Tune in to The Free Speech Zone on Sunday night May 19th at 7 pm to hear “Dirty Wars”: Obama’s intensification of all components of the Bush war programs, a talk by Jeremy Scahill given at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, on April 27th, recorded by Truth and Justice Radio. Journalist/author  Jeremy Scahill gives a hard-hitting address discussing some of the dirtiest, ugliest, and most murderous secrets of the Obama administration and that of several earlier Presidents. Scahill is author of the new book “Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield”, and Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army”. Scahill observes that Obama not only
continues all the outrageous Bush programs of secrecy, war promotion, civil liberties elimination, and lies and coverups in full force, but in fact has intensified them. Meanwhile the great body of liberals who were angry at Bush
don’t seem to want to criticize Obama.

William Blum: Is it a War on Terrorism or Expansion of the Empire?  Recorded  March 9, 2007 by L.A. Sound Posse at Venice United Methodist Church, Venice, CA  William Blum is an American author, and critic of United States foreign policy. A former State Department
employee, he left the organization in 1967 due to his opposition to the Vietnam War. From 1972 to 1973 Blum was stationed in Chile, where he reported on the Allende government’s “socialist experiment”. In the mid-1970s, he worked in London with ex-CIA agent Philip Agee and his associates. Agee wrote a critique of CIA operations in his book Inside the Company: CIA Diary.  Blum was the founder and editor of the Washington Free Press, one of the many newspapers in the loosely organized U.S. underground press in the 1960s and 1970s that opposed the Vietnam War.

In the late 1980s, Blum moved to Los Angeles to work on a documentary on U.S. foreign policy based on his own book Killing Hope with  filmmaker Oliver Stone but the project ultimately floundered. In his writing, Blum  devotes substantial attention to CIA interventions and assassination plots. Blum describes himself as a socialist and has supported Ralph Nader’s presidential campaigns. He currently circulates a monthly newsletter by email called “The Anti-Empire Report”. Blum’s work is recommended by famous people including Noam Chomsky, Helen Caldicott, & Oliver Stone.

Tune in to The Free Speech Zone on Sunday night February 26th at 7 pm to hear an Agony Column Podcast interview with Matt Taibbi, author of the bestseller Griftopia: A Story of Bankers, Politicians, and the Most Audacious Power Grab in American History. The financial crisis that exploded in 2008 isn’t past but prologue. The grifter class, made up of the largest players in the financial industry and the politicians who do their bidding, has been growing in power, and the crisis was only one terrifying manifestation of how they’ve hijacked America’s political and economic life.  Matt Taibbi has combined deep sources, trailblazing reportage, and provocative analysis to create the most lucid, emotionally galvanizing  account yet written of this ongoing American crisis. He offers fresh reporting on the backroom deals of the bailout; tells the story of Goldman Sachs, the “vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity”; and uncovers the hidden commodities bubble that transferred billions of dollars to Wall Street while creating food shortages around the world. Griftopia is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the labyrinthine inner workings of this country, and the profound consequences for us all. A brilliantly illuminating and darkly comic tale of the ongoing financial and political crisis in America.

Tune in to The Free Speech Zone on Sunday night February 5th at 7 pm to hear a Media Matters - Bob McChesney interview with Mickey Huff & Peter Phillips of Project Censored.  Every year since 1976, Project Censored has produced a Top-25 list of underreported news stories and a book, Censored, dedicated to the stories that ought to be top features on the nightly news, but that are missing because of media bias and self-censorship. This yearbook features the top stories listed democratically in order of importance according to students, faculty, and a national panel of judges. Each of the top stories is presented at length, alongside updates from the investigative reporters who broke the stories.  Censored is one of the strongest life signs of our current collective desire to get the news we citizens need—despite what Big Media tells us.
