On May 25th, 2007, Cynthia McKinney was interviewed by phone on the air by New York City's WBAI. The interview included her thoughts on the complicity on the current Democrat majority, the Bush mobilization against Iran, the ongoing military interventions across the African Continent, speculation on the possibility of a Green Party presidential bid in 2008 and plans for the June 9th Revolutionary Love event scheduled for NYC as a fund raiser to retire the debt from her 2006 Congressional campaign.

In a 24 minute interview, she described the Democrat Party as "parting the waters for the Bush Administration" in his prosecution of his war on the people of Iraq.

She speaks of US military intervention in Africa, from the Eisenhower Administrations' assassination of Luumumba (to be replaced by Mubutu) to the Bush Administration's latest machinations from Somalia and Ethiopia, the Congo, Zimbabwe and back to the oil reserves in Cote d'Ivoire which she describes as "an outright onslaught by the US military on African soil".

"Our country has more to offer the Continent of Africa than genetically modified seeds and weapons of war," McKinney told this New York radio audience. She spoke of the US intervention by the U.S. National Endowment for Democracy in Zimbabwe which has perverted democratic processes. She discussed the psychological defeat which has turned Ethiopia into an aggressor nation by its participation with extraordinary rendition.

Even so, she asserted that "There are some seeds of resistance which we should celebrate." Speaking of the Namibian case for reparations with Germany, and the Mau-Mau claims against the British. "Certainly an apology without reparations is meaningless. . . . There are grave injustices that have been endured by the African people at the hands of the Western interests which have invaded their land."

Responding to speculation on a possible Green Party presidential bid in 2008, Ms. McKinney responded: "I've had a very long relationship with the Green Party. And I think honestly with the failure of the Democratic majority in Congress to repeal the Patriot Act, to repeal the Secret Evidence Act, to repeal the Military Tribunals Act, to institute immediately actions for impeachment against this illegitimate, illegal and immoral administration, to stop the war, I have to seriously question my relationship with the Democratic Party. I know that the very learned listeners of WBAI have long been interested in how to have a truly independent voice. I understand now that with the current Democrat majority in Congress, its not possible."

"Rather than talk about what other candidates don't do, What I would rather probably talk about is what I could do as a potential candidate. And so 2008 has not been ruled out, some kind of effort, and certainly now, it is questionable as to whether that effort would come under the banner of the Democratic Party. There is no way that with the current crop of candidates, who are all supporting a military action against Iran, and who none of them support impeachment; they can not speak for me any longer."
