From the Archive: Peter Dale Scott Discusses the Deep State & the American War Machine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5SdFHVpByM
We speak to Dr. Peter Dale Scott on his latest book, "American War Machine." We discuss the politically correct atmosphere in education, CIA drug trafficking, assassination, deep politics and the drug war in Mexico.
About the Guest
Peter Dale Scott is a Canadian-born poet, former diplomat, and former English professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
A son of the Canadian poet and constitutional lawyer F. R. Scott and painter Marian Dale Scott, he has been critical of American foreign policy since the era of the Vietnam War. Scott was a signatory in 1968 of the "Writers and Editors War Tax Protest" pledge, in which participants vowed to refuse tax payments in protest against the Vietnam War. He spent four years (1957–1961) with the Canadian diplomatic service. He retired from the UC Berkeley faculty in 1994.
Scott has written about the role of the "deep state" (as opposed to the "public state"). Rejecting the label of "conspiracy theory", he has used the phrase "deep politics" to describe his political concerns.
His book, The Road to 9/11 (2007), deals with geopolitical context of events leading to 9/11, and argues "how U.S. foreign policy since the 1960s has led to partial or total cover-ups of past domestic criminal acts, including, perhaps, the catastrophe of 9/11." His books The Road to 9/11 and American War Machine was reviewed by Bernard Norlain, a retired French five-star General of the Air Force. In all, his books have been translated into French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Bahasa Indonesia. His articles have been translated into 16 languages, including Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Chinese, and Japanese.
Of Scott's book, American War Machine: Deep Politics, the CIA Global Drug Connection, and the Road to Afghanistan (2010), Daniel Ellsberg commented: "I said of Scott's last brilliant take on this subject, Drugs, Oil and War, that 'It makes most academic and journalistic explanations of our past and current interventions read like government propaganda written for children.'

From the Archive: William Engdahl Discusses the Politics of GMOs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ITXzH8NTdk
From the Archive
*Before the Guadalajara Geopolitics Institute Podcast officially began, I had conducted previous interviews in the classroom. They will eventually be re-posted here.
About the Interview
William Engdahl discusses the politics and the danger of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their use as a weapon by the US Government and private interests.
The main points covered:
• Rockefeller Foundation funded the Nazi eugenics program (a discredited pseudo-science).
*Side note: Germany in some areas actually copied the California model
• Rockefeller, Dupont, Colgate developed the eugenics or genetics program, which underlies the GMO program.
• Nothing good can come of GMOs; they are a poison; potential for global food supply domination.
• Africa can feed the whole world with natural crops (UN suggests up to 12 billion people).
• GMOs will make it impossible to feed 12 billion people.
• GMO harvest yields are far inferior, create superweeds.
• Monsanto forces use of "Terminator" seeds. It takes seven years to revert GM field back to GM-free field.
• GMOs are a US National Security prerogative. Biotechnology is synonym for genetic modification.
• Agribusiness created by Rockefellers in 1950's out of Harvard Business School to control food supply.
