  • Debating Larry Johnson: Who’s Really Silencing Free Speech?
    Sep 20 2025

    In this debate with Larry Johnson, we tackle one of today’s most pressing issues: who is really silencing free speech?🔴🔴🔴Support Independent media to remain bold: https://patreon.com/IndiaGlobalLeftLink for donation: https://paypal.me/sankymudiar🔴🔴🔴We examine how U.S. terror laws are being turned against the Left, and why the conservative narrative around “cancel culture” hides a deeper assault on dissent. Using examples like Charlie Kirk’s framing of Donald Trump’s death and conservative attacks on critics, we break down how state power and right-wing forces weaponize law, fear, and propaganda to stifle opposition.🔹 Are terror laws a greater threat to the Left than “cancel culture” is to the Right?🔹 How do conservatives exploit free speech rhetoric while backing state repression?🔹 What does this mean for democracy and political dissent in America today?Watch the full debate and join the discussion in the comments — who do you think is truly under attack?🔴🔴🔴Follow us on Substack: https://substack.com/@indiagloballeftTwitter: https://twitter.com/Indiagloballeft Instagram https://www.instagram.com/indiagloballeft/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559411353392Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/69Y9iCWUv8ha3ATsPWtWk0?si=ee1f0de3de094f17Telegram: https://t.me/+WNlqoiv1Rhg5NjEx🔴🔴🔴

  • Forget Rate Cuts — Time to Overhaul the Fed?
    Sep 18 2025

    As markets focus on the latest Federal Reserve meeting and speculation over interest rate cuts, a deeper question demands attention: Who really controls U.S. monetary policy—and why isn’t it democratic?🔴🔴🔴Support Independent media to remain bold: https://patreon.com/IndiaGlobalLeftLink for donation: https://paypal.me/sankymudiar🔴🔴🔴In this episode of India & Global Left, we sit down with Leah Downey, political economist and author of a powerful new book that critiques the Federal Reserve. Downey explains how the Fed operates as a technocratic institution, insulated from democratic accountability, and why its decisions—whether hiking rates, cutting them, or expanding its balance sheet—often reflect elite priorities rather than the needs of the majority.💡 What you’ll learn in this conversation:Why the Fed’s structure and decision-making processes are fundamentally undemocraticHow technocracy dominates monetary policy, leaving ordinary people without a voiceThe hidden consequences of Fed policies for workers, wages, and inequalityDowney’s proposals for democratizing monetary policy so that it serves the public interest, not just Wall StreetWhat today’s rate cut debates reveal about the Fed’s broader legitimacy crisisThis is not just about interest rates. It’s about who should decide the economic future of millions of Americans. Should monetary policy remain in the hands of unelected technocrats—or should democracy have a say?🔴🔴🔴Follow us on Substack: https://substack.com/@indiagloballeftTwitter: https://twitter.com/Indiagloballeft Instagram https://www.instagram.com/indiagloballeft/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559411353392Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/69Y9iCWUv8ha3ATsPWtWk0?si=ee1f0de3de094f17Telegram: https://t.me/+WNlqoiv1Rhg5NjEx🔴🔴🔴
