good john perkins interview

[click image, part one of four-part video]

I particularly liked this interview because, among many other timely and important things about which they speak, Alex Jones manages to express clearly why he's being such a jackass about our environmental emergency. Seems he's not really a jackass about it; it just sounds that way if you don't look into the kernel of it. They also express my sentiment about the Obama presidency; to wit: that he's probably a decent guy who would like to do good things, but is too frightened. Again the CIA is mentioned as part of this fear. So, again, I want to warn you that you should not let your knee jerk up and bash your chin so hard it breaks your teeth whenever Alex Jones is mentioned. Yes, he's a maniac. He is also brilliant. He is also dedicated to truth. He admits his errors. He's a patriot and a lover of humanity. So, it doesn't make you any kind of weird to pay attention to what he says. You have a brain, do you not? You can use it for critical thinking, can you not? So don't be a jackass about Alex Jones. This is a good interview.

I'm trusting that you can navigate your way from the first in the series of four through to wherever you feel like stopping listening. Let me know if you need me to link each, and I will do it when I get a chance.

On a related note, Nancy Youssef tells Bill Moyers about the atmosphere inside the Pentagon... that you don't feel the war even there... it's just business, contracts [letters of marque] being hammered out and signed... no sense of the gravity of this stuff. Just makes Perkins' and Jones' and John Cusacks' [War, Inc.] points come into even better focus.
