On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to CIA whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling. He discusses the growing tensions between the US, Israel and Iran in the Persian Gulf, official leaks versus unofficial ‘frowned upon’ leaks, the weaponisation of the Espionage Act against himself and Daniel Hale, the man who revealed the shocking civilian casualties of the US drone program, the conditions Hale is likely to face in prison, and much more! Finally, we speak to Dr. Agnes Kalibata, the UN secretary general’s special envoy for the 2021 Food Systems summit. She discusses how our current food systems are creating biodiversity loss and contributing to climate change, the effort to upgrade Africa’s farming capacity and increase yields, the involvement and promotion of the private sector in building agricultural capacity for developing nations, the involvement of billionaires such as Bill Gates and giant multinational corporations in the monopolisation of the world’s food supply, and much more!
