| Episode #14 - Cognitive Dissonance (Fantasy versus the Reality of Global Capitalism) |
| ⌚ Sat 10 June 2000 ☻ Naomi Klein |
 Download Hour1 Download Hour2 Are the politicians and corporate heads who are pushing the neoliberal global agenda evil, psycho- or socio-paths, delusional and out of touch with reality, or what? You'll probably ask yourself that same question when you hear the material in this week's program. |
In our first hour, we look at some of the worldviews held by the proponents of the New World Order - Naomi Klein talks about "brand cocoons" "corporate soul" "cool hunting" and why this has spurred a student movement against global capitalism. Then we'll hear excerpts from a member of the trilateral commission analyze what he calls the "backlash against gobalization" and last, a report on a federal intelligence network aimed at anti-globalization activists. In our second hour, we present 2 documentaries on the effect of the WTO in Central America, and these make it pretty clear why so many are fighting globalization with such energy and commitment.
