  • Denial of Justice! Author Mark Shaw talks Dorothy Kilgallen. JFK

    Informative. Inspiring. Controversial. Author Mark Shaw talks about his most recent book, DENIAL OF JUSTICE. This book continues to expose the (cover-up) surrounding the investigative reporting done by What's My Line TV Star and media icon, Dorothy KilGallen regarding the JFK assassination. Her death is more than suspicious. It seems murderous. Did she know too much about the JFK assassination? What Mark reveals in his book proves, YES.

    "Dorothy was one of the greatest women writers in the world"

  • Blackmail in American Politics. Insurance Monopolies. Deep State, Tea bags and Karl Denninger

    Karl Denninger is widely considered a founding-member of the tea party.   Soon after it began to grow to national prominence he began to distance himself as he say alignment too similar to the national Republican party.

  • Melvin Goodman: Trump war on US governance. 42 years in US intelligence and DC

    Intelligence expert, Melvin Allan Goodman is a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy in Washington, DC.   Author of the widely acclaimed: Whistleblower at the CIA, Mel, ended his decades long career (1960-1990) career at the CIA (senior analyst and Division Chief), as he vehemently began opposing the growing ethical ground of developing biased culture at the CIA.   Strongly opposing the appointment of Robert Gates as CIA Director (1992),  Goodman charged before a Senate hearing that Gates had subverted "the process and the ethics of intelligence."   Melvin, an adjunct professor of international relations at Johns Hopkins University has currently contributed to the publication:  "Rocket Man: Nuclear Madness and the mind of Donald Trump".   Melvin's 42-year government career included tours at the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of State, and the Department of Defense’s National War College, where he was a professor of international security.  His books on international security also include:  “National Insecurity: The Cost of American Militarism;” “Bush League Diplomacy: How the Neoconservatives are Putting the World at Risk;” “The Wars of Eduard Shevardnadze;”  “The Phantom Defense: America’s Pursuit of the Star Wars Illusion;” “The End of Superpower Conflict in the Third World,” and “Gorbachev’s Retreat: The Third World.”

    His articles and opeds have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Baltimore Sun, Foreign Policy; Harper’s Magazine; the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists; and the Foreign Service Journal.  His TV appearances include the PBS Newshour; the Amy Goodman Show; NBC; and CBS.  His lectures have included:  World Affairs Council and the Council on Foreign Relations.  

    “Whistleblower at the CIA offers a fascinating glimpse into the secret, behind-the-scenes world of U.S. intelligence. Melvin A. Goodman’s first-person account into the systematic manipulation of intelligence at the CIA underscores why whistleblowing is so important, and why the institutional obstacles to it are so intense. Goodman exposes a lot of dirty linen, boldly naming names—not only Agency insiders but journalistic gatekeepers—a very enlightening backstage account of major historical events and how the public has been kept uninformed about them: dangerously so, in terms of our democracy and of many lost lives. Like the high level assessments he was trained to produce at the CIA, Whistleblower draws from many sources. It is part memoir, part analysis of open sources. At its core it’s an invaluable historical exposé, a testimony to integrity and conscience, and a call for the U.S. intelligence community to keep its top leaders in check. Urgent, timely, and deeply recommended.”

    —Daniel Ellsberg

    His forthcoming book is American Carnage: Donald Trump’s War on Intelligence” (City Lights Publishers, 2019)

  • "America: WAKE UP" - Dr. Eric Karlstrom talks Deep State. Vietnam. 911.

    Dr. Eric T. Karlstrom is professor emeritus of Geography at California State University, Stanislaus - where he began his teaching career in 1990.  

    As a full time university instructor of 30 years, what Karlstrom accumulated, discovered and recovered is shocking.  He is now making his research available to the general public in a most discerning manner.  Whereas he states that: "The information herein proves that the catastrophic, human-caused global warming scare is a scientific fraud and that this fraud helps to advance various political, economic, corporate, and military/intelligence objectives."   LINK

    Prior to his work at CSUS, Eric served as an Assistant Professor at Northern Arizona University, a Visiting Professor at The University of Kansas, and as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Wyoming.  At CSUS, in addition to teaching his core courses on physical and environmental geography (Geomorphology, Climatology, Introduction to Physical Geography, Human Ecology), it is noted, that he also directed the honors course:  "State of the World: The Environmental Perspective".

    Eric holds the following credentials: Ph.D. (Soils and Geomorphology), Department of Geography, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada (1981); M.A. (Soils-Physical Geography), Department of Geography, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming (1977);  B.S. (Anthropology).

    Apart from his accomplishments in the academia of climate and geography, Eric is a proponent of free and just media.  For far over a decade now, he has become a staunch vocal opponent of corrupt media, government and banking.  The following quote of hisresearch in this passion (outside of his academic fields of expertise) is best summed as: "I DO THIS AS A  PUBLIC SERVICE". 

    "Since the corporate media now presents us mostly with “info-tainment" / propaganda rather than facts and truth, it now seems incumbent upon citizens / researchers to discern the truth from many various sources and disseminate the facts to their fellow citizens.  As an educator, this is my goal.  It is my hope that, fortified with accurate information, the American citizens will have the wisdom and ability to implement the solution, articulated by Jefferson over 200 years ago:

    “THE TWO ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS AND GOVERNMENT, SO LET US TIE THE SECOND DOWN WITH THE CHAINS OF THE CONSTITUTION SO THE SECOND WILL NOT BECOME A LEGALIZED VERSION OF THE FIRST.”
