Millennials Are Killing Capitalism - A podcast by Millennials Are Killing Capitalism

Categories:

For this episode Orisanmi Burton returns to the podcast. This episode is about Dr. Burton’s latest article which was released today on Truthout. This new piece is called, “New Docs Link CIA to Medical Torture of Indigenous Children and Black Prisoners.” In our conversation we will talk about the connections between the Central Intelligence Agency’s MKULTRA program, former Governor Normal Rockefeller, the Rockefeller Foundation, McGill University, the Allan Memorial Institute and experiments that were conducted in New York State prisons.  There are some references in this episode to our most recent episode with Orisanmi Burton in this discussion, when Dr. Burton makes mentions to things he discussed “earlier” or “before” they are to be found in that discussion which we will link as well.  Content Warning: There is discussion of torture, rape, and other forms of state violence in this episode We also encourage folks to pre-order Dr. Burton’s forthcoming book Tip of the Spear: Black Radicalism, Prison Repression, and the Long Attica Revolt and will link that in the show notes.
