Episode 37: Investigative journalist Ben Norton

On location from Nicaragua,  Grayzone News' investigative journalist, Ben Norton offers his perspective on the current state of affairs in Nicaragua 41 years after the historic 1979 Sandinista revolution. Norton, who has traveled and reported extensively  from throughout Central and South America, excoriates US reactionary policy towards Cuba, Venezuala and Bolivia. He also describes the horrific economic and political conditions in the US controlled failed states that surround Nicaragua. At the outset of this in depth interview Mr Norton slams the mainstream media for not circling the wagons around persecuted award winning, Nobel prize nominated journalist Julian Assange, as his life and liberty are threatened by fraudulent, kafkaesque espionage act charges issued by Bill Barr's DOJ.
