Starting this week, the Global Research News Hour debuts special summer episodes. The July 8th edition features two talks from the Geopolitical Economy Research Group Conference. Binoy Kampmark was a Commonwealth Scholar at Selwyn College, Cambridge. He is currently Senior Lecturer at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Kampmark's speech invokes the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement as a case study of the democratizing power of internet platforms like wikileaks to introduce radical transparency and oversight to State Operations. Paul Zarembka is professor of Economics at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He has been the general editor for Research in Political Economy since 1977, and edited the 2008 volume The Hidden History o 9/11. In his speech, Zarembka argues that the term 'conspiracy theory' is an anti-intellectual concept and makes his point by invoking a few of the problems with the 9/11 official story, and lessons from a history before 'Conspiracy Theory' became a pejorative.
