Episode 7: Post-Election SPECIAL: Democracy Threatened - Voting Fraud in America


In this special episode, I take time out to talk with Bev Harris, founder of the website www.blackboxvoting.org. Bev has made it her personal patriotic mission to take on fraud, corruption and dirty tricks in the voting machine industry, and exposed problems nationwide in the integrity of our voting system - one of the few things that stands between us and despotism in America.

Listen as we cover and discuss the fraud that happened in Florida in 2000, Ohil in 2004, and where the key challenges lie in making voting machine manufacturers like Diebold and ES&S accountable, and cleaning up our national voting system mess.

Also, check out the new documentary "Hacking Democracy", airing on HBO this month only. It stars Bev Harris and tells the bigger story of how our voting system has developed the problems we struggle with today.

On the next show, I will continue covering the different ways Wal-Mart abuses Americans economically:

- Discrimination against women in hiring and promotion
- Economic war on small town America / invading towns without permission
- Indirect war on taxpayers, taxing them for expansion and employees benefits without their knowledge or consent.

It should be a great show.

What's Next on the No Respect Podcast (Show 6)


Coming up next on the No Respect Podcast:

I continue looking at Wal-Mart’s Economic War on America, specifically focusing on it’s rampant widespread and standardized discrimination against women workers, and it’s total devastation of small and mid-size communities in America.

Shows 4 and 5 will wrap up covering Wal-Mart's established record of environmental pollution, preventable crime against shoppers in Wal-Mart parking lots, and how it not only fleeces taxpayers through sweetheart building deals with cities and towns, but also consumers with falsely advertised "low prices".

In so many ways, on so many levels, Wal-Mart personifies all the WRONG corporate behaviors, so I continue my five-series expose on these actions and what YOU can do about it.

Future episodes after the Wal-Mart series will include the harms of layoffs and outsourcing, the horrors of ever increasing micro-surveillance in our lives, including RFID technology, and other great topics and valuable information.

The No Respect Podcast – bringing you Corporate America’s War on American Consumers, and solutions for fighting back.

No Respect: Episode 5: Wal-Mart's War on America, Part 2



In this latest episode, I continue my coverage of all the ways Wal-Mart harms America's economy, and abuses workers, both here and abroad. The two key areas in this episode are

- Anti Union / Anti-Worker
- Illegal use of Sweatshop Immigrant Labor

Movie clips from "The Corporation" movie (see link to right) and "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" (see link to right) are played with explicit permission from the movie creators.

I hope if you currently shop at Wal-Mart you will rethink where you shop, and shop at Target, Costco or smaller retailers and show Wal-Mart that these behaviors are the WRONG behaviors in retailing.
