New World Notes - SCADs and Conspiracy Theories (First of two parts)

12/01/2015 12:00 pm
12/02/2015 9:00 pm
 

This week on New World Notes: radio program #404, December 1, 2015, Tuesday from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. (and on Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.), host Kenneth Dowst takes another peek into the Deep State.

Public policy professor Lance deHaven-Smith discusses the concepts of "conspiracy theory" and SCADs--State Crimes Against Democracy.

Part 1 of this interesting and often witty talk discusses both concepts and reveals some little-known facts about famous SCADs--including Watergate and candidate Richard Nixon's scuttling of the Vietnam peace talks in 1968. (The name of the latter crime, technically, is "treason.")

Lance deHaven-Smith is Professor of Public Administration and Policy at Florida State University. His books include Conspiracy Theory in America (University of Texas Press, 2013).

He spoke in Denver on September 6, 2013. Robin Upton, of Unwelcome Guests provided an edited sound recording--which I have condensed and edited further. Thanks again to Robin.

New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "nihil obstat") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.
