Under The Western Empire You Get Punished For Having A Conscience

About this episode

The episode discusses the punishment of individuals for their conscience in the context of American foreign policy and anti-genocide activism.

It's a war on the human conscience. Sentencing anti-genocide activists as terrorists. Working to deport mainstream foreign policy experts for criticizing an American war. They're actually punishing people for not acting like sociopaths. Reading by Tim Foley.
