We speak to Vijay Prashad, author of ‘Washington Bullets: A History of the CIA, Coups & Assassinations’.
He discusses why US foreign policy is unlikely to change, regardless of whether it’s Joe Biden or Donald Trump as President, a new Cold War in Latin America between China and the United States, why CIA-linked assassinations help kill ideas, the assassinations of Burkina Faso’s Thomas Sankara and Democratic Republic of Congo’s Patrice Lumumba and how their assassinations led to domination by corporations, how CIA-backed coups and assassinations have helped oppress working classes across the world for favourable conditions for corporations and much more!
