“Wars Come About As a Result of Lies.” Selected Radio Shows
Selected radio programs from the Global Research News Hour
“When we understand that wars come about as a result of lies peddled to the British public and the American public and the publics all over Europe and other countries then who are the war criminals? It is not just leaders, it is not just soldiers, it is journalists; journalists are war criminals. And while one might think that that should lead us to a state of despair, that the reality that is constructed around us is constructed by liars, is constructed by people who are close to those that they are meant to be policing, it should lead us also to an optimistic understanding because if wars can be started by lies, truth can be started, peace can be started by truth.”
– Julian Assange (Oct. 8, 2011)
As Peter Phillips reminded listeners in a recent interview, we live in a world where a relatively small portion of the global population, satisfies their ambitions and appetites and maintains control at the expense of the vast majority. That minority of the opulent secure their grip on power not only through dominating the means of production, but also the propaganda and public relations apparatus relied affecting communities and whole countries.
The Centre for Research on Globalization, and the Global Research News Hour radio program have striven for years to provide an independent and alternative news source on which the public can rely to disrupt the narratives enabling violence, destitution and the ransacking of the planet.
In order to stay independent of the military-industrial-media complex, it is vital that we rely on the assistance of our audiences. Please consider taking out a recurring membership or making a donation today.

Cold War 2.0: The Russian Peace ‘Threat’ and America’s Addiction to War
With guests Dmitry Orlov and Ron Ridenour.
Given that the U.S. appears to be just as self-serving and law defying as Russia is accused of being, what is the reality behind the unrelenting anti-Russian propaganda campaign? That question is at the heart of this week’s installment of the Global Research News Hour.

Left, Right — Marching to the Beat of Imperial Canada: A Conversation with Yves Engler
In a previous book, A Propaganda System — How Government, Corporations, Media and Academia Sell War and Exploitation, Engler examined the architecture of Canada’s public relations scheme which disguises the true role of Canada internationally, describing an interlocking network of academic institutions, government departments, think tanks, and media heavyweights which have worked to conceal the true nature of Canadian power.
His latest book Left, Right — Marching to the Beat of Imperial Canada, builds on this analysis, revealing how and why prominent left wing organizations who traditionally challenge corporate power domestically, including labour organizations, and the left of centre New Democratic Party (NDP) have apparently become complicit in reinforcing this misleading portrait of Canada as ‘The Peaceable Kingdom.’
This week’s Global Research News Hour radio program devotes most of the hour to an overview of Engler’s thesis as he begins his cross-Canada book tour.

The Real Reason Behind Canada’s Arrest of China’s Huawei Executive Meng Wanzhou
With guests Professor Michel Chossudovsky, Christopher Black and Ron Unz.
Starting off the discussion, Professor Michel Chossudovsky provides more background on the Western alliance’s concerns about Huawei technology and the stakes for Canada, the US and the world. Later in the program, esteemed international criminal lawyer Christopher Black details the problems with the Canadian government’s arguments that they are acting in accord with the rule of law in the Meng Wanzhou case. Finally, Ron Unz of the Unz review, elaborates on his thesis that there is an achilles heel within the U.S. power structure that the Chinese could easily exploit that would compel the release of Meng Wanzhou from the extradition order.

Power Play: The U.S. and Canada back a Coup in Venezuela
With guests Lucas Koerner, Radhika Desai and Nino Pagliccia.
With so much at stake for the country’s population, the region and potentially the world, it is essential to get an honest picture of the events as they unfold, and the historical and geopolitical context in which they take place. Venezuela wouldn’t be the first and likely won’t be the last nation to suffer a tremendous toll from an intervention that is prettied up as a “humanitarian” mission of mercy.
On this week’s Global Research News Hour, we got hold of guests who can help fill in the blanks left by mainstream media coverage of the Venezuelan crisis, put some facts on the table, and try to project where this crisis is headed.

The War on Yugoslavia Twenty Years Later: NATO’s First ‘Humanitarian’ War
With guests Professor Michel Chossudovsky, Živadin Jovanović, James Bissett, and Scott Taylor.
The war was fought, allegedly, in the name of stopping violence by ethnic Serbs against Kosovo Albanians. The ‘Responsibility to Protect’ doctrine was invoked as a justification for launching an aggressive attack in violation of the United Nations Charter, and indeed even the NATO Charter. The result was the dissolution of Yugoslavia, and the creation of an ‘independent’ Kosovo.
The 20th anniversary of this historic event was largely drowned out by other news stories, in spite of its significance, both in terms of human lives and in terms of the precedent it said for launching future ‘humanitarian wars.’
The Global Research News Hour commemorates the last major conflict of the 20th century with a special program highlighting the less talked about aspects of the War on Yugoslavia and its aftermath with four analysts with more than a passing interest in the tragedy.

Rwandan Genocide Revisited: Impunity for War Criminals that Serve Western Interests
With guests Phil Taylor and Judi Rever.
Significantly, a body of analysis and eyewitness testimony suggests that the standard account of the Rwandan genocide, painting the Hutu majority as the principal villains and the Tutsi-dominated Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) as the saviours who ended the genocide, is a distortion of the truth. While not absolving the Hutu extremists of their crimes, an alternative interpretation holds that the RPF forces are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands themselves, including the two African presidents killed on April 6th. This is apart from the millions the RPF has had a role in killing in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the time since the genocide.
As this year’s Rwandan Week of Mourning comes to an official close, we take a look at some of the facts contradicting the official Rwanda narrative, and why it matters 25 years later.
