A few weeks ago the New York Times published a hit piece on Jodie Evans and her partner Neville Roy Singham as well as Vijay Prashad of Tricontinental and others, accusing them of organizing front groups to spread Chinese propaganda.
These are groups which are advocating No Cold War and peace with China, but to the U.S. establishment they are threats.
Bob had a great conversation w/ Jodie Evans, a co-founder of Code Pink, about the work of these groups in advocating for an end to saber-rattling w/ China and negotiations in Ukraine, and about their true relationships w/ China and others.
The NYT piece was a boilerplate Cold War smear job, the kind that the U.S. media and political class has been conducting for a century now. It's a resurgence in McCarthyism and it needs to be stopped now.
