Al & Mike Show Episode 24 - Abandoning The Base
Gerry Nicholls (www.gerrynicholls.com) joins us again to talk about the importance of the conservative-liberatarian movement, and the increasing disregard the Conservative Party of Canada is showing for the movement. We also talk a little bit about the debate between Mark Steyn and the three Osgoode law students who helped author human rights complaints against Macleans Magazine.

Great show so far, guys – but I’ve got to disagree with Gerry Nicholls that we’ve won the battle for economic freedom. I’ve heard this argument before from conservatives and it always leaves me frustrated. Everyday the regulatory environment quantifiably grows and so does the size and scope of government. (Harper took over a bloated socialist government and then made it bigger...much bigger!)
Furthermore, there is no dichotomy between economic freedom and social/political freedom. There is only freedom.
The attack on the Western Standard, for instance, was an attack on economic freedom. The Western Standard was a commercial enterprise that was bullied by the government for producing a perfectly legal, mainstream product read by an est. 250,000 thousand people and distributed on one of our national airlines.

Is this the Harper Connection?
Bilderberg and now Bohemian Grove elite.
Bohemian Grove Member Confronted in Telephone Interview
JonesReport.com | May 15, 2008
The Corbett Report decided to call up Barry Cooper, a political theory and social sciences professor at the University of Calgary who happens to be one of many Bohemian Grove members whose name appears in the 2006 roster that was sent anonymously to the Infowars office. Many of these members belong to the world of academia, and some are even listed alongside their university.
Cooper admitted to being a member of the Bohemian Club and to attending the grove annually, but declined to further discuss what goes on at the power meeting, though he did deny taking part in the Cremation of Care ritual that grove members take part in each year.
The Corbett Report asked a number of poignant questions that Cooper left untouched, among them, one addressing the lack of transparency about the real political power structure, even as Cooper himself admits he leaves his students in the dark about what goes on behind the scenes.
CORBETT REPORT: "Do you ever mention the Grove when you’re talking to your students about the power structures that govern global geopolitics?"
COOPER: "I doubt it."
Clearly a key meeting of the shadow government is indeed relevant to that global power structure, though much of its power draws from secrecy itself.

Thank you Matthew for stating it so well. I agree with you.

This Al & Mike episode was great, but did Al & Mike remember that they had a guest or was Mr. Nicholls' only reason for appearance to be a captive listener, because I gotta say, it was all Al & Mike and not a whole lot of Mr. Nicholls here. But it was an interesting conversation among you. Thanks.

Dazed,
Well, when we have Gerry on, it's less of an "interview" than it is more of a roundtable discussion. We don't really so much do interviews as we do discussions on our show. Both myself an Al are commentators as much as our guests, and this invariably leads to conversation. Not just question, answer, question, answer. :)
