Here are some links to people, places and things we're talking about on the show...(not listed in order of importance - they're all important!).
Lt. Eric Shine - Lt. Eric Shine is a graduate of the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point and is an expert in the history of the United States Merchant Marine, as well as issues relating to shipping issues and national security.
In his role as a whistle blower, Lt. Shine has taken his USMM oath, Acto Non Verba or “Deeds Not Words” to new heights. Lt. Shine has been the subject on hundreds of articles and has appeared on numerous television and radio programs nationwide including shows on Air America, Voice of America, and Pacifica Radio.
Paul Krassner calls himself an investigative satirist. Don Imus labeled him “one of the comic geniuses of the 20th century.” (Imus has since apologized for that quote.) And, according to the Los Angeles Reader, “Krassner delivers 90 minutes of the funniest, most intelligent social and political commentary in town.”
On the other hand, a couple of FBI agents went to one of his performances and stated in their report, “He purported to be humorous about government policies.” His FBI files indicate that after Life magazine published a favorable profile of him, the FBI sent a poison-pen letter to the editor, complaining: “To classify Krassner as a social rebel is far too cute. He’s a nut, a raving, unconfined nut.”
“The FBI was right,” says George Carlin. “This man is dangerous--and funny; and necessary.”

Hello,
Thanks for that interesting dialogue with Lt. Eric Shine. Hopefully he'll receive the support he needs.
Good luck with Camp Casey. Maybe you could give some of the land to displaced campesinos from Latin America who were bankrupted by the World Bank and the IMF.
They could grow organic squash and sunflowers or whatever, and sell their vegetables at farmers markets, or to Whole Foods under the "Camp Casey Organics" label. That would be kind of fun.
Good show and I plan on listening every week.
