\"\"<\/a>San Francisco<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 On April 15, tax day, we think about money. If we follow the money, we find the root of the rot. That is the unifying theme of 66 incisive interviews with Dennis J. Bernstein on his Pacifica Radio Network KPFA Flashpoints program, in a just-released book, \u201cFollow the Money: Radio Voices for Peace and Justice,\u201d selected, transcribed and edited by Riva Enteen.<\/p>\n

The interviews, all during the Obama administration, are the writing on the wall that foreshadowed a Trump presidency. Those who don\u2019t know history are destined to repeat it. As Oliver Stone says in his interview, \u201c[History] allows you to think and put together events and make sense of them. Often we only react to the tyranny of now.\u201d<\/p>\n

If we follow the money, we find the root of the rot.<\/h3>\n

The book features a foreword by best-selling author and political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal and is dedicated to the late great Robert Parry of Consortium News. The interviews are grouped by theme: \u201cThe New and Not so New Police State\u201d; \u201cThe Class War\u201d; \u201cDomestic Dissent\u201d; \u201cBlack Lives\u201d; \u201cChurch, State, Women, and the Criminalization of Sexuality\u201d; \u201cMigration, Deportation, and US-Latino Culture\u201d; \u201cGlobal Militarization and Empire\u201d; \u201cOngoing Bloodshed in the Holy Land\u201d; and \u201cThere is No Plan(et) B.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFollow the Money\u201d has been described as an \u201cencyclopedia of resistance,\u201d a \u201cbook of hope,\u201d which illustrates how \u201cthe nation is bursting with movements.\u201d It is an invaluable resource for research as well as finding allies in the struggle.<\/p>\n

Luminaries such as Alice Walker, Phil Donahue, Ramsey Clark, Laura Flanders, Danny Glover, Marjorie Cohn, Christopher Simpson, Dolores Huerta, John Pilger, Antonia Juhasz, Greg Palast and Martin Espada grace the pages with their clear, convincing facts, analysis and vision of a world more attuned to peace and justice.<\/p>\n

Alice Walker says in her interview, \u201cI believe it is our responsibility to do something when the world is out of whack, as it is almost everywhere you look. What do you do and where do you place yourself?\u201d The book inspires action by ending with Marge Piercy\u2019s poem \u201cTo be of use.\u201d<\/p>\n
