PROGRAMME DETAILS

Date: June 30, 2008 (11 AM – 1.00 PM, Central Time)

Host: Michel Chossudovsky

This Week’s Guests: Daniel Ellsberg [at 12 noon CT] and F. William Engdahl [at 11am, CT]

In 1967 Daniel Ellsberg while at the RAND corporation worked on the Top Secret McNamara study of U.S. Decision-making in Vietnam, 1945-68, which later came to be known as The Pentagon Papers. In 1969, he photocopied the 7,000 page study and gave it to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; in 1971 he gave it to the New York Times, the Washington Post and 17 other newspapers. His trial, on twelve felony counts posing a possible sentence of 115 years, was dismissed in 1973 on grounds of governmental misconduct against him, which led to the convictions of several White House aides and figured in the impeachment proceedings against President Nixon.

Since the end of the Vietnam War, Daniel Ellsberg has continued to be a leading voice of moral conscience, serving as a lecturer, writer and activist on the dangers of the nuclear era, government wrongdoing and the urgent need for patriotic whisteblowing.

To encourage national security whistleblowing, Daniel Ellsberg launched the Truth-Telling Project in 2004 with “A Call to Patriotic Whistleblowing.” The Project aims to reach current government insiders, journalists, lawyers, lawmakers, and the American public with an urgent appeal for revealing the truth about government cover-up and lies before the next war. 

 

F. William Engdahl is a leading analyst of the New World Order, author of the best-selling book on oil and geopolitics, A Century of War: Anglo-American Politics and the New World Order,’ He has written extensively on the financial crisis and has analysed the hidden agenda behind the speculative hikes in the price of crude oil. His writings have been translated into more than a dozen languages. 

William Engdahl is a Research Associate of the Centre for Research on Globalization. His most recent book, published by Global Research, is Seeds of Destruction, The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation.

About Global Research Hosts

Award winning author and economics professor Michel Chossudovsky is Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization, Montreal, which hosts the critically acclaimed website: www.globalresearch.ca.

Michel Chossudovsky has taught at universities and academic institutions in North America, Western Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Pacific. He has undertaken field-research in all major regions of the developing World and has traveled to over 100 countries.

“It was as a young visiting professor at the Catholic University in Santiago, Chile, that Chossudovsky’s interest in “economic repression” was first pricked. Augusto Pinochet’s military junta, which overthrew Salvador Allende in 1973, quadrupled the price of bread and introduced other measures that would now be referred to as “a structural adjustment program.”  Chossudovsky set out, with a doctor, to study the malnourishment resulting from the bread price hike. He wound up with a paper that held the Pinochet regime responsible not only for conventional forms of political repression but for “economic repression” that impoverished three-quarters of Chile’s population. Since then he has documented the purposeful impoverishment of people in dozens of countries.” (Juliet ONeill, The Ottawa Citizen)

He is an active member of the Canadian antiwar movement; he has also worked for several United Nations organizations on missions to Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa and has acted as adviser to governments of  developing countries. He is the author of several international best sellers including The Globalization of Poverty and the New World Order (2003) and America’s “War on Terrorism” (2005) and more than 500 articles. His writings have been translated into more than 25 languages. He is also a contributor to the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
