49th Parahell is back again and so is returning guest Duncan Kinney, host of the Progress Report, to discuss Canadian Nazi monuments, our disturbing and mostly-hidden fascist history, and how he himself has become a part of this story after being charged with vandalizing one of these monuments in Edmonton a few years ago.

Vijay Prashad, director of the Tricontinental Institute and author of books such as Washington Bullets and The Darker Nations joins the show for a wide ranging conversation that touches on everything from The Kate Middleton Conspiracy, the absurdity of the coming Biden/Trump rematch, the ongoing atrocities in Gaza, the threat a declining United States poses to the rest of the world... even the latest self-help trend sweeping the nation.

Newly-independent Hamilton MPP Sarah Jama joined me to talk about her censure in Ontario Parliament and expulsion from the NDP caucus following the statement she released shortly after Oct 7th, how Canadian political culture stifles free expression, some of the things she's hoping to accomplish as an independent, and the constant bad faith discourse surrounding Israel/Palestine in this country. https://www.sarahjama.ca/ http://patreon.com/robrousseau Listen to our LIVE show about Canadian media featuring me, Nashwa Lina Khan and Paris Marx: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/harbinger-showcase/harbinger-showcase-ep20-live-juG_D21mA-9/    

I talked with Camila Escalante (TeleSUR, Kawsachun News) about Canada and the rest of the Anglo American Empire's ongoing decline, our western values, the global south, with some additional analysis on the Guyana–Venezuela territorial dispute and what it means to be "sovereign."

Jesse Hawken of the Junk Filter podcast joins the show to talk about the latest chapter in the ongoing Two Michaels saga that has captivated the nation. Were the Michaels two good old Canadian lads who were unjustly held captive by a totalitarian, authoritarian regime? Is this latest story a cynical ploy on the part of our media to pit Michael against Michael? Or was the Chinese government acutally being more honest and transparent about this situation than our own government and its media stenographers? All this is explored in this episode.
