I was so busy this week, I failed to post my Wednesday show on KPFK/Pacifica Radio here in Los Angeles. This week, I covered the latest news in the revelations about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce plot to use tools developed for the “War on Terror” to target progressive organizations, citizens and journalists (including yours truly and my family) here in the U.S., with an attempted smear campaign to discredit by planting fraudulent documents, infiltrating with “fake personas” via social media, and employing cyber-snooping tactics against the Chamber’s perceived political enemies.
The show includes parts of my interview from Monday’s Mike Malloy Show with Congressman Hank Johnson (D, GA-4) who is leading an effort in Congress to try and bring some accountability to the conspirators in the proposed $12 million plot hatched for the U.S. Chamber, the world’s most powerful Rightwing lobbying group, their law firm Hunton & Williams, one of the nation’s largest and most powerful, and three U.S. government contracted cyber-security, intelligence and data firms, HBGary Federal, Palantir Technologies and Berico Technologies.

P.S. Still looking for a name for this weekly Wednesday, half-hour, usually-live show heard at 3:30pm PT each week on air in Southern California and around the world via KPFK.org. Got any suggestions?
P.P.S. Here’s the podcast RSS feed for the Wednesday KPFK show, in case you wish to subscribe (for free) and get notified about new archives sooner than I’m sometimes able to do here!

In case you have not heard, almost 1200 votes magically appeared in Winnebago county heavily tilted for Prosser. Better than 70%. Prosser now is ahead by around 40 votes.
Let the games begin..what a travesty. The best democracy money can buy…how pathetic.

even with these 2 huge “finds” prosser is less than 2 votes per precinct ahead…those votes could easily be in the “undervotes” (votes the machine does not read,examples an x ,an oval filled in by red pen)
HAND COUNT THE ENTIRE STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Karen – As ever, thanks for the info. But please, if you don’t mind, try to post it to the relevant threads (in this case, the previous WI thread would have been useful.)
I call it “The Chamber of Corruption Plot” against you Brad.
It has been my name for them long before I heard they targeted you and your family.
What about the “Bradcast?” You use that already when you cover for Mike Malloy. I like it.
Brad. I’d like to second Lora. Either “Bradcast” or “The Bradcast”.
