October 19: Geoff Millard with Iraq Veterans Against the War on Presidential Debates and IVAW Actions, Economist and Researcher Max Wolff on Presidential Campaign Disconnect and Else
I
spoke with Geoffrey
Millard, DC Chapter President of Iraq
Veterans Against the War, about IVAW's participation in an organized
and coordinated (with the police) act of non-violent civil resistance at the
last Presidential debate at Hofstra University during which a number of IVAW
members were arrested and physically wounded. (See article and video: IVAW
members arrested while attempting to present questions to Obama and McCain >>).
IVAW can use your support
in any way possible. Please take the time to learn about the mission, actions,
and intentions, of IVAW.
I
spoke with Max Wolff
about the disconnect between the economic crisis and the lack of meaningful
discussion in the presidential race, the passing of The Emergency Economic Stabilization
Act of 2008 and the causes for the crash of the market, as well as what we should
be expecting in the near and distant future. Max is an economist and free lance
researcher/writer. His work regularly appears in the Huffington
Post, Asia
Times, The
Prudent Bear and many other international outlets. His work can
also been seen regularly on his site GlobalMacroScope.
Based in NYC, Max does contract research on international financial risks and
opportunities while teaching in the New
School University's Graduate Program in International Affairs.
During the last half hour I chatted it up with a caller about the value of
the dollar and some other things and i played an audio clip of Congressman Dennis
Kucinich on the House floor talking about his skeptical feelings regarding a
call for secrecy in certain house hearings - which, he alleges, are to discuss
martial law - and his general impressions on the trend for a national security
state.
