New World Notes - Obey and Keep Calm (Second of two parts)

This week on New World Notes: radio program #418, March 8, 2016, Tuesday from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. (and on Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.), host Kenneth Dowst presents Part 2 of Temujin Doran's film, Obey: How the Rise of Mass Propaganda Killed Populism, adapted to radio.

It's about the military, political, and economic crimes of the Corporate State. It features readings from from Chris Hedges' 2010 book, Death of the Liberal Class.

This week we'll begin with some words about our Syria war-fever (recorded in 2013 and, alas. still timely) and a reading of Chidanand Rajghatta's essay, "Why America Cannot Live Without Wars." Then on to the second half of Temujin Doran's film, Obey.

This installment was previously broadcast, as NWN #288, in September 2013.

Special note from Kenneth Dowst to WWUH listeners:

It's Spring Pledge Week on WWUH. On Tuesday, March 8 I'll be broadcasting an hour-long version of the show from noon to 1 PM. We'll play this week's installment plus some live commentary by me and also a bit of music. If you phone in a pledge to the station during this hour, I'll thank you on air--or keep your pledge anonymous if you prefer. Of course, you can phone in a pledge at any other time, instead. You can also securely pledge online. Phone in your pledge to 1-800-444-WWUH (9984). Your support helps keep New World Notes and other fine alternative programming on the air. Many thanks!
