We speak to Brandon along with Rhonda Ramiro, chairperson of Bayan USA, about the assassination attempt, the ongoing abuses of the Duterte administration, and the United States' continued support.

Unrelated but does anyone know of any good books/articles that talk about the US putting the Nazis/Japanese imperialists back in power in Germany and Japan after WW2? Or South Korea with Japanese collaborators?

This Duterte guy sounds like he's following the Jakarta Method.

I just found out that Brace is in the CIA, and I must say, I'm proud of you dad!

While you’re at it, when is an assassination ever not a “targeted assassination?”

Heartbreaking episode. But glad to hear more about this and see how people can help. You guys are real ones for putting up 3k for Brandon!

The Jakarta Method worked because the communists weren't armed and didn't even realize what was happening until it was too late. So Duterte can't do what Suharto did in Indonesia.

Great episode. This is the human cost of American hegemony and military 'aid'.

You guys ever consider covering the Indian Farmer's protest? Another huge story about fighting back.

This might be a small issue compared to others raised in this episode, but a lot of disabled people do not appreciate the phrases "confined to a wheelchair" or "wheelchair bound" to describe their situation. The language implies wheelchairs are a prison or burden. But they provide freedom, movement and enable people to do many things they might otherwise not be able to. Someone might "use a wheelchair" or be a "wheelchair user" without being bound or confined to it.

It is a prison, he was put into one, golly he was shot

A Socialist Defector by Victor Grossman discusses this quite a bit.
