Don't go debunking myths people want to believe. That's what one of the brightest radio personalities in America learned the hard way. Casey Lartigue, formerly with the Cato Institute, now an independent education consultant and side-kick Eliot Morgan just got booted off their XM radio show in Washington D.C. over the controversial so-called "Memorandum 46" theory. Allegedly signed by former National Security Advisor 
Zbigniew Brzezinski, the document outlines a conspiracy begun during the Carter administration to cause havoc within the African American community in the U.S. and chaos in Africa. Brzezinski has denied the allegations pointing out his name at the bottom of "memorandum 46" isn't even spelled right. But despite a long list of clues that clearly spell out F.A.K.E. the urban legend has caught on among African Americans who came out swinging at two of their own. A heated controversy began on the air, continued off and ended in the abrupt cancellation of the popular show. Is this a case of the power of myth in a way Joseph Campbell couldn't have imagined, or something more sinister? Can people be made to believe anything if it reinforces belief: an alliance between AlQaeda and Iraq, a Jewish conspiracy behind 9-11 or a white plot to blow up levees in New Orleans? In Hawaii, can the privileged minority pulling the strings of the sovereignty movement use "memorandum 46" tactics to keep the lower classes in a permanent state of discontent for political ends? Who are the puppet masters?Casey Lartigue is special guest on the JP Muntal Honolulu Radio Show NOW STREAMING and PODCAST downloadable now @ http://hawaiiradioproject.podcastpeople.com .
