KPFK ‘BradCast’: Corporate Espionage Against Nonprofits and Private Citizens (Like Me)

Guest: Gary Ruskin of the Center for Corporate Policy

Share article:

Hope you’ll grab this one for some Thanksgiving weekend listening!

My guest on this week’s BradCast on KPFK/Pacifica Radio was the Center for Corporate Policy’s Gary Ruskin, author of the new report, “Spooky Business: Corporate Espionage of Nonprofit Organizations” [PDF]. The report is “spooky” for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that I am named in the report, as one of the targets of an extraordinary $12 million espionage plot by the loathsome, rightwing U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

[The scheme involved the U.S. Chamber, their powerful and sleazy law firm Hunton & Williams, LLP and three grifter U.S. defense/intel contractors, HBGary Federal, Palantir Technologies and Berico Technologies. It was meant to use tools developed for the “war on terror” against me, my family and a number of progressive organizations. None of the parties involved have been held accountable to this day. Read more about it here…]

Ruskin’s report is chilling and the interview is disturbing. But the second half of the show is (largely) much less troubling! We update a lot of the stories we’ve been covering of late on The BradCast, most of them with good news updates!

So, curl on up to the holiday radio hearth and give it a listen…and all of my best to you and yours for Thanksgiving! (Or, as we call it around here since Chanukah falls on the same day this year: Thanksalatke!)

    she has accounted for 731 of them (with the help of her “tech” who really controls results)
