Comments
Dr. Parenti, I listened to most of your talk on free speech radio, I'am interested in a ferocious way to know more. Guide me please as to where my starting should be.
So interesting so damn interesting.
Much Regards Beryl Mordecai-Brown
Michael Parenti has been in my life, a past adviser for the decision of which direction can one's own political-Science for anliysis goes. What remains is foucused on not-so-depleted-uranium 238 abuses in the currrent peabtgobs as N.A.T.O. goon-squads the u-S role in the world represents, which he discussed quite adequately --altho not extensively?
The need for "analysis" is why kPFA-fm does not have a daily "wars-focus" program each of seven days per week, rem ains lopsided, as the obvious side-Light remains in darkness of UN-discussed, and pretenscitious, therefore not allowed on comments or discussion-comments--as here?
This is yet called "censorship" and must be halted decades ago. Period. He also mentioned the blockade catharisis as an act of war is correct, non-assumption, and UN-lawful in many laws in need of accountability here in good-Ole "empire"?
One more correlation, those "cruise-Missiles" are said to have a price tag sold to Pentagons in 2001 as one-Million dollars, apiece. Maybe the level of use-need has increased and those remain less?

His analysis is right...the solution is to "get Bachmann" in power? Republians? Wow! You guys really got it going - while pretending to be scholarly and critical.
Your interviewer's focus on one man...with no focus on the Pentagon, the CIA, the Cogress (that applauded Netanyahu over and over again)...is also very telling. Obama is the one who is exclusively "hit". Your interviewee uses his voice of "care, concern, analysis (that is partly right) and budding scholarhood" to distort an argument in the most cunning way. So now the Republicans are okay because they are open with their violence and later apologize for it? But Obama, who showed up two years ago, is the bigger demon? Wow! You guys, as a cunning voice of the Tea Party or Republicans or Conservatives or Corporations, pretend to talk about justice, truth,etc, while playing even bigger demonic game. Its like Dershowitz actually saying "the role of the courts is not to seek the turth or justice but to convict only without reasonable justice". The courts do not seek justice or truth? I understand working with the evidence you got...but "the courts are not about justice and truth". That is the higher value of law and the judiciary. Why do we bother with the Supreme Court then? Imagine successful lawyers saying this?
Why don't go out and get your head bashed for justice? Aren't you the country of the great "can dos"? There are immigrants who have shown more concern and dare - and have paid a big price than many of you boys (white boys) who are playing it safe, while wanting others to die for "your" cause. Why not show what the whole of Midwest and the South (that encompases 75% of the votes) can do? There are people here with BA degrees who actually use words like "Indian giver" - when their people committed genocide against the Indians and then gave (cunningly and to redeem themselves) the State their tribal (or nation's) name. Wow! Can you beat people with this kind of twisted and cunning thinking? They are the majority and many of us are lucky that we survive with our amazing knowledge and capability. They'll use us as they use international students, immigrants and the people of the world. The cunning and trickery never stops!
Take the real risks...and stop focussing on one person or group. Your interviewer said what he really believes in when he said he does not care if "she" (Bachmann) becomes a President. Wow! Very telling!
His analysis is right...the solution is to "get Bachmann" in power? Republians? Wow! You guys really got it going - while pretending to be scholarly and critical.
