#512 -- SCADs and Conspiracy Theories, Part 1 (R)
Dec. 24, 2017, 8:02 a.m.
Public policy scholar Lance deHaven-Smith discusses the concepts of "conspiracy theories" and SCADs--State Crimes Against Democracy. "Conspiracy theory" is a pejorative term introduced by the CIA. SCADs, though, are real crimes that high government officials (often conspiring together) committed.
Part 1 of this interesting talk discusses both concepts and tells some little-known facts about famous SCADs--including Watergate and candidate Nixon's scuttling of the Vietnam peace talks in 1968.

Today we continue our coverage of the Balfour Legacy Conference held on November 11th In Cambridge. But first we take a look at the emerging story involving the confession of Former US National Security Advisor Michael Flynn to lying to the FBI about efforts of the incoming Trump Administration to help Israel avoid censure at the UN Security Council concerning its illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land. The mainstream media is handling this as a story involving Flynnâs collusion with the Russians, but you hear or read little about the fact that much of this involvement is at the behest of Israel. As usual, the media is quick to blame the Russians, and slow to include Israelâs heavy-handed involvement. We'll read Ali Abunimah's exposé of this in Electronic Intifada.
Following that, first, we'll hear Leila Farsakh, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, who is also a senior research fellow at Birzeit University in the West Bank of Palestine. Leila gives her Introduction and Overview of 100 years of the Balfour Declaration.
Then, as promised last week, we'll hear Nancy Murray, longtime activist for Palestinian Rights, a co-founder of the Gaza Mental Health Foundation, and a key organizer of this Balfour Legacy Conference. Nancy speaks on the Consequences of the Balfour Declaration ... for the USA.
This is the FOURTH of five consecutive shows covering the conference "Balfourâs Legacy: Confronting the Consequences," held on November 11th at the First Parish Church in Cambridge MA.

Billionaires Feast on $1.5 Trillion Tax Cut Threatening Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
Dec. 21, 2017, 3:07 p.m.
Billionaires Feast on $1.5 Trillion Trump Tax Cut Leaves 99% with Scraps from their Table and Threatens Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
featuring
Dean Baker, formerly was an assistant professor of economics at Bucknell University. He is currently a co-director of the Center for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) in Washington, D.C.
and
Alex Lawson, Executive Director, Social Security Works
Only the Billionaires will win bigly with this tax cut for the rich which offers a sugar coated poisoned pill of benefits for the working class with threats to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid down the road to pay for their party. The massive cut to Corporate Taxes will be permanent while decreases in the individual rates will be eroded by inflation and then end in 8 years. The final bill also limits deductions of state and local taxes only to $10,000/yr. while exempting more millionaires from paying the Estate Tax. According to all credible estimates, Republican claims that the $1.5 Trillion deficit over 10 years will covered by increased economic growth are over-blown. It will leave a $1 Trillion deficit which activates $40 billion/year cuts in Medicare. Massive looming federal deficits will also give the Republicans an excuse to attack safety net programs with Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security heading their hit list.
