Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded January 15th, 2025.
For any who believed, (or hoped beyond hope) the years intervening his second coming would have mellowed the once and future American president, early indications are not encouraging. Donald Trump has thundered and threatened both friend and foe, promising his wrath will shake the pillars of the Earth to realize a New(er) World Order; come Hell and high waters. Or words to make that effect. For Canadians, Mexicans, Cubans, and Panamanians those promises are of immediate concern; but likewise for all who stand in the way of Empire's wavering hegemony.
Professor Jeremy Kuzmarov is a scholar, journalist and author, who writes for and serves as Managing Editor to Covert Action Magazine. Kuzmarov's book titles include, ‘Obama’s Unending Wars’, ‘The Russians Are Coming, Again’, (written with John Marciano) and his latest, ‘Warmonger. How Clinton’s Malign Foreign Policy Launched the U.S. Trajectory From Bush II to Biden’. Jeremy's most recent article at CAM is, 'Mass Incarceration Arose Out of Empire Building Across North America, Caribbean and Pacific'.

And; it's easy to forget almost three years along there was a time before the Russia-Ukraine war. But make no error, those weren't halcyon days; the absence of war did not make a peace. Instead, it was the period of War's long-slogging preparation; when falsity and treachery conspired to ready the conditions for the destruction of a nation. And that conspiracy continues.
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 his many book titles are: ‘The Man Who Knows Too Much About Russia,’ ‘The Lie That Shot Down MH-17, the lately released autobiography, ‘Dunce Upon a Time: A Life of Mistakes’, ‘Skripal in Prison,’ the first and perhaps only book to follow the Skripal saga from its beginnings, and now its freshly released sequel, 'LONG LIVE NOVICHOK! The British Poison that Fooled the World'.
