Tom’s intro starts with these words from Ray:

“Two weeks ago I celebrated my fiftieth year in Washington D.C. … reflecting on all the changes I’ve seen, it seems there’s one change that dwarfs all the others in importance; and that is, simply, that we no longer have in any real sense, a free media. That’s big. That could not be bigger!”

Ray talks about his recent interactions with university students and others, as he speaks about the post-9/11 world, alternative media, the Fawning Corporate Media, lies about UN weapons inspectors, the congenital birth defect of the CIA, and former General/CIA director/now professor David Petraeus.

WMPG – Southern Maine Community Radio: “Big Talk”


http://www.wmpg.org/archivefiles/bigtalk.htm (26 min.)

Topics include: Should Truman’s Baby (the CIA) be Thrown Out With the (covert action) Bathwater He Never Intended; Was it Ray or the agency that got thrown off its horse/course on the Road to Damascus (oops, meant Baghdad)?; The Saving Grace – CIA Analysts’ Role in Stopping War on Iran Planned for 2008 (read, for example, George W. Bush’s lament about this in a part of his memoir that he must have written himself); WikiLeaks and Julian Assange; the Phoenix-like rise of a “Fifth Estate” from the ashes of the Fourth.

Ray notes that it was quite refreshing to be beyond the Capital Beltway where folks can’t seem to pull themselves out of the quicksand of faux-issues like Benghazi.
