Thomas Jefferson called the U.S. an âEmpire of Liberty.â Barack Obama called the U.S. an âIndispensable nation.â These manifestations of American exceptionalism and American innocence provide the doctrine of U.S. empire building at home and abroad. Danny Haiphong and Roberto Sirventâs new book, "American Exceptionalism and American Innocence - a Peopleâs History of the United States from the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror" not only exposes this doctrine as myth but also analyzes its impact on the class struggle to develop a world free of U.S. capitalism, war, and white supremacy. Join anti-imperialist activists and journalists in a discussion about the book and its relevance as a tool toward dismantling the actually-existing fake news of U.S. Empire.
A panel from the 2019 Left Forum.
Panel sponsored by Black Agenda Report: https://www.blackagendareport.com/
Recorded and edited by Wilton Vought of Essential Dissent.

Radio station programmers please note: I recently posted 58 minute radio-ready edits of several previous episodes of Essential Dissent: http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/series/Essential+Dissent
There are 2 versions of this talk on the R4A server:
Version 1: A 58 minute edit suitable for RADIO PLAY as-is. Includes intro/outro etc. (-24 LUFS)
Version 2: A 58 minute edit suitable for downloading onto a computer or mobile device for INDIVIDUAL USE. Identical content to Version 1, but a louder file (-19 LUFS) encoded at a lower bitrate so it takes up less space.

Would you like to:
1. Download all or part of the Essential Dissent archive in a few clicks via OneDrive?
2. Access my audio in .wav format, which is the highest quality and preferred if you do your own edits for later conversion to a different format?
3. Download episodes that have disappeared from R4A?
4. Access extras such as conference journals which give more detailed information about the presenters, panels and sponsoring organizations?
5. Continue doing all of the above even if R4A becomes defunct?
Send an email to wvought at gmail dot com, requesting the archive link. Include Essential Dissent Archive in the subject line.
If you’re affiliated with a radio station, please tell me your radio station’s call letters and the name of your show. If you’re a podcaster, please tell me the name of your podcast. And if you’re an end user who just wants to stream or download some interesting audio, that’s cool too.
The link will give you access to the Essential Dissent archive (including all subsequent episodes) for as long as the archive is available on OneDrive. (If I ever have reason to move the archive I'll send you the new link.)
A big advantage of this system is that if R4A ever stops working or vanishes altogether, I’ll still be able to post new episodes to the archive, and you’ll still be able to download them. In that case I'll send a notification when I post a new episode (but you can opt out of receiving notifications at any time).
You are welcome to share the link with others, but since I will then not have their email address they will not receive notifications, nor will I be able to send them a new link should that become necessary. It’s best to have them contact me to be added to my email list.
No spam, no fee, no BS, and I’ll remove your email address from my list upon request.
