Just a quick note to formally announce my honor in being named a Fellow at the Commonweal Institute. CI is a terrific, fearless, forward-thinking Progressive organization/think-tank, and I couldn’t be prouder to have been invited to join their ranks and hopefully augment their already outstanding efforts.
The rightwing has had their Wingnut Welfare Program in place for some time, so it’s nice to see organizations like CI — even if they’re not funded on anywhere near the scale of the rightwing “think-tanks” — expanding and maturing to take on so much of the disinformative nonsense coming from the extremist Right. Perhaps reality-based discourse and forward-thinking Progressivism can return someday to find it’s voice welcomed again in the public square. See their recent announcement on their new Fellows Op-Ed program.
Where I can help, I’m happy and honored to do so under the auspices of CI, in good company with a number of my fine fellow Fellows. Be sure to check out Commonweal’s website. Lots of good stuff to be found there, with more coming soon! And again, I’m delighted to be onboard!
[Ed Note: CI Executive Director Barry Kendall will be joining me as a guest tonight on the final night of my week-long stint guest hosting the Mike Malloy Show. Update: Interview now here, choose HOUR 3, interview with Kendall begins just after the 11 min. mark.]
Brad…
There’s a important new 9/11 truth article I would like to ask you to read.
It’s about a US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) official videographer who was sent in to film all over the ground zero site for many days. His name is Kurt Sonnenfeld. He is now in Argentina applying for political asylum. His application for political asylum in Argentina is being supported/endorsed by Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, 1980 Nobel Peace Prize winner.
This is the real deal. This guy has video tapes with him in Argentina he filmed as a FEMA videographer that prove 9/11 was pre-planned by the US Government.

This information needs to get out.
Congrats Brad!
Look forward to more of your work for the cause of truth and justice.

Congratulations Brad! You will be a great asset to Commonweal Institute.
congrats – you rock
Good on ya, Brad. Simply by choosing you this outfit has proven its wisdom. I’m not sure the America I’m feeling so nostalgic for ever existed, ever, but if that is in fact the case, it’s way past time to bring forth an America we can all be proud of. Go get ’em!
Mark one up for the good guys!
Way to go!
You misplaced the “scare quotes.” It should be: rightwing “think”-tanks
This is great Brad. Definitely need more progressive think tanks with people who are good thinkers and writers.
Also, I hadn’t been coming by much because the dark background was too much for my eyes. Thanks for the change, whatever inspired it. I will be able to visit more often.
