Dmitry Orlov: Will microchip crisis take down US empire?

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE Writer, engineer, and collapse expert Dmitry Orlov has been arguing for 25 years that the USA is heading for a disaster worse than the one Russia suffered after the implosion of the USSR.

It is very energy-hungry and extremely capital-intensive. It relies on a steady,…

Kevin Barrett

Fri.  11/30/12, 3-5 pm Central,  American Freedom Radio  (archived here.)  First hour guest: My fellow ex-prof witch hunt target – academic freedom icon Ward Churchill. Five and a half years ago, Wis. State Rep.

On September 11th, 2012, newspapers reported that Ward Churchill’s appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court had been rejected. (The Orwellian perps obviously picked that date for propaganda purposes.) Time for…

Who’s right? Listen and decide. And don’t miss second-hour guest James Kunstler’s brilliant-as-usual 4th of July birthday card. * * *Listen to this show (Franklin Lamb, Muad’dib, James Kunstler) Truth Jihad Radio Wed. 1/29/11, 1-3 pm Central, American Freedom Radio…

They Hate Our Meaning: Explaining the West’s Suicidal Embrace of Islamophobia

Kevin Barrett

“Why don’t we hang ourselves?”  “With what?”  –Waiting for Godot  “The demonstrators filling the streets in Cairo, Tunis, Tripoli, Algiers, Manama, Sana and Tehran give every indication of dreaming dreams not entirely dissimilar from our own. Rather than rejecting modernity, as radical Islamists such as Osama bin Laden have urged, these protesters want a bigger slice of what modernity has to offer. Though not guaranteeing harmonious coexistence, this convergence of aspirations does suggest that a cosmic clash of civilizations is avoidable.”  – Andrew Bacevich Bacevich, a conservative turned critic of American imperial folly, offers instructive insight into the limits of…
