And last Sunday, the good Mr. Swanson came to Los Angeles for a book event at the home of actress and PDA<\/a> advisory board chair Mimi Kennedy where I joined him, along with KPFK’s<\/a> Lila Garrett and Truthout’s<\/a> Jason Leopold, on a panel to discuss it.<\/p>\n

The over-flow event — impressive for any day in laid back L.A., much less in the middle of record rainfall — was video-taped and is now posted below in seven parts, if you’re interested.<\/p>\n

(If you’re looking for me in the videos below, my opening statement is near the beginning of Part 3, and my closing statement is in Part 7, beginning just before the 4 minute mark. As mentioned in my remarks, please<\/i> support independent media and<\/i>, along with it, the truth<\/i>. You can help do so, among other ways, by buying David’s book here<\/a>.) Enjoy…<\/p>\n
