Talk Nation Radio is a 29-minute show, with a new episode released every Wednesday at TalkNationRadio.org and available free to any station. The host, David Swanson, interviews guests — usually one per show, occasionally two — on a wide range of topics but with a particular focus on peace, justice, and political action. Guests have included authors, artists, activists, and elected officials. The length of the interviews allows some in-depth exploration of topics often under-reported elsewhere. All past shows are available on the website.
Talk Nation Radio is syndicated by Pacifica Network and is free to any station or website. Please ask your local stations to air it. There’s a new 29-minute show here every Wednesday.

Lindsay Koshgarian is the Program Director of the National Priorities Project, where she oversees NationalPriorities.org. Lindsay’s work on the federal budget includes analysis of the federal budget process and politics, military spending, and specifically how federal budget choices for different spending priorities and taxation interact.
I listened to Lindsay on Free Speech TV this morning and was immediately impressed with her positive presentation from her role on the National Priorities Project of the Institute for Policy Studies — neither of which I was aware of!
Naturally, I looked up NPP – IPS and likewise found it to be something very interesting and potentially valuable to turning our situation around — by which I mean turning it around from this current Disguised Global Crony Capitalist EMPIRE, which is only nominally HQed in, and merely ‘posing’ as, our formerly “promising”, and sometimes progressive country (PKA) America.
In what I would call the Mission Statement of NPP I read this “We can harness that power to make our lives better, to create a more just and humane society. On the other hand, that power can be used to perpetuate destructive cycles of war, militarism, violence and oppression that go back to our nation’s founding and before.”
Which caused me to “edit for effect” a seminal portion of your Mission Statement and to better effect the strategy, and more importantly the ‘strategic narrative’ of our much needed change from Empire to “functioning democracy”:
“On the other hand, that power can be used to perpetuate destructive cycles of war, militarism, violence, and the oppression and tyranny of an Empire that go back to our nation’s founding in a “Revolution Against Empire” in 1776 [Justin du Rivage] and before.”
In other words, Lindsay, ‘we the American people’ need to fire a loud, public, sustained, ‘in-the-streets’, but totally non-violent “SHOUT (not shot) heard round the world” to ignite an essential Second American people’s peaceful completion of our “Political/economic & social Revolution Against EMPIRE”.
