The Saker interviews Cynthia McKinney

Click here to access this very fascinating interview from "The Saker's" website A bird's eye view of the Vineyard

I have not had time before my deadline to read this entire interview, but it appears so very rich in insights about recent American history. She warns us:
Despite all of the negative things that have happened to me, I still believe that the people in the U.S. can create positive transformational change for themselves that will also be good for the rest of the world.  What I don’t know is if they will seize the opportunity to do so, while it is still possible.  Sharpening the technologies of death and applying them at home as well as abroad shapes the tenor of the times.  I fear that the democratic space for such positive change is drastically and rapidly closing.
