In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Chris Helali, political analyst, researcher and Independent investigative journalist to discuss leaked Pentagon documents reportedly painting a bleak picture about the conflict in Ukraine, how these leaks allow a fuller picture of the western intervention in the conflict and how the US and NATO are prolonging and escalating it, why the US corporate media is attempting to discredit these leaks as disinformation, and how details about US spying on its allies reveals the loosening grip of the US stranglehold on its world order.
In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Adrian Bonifacio, national chairperson of Bayan USA to discuss the Balikatan military exercises between the US and the Philippines and their purpose in the US war drive against China, how the legacies of US colonialism in the Philippines continue today as President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. pushes for more military cooperation with the US, and why US interests in the Philippines and in the region are not the interests of the people who live there.
In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Jim Santoyo, Chicago-based activist to discuss the ongoing struggle for justice in the police killing of Anthony Alvarez in Chicago, efforts to pressure the city to fire Chicago police officer Evan Solano, who is accused of killing Alvarez, after he received a suspension of 20 days for the killing, and how the election of mayor-elect Brandon Johnson may affect the struggle for justice for Anthony Alvarez and all victims of police terror in Chicago.
Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Rachel Hu, organizer and co-host of the CovertAction Bulletin Podcast to discuss a ruling by a Texas judge revoking FDA approval of Mifepristone for use in medication abortion and why the Democrats have failed to respond to that ruling, a Congressional letter demanding that the US Department of Justice drop charges against Julian Assange and the anniversary of his incarceration in Belmarsh prison, and NPR quitting Twitter over its labeling as government funded media.
