Mines produce more toxic waste than any other industry but have no obligation for clean-up. Their privileges are based on an arcane law, the 1872 mining act. It says that any person, including corporations, can stake a mining claim on public land, pay $5 per acre and pay zero in royalties. Larry Tuttle heads the Center for Environmental Equity in Portland. He wrote a Mining Activist Guide available at http://www.teleport.com/~cee/ A great web site on mining is: http://www.mineralpolicy.org

Alex Carey: Corporations and Propaganda – The Attack on Democracy Part ONE of TWO

For a 30 second Preview/Promo click HERE

This is TUC Radio’s all time most popular program.
