Join us at EartH Hackney on Monday 16 February to see Ash Sarkar in conversation with Aaron Bastani, discussing 'Why the Right is Winning': https://dice.fm/event/wwrypg-downstream-irl-aaron-bastani-in-conversation-with-ash-sarkar-16th-feb-earth-london-tickets Sign up for the new Downstream Newsletter here: novara.media/downstreamnewsletter Over the past three years, the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people has become a flash point for freedom of speech in the West. Expressing solidarity with Palestinians has given Western governments an excuse to crack down on dissenters. There has been intimidation and job insecurity at one end of the scale, through to brutal policing, arrests, and extraditions at the other. Our guest on Downstream this week knows a thing or two about censorship. Artist Ai Weiwei holds an unusual position, having been censored in both China and Europe. In conversation with Ash Sarkar, they discuss how this rising European authoritarianism represents a fragility at the heart of the political project. What was it like being interrogated for 80 days by the authorities? What kind of relationship did Ai Weiwei develop with his captors? Why did he choose to be an artist, rather than a journalist? What is his art in service of? And what is it like being used by the Sinophobic Western media as a weapon to attack China? 00:00 Intro 00:54 Censorship Isn’t Just for Authoritarian States 03:02 Privacy is Over 05:48 Political Scapegoating 08:06 Pro-Gaza Protestors 09:42 The Rising Authoritarianism in Germany 12:20 Exile Under Mao and Xi 14:52 When Does Art Become Journalism? 15:56 A Socialist Model of Art 16:16 Arrest and Interrogation in China 20:33 Is Ai Weiwei More Famous Than His Art? 23:25 On Being Misunderstood 25:59 The Differences Between European and Chinese Censorship 29:01 Shame as an Act of Censorship 32:22 Live Streaming the Taipei Tower Free Climb: Are We Seeing Too Much? 37:57 On Individualism, Collectivism, Uniformity and Plurality 42:13 How Does Ai Weiwei Describe His Political Philosophy? 45:07 Suspicion of Ideology 47:12 Can AI Make Good Art? 48:56 On Andy Warhol Support our work: http://novara.media/support Buy Novara Media merch: https://shop.novaramedia.com/ Discuss the show on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Novara/_Media/

From labeling protesters “terrorists” to deploying militarized police and ICE as paramilitary forces, these tactics aren’t new. They mirror the same methods the U.S. has used for decades across the Global South — now turned inward. Drawing on international law, colonial history, and the concept of the “imperial boomerang,” former UN human right’s official Craig Mokhiber explains how repression abroad becomes repression at home — and what it signals about the U.S. state’s posture toward its own population.

Trump has unveiled a so-called “Board of Peace,” an unelected, pay-to-play body that gives him and his billionaire cronies control over Gaza while Palestinians have no say in their own future. Leah Kayali of the Palestinian Youth Movement explains how this privatized, colonial initiative exposes fractures in the “imperial bloc” and seeks to profit from the ongoing suffering in Gaza. She says that despite genocide, displacement, and imposed “peace plans,” “The people of our homeland are not going anywhere and will continue to resist this just as we have for generations.” #breakthroughnews

But according to this week’s guest, the system is in desperate need of reform. Indeed, she thinks without a complete structural overhaul, it will soon ‘blow itself up.’ On Downstream this week is Keynesian economist, Ann Pettifor, to discuss her latest book, ‘The Global Casino: How Wall Street Gambles with People and the Planet.’ In conversation with Ash Sarkar, they discuss the state of the global economy, and the ‘shadow’ banking system that holds $217 trillion in financial assets - beyond the control of any taxman. How did Ann predict, with precision and foresight, the global financial crisis of 2008? Will the AI bubble burst, triggering the next economic crisis? And is the Green New Deal - which Ann helped to create - dead in the water, or a transformative plan B that we can turn to when the next crisis invariably comes? 00:00 Intro 03:20 Predicting the 2008 Financial Crash 09:20 Blowing Up the System 11:53 Where Is the Economy? 13:44 Private Profits, Public Losses 16:37 The Extraordinary Story of Masayoshi Son 19:43 How the Ultra Wealthy Speculate and Gamble 21:32 Trump’s Dark Money 22:11 Will the AI Bubble Burst? 25:53 Crypto, Gold, and Money 32:01 The Shadow Banking System 33:49 Where Are Our Pensions and Are They Safe? 39:05 How Technocrats at the Federal Reserve Rule the Economy 44:31 The Bond Market, Liz Truss, and the Division of Power 48:13 The Golden Age of Economics 53:30 Rosa Luxemburg and Revolution Through Education 55:25 The Time the US Ran Out of Gold 1:00:26 How Wall Street Controls Trump 1:04:21 The Case for a Weaker Dollar 1:05:33 Global Surplus 1:09:30 The Consumer State of Mind 1:12:51 The Green New Deal: Dead, or Just Waiting for the Next Crisis?
