Download Hour1 Download Hour2Howard Zinn and Carwell James speak on the myths and realities of US military intervention past and present, and its clear but often unspoken connection to multinational oil interests.

For the first ninety minutes, a talk by Howard Zinn on the myth of the Cold War. For the second half of our second hour, we hear Carwell James speaking about Project Underground, an NGO which defends indigenous people resisting pollution and attacks by mining and oil industries in Ecuador. We hear how where the poor are fighting back against the IMF-mandated looting of their country by transnational corporations and banks.
Thanks to Sue Supriano for the Carwell James interview.
