Our current relationship with El Salvador, including shipping U.S citizens to be held in a maximum-security prison is sadly par for the course of what we have paid with our taxpayer dollars for many decades. With the death of Pope Francis, it will be interesting to see if we hear about liberation theology which Dr Clements informs us about in a talk he gave at Patriotic Hall in LA in 1985. Second hour an edition of Radio Ecoshock Urgent Planet & Manufactured Fright.
