Welcome to this episode of Jedaal English. Today, I’m joined by Dan Kovalik, an American lawyer and human rights advocate who currently teaches International Human Rights at the University of Pittsburgh Pennsilvania He graduated from Columbia University School of Law in 1993. He then served as in-house counsel for the United Steelworkers, AFL-CIO (USW) until 2019.,. Dan has received the David W. Mills Mentoring Fellowship from Stanford University School of Law and the Project Censored Award for his article exposing the unprecedented killing of trade unionists in Colombia.
He is the author of several influential books, including The Plot to Scapegoat Russia, The Plot to Attack Iran, The Plot to Control the World, No More War, The Plot To Overthrow Venezuela, How The US Is Orchestrating a Coup for Oil, Nicaragua: A History of U.S. Intervention & Resistance, Cancel this book: the progressive case against cancel culture, and The Case for Palestine.
In this sobering discussion, we’ll explore the aftermath of Assad’s fall in Syria, the devastating impact on resistance movements in West Asia, and the looming war with Iran. We’ll also address why the promised transition to multipolarity has had little effect in preventing this genocide, and what is required to halt the devastation caused by the U.S. military empire.
This conversation has been recorded on Friday, 3rd of January 2025.
