Cynthia McKinney, Peter Camejo and Mike Ruppert CONFRONTING EMPIRE What are the most urgent issues of our time? How to confront Empire? This is a personal, very honest, moving and sometimes funny talk about the Bush administration, 9/11, the Democratic Party and voting for the lesser of two evils, and regime change abroad AND at home.
The former congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was the honored speaker. She once represented the poor, mostly African American 4th district of Georgia. She was defeated in the 2002 democratic primary after asking what the administration knew prior to 9/11. She was also a critic of the policies of Israel towards the Palestinians. Supporters of Israel openly targeted her for defeat and financially supported her conservative opponent.
She was joined by Green Party candidate for Governor Peter Camejo and 9/11 investigator Mike Ruppert. Gus Newport, civil rights activist and manager of Pacifica station KPFA, led the conversation in Part TWO.
