Remembrance Day Special. The New Framing of Wars Abroad

Remembrance Day Special. The New Framing of Wars Abroad

Author: Alternate Current Radio November 9, 2023 Duration: 59:01
This week on the Global Research News Hour, on the eve of Remembrance Day, we are turning our attention to the realities of foreign policy that seems to go very much against the sentiment of NEVER AGAIN, harnessing more, not less, military conflicts abroad. In our first half hour, Glenn Diesen discusses his book THE THINK TANK RACKET Managing the Information War Against Russia, which dives into how foreign policy is increasingly set not by the public, but by experts influenced to a large extent by elements by the military industrial complex. Then in our second half hour, Global Research News Hour contributor Paul Graham talks to Owen Schalk about his recent work Canada in Afghanistan: A story of Military, diplomatic, political and media failure 2003-2023. on the forces shaping Canada’s 20 year efforts in the ongoing Afghan tragedy.

Tune in to Global Research News Hour, a weekly program from the team at Alternate Current Radio that brings the work of the Centre for Research on Globalization directly to your ears. Based in Montreal, the CRG operates as an independent, non-profit research and media organization, and this audio extension of their mission digs into the stories and analyses that often exist outside mainstream headlines. Each episode functions as a deep-dive conversation, drawing from the Centre's extensive network of researchers, authors, and activists involved in publishing, humanitarian projects, and public education. You'll hear detailed discussions on the pressing societal and cultural issues shaping our world, from geopolitics and economics to environmental crises and social movements. The tone is substantive and inquisitive, prioritizing context and evidence over sound bites. This isn't just a summary of the news; it's a critical examination of the forces behind it, offering listeners a more nuanced understanding of global events. Produced by Alternate Current Radio, this podcast serves as an essential audio companion for anyone looking to move beyond superficial reporting and engage with the complex realities of our interconnected world.
