This program is a cutting-edge initiative of Global Research. It provides a global perspective on what is really happening in America and around the World - vital information unavailable in the mainstream, with noted guests sharing their expertise with listeners.
Topics discussed will include: the US military agenda in the Middle East, the unfolding financial crisis on Wall Street, Israel-Palestine, law and justice, Al Qaeda and the "war on terrorism," what’s happening at the White House and on Capitol Hill, a review of social, economic and environmental issues, and other vital topics of national and international concern.
