Michael
Parenti packs so much knowledge and
insight into a small space it's astounding. This is not taught in
school
or anywhere else.
Just like in personal or business relationships, IF YOU DON'T KNOW REAL HISTORY, YOU WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING! This is NOT some boring history lesson. What I especially like about Parenti is his explanations are strikingly obvious and transparent, not mysterious and complex. If you ask yourself "why does the government do this to us citizens?" and "how could those politicians be so stoopid?" and "how can so many people believe this media disinformation and propaganda?" Dr. Parenti will open your eyes. MParenti_Democratic_Gov_vs_the_State+.mp3
The three
most fiery
of Parenti's talks, the difference
between "government" (form) and the "National Security
State" (substance), including all the Intelligence agencies and the
Pentagon. Parenti describes RATIONAL Functions of Fascism,
beyond Hitler's "theatrics" with "Blood and Soil" and other occult
schtick.and Michael Parenti - Security State.mp3 and Parenti__Functions_of_Fascism.mp3 Parenti and Dave Emory - Fascism's ties to Capitalism (mp3) Listen to this all the way thru. You will be surprised about what you thought you knew about the world. (Alex Jones refers to "the Illuminati" as an Intelligence organization, which is what the Nazi SS was and what the CIA is. But in typical "John Birch Society" worldview, he calls this "communism".)

Michael_Parenti__Psycho-History.mp3 A talk about how political machinations of the ruling class are reduced by pundits to psychological analysis of the individual. Many years before Bush was "psychoanalyzed" as an alcoholic and megalomaniac by the press, and critics of Bush were "psychoanalyzed" has suffering from "Bush Derangement Syndrome".

Michael Parenti was a devout anti-Communist as a child, like most Americans. He gradually got involved in protests against US policy in Vietnam. After getting beaten up and almost killed by police, he naïvely noticed that police were protecting the establishment but not Americans' hallowed First Amendment rights. He was also railroaded out of his college professorship for free speech and railroaded in court. He began thinking about class bias, because the police were defending the ruling class policies. The Constitution did not apply, when it comes to normal people. Friends told Michael his observations about the economic-political-power relationships, and "who benefits?", were "Marxist questions" or a "radical analysis" of "root causes". "Radical" means "root". When you wonder WHY things are the way they are, why there are drastic power and wealth disparities in a supposedly classless society, why billionaire elites control govt, commerce, and media, to serve their interests, and you point out the dirty deeds they DO to maintain and consolidate power and wealth, that's "Marxist". Michael then discovered Das Kapital, by Karl Marx which critically examined Capitalism, and where it was headed in the future. If you know someone who's been unemployed or underemployed so long they have just given up, while Wall Street and DC says "there's still some slack in the labor market" as they said on 07-02-04, in other words "workers are still insufficiently beaten back", and you ask yourself "what's wrong with this picture", you're already on the same page. Slavery is complete ownership of a human being. Capitalism is "time-share" ownership of human labor, all the benefits, none of the costs. MParenti_intvw-KBOO-Corp_War_Against_Democracy.mp3 Historian and political
analyst, Parenti discusses the Roman Republic and Julius Caesar, from
the viewpoint of the common people --- "the mob" or "the rabble" -- as
the aristocrat historians called them. Lots of humor, and
relevant analogies.
Parenti introduced at U of Vermont
upon the 25 year anniversary of him being fired. He was
popular with the faculty and staff, but not with
the Board of Trustees. Well beyond
what I already
knew about Mass Media, which is is neither Liberal nor strictly
Conservative, but is OWNED by the ruling elites and serves their narrow
interests.
Hey Dittoheads -- this is for you, too! Michael Parenti discusses
the real intentions of our Founding Fathers, from their own statements
and
actions. Blows up a lot of what
you think about
America from history class and "common knowledge".
Part 2, a radically shocking explanation of World War II than what you've always been told. England and France and US elites HELPED Hitler. Part 3, a short talk on Mumia
abu-Jamal,
prize-winning writer and activist, recently taken off Death
Row.
(I sent Dr. Parenti an email to let him
know what I'm doing, taking his stuff and introducing people to his
insights. He was OK with that. If you can't beat the media,
become the media.)I read much of the entire Habeus Corpus filing online, and official court transcripts and unofficial reports by court witnesses. Overwhelming evidence Jamal is a political prisoner who was railroaded on a murder charge for his beliefs and outspokenness.
