Blast the Right|121 - Global Fight Against The Right: US House OK's Jubilee Act, Mexican Lawmakers Conduct Sit-In To Protest Oil Law, Starving People Riot Worldwide Episode
I don't know if you caught the following stories recently:The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Jubilee Act providing debt relief for Third World nations.Progressive Mexican legislators occupied both their houses of Congress in protest of a proposed oil law.Starving people rioted all over the world in protest of rapidly rising food pricesDid you see the mainstream media tie all those stories together?Of course not.Do you know what all those stories have in common?I'm going to tell you, tie them all together for you here today.Hint: It just may have something to do with right-wing ideology and policies.(PS: Right-wingers, if you want to write in to me, fine, but at least do me the courtesy of listening to the podcast first. Please don't respond just on the basis of the brief preview above. Thanks!!)Programming note: Until May, there will most likely not be live shows on alternate weeks.Link promised in podcast: Jubilee USA website
