Sacrifice Zones | For Some Democrats Genocide Isn't A Red Line | 12-1-24

Sacrifice Zones airs on Sundays at 11am, Mondays at 8am, and Tuesdays at 2pm. This show was a hodge podge, but careful listeners will see a trend or through-line in all of my shows. They are a protest against the weaponization of capitalism launched by the United States of America in its play for empire. I read 2 essays that I feel captured the moment we are in better than anything I could have come up with to say. They are by Australian journalist Caitlin Johnstone, for the first piece and the second essay is from Timothy Snyder.
