    The Cold War Was — and Still Is — a Protection Racket — Paul Jay Pt. 3/3

    In part three, filmmaker and journalist Paul Jay turns to the film that brought this conversation full circle: How to Stop a Nuclear War. Jay traces the bomb\'s origins to a lie — the U.S. and Britain knew by 1944 there was no German nuclear program, yet built one anyway to secure postwar hegemony. He argues the Cold War was never really about defense; it was a protection racket that justified permanent militarization, purged the American left, and convinced generations that annihilation was the price of safety. Jay makes the case that nuclear winter research has been buried for decades because acknowledging it would mean admitting there is no such thing as a winnable nuclear war — only a lucrative one.

    Kayfabe Nation: Paul Jay on Wrestling, Billionaires, and the Theater of American Power – Pt. 2/3

    In part two, filmmaker and journalist Paul Jay argues that American politics runs on kayfabe — pro wrestling’s term for the fiction that the staged drama is real. The battles themselves are real enough: the fights in Congress over legislation, the billions spent to win elections. But what’s said publicly — the messaging, the narrative, the story sold to voters — is mostly fiction. The power of finance, the military industrial complex, and the billionaire class as a whole are rarely talked about in mainstream media or politics.

    Who Owns the Stage? Paul Jay on the Illusions of North American Democracy – Pt. 1/3

    In part one, filmmaker and journalist Paul Jay joins host Shalaj Lawania for a personal reflection. Jay argues that Canadian and American identity sit on a foundational lie: stolen land, slavery, and corporate rule masked as liberal democracy. He says most mainstream journalism focuses on the actors, but rarely on who owns the stage. He traces his “red diaper” upbringing, the Cold War myths he didn’t internalize, and the way mainstream and algorithmic media turn politics into a billionaire-run wrestling show while keeping us on the brink of nuclear war. Any honest account of personal identity, Jay says, has to start with knowing the society we live in, how we got here, and the brutal history that continues today.

    THE WRONG STUFF: How Money and War Are Filling Space With Junk - Michael Byers Pt. 2/2

    In the second part of Barry Stevens\' conversation with international law expert Michael Byers, the focus shifts to the \"tragedy of the commons\" unfolding above our heads. As thousands of satellites are launched by companies such as Elon Musk\'s SpaceX and millions of pieces of debris accumulate in orbit, the risk grows of a collisional cascade—known as the Kessler Syndrome—that could render parts of near-Earth space unusable for generations. Byers says that the rapid commercialization of space is linked to US military priorities and great power competition, as satellite networks sold as civilian infrastructure become essential tools of modern warfare and domination. The pace of expansion is outstripping the ability of international institutions to protect and govern the orbital environment. In the process, the spirit of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty is being steadily eroded. Space was envisioned as a realm of peaceful cooperation and a province of all humankind. This analysis shows how one of its last great global commons is being stolen and squandered.

    Who Owns Outer Space? War, Money, and a Promise Broken - Michael Byers Pt. 1/2

    Article 1 of the Outer Space Treaty, signed at the height of the Cold War in 1967, declares that space \"shall be the province of all [hu]mankind.\" That remarkable consensus, with its benefits to science and communication, has held for more than half a century— until now. In this conversation, host Barry Stevens talks with Michael Byers— Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at UBC and co-author of Who Owns Outer Space? — about how, behind breathless media coverage of rockets landing by themselves and astronauts circling the moon, Donald Trump\'s reframing of space as a \"warfighting domain\" and his Golden Dome fantasy are eroding fifty years of restraint and triggering an arms race. With Pentagon-backed companies like Musk\'s SpaceX, the commons of space is being crowded, enclosed, monetized, and militarized. But as Byers insists, \"it is not too late.\"

    Trump’s Savage Attack on Iran: For Profit and Permanent War

    From the Cold War bomber gap to the Iraq WMD fraud to Golden Dome, America’s permanent war economy has spent 80 years converting real geopolitical conflicts into manufactured existential threats — and turning fear into profit. The Iran war follows the same playbook: no confirmed nuclear weapon, no IAEA finding of a bomb program, no U.S. intelligence assessment authorizing one — but billions in new contracts, spiking defense stocks, and a president whose portfolio was moving through Palantir, Nvidia, and Broadcom while praising their “war-fighting capabilities.” This isn’t about Iran’s human rights or a nuclear threat. It’s about contractors, client states, oil markets, and an imperial order that needs permanent danger to survive. Jay says we must take up the recommendations of the 1934 Senate Nye Committee: take profit out of war.
