The Cold War Truth Commission part 5: The Toxic Legacy of the Cold War
Channel: Ed Mays
Date: 2021-10-07

The Cold War Truth Commission exposes U.S. illegal and immoral actions in the name of Anti-communism at home and abroad. And shows how today's pervasive violence and injustice-both at home and abroad-is intimately tied up to the perpetration of the Cold War. Without truth about the U.S. Cold War, there can be no true Reconciliation for our times.
This week, the fifth installment- The Toxic Legacy of the Cold War, features:
* The Cost of US Militarism in the US Cold War to Today   - Carley Towne, National Co-Director of CodePink.
* Weaponizing Space in the US Cold War to Today – Bruce Gagnon, Co-Founder and Chair of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space.
* There Was Nothing ‘COLD’ About the Cold War   - David Vine, Author of “United States of War”.
* War Resistance In the 1980’s As Foundation for 1991 Iraq War Resistance   - Kathy Kelly, Peace activist founder of Voices in the Wilderness.
* Combatting the Lies of the US Cold War Today   - David Swanson, Executive Director of World BEYOND War.
The program hosts are Rachel Bruhnke of Witness For Peace Southwest and Frank Dorrel of ADDICTED To WAR.
