Sep 1st
In this episode of Voice of Radical Dissent, Donna VanMeter from Irritate the State joined Corey to discuss the problems currently facing her husband, political prisoner Cirino Gonzalez. Then Corey started to talk about Julian Assange’s rape case and the Sweedish government dropping those charges. Dave from New Hampshire called in and asked if libertarians would stand by their stance on no social services if the poor truly suffered, which caught Corey off guard a bit, to which he responded with uncertainty. Angela Keaton dropped by to talk about the war and mosque controversy to top off the first hour. Catherine Bleish joined Corey at the top of the second hour to discuss her activism, specifically her founding of Operation Defuse and The Liberty Restoration Project. James Oliver called in to discuss the history of British social services in response to Dave from New Hampshire’s call.

Episode 118: The Deceptions of the State
Jul 11th
In this episode of Voice of Radical Dissent, I dived into some of the different aspects of the oppressive state. I started off talking about distractions that are placed in front of us, specifically sports and how LeBron James was used as just another pawn to keep our minds away from whats going on in the world around us. Continuing with the subject, I spoke about General Casey stating the US will be in Iraq and Afghanistan for another 10 years. Donna VanMeter joined me to give out information about the political prisoner of the week, Richard Simkanin. I ended the show with a rant about how disgusting it was Officer Johannes Mehserle only got convicted on involuntary manslaughter for the savage murder of Oscar Grant.
