Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace legislation!

The loss of civil liberties–freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly–often unfolds incrementally until the government censors us or we censor ourselves for fear of retribution. In Consortium News, former CIA analyst John Kiriakou writes, “The governments of the U.S., U.K. and even Canada have been working hard, sometimes in a coordinated fashion, to silence dissenting voices.” Kiriakou will tell us about his own recent interrogation by US Border Patrol and Canadian Mounted Police following a trip to Greece to discuss Israel’s genocide in Palestine and the threat of regional war in the Middle East.

Also updates on legislative attempts to censor students and teachers for Palestine in CA and Massachusetts–and on Israel’s outlawing of six Palestinian civil society groups while terrorist settlers, in cahoots with the Israeli military, rampage the West Bank.

Featured Guest
John Kiriakou is a former C.I.A. counterterrorism officer and a former senior investigator with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. John became the sixth whistleblower indicted by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act—a law designed to punish spies. He served 23 months in prison as a result of his attempts to oppose the Bush administration’s torture program.
