Unwelcome Guests: The "War on Terror "and the Bottom Line
This was so good, I just post it without any comments...
This week on the program two talks that illuminate the extent to which
the so-called "war on terrorism," specifically, and the concept of
national security generally, is about the bottom line, though that is
not how its sold to the general public. You will hear this week how it
resembles the cold war in many ways, from red scares at home to wars
abroad. At home the target is people whose politics threaten profits,
abroad, ditto. A matrix of relationships designed to defend these
financial interests involves nearly every influential sector of
society, and our speakers will go into detail on who some of they key
actors have been, and what laws and policies have resulted.
In the first hour, we'll hear from Peter Phillops director of project censored , and in the second hour, Will Potter, a DC based journalist ...with a talk The Green Scare: Eco-Activism in the Age of Terror"
