Sean and Angela are joined by returning guest Malcom Kyeyune to discuss the Israeli-American war of aggression against Iran. Can the Trump administration walk away from this or the off ramp in the rearview mirror? Can America survive another million soul human sacrifice in the Middle East? What will the 'Donald the Dove' voters do with all of these Fell For It Again awards?

This week, Angela and Sean read The Anatomy of Power By John Kenneth Galbraith. Are we moving backwards into a more brutal age of pure coercion? Does Galbraith's framework make sense three decades after the end of Cold War? Should we find and post the names and home addresses of twitter users who have the incorrect interpretation of Errico Malatesta's Between Peasants: A Dialogue on Anarchy?

Sean and Angela continue the conversation: Free Speech on the continent, slop mongers imagine EU heads of state hitting the afters on rails, Sir Keir on the shoulders of Irish-American giants, and the hope that the US/Israel relationship can be reshaped by a 747 (with fewer dancing Israelis this time).   ---

This week Angela and Sean ponder freedom of speech: is it an inalienable human right, a bourgeois mental illness, a relic of Pax Americana, thin veneer over the color revolution machine, or is a measured approach required for the present age of near-peer competition?

Sean and Angela discuss Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, if art can survive the universal solvent of the internet, the dull managers of hard power guiding the antisocial artisan/conduits of soft power, and the rewards (getting paid by the Knights of Malta) and risks (dying of malaria in Tuscany) of Doing the Race.
