G&R Episode 53: State murders of Nuns in El Salvador and Fred Hampton--repression at home and abroad.

In this episode, we get into the politics of U.S. repression of dissent to its politics foreign and domestically. Bob and Scott talk about the anniversary of the Maryknoll sisters' murder in El Salvador in 1980, and the assassination of Chicago Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark in 1969.   

We discuss these horrific state-sponsored murders, and show how the U.S. military-imperial state operates when it believes its interests are challenged--be it by nuns in Central America or Black activists in Chicago. And it will remind you that Trump is not uniquely evil.  Reagan defended and covered for the terror squads in El Salvador.
