ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Back to School! Last week we failed to mention that the whole exercise of Big Petroleum (BP) and the Obama Administration in covering up and hiding how much oil has actually gushed from the Deep Water Horizon disaster (in our humble opinion) is to LIMIT the amount of DAMAGES Bloated Pigs (BP) will eventually have to pay: more oil "spilled" = more fines and damages. We hope you aren't bored with our incessant coverage of this but when it comes to an ECOLOGICAL DISASTER of THIS MAGNITUDE that will affect the Gulf Coast and the world's ecosystems for DECADES we're like a dog with a fresh hamhock bone! By most estimates the mile-deep well was spewing something like one Exxon Valdez every 3-4 DAYS for over three months. This is NOT trivial. So for Balls Popping (BP) and the gummint to claim "75% of the oil is gone" seems on its face a complete lie. And if you've been following our links you may know both have been actively buying "scientists" to support their claims to create this alternate-reality image (including Da Prez allegedly swimming "in the Gulf") as proscribed by the Corporopress stenographers. "No oil here! These aren't the droids you are looking for! Move on!" So we'll be short and point you to Slow Violence and the BP Coverups at CounterPunch, Confirmed: Corexit Still Being Sprayed in the Gulf at Washington's Blog, Uncovering the Lies That Are Sinking the Oil at t r u t h o u t and BP's Deep Secrets at MotherJones.com. From "Slow Violence" we get "contractor Steve, though that is not his real name" and he says, “It’s as if a nuclear apocalypse has gone off in the Gulf,” he said. “The media is not telling the truth. No one is telling the truth." STEVE? More... "As it happens, Steve knows a good deal about dispersants. Before coming to work on the oil spill, he worked as a contractor for Halliburton; he now works in the Gulf for a company dealing with environmental toxicity and health hazards." And "This also means that if anyone sues BP for health problems caused by toxic exposure to oil or chemicals, CTEH will be the expert witness called in on BP’s behalf." This is grim. More under the heading "The Corexit Cover-up"... The main ingredient in Corexit is 2-Butoxyethenol, which is toxic to blood, kidneys, liver and the central nervous system, also causing cancer, birth defects. Corexit is mutagenic for bacteria, huge amounts of which live in the Gulf of Mexico. Corexit ruptures red blood cells and accumulates as it moves up the food chain. The EPA, reluctant at first to release data, eventually conceded that Corexit is LETHAL for 50% of any group of test animals that comes in contact with it. Even the Department of Transportation classifies Corexit as Class 6.1: Poisonous Material” for transportation purposes. But never mind THAT! We have SHINY OBJECTS to discuss on the Sunday Corporo-Funnies! Like GLAN BECK discussing his DESECRATION of the Lincoln Memorial on the Anniversary of Dr. King's "I have a dream" speech on Fake News (see DU nmbluesky MLK VS GLENN BECK). Meanwhile Face the Bob follows the SHINY OBJECT OF THE WEEK State Primaries with Florida's KENDRICK MEEK and Alaska's JOE MILLER (a generic name if ever ther was one!) and Meet the David does a navel exercise in "Katrina: Five Years Later". Following suit is State of the Candy with MEEK and ex-GOP-now-Independent CHARLIE CRIST (see Ring of Fire with John Nichols of The Nation about the GOP destroying their "moderates"). This Christianne goes BACK TO SCHOOL to discuss the U.S. Education system "reform" with ED SEC ARNE DUNCAN on how the "private sector" can "fix" the public school system. This, and "charter schools" of course, are the code words for breaking the Teachers Unions and creating a have/have-not two-tiered education system while making "education" corporations HUGE money on taxpayers' dime. See The Shock Doctrine in Action in New Orleans from NAOMI KLEIN from 2007 for how the Disaster Capitalists began this push in NOLA and more recently from OpenLeft How Content Standards Enable Corporate Takeover of Public Education plus Is Arne Duncan clinically a paranoid schizophrenic? from The Daily Censored. Of course your BTV Alerts avoid the Shiny Object Syndrome mostly, except to point out the hippocracy of it all and provide REAL information and news! The Brick TeeVee Crew thought they had some Giant Super-Weeds in our garden so we quickly covered them in plastic then removed them because "A single weed plant can produce 450 000 seeds". Yikes! Save some seeds from your garden's crop this year so you might still have a crop next year without having to buy GMO Roundup-Ready seeds from Monsanto! (We may get sued by Monsanto for using their copyrighted GMO-seed name as it mysteriously showed up here, perhaps by blowing on the winds of the tubes of the internets! HA!) Have a great week and THROW BRICKS at GLAN BECK and all his dumbass minions and morans!

Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)
SPILL BABY SPILL
The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

  • Meet the Press (NBC) Host David Gregory
    Meet the Facts at NPR "On the Media" - Last December, NYU professor Jay Rosen proposed something simple yet revolutionary: why don't the Sunday morning chat shows fact check their guests?

The question we now have to answer is whether or not the Obama administration is going to stand up to Big Coal, or will they continue to tow the line. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. discusses how the coal industry managed to completely capture the government with Jeff Goodell, a contributing editor to Rolling Stone magazine, and author of the new book “How to Cool the Planet: Geo Engineering and the Audacious Quest to Fix Earth’s Climate.”

    Floods and ‘Freak’ Weather Have NOTHING To Do With Economy or Finance, Keep Moving On, Nothing to See Here by stacyherbert Beware those claiming that major weather disasters like the Moscow heatwaves and fires or the Pakistan floods have nothing to do with the economy, markets or finance. Moscow’s July and August weather has not only impacted, for example, the bond market, but also the wheat market. The floods in Pakistan have not only dislocated millions of people and killed 1600, but have also caused great dislocation in agricultural markets where it has caused inflation in prices of local agricultural goods and is expected to cost the nation up to 10% of GDP. And now it has forced the nation to go to the IMF and plead for restructuring; the IMF is central to the global matrix of ne0-liberal finance so this action, too, will cause unknown knock on effects. Many have an ideology that necessitates weather events NOT be reported on, but these two events will have knock on economic, market and geo-political effects for years to come. Black them out of your memory if you must, but it doesn’t mean the costs will disappear. READ Pakistan seeks IMF loan restructuring @ BBC.
    Debunking Propaganda from the Big Carbon Taxers & Exposing the Big Oil Welfare Cheats Stacy summary: Scott Horton debunks the propaganda being spewed from the neo-conservatives who operate the most expensive welfare operation ever devised by man, financed through the highest carbon taxes anywhere in the world. Two trillion dollars per year alone in the US is collected in tax revenue, half of it goes directly to the military to secure oil reserves around the world, including next those of Iran (videos at post!).

    Glenn Greenwald August 26, 2010 Glenn Greenwald, Salon.com blogger and former constitutional lawyer, discusses the NYC anti-mosque/anti-Islam rally sponsored by neocon crazy Frank Gaffney (scroll down to update III), how the public’s fear of an Islamic bogeyman must be constantly stoked to justify a U.S. foreign policy of war and aggression, how Israel benefits from increasing anti-Islam bigotry in the U.S. and the most suppressed truth in American political discourse: that U.S. policy and behavior generate grievances that inspire acts of terrorism – including 9/11.

    Philip Giraldi August 25, 2010 Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi discusses recent Mossad intelligence operations in America based out of the Israel mission to the U.N. in New York , the one-way street intelligence sharing between the CIA and Israel, why FBI and DOJ espionage investigations never go anywhere and the evidence that Israeli agents in America had foreknowledge of 9/11.

    Hannah Gurman August 27, 2010. Hannah Gurman, author of the Salon.com article “The Iraq withdrawal: An Orwellian success,” discusses the U.S. deliberations on Iraq’s future that fail to ask what Iraqis want, measuring the outcome of war in terms of “success” rather than victory or defeat, how Iraq’s inability to form a parliament is delaying the approval of lucrative oil contracts and why the Sons of Iraq who were never integrated into the army are returning to the insurgency.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Shiny Object of the Week! Right up there with the Kennedy Assassination, the Gulf of Tonkin, September 11th, and Iraq's "Weapons of Mass Destruction" we now have the "Deepwater Horizon Disappearing Oil"! Last Tuesday Reuters reported Scientists raise queries about Gulf oil left behind: In one of the reports, researchers at the University of Georgia said about three-quarters of the oil from BP's blown-out Macondo well was still lurking below the surface of the Gulf and may pose a threat to the ecosystem. Charles Hopkinson, who helped lead the investigation, said up to 79 percent of the 4.1 million barrels of oil that gushed from the broken well and were not captured directly at the wellhead remained in the Gulf. The report was based on an analysis of government estimates released on August 2 that Hopkinson said had been widely misinterpreted as meaning that 75 percent of the oil spewed by the well had either evaporated, dissolved or been otherwise contained, leaving only about 25 percent. And GuardianUK reports in BP oil spill: scientists find giant plume of droplets 'missed' by official account Scientists have mapped a 22-mile plume of oil droplets from BP's rogue well in the depths of the Gulf of Mexico, providing the strongest evidence yet of the fate of the crude that spewed into the sea for months...."These results indicate that efforts to book-keep where the oil went must now include this plume," said Christopher Reddy one of the members of the team from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute....The study reinforces earlier reports from research voyages led by scientists from the University of Georgia and Texas A&M University who detected the presence of deepwater plumes of oil....According to their findings the deepwater plume measures 22 miles long, 1.2 miles wide and 650 feet high....Ian MacDonald, an oceanographer at Florida State University, said the White House accounting for the oil is misleading and that only 10% of the oil that spewed into the Gulf has been removed from the ocean. Do check out Washington's Blog for a very disturbing item Corexit Is Being Sprayed at Night, Even Now (According to BP Vessel of Opportunity Workers and Others) which links to Dahr Jamail's item in t r u t h o u t Uncovering the Lies That Are Sinking the Oil. Washington's Blog also notes FDA Not Testing Gulf Seafood for Mercury, Arsenic or Other Heavy Metals Because "We Do Not Expect to See an Increase Based on this Spill". Gimme that Fillet-O-Fish! YUM! If you need even more info check out Mac McClelland at Mother Jones. However NONE of this will be discussed on the Sunday Bobblehead shows since they have other SHINY OBJECTS for you to look at, like the "Ground Zero Mosque" and that pesky "conflict" in Afghanistan. This Amanpour leads the parade with an "EXCLUSIVE" interview with Afghanistan's Puppet President HAMID KARZAI, followed by a discussion of the (you guessed it) "Ground Zero Mosque". Look for ROBERT RIECH on the roundtable where he brings up his latest, Corporate Rotten Eggs. Face the Bob gets General RAY ODIERNO and a tape of Katie Couric with General DAVID PATREUS while Meet the David gets MITCH MCCONNEL and Mr. Tea Bagger himself DICK ARMEY followed by more "Professional Right" bobbleheads. 60 Minutes has a double length segment "THE BLOWOUT" about what really happened on the Deepwater Horizon rig the night it exploded. Good item! State of the Candy goes all-military with ODIERNO, Gen. RICHARD MEYERS (ret.), former CENTCOM Adm BILL FALLON (ret.) plus her own sit-down with KARZAI and HOWARD DEAN on the "Ground Zero Mosque" SHINY OBJECT. Good brick targets are LINDSEY GRAHAM on FTN and JUDY WOODRUFF in the This Week panel. Lastly Governor ROD BLAGOJEVICH tells all on Fake News! Get your morning popcorn out for that one! Of course you can check out our regular features below for some news you can really use. Lots to go through so get busy! And you might want to skip those EGGS for breakfast this morning too unless you have your own laying hens in the back yard! The Brick TeeVee Crew has been taking it easy in the sweltering August heat, occasionally weeding the garden between adult beverages. We finally got some good soaking rain on Saturday (like ALL DAY) and the temps seem to be moderating going into next week so we may have to actually run the lawn mower. Have a great week and watch out for SHINY OBJECTS on yer corporo-teevee!

  • Meet the Press (NBC) Host David Gregory
    Meet the Facts at NPR "On the Media" - Last December, NYU professor Jay Rosen proposed something simple yet revolutionary: why don't the Sunday morning chat shows fact check their guests?

    This Week on Ring of Fire!
    • This week on Ring of Fire Radio, the Congressman with Guts, Alan Grayson, will be joining us to tell us about his plan to limit the amount of money that corporate America is pumping into political campaigns.
    • former chair of the DNC, Governor Howard Dean;
    • Mother Jones Magazine investigative reporter Andy Kroll will give us the inside scoop on the people making millions of dollars as a result of rampant home foreclosures.
    • Daily Beast correspondent and publisher of the Independent Weekly, Rick Outzen, will tell us how BP is covering up the truth about the amount of oil that remains in the Gulf of Mexico.
    • And political satirist Matt Filipowicz will be joining us to discuss the proposed deal by Google and Verizon, that could leave millions of people without access to the Internet.
    • You Can Listen to Ring of Fire on These Stations HERE.
    • VIDEO! Papantonio: Alan Grayson is Pissed Off! Earlier this year, the Supreme Court made a disastrous ruling in the Citizens’ United case that will allow corporations to funnel as much money into political campaigns as they want. Luckily, there are still some members of Congress who are working to bring our democracy back to the people, and not to corporate America. One of those people is Congressman Alan Grayson, who co-sponsored the Shareholder Protection Act, which will prevent companies from giving to political campaigns without the support of their shareholders, and he recently spoke to Mike Papantonio about his efforts. You can donate to Congressman Grayson’s Money Bomb by going to this site
    • VIDEO! Papantonio: Cenk and Pap Go After BP The oil just won’t go away. NOAA was forced to admit that they were wrong about 75% of the oil being gone from the Gulf, and they now say that 75% is still in the Gulf. On top of that, BP is attempting to settle claims quickly by forcing those in need of money to sign documents agreeing to not sue the oil giant. Mike Papantonio discusses all this and more on MSNBC’s The Ed Show.

    Keep your hands off our oligarchs!! Stacy summary: So 17.3% of the US economy is health care and we’re supposed to believe that this is an innovative, competitive, genuinely free market global empire? And I love the solution this economist proposes of using anti-trust legislation (health insurance is uniquely exempt). Of course, half of the American population would man the barricades to prevent their favored banking oligarchs from ever having to compete. READ Monopolies, lack of competition drive US health care costs soaring despite deflation @ bloomberg
    Obama’s Expanding Covert Wars . . . in France, Belgium & Spain? Stacy summary: We’re used to the US meddling in Latin America, ex-Soviet states, Africa and the Middle East, but this bit in Scahill’s latest Nation article caught my attention: "The Nation has learned from well-placed special operations sources that among the countries where elite special forces teams working for the Joint Special Operations Command have been deployed under the Obama administration are: Iran, Georgia, Ukraine, Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador, Peru, Yemen, Pakistan (including in Balochistan) and the Philippines. These teams have also at times deployed in Turkey, Belgium, France and Spain." READ Obama’s expanding covert wars @ The Nation
    Vrabel Post: Global Empire and the International Banking Cartel (part 2) by Damon Vrabel Last week I wrote an article explaining what I mean by the international banking cartel that operationally rules the economy–the Federal Reserve primary dealers. Some astute readers wondered why I didn’t report on the global regulatory institutions that have power over that cartel. Good question. And others asked for more clarity on the cartel itself. Regarding the first question, I purposely focused on the cartel because so many people still don’t believe it exists due to false free market propaganda. If people don’t realize that a cartel of predatory usury institutions operationally controls the US, then why would they care about the regulatory framework over those institutions? But the point is well-taken. I explain more in this article, including the truth about the crash of 2008.

    Gareth Porter August 19, 2010. Gareth Porter, independent historian and journalist for IPS News, discusses John Bolton’s “8 day” countdown to a possible Israeli strike on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear reactor, clarifications on the previous day’s interview, more fanciful claims from warmongers that Iranians will be grateful for a regime-changing bombing campaign and whether the Obama administration has the nerve to “just say no” to Israel.

    Will Grigg August 17, 2010. Will Grigg, author of Liberty in Eclipse, discusses the loss of “local” police to a homogeneous federally-funded force designed to fight the war on drugs, how police departments facing budget cuts use asset forfeiture laws to make up the difference, the dramatic change of police portrayals in movies (and the culture’s acceptance of lawbreaking cops at large) following The French Connection and Dirty Harry, how the “Mosque at Ground Zero” exposed conservatives’ opposition to private property rights and how television’s idea of a balanced look at the criminal justice system means getting the story of cops and prosecutors.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Professional Left Special! Last week WH Press Secretary Bob Gibbs told The Hill, "I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested. I mean, it’s crazy...They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon. That’s not reality." Haha! As you can imagine there was a wee bit of blowback. Glenn Greenwald sums it up in Robert Gibbs attacks the fringe losers of the left : "You may think that the reason you're dissatisfied with the Obama administration is because of substantive objections to their policies: that they've done so little about crisis-level unemployment, foreclosures and widespread economic misery. Or because of the White House's apparently endless devotion to Wall Street. Or because the President has escalated a miserable, pointless and unwinnable war that is entering its ninth year. Or because he has claimed the power to imprison people for life with no charges and to assassinate American citizens without due process, intensified the secrecy weapons and immunity instruments abused by his predecessor, and found all new ways of denying habeas corpus. Or because he granted full-scale legal immunity to those who committed serious crimes in the last administration. Or because he's failed to fulfill -- or affirmatively broken -- promises ranging from transparency to gay rights. But Robert Gibbs -- in one of the most petulant, self-pitying outbursts seen from a top political official in recent memory, half derived from a paranoid Richard Nixon rant and the other half from a Sean Hannity/Sarah Palin caricature of The Far Left -- is here to tell you that the real reason you're dissatisfied with the President is because you're a fringe, ideological, Leftist extremist ingrate who needs drug counseling:" Oh DO read on! And check out all the embedded links while you're there! Another Professional Leftist Jane Hamsher has a video Glenn Greenwald, Dylan Ratigan & Me on the “Professional Left” at FireDogLake.com. And in a item by Sam Stein at Huff Po Gibbs Stands By His 'Professional Left' Critique, Expects Liberals To Vote In 2010 worthy of Harry Shearer's Le Show "Apologies of the Week" Gibbs gives his non-apology apology: Does he stand by the comments? "Yes," he replied....He had said what he said in a bout of frustration. "There are many time (sic) when I read the transcripts... that I could have said things slightly differently. I watch lot of cable TV and you don't have to watch long to get frustrated by some of what's said." Now we go to Professional Left filmmaker Michael Moore on Professional Left teevee pundit Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" show for Michael Moore suggests White House spokesman smoking ‘really heavy stuff’: "I've never heard the left referred to with the word 'professional'. It implies that we're organized....When Mr. Gibbs is worried about what people on the left are smoking, from my experience the person in the room who's most paranoid about who's smoking what is usually the person smoking the really heavy stuff." Watch it HERE! (h/t crooksandliars.com video cafe). Oh the humanity! The Mid-terms! Lastly we go to Raw Story for Alan Grayson: Obama’s ‘Bozo the Spokesman’ should be fired with VIDEO! Priceless! Mother Jones released their cover story BP's Deep Secrets on line BEFORE the print version was released, they deemed this information that important. Start with The BP Cover-Up: BP and the government say the spill is fast disappearing—but dramatic new science reveals that its worst effects may be yet to come - By Julia Whitty. (Related: Ring of Fire's PAP with GREG PALAST BP’s OTHER Spill and SEDER with DAHR JAMAIL The Human Cost of the Gulf Oil Spill - Are taxpayers going to be footing the bill to clean up BP’s mess in the Gulf of Mexico?) How about some SEAFOOD! Chef Sues BP Over Damages to Restaurants Selling Gulf Seafood (Bloomberg). The Sunday Professional Right, however, will toe The Company Line with some Company Employees. First, Meet the David goes "Live from Afghanistan" with Gen. DAVID PETREUS. This Christiane convenes a so-called "Panel of Economic Experts" featuring ex-Goldman Sachs CEO & Fmr. New Jersey Gov. JON CORZINE. Best bet may be the Face the Bob's Mr.Ed Show with TIM KAINE & ED RENDELL taking on ED GILLESPIE & ED ROLLINS (a horse is a horse of course of course...) followed by more of the Professional Right bobbleheads. State of Candy reels in CHRIS VAN HOLLEN to battle wits with KEVIN MCCARTHY plus a Climatologist and a NASA Scientist! JACK REED goes to the Dark Side (Fake Snooze) to tell JOHN CORNYN who's gonna win more seats in November, then more Professional Right bobbleheads. Gripping. Really gripping. THAT SAID, check out the "Professional Left" BTV Alerts and our regular "Professional Left" items like AntiWar Radio interviews with PHILLIP GERALDI on a new "unintentionally hilarious report on global terrorism" and FCNL'S DAVID CULP on START Treaty negotiations the GOPhers are holding up ratification (surprise) when the last three nuke treaties passed with 90+ votes. Go help HERE. Peter B features Prof. Andrew Bacevich on the “Washington Rules” (go ahead and search that term - more on that later) and Bob Kincaid has an interview with TruthOut and BuzzFlash while Ring of Fire has a "Best Of" show plus Max too. Two other items of interest from the Professional Left: The Digital Surveillance State: Vast, Secret, and Dangerous AND Corn byproduct fructose literally fuels cancer cell growth, study finds, about High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), both nothing the Professional Right bobbleheads would dare discuss. For the record (yeah YOU Bob Gibbs) we at Brick TeeVee believe a President Dennis Kucinich would have made the "Professional Left" happy. Big time. We already got drug tested. And YOU, Mr.Gibbs? Enjoy your Sunday and the BLUE DOG Days of Summer!

Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)
SPILL BABY SPILL
The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

    • VIDEO! The U.S. War Addiction When George Bush launched the Iraq War, it was obvious to any observer that we were in that country because they had oil, and our government wanted that oil. But this isn’t the only time that our military has been used to help businesses take control of the natural resources of a country. In fact, it’s happened a lot more than you might think. Mike Papantonio talks about our war addiction, and how US corporations are helping to make these wars self-perpetuating, with David DeGraw, a founding member of the Amped Status blog.

    Guest Post: Monopoly Money & the International Banking Cartel by Damon Vrabel - The Federal Reserve has been at the top of the news for a long time and it’s getting a lot of attention now as it appears the next down cycle in the depression may be upon us. So what’s the real reason the world listens so intently to an Ivy League bureaucrat like Bernanke? Of course, it has nothing to do with him. It’s who he is accountable to–the international banking cartel. Some Max viewers have asked me for specifics on this cartel and if it really exists. Here is the answer to those questions and a discussion about how the cartel has power over the entire economy, everything in “the market,” very much a non-free market.

    Philip Giraldi August 13, 2010. Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi discusses the State Department’s unintentionally hilarious report on global terrorism, the government’s steadfast refusal to see the underlying grievances that motivate terrorist actions, how Congressional Resolution 1553 defers Iran war-making decisions to Israel and how countries designated “state sponsors of terrorism” are placed on the State Department’s “ignore” list. LISTEN Philip Giraldi mp3 20:46 REF: See H.Res.1553 at OpenCongress.org
    David Culp August 13, 2010. David Culp, Legislative Representative for the Friends Committee on National Legislation – Quaker Nuclear Disarmament Program, discusses the START Treaty’s origin in the Reagan administration, how Senate Republicans and the Heritage Foundation are delaying the latest iteration of START to deprive Obama of a legislative success, the military’s preference for conventional rather than nuclear weapons and why the U.S. and Russian arsenals of 2200 deployed missiles each could be greatly reduced and provide the same deterrence. David has 15 years experience on nuclear arms control and disarmament legislation. He was instrumental in the passage of the nuclear testing moratorium in 1992; the ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention in 1997; and the defeat of a new nuclear warhead, or nuclear “bunker buster” in 2004. Previously he was a lobbyist at the Indiana legislature for a statewide citizens group, successfully opposing two nuclear power plants. He is one of six registered lobbyists on nuclear disarmament on Capitol Hill. LISTEN David Culp (mp3) 20:56
