The Term “Border Security” Is Completely Inaccurate: A Podcast with Jacques Servin
Todd Miller and Jacques Servin from the political performance, activist group the Yes Men.
This conversation, hosted by Todd Miller, about a great borderlands adobe brick building project is going great, until Jacques Servin—of the political performance artist trickster and activist troupe called the Yes Men—fails to grasp the meaning of the term "border security" — at least how it’s conveyed to the world by the high brass of the Department of Homeland Security. Though frustrating at first, this leads to a fruitful philosophical conversation and then a possibly paradigm-shifting one. Listen all the way to the end for a provocative proposal about next year’s Border Security Expo.
