    "Who Owns the Stage?" — Paul Jay on What Mainstream Journalism Is Paid Not to Ask - Pt. 1/3

    Part one of a three-part conversation. In this wide-ranging talk with host Shalaj Lawania, filmmaker and independent-media founder Paul Jay traces a single thread through five decades of work: most journalism, most academic history, most political commentary studies the actors on stage — and carefully avoids the question of who owns it. Jay talks about his \"red diaper baby\" upbringing — a father who joined Canadian Bomber Command in 1939 to fight fascism, a mother who fled Hollywood and McCarthyism, and a childhood spent reading newspapers at the height of the Cold War. He describes creating the debate show CounterSpin at the CBC, and what he came to see as the structural cowardice of mainstream media after 9/11 and in the run-up to the Iraq War. He recounts watching newsrooms ignore weapons inspectors who had shown there was no evidence for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq — even as those interviews aired one door away from the national newsroom — and the stunning story of Senator Bob Graham, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee and co-chair of the congressional 9/11 inquiry, who told Jay on camera that the Bush-Cheney administration didn\'t just know an attack was coming but facilitated it. Jay offered the interview to every major news outlet in North America for free. Not one replied. He explains why he built The Real News Network and theAnalysis.news on a \"triple no\" model — no corporate money, no government money, no advertising — and how algorithms and tech monopolies now suppress independent journalism that connects the dots, citing Elon Musk\'s candid line that platforms don\'t need to censor, they \"just limit reach.\" Along the way: the \"big lie\" beneath Canadian and American identity, why North America was a corporate project from the Hudson\'s Bay Company onward, and the consequences of slavery and genocide that societies learn to compartmentalize.  But for all the diagnosis, Jay\'s outlook isn\'t fatalist. His drive, he says, isn\'t altruism — it\'s self-interest understood: no one benefits from a world on the brink of nuclear war and climate collapse, and a meaningful life means working to change it. It\'s the conviction behind theAnalysis.news\' own credo — that the world can only be understood in the process of changing it — and behind his forthcoming film, How to Stop a Nuclear War, narrated by Emma Thompson.

    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.

    Moon Data Centers, Nuke Sponges & the Arms Race Racket | Paul Jay on the Military-Industrial Machine

    What if the arms race isn\'t a problem to solve — it\'s the business model? Paul Jay, founder of theAnalysis.news and director of the upcoming documentary How to Stop a Nuclear War, breaks down the machinery behind Golden Dome, lunar data centers, AI militarization, and the trillion-dollar boondoggle playbook that\'s been running since the Cold War. Plus: why \"corruption\" misses the point, the Pentagon as America\'s largest socialist institution, and what a bipartisan Senate committee concluded in 1933 that nobody wants you to remember.

    History of U.S. Aggression Against Cuba - James Early

    James Early argues the indictment of former Cuban President Raúl Castro is less about prosecuting a decades-old case and more about creating a political and legal framework for intensified U.S. pressure against Cuba. He says the move fits within a long history of American efforts to destabilize the Cuban government through sanctions, economic isolation, and covert pressure dating back to the Eisenhower administration.
