Jimmy Dore: 本期节目讨论了美国如何通过制造危机来发动战争，例如袭击缅因号、珍珠港事件和东京湾事件。Patrick Clawson的演讲揭示了美国政府长期以来利用危机来实现其地缘政治目标的策略。此外，节目还讨论了左翼媒体在战争宣传中的作用，以及Uhuru运动成员被指控为俄罗斯代理人的案件。 Patrick Clawson: Clawson认为，危机启动虽然困难，但却是美国发动战争的传统方式，并以罗斯福、威尔逊、约翰逊和林肯总统为例进行了说明。他暗示，如果与伊朗无法达成妥协，那么最好是由其他人先发动战争。 General Wesley Clark: 克拉克将军指出，美国军方被一小撮人操纵，其目的在于发动战争而非结束战争。他揭露了美国政府长期以来在中东地区推翻政权的计划，以及这一计划是如何在没有公众知情和辩论的情况下实施的。 Cenk Uygur: Cenk Uygur作为左翼媒体代表，他的言论体现了对美国发动战争的盲目支持，这与节目中其他嘉宾的观点形成鲜明对比。他支持对叙利亚等国的军事打击，并认为这是为了帮助当地人民，这与事实严重不符。 Ben Mankiewicz: Mankiewicz也支持对叙利亚的军事打击，这表明左翼媒体内部也存在对战争的立场分歧。 Omali Yeshitela: Yeshitela认为，对Uhuru运动的指控是出于政治动机，旨在压制对其政治观点的批评。他指出，该运动长期以来一直致力于争取非洲人民的自决权，并且其活动完全属于言论自由的范畴。他认为，对该运动的指控是美国政府试图转移国内矛盾，并压制对政府政策的批评。

Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why does Patrick Clawson advocate for crisis initiation to start wars?

Clawson believes that creating crises is a traditional and effective way for the U.S. to justify going to war, particularly with Iran. He suggests that historical events like Pearl Harbor and the Gulf of Tonkin incident were used to initiate conflicts that served U.S. interests.

What is the purpose of the U.S. military according to General Wesley Clark?

Clark revealed that the U.S. military's purpose is to start wars and overthrow governments in the Middle East, not to deter conflict. He mentioned that the U.S. aimed to destabilize regimes in countries like Syria, Iran, and Iraq to maintain control over the region.

Why was the Uhuru Movement targeted by the FBI?

The FBI targeted the Uhuru Movement, a black socialist group, under the guise of Russiagate hysteria. They were charged with conspiring to act as Russian agents for their political activities, which included organizing protests and publishing pro-Russian content. The judge later ruled that their actions amounted to free speech.

What does the Uhuru Movement oppose regarding welfare?

The Uhuru Movement opposes what they call 'welfare slavery,' which they describe as an institutionalized system that cripples communities by breaking up families and destroying local businesses. They advocate for self-determination and economic independence for African communities.

How did the killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson impact health insurance policies?

After the CEO's murder, Blue Cross Blue Shield reversed its decision to limit anesthesia coverage during surgical procedures. The company had previously announced it would not cover the full duration of anesthesia, but changed its policy following the high-profile killing.

What does Chairman Omali Yeshitela say about the U.S. government's response to their movement?

Yeshitela argues that the U.S. government is using the Uhuru Movement as a scapegoat to distract from internal and international crises. He claims the charges against them are politically motivated and an assault on free speech, designed to silence their critique of the Democratic Party and their advocacy for self-determination.
