Graham Elwood quote from this clip:
“Well, I mean the ruling class is very skilled at their propaganda machine. You know, I was just debating with somebody on Twitter. They were just saying, “well we probably need to invade Iran” and they’re just repeating State Department talking points that are disseminated through the corporate media. And this person is not dumb or an idiot or evil, in my opinion, but that’s all they know. So it’s important for vigils like this and independent media to get the word out, because they control the message, man, pretty powerfully, so… and that’s what Wikileaks was all about and is all about: showing them or pulling the curtain down, so I’m happy to be a part of this. I’m glad people are being informed through this and getting fired up.”

Graham Elwood has been a stand-up comic for over 20 years. He has also directed the award winning feature film “Ear Buds: The Podcasting Documentary” , the award winning short, “Hello Junkie” (coming soon to CFN) and the stand-up comedy concert DVD, “Graham Elwood: Live from Afghanistan”.

His first feature film, “Laffghanistan: Comedy Down Range” is a film about Graham’s first trip to Afghanistan. Telling jokes in a war zone is certainly, scary, crazy, and funny, and always entertaining.

Graham likes referring to himself in the 3rd person as he feels like a pro ballplayer: Graham Elwood will get it done one day at a time and hopefully, will be there, come playoffs.

Graham is co-creator of the Los Angeles Podcast Festival with Dave Anthony, Chris Mancini, and Andy Wood. He is also a frequent guest on the Jimmy Dore Show and Aggressive Progressive on TYT which inspired the creation of “The Political Vigilante” YouTube show and podcast. Talking Politics from a progressive point of view.
