6/8/23 Ben Freeman on the Think Tanks Helping Weapons Companies Make Sales
Ben Freeman of the Quincy Institute joins the show to discuss his latest research on cronyism in American foreign policy. Freeman examined the top Think Tanks working to influence lawmakers in Washington and American public opinion through media. He found a lot of undisclosed funding coming from weapons companies. On top of that, many experts at these organizations were publicly for the purchase of the explicit weapons that their funders produced. Freeman lays out what he found and names some of the top organizations and companies taking part in this racket.
Discussed on the show:
- “How weapons firms influence the Ukraine debate” (Responsible Statecraft)
- “Lockheed Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” (Corpwatch.com [formerly published at Playboy])
Ben Freeman is a Research Fellow at the Quincy Institute. He previously served as Director of the Foreign Influence Transparency Initiative with the Center for International Policy. Read his work at Antiwar.com and Responsible Statecraft. Follow him on Twitter @BenFreemanDC.
