Does America Stage Terror Attacks?
April 6, 2013, 1:49 p.m.
"The United States does stage false terror attacks."
This is the contention of Michigan lawyer Kurt Haskell, a passenger on the Northwest Airlines Flight 253, a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on December 25th 2009. The aircraft was targeted, it is claimed by the authorities, by Al-Qaeda in the form of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, now known as the âunderwear bomberâ. However, Kurt and his wife Lori witnessed Umar, whose father had previously reported as a terrorist, being led on to the plane without a passport. In this episode of the Smells Like Human Spirit Podcast, Kurt recounts his tale, details what happened when he was visited at his office by FBI agents, and discusses his run for Congress last year. Enjoy!

#266 -- A World Without Cheap Oil: Changes We Need to Make
April 5, 2013, 3:50 p.m.
In this classic speech, urbanist JAMES HOWARD KUNSTLER explores some of the changes America will have to make to deal with a world of less oil and much more expensive oil. All these changes will be difficult--but some sound better than what we have now. Commuter rail lines, Main Street stores, and no more Wal-Mart? Sounds OK so far. (Conflict with China over who gets Canada's oil? Possibly not so good.)

What would Martin Luther King Tell Us Today
April 5, 2013, 9:29 a.m.
This is my interpretation of what King might say to us today. Yes, there are many examples of programs like this online, yet this one I think you'll agree is quite differant. coming from someone who isn't only conscious of poverty but living within its confines, this analysis of King from today gives a perspective that most middle class leftists hardly if ever touch.
