Dave Emory
Interviews Lucy Kommisar about Navalny (episode 1299)
https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr1299-interview-with-lucy-komisar-about-navalny/
Supported by characteristically selective coverage by Western journalistic and political elements, Alexei
Navalny has demonstrated proto-fascistic tendencies and is more of a propaganda phenomenon than a
real political leader.
In this program, we present Lucy’s analysis of the Navalny documentary, including her thoughts
concerning possible intelligence connections to the documentary’s production and a quasi-McCarthyite
response to her probing questions.
1 AM
Building Bridges
Mimi Rosenberg and Ken Nash from sister stations WBAI and WPFW
They report on Fran Dressler on the SAG-AFTRA walkout and interviews Hamilton Nolan on the WGA
Strike and the first simultaneous writers and actors strike since the 1960s, and then writer and historian
Steve Frazer joins them for a discussion that pivots to a look at developments on the return of child
labor in a big way in the US, with particularly immigrant youth working under dangerous and sometimes
deadly conditions.

Covert Action Bulletin
A recent Washington Post article titled “A North Korean defector captivated U.S. media. Some question
her story” highlights the many appearances Yeonmi Park has made on right-wing news outlets over the
past few years. Scholars and solidarity activists have been pointing out the serious holes in Park’s stories
since she started getting attention. But even the Post has pushed her propaganda, running an op-ed by
her in 2014 that they admit was co-written with a fellow at the Koch-founded right-wing Atlas Network,
calling for a capitalist counterrevolution in the country. Park is part of a long tradition of outright U.S.
lies about North Korea, which it is still at war with.
To get deeper into the history, hosts Rachel Hu and Chris Garaffa are joined by Derek Ford. He’s an
author, visiting professor at Korea University in Tokyo, and organizer with the Global Peace forum on
Korea. He also led the last delegation of U.S. citizens to the DPRK before the travel ban.
Rachel Hu is a journalist with “BreakThrough News,” a new independent media project, where she hosts
the podcast “It’s Not You, It’s Capitalism.” She is also a host on WBAI 99.5FM in NYC and has been an
anti-war and anti-racist activist with the ANSWER Coalition for the last decade. Rachel can be reached
at: rachel@wbai.org.
Chris Garaffa has been an anti-imperialist and social justice organizer since joining the movement
against the Iraq war in 2003. Chris is a weekly guest on Sputnik Radio’s “By Any Means Necessary,” and
co-hosts the podcast “The Reboot,” focusing on the intersection between technology and human rights.
