Video: Cato-Dambisa Moyo Explains Why Government Aid Keeps Africa Poor
Podcasts: PMH Radio Interviews Danielle Brian of POGO
Outstanding interview, and such a treat. Thanks to Danielle and Jake for a an enlightening interview. I learned a lot about what POGO is, and what it can do for this industry and my fellow security contractors. I am especially impressed with POGO’s dedication in keeping all communications with whistleblowers private and protected. –Matt

Industry Talk: PMH Exclusive–David Isenberg Analyzes Gordon Vs. AGNA
Check it out folks. David went through the entire suit and commented on each aspect of the thing. What is key about that, is David’s vast knowledge base about AGNA and AGI and his ability to remember all the cool little details that only add to this stew of information. Bottom line, I wanted to puke after reading this, and I am so sorry that Gordon and company all had to go through what you went through on this contract. (according to Danielle in the PMH show, there are at least thirty plus guys who have reported problems)
Those lewd party pictures are stupid, but the actual details of this contract are the real story here. I highly recommend reading through this if you have the time, and learn what not to do on a contract. –Matt
