Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded May 28th, 2025
Having aided and abetted a modern Holocaust for 599 days - and just as the end's in sight - cracks in the frozen-hearted facade of Western governments' solidarity with Israel's sick-making and remorseless depravity are beginning to appear. Or at least appear to be appearing. While the Toronto presses still churn out laudatory paragraphs for the colonial entity, coverage of things like the city's Walk with Israel event, held over the weekend, must now include mention of the awkward genocide the walkers' efforts in Toronto enthusiastically support.
Dave Lindorff is an Izzy Award-winning investigative journalist, author, and founder of the web news site, This Can’t Be Happening. Dave's book titles include: ''This Can't Be Happening! Resisting the Disintegration of American Democracy,' 'Marketplace Medicine: The Rise of the For Profit Hospital Chains,' 'Killing Time: An Investigation into the Death Row Case of Mumia Abu-Jamal,' and his latest, 'Spy for No Country: The story of Ted Hall, the teenage atomic spy who may have saved the world'.
Dave's latest article at This Can't Be Happening's new Substack site, 'Is Zionism Losing Its Grip?' invites cautious optimism in what has been the bleakest 20 months period perhaps in living memory.

And; if you're subject to the Western media mentioned you likely haven't heard of Donald Trump's assassination attempt against the Russian president. But yes, even as he thunders all a-contextual against Vladimir Putin and his army's unaccountable escalation in attacks on Ukraine there is, as the old saying goes, "more to the story".
John Helmer's a journalist and author who’s spent decades living in and reporting from Russia. He’s the principle behind the web news site, Dances with Bears and has - as well as serving as advisor to governments at the highest level - too been a professor of political science, sociology, and journalism. Among Helmer's many book titles are: ‘The Man Who Knows Too Much About Russia,’ ‘The Lie That Shot Down MH-17, ‘Skripal in Prison,’ and now the freshly released Skripal sequel, 'LONG LIVE NOVICHOK! The British Poison that Fooled the World'.
John's recent article at Dances with Bears, 'MAGA AND MEGA TURN MUGGER – FOLLOWING DRONE ATTACK ON PUTIN ON MAY 20, PUTIN HIT BACK AT KIEV, AND TRUMP DECLARED “I DON’T LIKE IT AT ALL”' fills in the gaps of both the western media narrative, (and Donald Trump's cognitive understanding - or lack thereof) behind Russia's retaliatory attacks against Ukraine.

But first, Dave Lindorff and loosing Israel's hold on the Western world - maybe.
