Henry David Thoreau, Thomas Paine and Martin Luther King Jr., the three greatest truth-sayers of US history, stood almost alone in their time with tremendous eloquence against the storms of cultural misinformation, prejudice and ignorance. In this spirit, Dr. Giroux is defiantly explaining, against the grain, what’s really going on right now, and doing so quite undeniably. He’s almost completely off the mainstream’s grid, partly due to his harsh exposé of how corporations operate in a world where they have now gained total control. In this interview, I aimed to bridge the gap between the in-depth interviews Henry normally does with a more casual, straightforward conversation.

Holding Trump accountable for his illegal war on Iran
The devastating American and Israeli attacks have killed hundreds of Iranians, and the death toll continues to rise.
As independent media, what we do next matters a lot. It’s up to us to report the truth, demand accountability, and reckon with the consequences of U.S. militarism at this cataclysmic historical moment.
Trump may be an authoritarian, but he is not entirely invulnerable, nor are the elected officials who have given him pass after pass. We cannot let him believe for a second longer that he can get away with something this wildly illegal or recklessly dangerous without accountability.
We ask for your support as we carry out our media resistance to unchecked militarism. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation to Truthout.
