With over 100 dead or missing in the US-backed government crackdown, we interview Pablo Simanca, a leading student organizer from Cali, the epicenter of the protest movement facing the worst repression. Learn what these historic protests are about, the details of the fascistic military crackdown, and the role the US Empire plays in facilitating it.

PLUS: Abby and Mike share their frightening first-hand experiences reporting from Colombia in 2018.

Robbie brings on researcher gumby4christ for a sequel of sorts to the previous Media Roots Radio episode ‘The Oswald Institute of Virology, COVID-19 Origins & US Military Biowarfare’. Just when it seemed like the Covid ‘lab-leak’ talk had gone away it comes back with a vengeance. A series of incriminating e-mail exchanges got dumped revealing ‘Gain of Function’ research funded by the US government at the Wuhan BSL-4 lab and Anthony Fauci’s full awareness of it. This eventually led to Fauci conceding that Covid-19 could have leaked from a lab and Jon Stewart saying on Late Night with Stephen Colbert that it was a pandemic ‘created by scientists’. Robbie & Gumby break down every conceivable angle of what could actually be going on here, from the idea of a long con Wuhan lab sting operation as a vehicle for a geopolitical strategy against China to how the propaganda campaign resembles WMDs in Iraq but could be employing reverse psychology (‘the fact checker elites lost!’). The podcast concludes with Gumby revealing the contents of the Ft. Detrick USAMRIID documents he obtained via a FOIA.

Robbie Martin brings on prolific foreign policy journalist/writer Dave DeCamp of Antiwar.com again to talk about the increasing hysteria and fear Americans are exhibiting over China and how there is seemingly bipartisan support in DC and among the public for an aggressive stance against China. Dave and Robbie then move on to the different camps of Libertarianism, first the camp that espouses Zionist talking points, neocon rhetoric on China and wants to work with the MAGA-right and the other camp that still resists all forms of US imperialism. The discussion concludes with an assessment of where things are at with US/Russia relations in the Biden-era.
