Sunsara Taylor, Mueller Investigation Bamboozled You! Trump/Pence Must Go! Plus Richard Falk, Attack on Gaza

Sunsara Taylor, writer for revcom.us/Revolution newspaper and co-initiator of Refuse Fascism, joins us to talk about:

The Mueller Investigation diverted, bamboozled, and stupefied people into waiting passively… The Trump/Pence Regime Is More Dangerous Than Ever -- It Must Be Driven From Power By Sustained Mass Protest By the People.

MASS PROTESTS are called nationwide for Friday, March 29.

"The long awaited Mueller Investigation resulted in no indictments of the highest level officials of the Trump/ Pence regime and a summary of the report stated that there was no collusion with Russia. This has unleashed the Trump/Pence Regime to go on a full throttle fascist offensive demanding investigations of their opponents, calling for resignations and blacklisting by the media. They are escalating their full program against the people on every front. And, Trump is giving a full out fascist rally in Michigan on Thursday." Read more at RefuseFascism.org

Richard Falk on Israel's deadly bombing of Gaza

A few days ago, a Palestinian tweeted from Gaza, an outdoor prison where Israel cages 1.8 million Palestinians, without clean water, sufficient food, without any recognition that they are human beings: "Wake the fuck up champions of peace, democracy, human rights and international organizations!!!"

Israel has begun bombarding Gaza again, with high tech, US weapons of mass destruction. They destroy hospitals, schools, water treatment facilities, and the homes of Palestinian people. And they threaten more. This comes at a time when the siege of Gaza is continuing, putting the entire area in danger of becoming uninhabitable. The fascist Trump/Pence regime has openly backed and encouraged the incremental genocide of Palestinians, most recently by recognizing Israel's right to seize territory, the Golan Heights in Syria, by brute military force. Trump recognized the Palestinian city of Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli settler state. Israel has legalized the theft of Palestinian land by the fascist Zionist land-stealers (called "settlers), in the occupied West Bank, passing the "Regularization of Settlement in Judea and Samaria Law."

For its own part, Israel late last year promulgated a "basic law," the equivalent to a constitutional amendment, officially declaring Israel to be a Jewish theocracy, an act that international law experts call a declaration of apartheid. When Palestinians in Gaza began the Great March of Return, Israel placed a firing squad safely across the fence, where Israeli army assassins have murdered hundreds and wounded thousands.

And in America, there are renewed efforts, spearheaded by the Democratic Party, to criminalize and suppress any criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism. Yes, where the fuck are the champions of peace, democracy and human rights?

We'll talk about all this with Richard Falk. Richard Falk is the Albert G. Milbank Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University and Visiting Distinguished Professor in Global and International Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the former UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights in the occupied territories.

From the Revolution Club-LA:   Screening/Discussion: Why We Need An ACTUAL Revolution and How We Can Really Make Revolution Saturday, March 30th, 3-7 PM 2716 S. Vermont Ave #8 (upstairs)   We will be watching the talk, "WHY WE NEED AN ACTUAL REVOLUTION, AND HOW WE CAN REALLY MAKE REVOLUTION" a talk by the leader of the Revolution, Bob Avakian. Followed by a discussion of the talk. The talk is in two parts. The first, “Only an Actual Revolution Can Bring About the Fundamental Change That Is Needed” reveals the basic nature of the system we live under and the way, because of the basic rules of how capitalism operates, this system continually perpetuates intolerable outrages and unnecessary suffering for most of humanity. Bob Avakian (BA) goes into why this system can't be reformed and why it must be overthrown. In the second part of this, BA speaks to How We Could Really Make Revolution. He begins with the biggest question facing people who want a radically different world: Could the repressive powers of this system actually be defeated? How would you lead millions at a time when a revolutionary situation and a revolutionary people arise to go all out to overthrow this system and put something far better in its place? How this strategy depends on what we do NOW. Avakian has broken through on the problems in understanding that have stood in the way of making an actual revolution, and keeping that revolution going on the road to the full emancipation of humanity. While awaiting the necessary conditions to go all-out for revolution, we need to hasten this and actively carry out the "3 Prepares": Prepare the Ground, Prepare the People, and Prepare the Vanguard for Revolution —Get Ready for the Time When Millions Can Be Led to Go for Revolution, All-Out, With a Real Chance to Win. We need to Fight the Power, and Transform the People, for Revolution! This system can NOT be reformed, it must be overthrown. A better world is possible! There is the science, the leadership, and the strategy at revcom.us “...we have two choices: either, live with all this—and condemn future generations to the same, or worse, if they have a future at all—or, make revolution!” —Bob Avakian WHY WE NEED AN ACTUAL REVOLUTION AND HOW WE CAN REALLY MAKE REVOLUTION https://revcom.us/ActualRevSpeech/ A beginning way that is significant to participate in the movement for Revolution is to DONATE! tinyurl.com/FundTheRevolution
