Stolen Elections – Professor Mark Crispin Miller, NYU

By Films on DVD

Miller writes in his book, Fooled Again, that both the 2000 and 2004 elections were stolen. He presents massive documentation, backed by 56 pages of notes, of how this was done. In this talk he describes the mindset of both the major parties and the media that allowed the theft to happen and go unchallenged.

Mark Crispin Miller is professor of media studies at New York University and the author of the book: Fooled Again, How the Right Stole the 2004 Elections. This talk was recorded [ . . . ]

How Economic Shock Therapy Backfired in Iraq

The wave of privatization, instituted by Paul Bremer and reinforced by the International Monetary Fund, will not easily be reversed since the new government needs an impossible to reach majority to undo Bremer’s laws and enact the wishes of the Iraqi people. The IMF, the US government, the Paris Club and other international organizations are making a cruel joke of the promise of self determination in Iraq.
