294: Hypocrisy and Devil’s Advocacy

Occupy C-Realm

KMO welcomes Liz Reitzig of Raw Milk Freedom Riders back to the program to talk about the FDA’s campaign against raw milk and families who trust their own judgment more than they trust that of federal agencies in state of regulatory capture by giant agribusiness corporations. KMO plays devil’s advocate and mounts a strong challenge to his own libertarian ideals as they discuss the presidential candidacy of Ron Paul. KMO brings in the voices of Joel Salitin, Sheriff Richard Mack, and Mike Daisy to put the raw milk question into a larger context.

I have to say i was very disappointed to hear Liz and KMO espousing the right wing Ayn Rand propaganda fantasy that getting rid of government and federal regulations will solve all our problems. How’d that work out with the banking industry eh!

The problem isn’t government, it’s who’s interests the government serves. Reality is we have the best plutocracy money can buy and that sure ain’t governing of the people for the people

Hi Ray,

Thank you for listening to the podcast. In my experience, time and energy spent championing a political reality tunnel in an online text environment is not time well spent, but if you’re looking for a C-Realm listener who will take up the challenge with vim, I think that Febo on the C-Realm section of the Grow Report forums is your man:

Stay well.
