Uprising Uncut


Our Child-Raping Afghan Allies, Pope Francis’ Genocidal Blindspot, Martin Shkreli’s Public Shaming, VW’s Deception and More

September 25, 2015

In this fifth episode of Uprising Uncut, Sonali discusses her latest column in Truthdig, focusing on the US war in Afghanistan and how we've overlooked the dirty deeds of our warlord allies. She also examines the love-fest over the Pope despite his ignorant canonizing of the genocidal evangelist Junipero Serra. Plus three stories of corporate wrongdoing - Martin Shkreli's price gouging, VW's clean diesel deception, and Warner Bros' stinging loss of the Happy Birthday copyright. (Warning: Profanity. Not for radio broadcast.)
