Government as a tool of wealthy and powerful interests is nothing new; rather it is the primary reason that governments exist. If you don't believe that consider this simple fact: corporations and plutocrats have caused the death and emmiseration of millions of people, yet how many CEO's are there on death row or in the burgroning prisons of America? Law enforcement agencies have most often been used against political dissidents, and as we will hear tonight, the FBI was created to suppress radical movements that challenged the plutocracy. And nothing has changed. Tonight, we will devote most of the program to a talk by activist and scholar Ward churchill on the history of political repression against movements of equality and freedom in the United States, Then, a report on a miner's strike in Ontario, where we can see in a current context, the same historical dymanics that Churchill discusses, and, also, what it takes to defeat this unholy alliance of corporate and state power. And to close, the facts behind that swindle called electricity deregulation, which is now plaging California, and could be coming to your state soon.
