Episode description


In this free edition of the "Unauthorized Disclosure" weekly podcast, Kevin Gosztola talks with CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin and Ann Wright, a retired Army colonel and former State Department diplomat. Medea discusses CODEPINK's actions on Capitol Hill against U.S. support for Israel's war on Gaza. Ann offers an update on efforts to break the siege with the Freedom Flotilla. Both Medea and Ann respond to the propaganda coming from President Joe Biden's administration that justifies genocidal violence as well as the climate of repression that is intensifying daily. In particular, CODEPINK and other U.S.-based nonprofits face a bill in Congress that would potentially result in their organizations being labeled "terrorism supporters" if passed.
