Desi and I are ducking out for a short breather over the Independence Day holiday. But, before we go, I appeared recently on Free Forum, hosted by longtime broadcaster and great interviewer TERRENCE MCNALLY.
So, with McNally’s kind permission on today’s BradCast, we bring you that recent interview, originally recorded in studio on June 24, 2018 at KPFK, our flagship Pacifica Radio Network station in Los Angeles, in which the tables are turned a bit on me.
I respond to his questions about my background, the bizarre circumstances — and, yes, election chicanery — which helped lead me deep into the world of investigative blogging, broadcasting and muckraking some 15 years ago.
We also discuss detailed concerns about the reported (and still unverified) results of the earth-shaking 2016 Presidential election, how jurisdictions around the country are now moving to new computerized voting and tabulation systems in its wake (even as those systems, with computer-marked, barcoded ballots will only sever to make public oversight of results worse, not better) and what Americans can do right now to fight like hell to assure they are able to vote and have their votes counted as per intent in the crucial 2018 midterms.
Much thanks to Terrence for allowing us to re-purpose his program for today’s BradCast! Please see and download his many years of insightful interviews with tons of fascinating and much smarter folks than I, and sign up for his weekly email announcement list, at his website, AWorldThatJustMightWork.com! You can also hear his show on weekends at ProgressiveVoices.com and TuneIn.
We’ll be back with ya after the holiday weekend! Please stay safe and, somehow, cool, until our return!
Happy Independence Day (Independence From What?)
Bill Gates loves to answer tough questions. He even has a website that invites you to ask one, which – if chosen – will be answered in February:
THE TEN TOUGHEST QUESTIONS WE GET
I’m positive he’s going to answer MY question, because it’s just too important not to answer, especially with the Russian/Republican threat looming this November:
Wouldn’t hand-marking and hand-counting our ballots be safer then using computers?
My question was around #2150.
By the way, great show today Brad!
No matter what you think about Jill Stein, her battle to help prove Hillary’s election was messed up was very illuminating on many levels.
