Journalist and documentary filmmaker Max Blumenthal joins the show to talk about the National Endowment for Democracy and other NGOs that supposedly fight for freedom abroad, but in practice promote American corporate interests, regime change, and dependence on U.S. foreign aid. Supporters of these organizations believe that sanctions and bellicose rhetoric lead to diplomacy, when in reality, Blumenthal argues, they do precisely the opposite.

Discussed on the show:

Director and writer of “Killing Gaza,” Max Blumenthal is a senior editor of the Grayzone Project and the author Goliath, Republican Gomorrah, and The 51 Day War. Follow Max on Twitter @MaxBlumenthal.
