Here is yet another Michael Parenti talk, and this one on The Gangster Nature of the State, using a lot of JFK assassination information. It's especially interesting to me because it is further evidence against the poseurs Chomsky and Cockburn who have been irking me relentlessly for years. If they are quiet, their acolytes are not. It really is horrible I should know so much about them and so little about Parenti... other than just realizing this morning while hunting down pictures of him that I've had an interesting conversation with him at the Peet's near Black Oak Books in Berkeley a couple of times... completely unaware of who he was then... just liked his self-assurance. That made him noteworthy. I've got a little better picture now, and so will you if you download [audio, one hour] these:

Part One ~~~ Part Two
As an aside, I find it fascinating that Parenti is such an avid defender of Slobodan Milosevic, insisting that the stuff we've heard about him is untrue. I'm no expert on Michael Parenti, but he seems to go to a great deal of trouble to speak truthfully, even when you can tell he wants to treat leftists more kindly, and I can't feature him throwing all caution to the wind to defend a genocidal madman if that man were indeed a genocidal madman, or if he even felt a wisp of doubt. It doesn't fit the profile emerging. I have been slapped silly by all the lies we've been fed as truth, and so have you. Bits of information are spun so hard and so long that they are giant cocoons to unravel and reality finally pops out to smack one in the kisser. So. So Parenti may have unraveled the Slobodan Milosevic cocoon. I do not know.
