how us foreign policy created the crisis springmann s insider knowledge of us policy permeates this insightful sometimes terrifying look at a world where migrants become weapons nationalism is condemned and civil liberties hang in the balance as the world watches the destruction of syria and the flood of refugees into europe few bother to ask some important questions who benefits who

fundraising event in august we have signed copies his new book doing time like a spy available for a pledge of 120 his book is a memoir of his twenty three months in prison using twenty life skills he learned in cia operational training he was able to keep himself safe and at the top of the prison social heap including his award winning blog series letters from loretto doing time like a spy is at once a searing journal of daily prison life and an alternately funny and heartbreaking commentary on the federal prison system more about this week s guest john kiriakou became an anti torture whistleblower and activist when he told abc news in december 2007 that the cia was torturing prisoners that torture was official u s government policy and that the policy was approved by the president john was driven to ruin by the justice department because of these revelations immediately after john s interview the justice department initiated a years long investigation determined to find something anything to charge him with this was his payback for blowing the whistle on the torture program john eventually was charged with three counts of espionage one count of violating the intelligence identities protection act and one count of making a false statement as a result of the 2007 abc news interview finally in order to avoid the risk of spending 45 years in prison john accepted a plea to violating the intelligence identities protection act all other charges were dropped even though he had no criminal intent and there was no harm to the national security accepting the plea resulted in a sentence of 30 months in prison from 1990 until march 2004 first as an analyst and later as a counterterrorism operations officer john kiriakou served in the central intelligence agency he became chief of counterterrorist operations in pakistan following the september 11 attacks acting as a senior operations officer his tour culminated in the march 2002 with the

to replace attorney general jeff sessions moore is no stranger to controversy among other things he has said that homosexuality should be illegal muslims to not be allowed in congress and 9 11 was god s punishment for americans sins we talk with frederick clarkson about the significance of moore s victory the spanish government violently responded to an independence referendum in catalonia hundreds were injured or unable to vote the result despite or because of the low turnout was about 90 percent in favor of independence sebastiaan faber explains how and why this happened more about this week s guests frederick clarkson is senior fellow at political research associates a progressive think tank in somerville massachusetts he is also the author of the 2016 report when exemption is the rule the religious freedom strategy of the christian right and wrote the book eternal hostility the struggle between theocracy and democracy you can also read some of his recent work here quote roy moore is the most openly theocratic politician in national life and he has a good chance of being the next u s senator from alabama the special election to fill the remainder of the term of jeff sessions who was appointed as u s attorney general by president trump will be held on dec 12 moore is heavily favored to prevail over democrat and former federal prosecutor doug jones moore favors criminalizing abortion and homosexuality he does not respect the authority of the u s supreme court to interpret the constitution and the federal courts to enforce civil rights laws his views hark back to the time of massive resistance to civil rights for african americans when opponents invoked the notions of nullification and interposition which basically meant that states could ignore federal actions including court orders they believed were inconsistent with the constitution like the nullificationists of the last century moore does not view the rulings of the u s supreme court and the federal courts as binding on the states particularly if they conflict with his idiosyncratic view of what god requires roy moore epitomizes the contemporary politics of theocratic christian dominionism in his attacks on separation of church and state and religious freedom moore was twice elected on a statewide ballot as chief justice of the alabama supreme court he has also been removed from office each time because he violated orders from a federal judge the first time he had installed a two and a half ton monument to the ten commandments in the foyer of the state courthouse a federal judge ruled that this was an unambiguous violation of separation of church and state and ordered it removed moore refused the second time he sought to undermine a federal court order to state officials to honor the supreme court s 2015 stand for marriage equality in the case of obergefell v hodges moore sought to direct state probate judges not to issue same sex marriage licenses claiming that existing state bans on same sex marriage were still in force sebastiaan faber is a professor of hispanic studies at oberlin college and author of several books including alcalá de henares instituto franklin de estudios norteamericanos anglo american hispanists and the spanish civil war hispanophilia commitment and discipline exile and cultural hegemony spanish intellectuals in mexico 1939 1975 and the forthcoming memory battles and the spanish civil war he just co wrote have spain and catalonia reached a point of no return for the nation quote while the repressive measures taken so far have

was among several harvard graduates who presented a petition in cambridge at the office of the kennedy school s dean douglas elmendorf the kennedy school s institute of politics cancelled the invitation to manning after intense pressure from top cia officials the cancellation came shortly after the acting director of the institute bill delahunt had publicly declared we welcome the breadth of thought provoking viewpoints on race gender politics and the media the rootsaction petition presented on friday says by revoking chelsea manning s fellowship you have disgraced the harvard kennedy school by caving in to pressure from present and former top officials of the cia you have jettisoned academic freedom by deciding that it is appropriate for sean spicer but not chelsea manning to retain a fellowship you have failed to fulfill harvard s responsibility to be independent of government power and coercion during his stint at the trump white house mr spicer earned a reputation for lying as a whistleblower ms manning earned a reputation for truth telling it is a sad day when a record of facile mendacity is more revered at harvard than a record of revealing difficult truths before joining first look jon schwarz worked for michael moore s dog eat dog films and was research producer for moore s capitalism a love story he s contributed to many publications including the new
