Attached is an mp3 of an interview with Tod Fletcher, covering the protests at the G8 in Genoa in 2001, 9/11, the 'strategy of tension' (Gladio) and it's morphing into the 'war on terror', which was brodcast by Guns and Butter on 24th January 2007.
Under the pen name Max Kolskegg, Tod Fletcher has posted online a three-part series of articles on 9/11 in its historical and political economic context: "After Genoa: Reform or Revolution"; "9/11: A Desperate Provocation by U.S. Capitalism"; and "9/11 in Context: Plans and Counter Plans". These articles are essential reading.
