The Fanonite

Late last year we were honoured to have Jim Lobe, the finest US investigative journalist, visit us here in Glasgow. I had filmed his very informative talk which I have yet to put online (hopefully very soon). Here is an interview with him from Antiwar.com where he presents useful insights into the background of the neocons (Jims’s specialty).

Jim Lobe, Washington correspondent for IPS News, discusses the neoconservative movement, their origins on the Trotskyite Left, their alliances with Scoop Jackson, the Christian Right, Rightwing nationalists and the Military Industrial Complex against the old eastern establishment, their lust for power and militaristic world view, their role in the war against Iraq and the realist resurgence.
