Gorilla Radio with Chris Cook, Jeremy Kuzmarov, Ken Stone November 26, 2022

Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded November 26th, 2022. Efforts to smother the remnant embers of free expression across media platforms are continuing apace. Concentrated corporate news ownership, suppressive speech legislation, and a burgeoning cancel culture are combining to muzzle investigation of corporate malfeasance and stifle the debate of government policy at perhaps the most crucial moment in human history. And, the communications technology revolution many hoped to democratize and counterbalance a worldview skewed by the dominant class has so far failed to materialize. But don't despair, there still exists real alternatives to the "mainstream" information monolith; honest, independent, and courageous media outlets that - if they lack anything - it's merely broader recognition, and more generous support. Jeremy Kuzmarov is a journalist and author who also serves as Managing Editor of just such an organization, CovertActionMagazine.com. CAM's Fall funding drive is fast coming to a spectacular culmination with next week's Pushback Against Empire: Holiday Party & Fundraiser, an extravaganza featuring a long list of celebrated countermedia luminaries. Jeremy Kuzmarov in the first half. And; though its technically illegal for Canadians to enlist in foreign wars, when it comes to the Ukraine conflict its clear Ottawa is happy to ignore transgressors. And, Canadian media is going that official blind-eying one further, lionizing Canadians killed in combat over there. Ken Stone is an executive member of both the Syria Support Movement and Hamilton Coalition to Stop the War. He's also a contributing author to the Canada-Wide Peace and Justice Network's open letter regarding the recent death of Canadian Joseph Hildebrand, killed fighting in Ukraine. Ken Stone and Canada's role in keeping the killing in Ukraine going in the second half. But first, Jeremy Kuzmarov and having a party whilst pushing back too with CovertAction. Chris Cook hosts Gorilla Radio, broad/webcasting since 1999.
