this is a great old '92 Dr Michael Parenti talk, from Time of Useful Consciousness radio site and below is their description

Too bad Parenti hasn't(to my knowledge) jumped right into 9/11 truth, he mentions controlled demolitions sometimes, and probably agrees with that as what destroyed the towers, but he could bring so many old and new lefties in if he wanted to, i hope he hasn't sold out

The JFK Assassination and the Gangster Nature of the State

When Oliver Stone's movie JFK opened in December 1991 a huge PR campaign was mobilized against the film. Even progressives spoke out. Noam Chomsky wrote in support of the Warren Commission's findings. In contrast Michael Parenti gave one of his highly acclaimed talks criticizing the lone assassin theory.

The bitter questions that haunted defenders and critics alike was whether government agencies of a democratic country would do such a thing as assassinate an elected President.

In this talk Michael Parenti turns to that question first. He examines, in part one, what he calls "the gangster nature of the state". In part two he goes over details of the assassination and critiques The Nation, The Progressive, Chomsky and Cockburn. He spoke in Berkeley, CA, on the 30th anniversary of the JFK assassination.

This is one of many "standing ovations" talks by Parenti. The master for this program was lost and this appears to be the only copy of the original recording.
