I haven’t gotten to go to the phones for weeks on the KPFK/Pacifica Radio BradCast, so that’s what we did on this week’s show. No guests. Just me, a few rants, lots of callers (and, of course, Desi Doyen and the latest Green News Report).
The rants included more on the mad media misinformation/neo-con war-baiting over Ukraine (which, thankfully, it appears Obama no longer seems to be falling for or taking the bait on); the Democrats woeful 2014 campaign plans and — the one that got ALL the phone lines ringing off the hook — the rapidly increasing media disinformation about e-cigs.
Lots of good calls, but my favorite on that last was from “David in Los Angeles”. I think his opinion may be a nearly perfect distillation of the entire, insane backlash against the public health miracle that is vaping. David describes his concern: “We don’t want to encourage the behavior of smoking, even if its not harmful.” My question to him is, “Why?” He explains: “because it’s the perceived behavior that is negative.” You’ll have to tune in to see how that call, and all the others, worked out.
It was a very lively show this week. Hope you’ll enjoy it…

Thank you for having the integrity to challenge the “official” line on Ukraine and Russia.
Apparently someone’s go to. And thank you, Joyce.
Hey Brad, I haven’t heard this concern mentioned, RE: VAPING,and it’s IMPORTANT. If vapers (?) are forced to go to “smoking zones” their health is endangered by all that second hand smoke, which is the WORST kind! There’s your health risk right there!
