The few times I had a chance to visit Gore in his Hollywood Hills home, or chat with him on the phone were very special times for me of which I will treasure forever.

Gore was the most interesting man alive and he was a true renaissance intellectual whose voice was desperately needed to counteract the propaganda of the US Empire.

I will miss him on a personal level and we lost a true international treasure on July 31, 2012.

In July of 2009, I had a chance to interview him and we are running this classic Cindy Sheehan’s Soapbox with Gore.
