The disparity of income and wealth in this country was increased by the
first round of bank bail-outs. On Jan. 27, 2009, in front of an audience
of Republicans, Scott explained in great detail the necessity to
construct future bail-outs to diminish that gap for the sake of
democracy. This is a lucid analysis and a well researched guideline for
all who want to influence future financial policies.
This is also the only recording of a very unusual event. The San
Francisco Republican Round Table crossed party lines and invited Peter
Dale Scott. Scott is a former Canadian diplomat and professor of
Literature at the University of California, Berkeley. His latest books
are: The Road to 9/11: Wealth, Empire, and the Future of America,
published in 2007 by the University of California Press, and The War
Conspiracy: JFK, 9/11, and the Deep Politics of War, published in 2008
by the Mary Ferrell Foundation Press. His website is www.peterdalescott.net
The Republic Round Table meets in a SF hotel. About 60 members, some
with recognizable names, came to hear him. The only media in attendance
were TUC Radio and, as guest, the former Ramparts editor Warren Hinkle
accompanied by his basset hound.
