning they are controlled by the central bank and operate within the existing financial system. CBDCs can be used for payments, remittances, and other financial transactions, and may offer benefits such as increased efficiency, security, and financial inclusion. However, CBDCs also raise important questions about privacy, financial stability, and the role of central banks in the digital age.

Resistance TV | Dr Bob Gill: NHS Nurses and Ambulance Workers Strike in UK Over Pay Issues

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Joining Chris Williamson this week is Dr Bob Gill, NHS Doctor & activist

Producer, director & co-writer of @TheGreatNHSHeist

Britain faces its largest ever strike by health workers on Monday as tens of thousands of nurses and ambulance workers walk out in an escalating pay dispute which the health minister said would place further strain on the National Health Service (NHS).

Nurses and ambulance workers have been striking separately on and off since late last year but Monday's walkout involving both, largely in England, will represent the biggest in the 75-year history of the NHS.

England's top doctor, Stephen Powis, said strike action this week, which will also see physiotherapists walk out on Thursday, would most probably be the most disruptive so far.

Health workers are demanding a pay rise that reflects the worst inflation in Britain in four decades, while the government says that would be unaffordable and cause more price rises, and in turn, make interest rates and mortgage payments go up.

Mohamed Elmaazi: legality of Britain's arms trade to Saudi Arabia

Thu, 02 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The legality of British arms sales to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will once again be challenged in London’s High Court at the end of January.

According to legal submissions filed by UK-based organisation Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT), Whitehall is flouting its own export license rules by permitting British weapons to be sold to Saudi Arabia while it continues its 7-year-long bombing campaign in Yemen.

Joining Chris Williams is Mohamed Elmaazi Editor @TheInterregnum_ByLine: TheDissenter, @Intifada, @TheCanaryUK, @JacobinMag, @TheGrayzoneNews, @TheRealNews and more.

Formed in 1949 with the signing of the Washington Treaty, NATO is a security alliance of 30 countries from North America and Europe. NATO's fundamental goal is to safeguard the Allies' freedom and security by political and military means..... Apparently.

This week @chriswilliamson7183 speaks with former British Ambassador to Syria, Peter Ford, about the West’s disastrous proxy war in Ukraine, as well as the rudderless and reckless British role in exacerbating the conflict, as NATO pushes the world ever closer to a dangerous nuclear standoff between the US and Russia.

Resistance TV: Ian Hodson and Phil Bevin

Fri, 20 Jan 2023 11:00:00 +0000

The government’s Strike (Minimum Service Levels) Bill is a full-frontal attack on working people and the trade unions they organise within.

The UK is seeing record levels of strike action as ambulance workers, nurses, transport workers and teachers take a stand against the crisis in our public services.

Yet, rather than engaging with the people who keep our country running, or finding solutions to staffing shortages and waiting lists, the government is intent on punishing frontline workers when they speak out.

On this weeks Resistance TV Chris Williamson speaks to Ian Hodson and Phil Bevin about the Public Order Bill and The Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill.

Phil Bevin & Dave Roberts

Fri, 09 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Phil Bevin and Dave Roberts joins Chris Williamson to take a look at the current state of the left in politics.

There is no reason to believe that any real leadership will come from Peace and Justice. Right now it looks like an entirely captured operation. This explains why it has chosen to focus on largely anodyne green matters, like billionaire funded Just Stop Oil. Given the way things are going, with the exposure of Bernie Sanders as a democrat stooge, Novara Media's tack towards Starmerism, Counterfire's increasing Labourism and Jeremy Corbyn's inability/unwillingness to carve out his space, he is at risk of becoming irrelevant.

The split on the left is between those prioritising Labourism to the point of dumping anti-imperialism. And those able to articulate an alternative view clearly. There is an electoral battleground to pick too. Corbyn risks alienating Muslim voters as a result of siding with Zionists. Meanwhile, he won't be let back into Labour.

So what's his role, strategically speaking? A peace and Justice party Could win Islington but the people around JC wouldn't countenance working with Galloway or Williamson. Nor do they know how to run a campaign that is anything other than an online data grab.

There is so much propaganda about the role and impact of global corporate capitalism and trickle down economics, the truth is often lost in a fog of misinformation.

Chowdhury and Williamson discuss the lack of accountability for these war crimes, the militaristic culture in British politics and society that enables such crimes to be committed, and British hypocrisy with regards to Ukraine, in light of these revelations.

Mick Napier | Children sent to 'whiten up' Australia

Fri, 01 Jul 2022 08:51:39 +0000

The UK Government forcibly sent 150,000 kids abroad between 1920 and 1967 to 'whiten' Australia and Canada.

Gordon Brown made a formal apology to the British children affected, many of whom faced abuse and a regime of unpaid labour.

Brown only made the formal apology after the Australian government issued their own. He called the programme 'misguided'. It did not stop until 1967.

The vulnerable working class children were cut off from their families or even falsely informed that they were orphans.

No UK government officials were ever charged, let alone convicted, for this crime against humanity.

They have tried to negotiate with the private companies that own our rail services, including foreign governments, but it's reached the point where talks have stalled and there's no option but strike. As passengers we need to show our support for these workers. We are told lies by media who use the salaries of highly skilled drivers to mask the poverty wages paid to other staff in the rail system .

Pharmaceutical Crimes and Pandemic brainwashing

Thu, 19 May 2022 23:00:00 +0000

The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most corrupt industries in the world, with the biggest companies being fined billions of dollars for fraud. They have a long record of understating the harms of their medicines, and exaggerating their benefits. They have repeated this pattern during the covid pandemic, aided by governments who have bombarded us with propaganda to exaggerate the threat of a virus that mostly harmed people who were old, or already in poor health.

The first part of this presentation is based on a beginners' guide at medium.com/ElephantsInTheRoom

42) The crimes of the pharmaceutical industry

The second part of the presentation is based on a guide that will be published soon, entitled 'Covid: The Greatest Act of Mass Brainwashing in all of Human History?'

Poverty: How much do councils really care

As society emerged from the first COVID lockdown in Spring 2020, a window for potentially reimagining society, poverty and inequality opened up.

Cllr Mandy Clare (NW Co Ordinator for RESIST) discusses what a genuine social justice and localised approach to tackling poverty might look like and shares some recent experiences and insights from working to embed this at local council level.

Elephants in the room | How the international economic system is rigged to transfer wealth from poor to the rich.

Sun, 24 Apr 2022 08:15:00 +0000

Elephants in the room | How the international economic system is rigged to transfer wealth from poor to the rich.

Mainstream commentators and economics textbooks present free trade as a way to help poor countries. However, in the real world, we force poor countries to adopt an extreme economic system that is intended to transfer wealth from poor countries to the rich.

Elephants in the Room | US and British Human Rights Abuses

The mainstream media give the impression that other countries commit human rights abuses, and that the US and Britain do not. This is incorrect. The US has the worst human rights record in the world, and Britain participates in many of these abuses. Both countries have also supported dictatorships that commit human rights atrocities.

Fri, 25 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000

War Propaganda, Following on from the earlier presentation about exaggerated threats, this presentation is about other forms of war propaganda. This covers a wide range of strategies. At the simplest level, it involves governments and the media lying to us about events overseas, and about the motives for war. At a deeper level, it involves years of conditioning to manipulate our understanding of patriotism and militarism.

Zionism in Ukraine. With David Miller

We have all seen footage of Nazi sympathisers in torchlight procession and of the Nazi Azov Battalion (now integrated into the Ukraine armed forces), but what role does the far right play in Ukrainian nationalism? ResistanceTV will take a look at its history from the early Twentieth Century until now. We will particularly assess its activities in relation to anti-Semitism. The history of Zionism in Ukraine is also long, but how has it interacted with nationalism in Ukraine? And what is its role in the current conflict with Russia?

Elephant in the room | Exaggerated threat's

Since 1945, the US and British governments have bombarded their populations with propaganda to exaggerate threats. This includes the exaggerated threat of a communist invasion (from 1945-1989), Weapons of Mass Destruction (to justify invasions of Iraq and Syria), and terrorism (to justify the invasion of Afghanistan). Tonight's show will explain how small these threats were in reality, and look at how the media helped to exaggerate them.

Prospects for Socialism in the 21st Century

Britain has been subjected to a neoliberal consensus for over 40 years. This has left 14 million people in poverty, public services used as a cash cow for corporate fat cats and foreign policy geared to the interests of the military industrial complex. But following the defeat of the Corbyn project what are the prospects for socialism in the twenty first century?

Julian Assange, What now? with Dr Deepa Driver

Thu, 27 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has won the right to ask the Supreme Court to block his extradition to the US. The High Court ruled on Monday he had an arguable point of law that Supreme Court justices may want to consider. The ruling means Mr Assange can petition the UK's highest court for a hearing, stalling any extradition from the UK. Dr Deepa Driver joins us to discuss what now?

Why Britain should become a republic. With Steve Freeman and Chris Williamson

It’s just over 30 years since Tony Benn introduced his Commonwealth of Britain Bill in the House of Commons, which proposed wide ranging constitutional reform including the abolition of the monarchy and the introduction of a codified constitution. Following the controversy over the Queen’s decision to make Tony Blair a knight, Resistance TV is hosting a discussion with Steve Freeman about the measures contained in Tony Benn’s bill. Steve will be explaining why this matters and will put it in the context of the post-war British social monarchy and Thatcher’s neo-liberal ‘revolution’.

Is Labour really antisemitic? Reaching over the noise.

This week on Resistance TV we are talking to the producers of the documentary "Reaching Over The Noise"

When Panorama enabled and funded John Ware to create a narrative about anti semitism in Labour, a group of independent media decided to speak to real people who had been persecuted in his search for racists.

The Prole Star, Unity News, Wear Red and Dorset Eye produced the documentary "Reaching Over The Noise" on a crowdfund budget of a couple of grand.

Ronnie Barkan with guest host Natalie Strecker

Fri, 05 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Ronnie Barkan is an Israeli dissident and BDS activist.

As a serial disrupter to apartheid representatives, he recently stood trial in Berlin along with fellow activists for speaking up against representative Aliza Lavie and her direct responsibility for Israeli crimes against humanity.

Ronnie Barkan negates the patently false liberal-Zionist discourse whose sole purpose is the legitimising of apartheid and ethnic domination in the eyes of the world. Instead, he offers a narrative that challenges the very foundation of the Zionist race-state in Palestine as a supremacist endeavour which practices colonialism and apartheid since the day of its inception. Any attempt to speak of less than the 20 million stakeholders, like any attempt to focus on the occupation of 1967, are in fact attempts at legitimising the crime.

Ronnie's Barkan's statement in a Berlin court:

"The report concludes that all 12 million Palestinians are directly affected by Israeli practices of apartheid. This also includes the millions of Palestinian refugees, some of them are residents of this city and should receive the protection as persecuted people.

But why are they still refugees 70 years later?

For one and only one reason - so that I may be a privileged Israeli-Jew at their expense - they are being punished for the crime of wrong ethnicity."

Britain’s role in Chilean coup

Thu, 23 Sep 2021 23:00:00 +0000

It is well known that Britain supported General Pinochet, after he came to power in Chile in a military coup in 1973, but British covert action in Chile prior to the coup is not.

Recently declassified documents demonstrate how, between 1960 and 1973, a secretive propaganda unit within the British Foreign Office sought to prevent, and later weaken, Salvador Allende's socialist presidency.

Will McMahon - We are in a housing emergency

Thu, 16 Sep 2021 23:00:00 +0000

We are in a housing emergency, with Will McMahon

This week we are talking to Will McMahon, director of action on empty homes about their day of action on 9 October.

1) Over 100,000 families are living in Temporary Accommodation while over half a million homes have no permanent resident.

2) The wrong kind of housing is being built across the country - they are unaffordable to anyone on an average income to either rent or buy. These new builds are also being sold off-plan and ending up as Airbnb short lets, second homes or buy to leave empty wealth investments with no permanent residents.

3) Communities are being broken up as council estates that could be refurbished are being left to decline, to be replaced by yet more unaffordable new build.

4) The Climate emergency demands refurbishment, not demolition. Retrofitting 270,000 long term empty homes and council estates can help solve the climate crisis.

On October 9th there are street actions highlighting all of these issues and a national rally calling for empty homes to be used by those living in temporary and overcrowded accommodation and to meet the climate emergency.

Man Behaving Dadly Aka Simon Harris

Thu, 09 Sep 2021 23:00:00 +0000

"A hard-left, metropolitan liberal" - Nigel Farage

Man Behaving Dadly Aka Simon Harris

This week on Resistance TVChris Williamson talks with Simon Harris aka Man Behaving Dadly we talk about his fundraising and trolling of the hard right. He runs more blogs and Facebook pages than he cares to mention but Southend News Network and Man Behaving dadly are just two to note.

One of his latest fundraisers "Help Are Own First" and its description “I have started this fundraiser because at the moment too many people seem to have forgotten that WE SHOULD BE HELPING ARE OWN FIRST!! “All money will be used to help ARE OWN.” has helped raise over £32,000 up to now.

It certainly appears to be from the Ukip line of thinking. But all was not as it seemed.When visitors scrolled down a little further to the note section they discovered what the fundraiser was truly all about. “For the purposes of this appeal ‘ARE OWN’ refers explicitly to Afghan families who are currently being resettled in the United Kingdom, This is because a lot of them risked their lives to help our armed forces and government officials with translation, interpreting and other tasks during the last twenty years, and to be honest if they didn’t, the United Kingdom may have had the teeniest, tiniest, weeniest role to play in this whole s***show.”

Simon has previously trolled Farage by fundraising for the RLNI to name a hovercraft after him, following Farage's claims about the charity.

Jane McAlevey Organising, Power and Winning

Thu, 02 Sep 2021 23:00:00 +0000

This weeks Resistance TV is a little different. Chris and Sian are unavailable this week so we are re running a Resistance TV classic from our early days.

Off the back of last weeks Resistance TV Sian mentioned a personal hero of her's being Jane McAlevey. In this video Jane McAlevey talks about organising and the power of winning.

Last weeks Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDdkq0LLlDE

Jane McAlevey is an author, trade union & community organiser, who has, over 30 years, developed a tried and tested method for successful organising in the work place, electioneering and community campaigns. Now, more than ever, we need to develop our skills from activists, into effective organisers to challenge the big issues that we are facing. With looming austerity, rent arrears, job losses, food poverty, homelessness etc. Jane shows us, in this video, how we can overcome barriers to WIN!

The Elephant in the Room Ep. 7: How the media distort reality

Fri, 13 Aug 2021 19:17:34 +0000

The Elephant in the Room Ep. 7: How the media distort reality

The main purpose of the media in Britain and the US is to present information in a misleading way, to make people accept the existing economic and military systems. The ownership and control of the media by governments and big companies filters out dissenting views. It limits the range of acceptable opinion, whilst pretending to allow lively debate.

'How the media distort reality'. Is based on posts 11 and 12 of Rod Driver's blog at

Guests Amina Abdel-Khaliq is a nurse and educator, and a member of Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Mick Napier: Chair Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Join Chris Williamson this week on Resistance TV to ask, Are Tony Blair and Gordon Brown Patrons of a Criminal 'Charity'?

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are patrons of the Jewish National Fund-UK, which has funded the development of a Park on the ruins of ethnically cleansed Palestinian villages. A sign at the entrance to the park – which remains Palestinian property – reads "British Park, A gift of the Jewish National Fund of Great Britain".

The Elephant in the room EP. 6: How propaganda permeates our societies

Thu, 22 Jul 2021 23:00:00 +0000

If people hear the word propaganda, they usually think about World War 1 and 2. But propaganda is actually one of the most powerful forces in 21st Century Britain. We are bombarded with it every day, and it affects the way we think about most important issues. In particular, it is intended to make us uncritical of the economic, financial, corporate, political and military systems.

This weeks episode is based on these two blogs by Rod:

The Elephant in the room ep.5 | Crimes of the Financial System

Thu, 08 Jul 2021 23:00:00 +0000

Crimes of the Financial System | The Elephant in the room ep.5

Following the financial crisis that began in 2007, it became clear that banks were engaged in a huge range of criminal and unethical activities – mis-selling, rigging markets, money laundering, tax evasion, sub-prime mortgages, ripping off customers, and fraud on a massive scale. These crimes have not gone away, and the activities of the banks are as fraudulent as ever. The financial system is a clear example of an industry that is rotten to the core, and is no longer fit for purpose.

Carlos García Hernández - Fiat Socialism and Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)

Thu, 01 Jul 2021 23:00:00 +0000

MMT: Fiat Socialism for the 21st Century

with Carlos García Hernández

‘Fiat socialism’ would enable an open and prosperous society governed by the principles of modern monetary theory (MMT). A society without unemployment or poverty, in which everybody had a decent job (either in the private sector, or in the public sector) allowing people to fulfil all their basic needs and coordinate their working and private life because of reasonable time schedules. A society in where public services, education and health access were of the highest quality, and in which the level of prices remain stable. This isn't just a socialist pipedream. By using MMT as a lens to understand the monetary system, it's a realistic possibility, but it requires the political will to jettison neoliberalism.

Elephant in the Room Ep.4 | The Illusion of Democracy | How the rich and powerful manipulate politics

Thu, 24 Jun 2021 23:00:00 +0000

The Illusion of Democracy

Most people in Britain and the US believe that they live in a democracy. However, it is now so easy for rich and powerful people to manipulate politics that ordinary people have little influence over political decisions. On the most important issues, such as war or corporate power, there is little difference between the two major parties. Much decision-making takes place behind-the-scenes. Power is too centralised, there is too much secrecy and almost no accountability.

The Elephant In The Room EP.3: Corporate Crime

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 23:00:00 +0000

How governments and the media help corporations get away with their crimes

The mainstream media give the impression that corporate crime is rare. In fact, we are surrounded by big companies committing crime on a daily basis. We have created a system that gives rich rewards to companies, executives and shareholders when companies commit serious crimes. Mostly, they are never caught or prosecuted. If an individual commits a crime, they can be locked up for many years. When a company is caught committing the same crimes, the usual penalty is a fine.

One of the most deceptive myths of modern times is that rich people earn their wealth, and that they are good for society. Neither of these is true. This presentation explains how the economy is rigged to put more wealth into the pockets of the rich, often without them having to do anything at all. It also shows that the presence of very wealthy people actually harms the rest of us.

Richard famously spoke the truth to the Israeli ambassador in committee at the Irish Parliament.

Max is the son of Sidney Blumenthal, former aide to President Bill Clinton, he started Grayzone in 2019 to talk more openly about the situation in the middle East.

Natalie Strecker - Israeli Apartheid

Thu, 06 May 2021 23:00:00 +0000

Natalie Strecker, Israeli Apartheid | Resistance TV

Natalie is a Human Rights activist and campaigner based in the Channel Islands.

Natalie served as a Human Rights Monitor in Hebron, Palestine in 2018 during the period the infamous Golani Brigade were stationed in the Palestinian city.

https://www.quaker.org.uk/our-work/international-work/eappi

Following the Labour witchhunt, which targeted a number of leftwing antiracists, including Jews, Natalie referred herself to Labour's Compliance Unit in an attempt to expose the witchhunt for what it is, an action which was soon after supported by Israeli academic, Haim Bresheeth.

https://mondoweiss.net/2020/02/why-i-referred-myself-to-the-labour-partys-compliance-unit-for-antisemitism/

Natalie has since left the Labour Party and believes the fight to save our communities and planet resides in grassroots movements.

Natalie is currently fundraising for a theatre production, by Israeli playwright & activist Einat Weizman, which will see a series of plays that will put the Israeli Military Court on trial, with the first focusing on the case of her good friend, Issa Amro, who is a Hebron based award winning and UN formally recognised Human Rights Defender.

Extinction Rebellion - The Shell 7

Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:00:00 +0000

Resistance TV | Extinction Rebellion "The Shell 7"

The XR activists who took on oil giant Shell – and won

Six Extinction Rebellion activists were acquitted in a landmark verdict at Southwark Crown Court on the 24/4/21

The jury delivered its not guilty verdict for each defendant, despite Judge Perrins ruling that five of the six had no defence under the law.

The trial, for criminal damage to the Shell HQ building in London’s Waterloo in April 2019, which could have led to a maximum five year prison sentence and / or a £10k fine each, is XR’s second only case to be heard before a jury.

The verdict is being hailed as a major victory for climate campaigners everywhere facing increasing criminalisation. Simon Bramwell, 49, cofounder of Extinction Rebellion, said: “It is a significant victory for the truth of these times, when despite the letter of the law, jurors can clearly see that a broken window is a just response to a breaking world.”

“How fitting that this comes after Earth Day and the two year anniversary of the death of environmental lawyer Polly Higgins, founder of the Stop Ecocide campaign, to whom we dedicated our non violent direct action against Shell. With today’s verdict, it is clear who the real climate criminals are in the climate and ecological emergency.
