Warm Springs, Georgia Report: What an experience! As we toured F.D.R.'s "Little White House" and the museum related to it, we were struck by how far down the rabbit hole we have fallen, as we compare what F.D.R. accomplished in 12 incredible years encompassing both the great depression and WWII, with what has happened since 2000. Sad and inspiring at the same time. Listen up to learn (or re-learn) some vital history lessons, along with some awesome Callaway Gardens butterfly tales mixed in, just for fun.
Politics: We could not help but share Michael Kinsley's "Why They Really Run", published in January 14's edition of Time Magazine, as Kinsley dares state the dirty word, "ambition", as he explains why the contenders dare not bare the word in public. Fascinating.
Big Pharma: Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h buddy, do we have some information for you! Chris Floyd saw fit to publish Penny Coleman's (a Vietnam war widow)
www.Alternet.org article on the Pentagon and Big Pharma's desire to implement the War Fighter Enhancement Program, the result of which, in her words, is a moral lobotomy for our troops. In an interesting twist, we also discuss Bruce E. Levine's "America's Love-Hate Relationship with Drugs" , published January 9 on Alternet, which addresses the drugs sanctioned for "regular people" and the damage they cause. In both instances, Big Pharma is the bad guy. Trust us on this and listen up for vital information.
Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds goes to Europe for Exposure the U.S. Refuses to Give Her: This is HUGE. We discuss two articles, "Sibel Edmonds, Turkey and the Bomb- a Real 9/11 Cover-Up?", published 1/7/08 in
www.Counterpunch by Dave Lindorff and "Nukes, Spooks and the Spector of 9/11" by Justin Raimondo, in
www.Antiwar.com to point out the fact the Ms. Edmonds gave up on the U.S. taking any action on her revelations that U.S. governmental officials conspired with foreign agents to steal U.S. nuclear secrets and sell them on the black market. Impossible you say? Well, listen up and decide for yourselves. Truly stunning stuff.
We should be back Thursday January 17. Don't hold your breath, however. You need to listen to this podcast just in case. And your sending feedback and suggestions and purchasing stuff from our store will do quite nicely until we do in fact return, thank you very much.
