by Kevin Barrett 6/30/2009 Douglas Rushkoff got the idea for his new book Life, Inc., after he was mugged in his own neighborhood – twice. The first time, it was a real-world mugging in the streets. Then when he wrote about it on-line, he suffered a second, virtual mugging by angry neighbors afraid his report would hurt their property values. Rushkoff had a flash of insight: His neighbors were acting like corporations, not human beings. How did the corporatocracy get this far in its quest to possess the human soul? he wondered. Out of that question grew Life, Inc., a…

As Iraq runs dry, a plague of snakes is unleashed“The Desert Horned Viper lurks in sand, only eyes, nostrils and horns above the surface…Swarms of snakes are attacking people and cattle in southern Iraq as the Euphrates and Tigris rivers dry up and the reptiles lose their natural habitat among the reed beds…six people have been killed and 13 poisoned…’People are terrified and are leaving their homes…We knew these snakes before, but now they are coming in huge numbers. They are attacking buffalo and cattle as well as people.’”http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/as-iraq-runs-dry-a-plague-of-snakes-is-unleashed-1705315.htmlIntroduction to Zahf al-Jafaf I wrote this poem in mid-August of 2001,…

Jessica McBride makes her living teaching Journalistic Ethics. That didn’t stop her from ambush-interviewing me on behalf of Karl Rove and the Republican propaganda machine, who were looking for an academic whipping-boy to discourage professors from expressing 9/11 skepticism. At the time, Jessica’s husband, District Attorney Paul Bucher, was running for State Attorney General, and the Republicans wanted to make political points by bashing the University. This was my first-ever mainstream radio interview on the topic of 9/11 truth: http://www.911podcasts.com/display.php?vid=128 The interview made me famous. The next morning, Steve Nass issued a press release calling for me to be fired…

At the invitation of the Spanish court investigating U.S. war crimes, William Pepper wrote an extensive brief on why they should target top Bush officials, not just their lawyers. It appears they have taken his advice–get ready for Nuremburg II, which, Pepper told me, will be far more important than Nuremburg I. Learn about the impending prosecution of the Bush regime, and why you need to donate NOW to the NY 9/11 Ballot Initiative! Listen to today’s amazing Fair and Balanced show. Also, don’t forget: AE911Truth TRUTH TOUR 2009 Architect Richard Gage and AE911Truth are on tour bringing truth to…

Tuesday, June 2nd, 9 – 10 a.m. Pacific/noon – 1 pm Eastern, http://www.NoLiesRadio.org: I will be interviewing Richard Falk, Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University, author or co-author of 20 books, and United Nations Special Human Rights Rapporteur for the Palestinian Territories. In 2004 Richard Falk wrote the rip-roaring introduction to David Ray Griffin‘s The New Pearl Harbor, thereby doing almost as much as Griffin himself to drastically raise the 9/11 truth movement’s respectability quotient. His most recent appearance on my radio show triggered a minor scandal when the neocon New York Sun, which apparently monitors my shows,…

I usually don’t get along well with dead presidents (call me financially challenged) but JFK decided to make an exception for my upcoming London talk with Niels Harrit. Watch the great new trailer and listen to the amazing presidential endorsement here. Neils Harrit, in case you missed the biggest story of the year, is the lead author of the new nano-thermite paper that puts the last nail in the coffin of the official story of 9/11. I’m honored to be on the program with him in what promises to be a great event. Stay tuned to this space for updates…

Glen Yeadon, author of The Nazi Hydra in America, will be my guest tomorrow on Fair and Balanced. Tune in 9-10 a.m. Pacific (12-1 pm Eastern), NoLiesRadio.org. “The Nazi Hydra was conceived to fill a gap in the literature by providing a detailed overview of the influence of fascism within the United States. The intent and motivation for such a project was twofold: to sound an ominous warning as to the direction this country is taking at the hands of the right wing and to provide a convenient all encompassing source on fascism in the United States for the reader.”…

Tonight on Truth Jihad Radio, 5-7 pm Central, http://www.americanfreedomradio.com (to be archived here) I’ll start out interviewing Micheal Berger, co-writer/producer of the hot new film Life on the Edge of a Bubble: Blowing the American Dream. (Carol Brouillet’s review here). Michael Berger also produced Improbable Collapse: The Demolition of Our Republic, an excellent film about the destruction of the World Trade Center, featuring scientist-heroes Steven Jones, Kevin Ryan, and colleagues. The second-hour guest will be my fellow “temporarily retired college instructor” Jeffrey Grupp, who has been chased out of not one but two universities for political incorrectness! Jeff is the…
