Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss the importance of Columbia U's Gaza encampment, the pro-Israel backlash against the growing protest movement, and apparent efforts to sabotage the demonstrations from within. They will also cover the vote by US Congress to spend $90 billion on disastrous conflicts in two theaters and a potential new one against China.

The Grayzone's Liam Cosgrove challenges Secretary of State Tony Blinken over his refusal to address whether the Geneva Conventions applies to Israel's assault on the besieged Gaza Strip.

On July 13, 2022, Antony Blinken condemned the Russian government for violating the Fourth Branch of the Geneva Convention.

In response to Cosgrove, he refused to say whether these laws apply to the people of Gaza.

ECUADOR: NEOLIBERALISM AND CARTELS

After 7 years of austerity measures and a rise of corruption in a weakened state, Ecuador is now on the brink of social collapse.

International crime corporations control hundreds of criminal bands that work as contractors, and allow these cartels to control most of the continent.

Meanwhile, Ecuador's US-backed President Daniel Noboa is imposing de facto martial law while violating international law to crack down on his political opponents, most recently with the arrest of former VP Jorge Glas inside the Mexican embassy in Quito.
