Richard Medhurst on US aggression toward Syria, and Exxon lobbyists boast of stopping climate action

Redacted tonight Foreign policy fail

Lee Camp interviews independent journalist Richard Medhurst on US foreign policy. Medhurst is from Syria and has an intimate understanding of the conflict in the region. Thanks to US intervention, the situation over there is still volatile and dangerous. Camp and Medhurst discuss the continued violence from religious extremist groups, the US’s crippling sanctions impacting the Syrian people, the recent elections that saw an overwhelming victory for Bashar Assad, the corporate media’s interventionist propaganda to justify US aggression toward Syria, and Israel’s brutal occupation of Palestinian land.

Naomi Karavani finishes off the show on a Greenpeace sting that caught ExxonMobil lobbyists boasting about destroying climate action. Exxon has spent decades stopping action on climate and even as the climate crisis becomes more drastic Greenpeace has proved that Exxon is still engaged in its dangerous practices.
