Episode 12: Merchants of Death
On this special episode we veer into the multi-billion dollar weapons industry and how US foreign policy often functions as an advertising opportunity for companies like Raytheon and Lockheed. The revolving door between the big 5 arms makers and all branches of government along with the prevalence of lobbying should make any person concerned as to whether our euphemistically titled "defense budget" actually serves national interest or is simply a expensive subsidy for these firms and the Wall Street banks that control them. Plus Andy makes the genocide in Yemen funny!
