Whistleblowers and Surveillance in 21st Century USA —
02 Mar 2013—
The US government has a Whistleblower Protection Act, but this podcast recounts multiple cases where people who blew the whistle on the illegal and unethical activities of the American empire have been ruthlessly punished or prosecuted. ~~ Then Glen Greenwald gives a speech titled "Challenging the US Surveillance State." He begins by reviewing the evidence that all US administrations have systematically abused their technological ability to listen in on US citizens. And as the powers of technology have increased, so has covert spying on the populace.

Richard Grove on Cyber-Society, Drones, Surveillance, and Descending the Slippery Slope of Tyranny —
10 Mar 2013—
In the midst of a circuses-addicted society gone mad, with cyber-addictions rampant, drones expanding their turf from the battlefront to the home front, and the total-surveillance matrix taking visible shape, where are the thinkers who would protest our descent down the slippery slope of tyranny? How can we instill not only deep thought in people, but mental activity that cuts through the multi-layered propaganda that keeps people zombified?

PANDA—People Against the National Defense Authorization Act —
05 Mar 2013 — Dan Johnson was appalled when he realized that the direction the US is heading is the same direction that emerged in 1930s Germany—an unaccountable totalitarian police state. After learning more about the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA, he founded PANDA—People Against the National Defense Authorization Act—now one of the fastest growing liberty movements in the nation. Johnson discusses the background of the NDAA, why it's dangerous, who might be targeted, and what PANDA—and you—can do about it.

Joshua Farley on the Political Economy of Ecosystem Services —
07 Mar 2013—
Professor Joshua Farley of Vermont University explains why we need to escape the traditional thinking of economists and politicians that says the environment is a subset of the economy. It is, of course, the other way around. For now, as we try to out-clever the system and continue flouting the proper economy-environment relationship—i.e. the laws of nature—we are merely bulldozing the pile of consequences further (and higher) into the future. But that cannot last.

Zombie Nukes—Undead Power Plants That Feast on Human Money! —
06 Mar 2013 —
There are a number of utility-owned nuclear power plants in the United States that are offline and not coming back online anytime soon, but also not scheduled to be shut down. Of course, you can't just abandon a dormant nuclear plant, at least not until the decision has been made to properly shut it down for good. Thus, these zombie plants continue to drain the public's pocketbook—usually through electricity rates—sometimes to the tune of $50 million dollars a month—without generating a single watt of electricity!

Operation Condor Trial Tackles Coordinated Campaign by Latin American Dictatorships to Kill Leftists —
07 Mar 2013—
A historic trial underway in Argentina is set to reveal new details about how Latin American countries coordinated with each other in the 1970s and '80s to eliminate political dissidents. The campaign known as "Operation Condor" involved US-supported dictatorships in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. They worked together to track down, kidnap, and kill people they labeled as terrorists—typically leftist activists, labor organizers, students, priests, journalists, guerrilla fighters and their families. The campaign was launched by the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, and evidence shows the CIA and former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger were complicit from its outset. Investigative journalist John Dinges reviews the details of the case.
