[Peace] AOTA & NFN recommended videos

[J.B. Nicholson]

Videos I'll recommend for airing during AOTA & NFN. I highly recommend watching them 
all, even the ones UPTV doesn't end up running.



Greyzone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG17cgS2-sU -- (30m 29s) Aaron Mate interviews Afshin 
Rattansi (host of RT's "Going Underground") on the UK government report which claims 
Russian interference in UK elections but does not back the claims with evidence. The 
committee putting this report together are a series of known neocons, western 
government propagandists, and liars (including Christopher Steele, author of the 
widely-debunked Russiagate report). The highest levels of establishment media repeat 
the baseless allegations and the allegations have considerable consequences for war 
profiteers and calls for censorship of social media & UK broadcast networks that 
don't fall in line such as RT, as Rattansi points out.

This is more of the journalism that won Mate an Izzy award. Russiagate allegations 
continue from establishment media (which certainly includes Democracy Now since that 
show went from challenging this kind of narrative to being another member of the echo 
chamber).




RT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctaUPbLhW38 -- (3m 7s) Caleb Maupin's RT report on 
the coming end of eviction moratorium from federally-backed rental units, the related 
job loss figures (and trend upward again), and a quote from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) 
trying to lay the blame on Senate Republicans for policy we need but aren't getting.

What's missing from this report is any mention of any of the following:

- a national jobs program,
- Medicare for All (including no mention of the 2 extant bills which could be brought 
to the floors of the House & Senate and voted into law if there were the political 
will to do this),
- a Universal Basic Income,
- the trillions recently added to the economy (most of which went to the already 
wealthy),
- and that there is bipartisan agreement that we ought not have policy which benefits 
the poor.



Jimmy Dore

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzkRP7FySUY -- (37m 22s) The myth of two parties, the 
baseless racism argument against Pres. Trump only works if we ignore continuing 
bombing people around the world, and the lack of Medicare for All & a Universal Basic 
Income. Dore interviews Nick Brana, who coordinated a series of protests at 
Congresspeople's houses demanding a stimulus consisting of a UBI, rent relief, and 
mortgage relief and received no establishment media coverage. According to Brana no 
establishment media covered this.



Glenn Greenwald

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgxK9w5DSvQ -- (1h 52m) Greenwald examines the 
Bolivian coup which installed a neocon and neolib government. You won't find coverage 
of the Bolivian coup in many places, certainly not a lot of coverage in the 
establishment media.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXDPPkuRimQ -- (40m 28s) Greenwald on how "elites are 
distorting the 'cancel culture' crisis". Some criticism of the recent Harper's letter 
here too.
