I met Dr. Soldz when recording his 2003 talk on the Psychodynamics of Empire for No Censorship Radio. We aired my condesations of all three talks. I was so impressed with the Freudian perspective of fear and projection as an explanation of what is happening to my country that it caused me to revisit Freud with a new appreciation.
