Alternate Current Radio Presents: SUNDAY WIRE
This week the SUNDAY WIRE broadcasts LIVE on ACR as Patrick Henningsen is joined by co-host Mike Robinson from the UK Column to discuss all of the top stories from the US, Europe, the Middle East and globally. This week we discuss the recent jailing of whistleblower Chelsea Manning for refusing to turn on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and what this means to the free press going forward, and also we look at the electrical blackout in Venezuela, the geopolitical implications of last week's botched OPCW Report on the alleged 'Chemical Attack' in Douma, Syria in 2018. In the second hour we'll be joined by guest Teodrose Fikre, editor of the Ghion Journal to discuss the current battle being waged by the US political system against Congresswomen Ilhan Omar over the issue of "antisemitism" and how the political establishment and its Zionist elements are attempting to conflate this term with criticism of Zionism or the policies of Israel - and why this might have grave implications for basic American principles of free speech and political expression. In the final hour, we’ll take a spin around Basil’s Magic Roundabout, with the Sunday Wire's roving correspondent for Culture & Sport, Basil Valentine, to see who’s on and who’s off this week - and all the latest political intrigue in Britain and Europe. All this and much more. Enjoy the show…
