New World Notes - Crime Potpourri
This week on New World Notes: radio program #252, January 1, 2013, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., host Kenneth Dowst looks at crime on several levels: retail (the Newtown murders), wholesale (the entertainment industry), bigger wholesale (the financial system), and factory-direct (the Federal Government).
Segments include:
- KD's reflections on the Newtown murders and why the proposed new gun-control laws have zero relevance
- a new David Rovics song on the Entertainment Biz
- a short movie by Econ4on the government-assisted crimes of Wall Street
- a good essay by Paul Craig Roberts on Hugo Chavez vs. the Washington DC gang
* Note to broadcast stations: UNbleeped version of the show's audio includes the song lyric, "It's the rich who line their pockets while the rest of us get screwed." The BLEEPed version bleeps out "screwed."
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "boardwalk") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.
