Thomas Jefferson called the U.S. an “Empire of Liberty.” Barack Obama called the U.S. an “Indispensable nation.” These manifestations of American exceptionalism and American innocence provide the doctrine of U.S. empire building at home and abroad. Danny Haiphong and Roberto Sirvent’s new book, "American Exceptionalism and American Innocence - a People’s 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.

Please visit this link if you prefer to download a (much larger) .wav file for highest quality: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgR3-KWytgTzgZxkGgd5mkb5IpJWoQ?e=SBczOg

Note to Radio Station Personnel - Please make note of this link:

You can use it to download all or part of the R4A Essential Dissent archive (in at least .wav format) via my OneDrive account, and I plan to continue to post new episodes to that account even if R4A at some point becomes non-functional.
