(The website offers many links to content from Moon of Alabama about “astro-turfing” – fake “grassroots” activity sponsored and produced by state agents.)
Introduction: Updating the Ukraine war, this program highlights a number of considerations: The phenomenon of “Astroturfing” to generate increased support for the war; the casting of a Belarus veteran of the Nazi Azov formations as a political martyr; the western regime-change institutions’ support for such persons; the New York Times’ shifting coverage about Nazis in Ukraine; Russian warning at the U.N. in October of 2022 about Ukraine’s plans to blow up the Nova Khakovka dam; Washington Post’s December, 2022, article about Ukraine’s trial assaults on the dam; examination of the distinct possibility that a British Storm Shadow missile was used to blow up the dam.

Covert Action Bulletin with Rachel Hu and Chris Garaffa

In Argentina, the far right-wing Libertarian candidate Javier Milei of the Liberty Advances party won 30% of the country’s presidential primary, calling for an end to “Kirchnerism”—really, a call to end the social programs fought for and won by the Argentinian people. We dive deeper into the analysis of how we got here, and what this surge in popularity of libertarianism really means.
Meanwhile in Guatemala, Bernardo Arévalo de León of Movimiento Semilla (Seed Movement) won the presidential election on August 20th and will be sworn in on January 14th of 2024. His defeat of the center-right Sandra Torres, candidate of the National Unity of Hope (UNE) party, by a margin of 58% to 37%, is a sign of change against the “pact of the corrupt”.
We’re joined by Zoe Pepper Cunningham, Co-Editor of People’s Dispatch to get a deeper understanding of what these results mean for their respective countries, for Latin America and more. (52:59)
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.

At least 175 transgender people were killed across the United States between 2017 and 2021. Only 28 cases resulted in murder convictions. Sixty-one cases remain unsolved. Last November, Insider -- an international, large-scale digital news platform -- published its comprehensive investigation into those homicides, the most in-depth examination of killings of transgender people in the U.S. to date, titled "Deaths in the Family." Based on a year of public records battles and countless conversations with grief-stricken communities and intransigent police and prosecutors, this huge under-reported story was assembled by a dozen reporters. They spoke with friends, family, and communities across the country to uncover stories of people killed by partners, parents, dates, clients, and police officers.
The reporting team was led by longtime queer journalist and former host of WBAI's Beyond the Pale program, Esther Kaplan, who is now the Investigative Editor at insider.com. The series covered law-enforcement killings, hate crimes, intimate-partner violence, the vulnerabilities of sex workers, unsolved cases, the ways transphobia colors the criminal-justice system, the troubled history between the police and the transgender community, and the fatal attack on an LGBTQ nightclub, Club Q, last November.
Esther noted, "Homicides spiked just as states accelerated their introduction of anti-trans legislation." This year, the Insider series has been named a finalist for honors by GLAAD, the largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, as well as the National Association of Black Journalists, the Association of LGBTQ Journalists, and the Online News Association.
