Editor’s Note:
This is the transcript by V.S. of the second installment my interview with Henrik Palmgren on Red Ice Radio from May 29, 2015, which you can listen to it at Red Ice Creations. This is actually the second part of the second hour, which is behind a pay wall. I recommend that all Counter-Currents readers become subscribers to Red Ice Creations. There is a huge amount of very good information and interviews behind their pay wall.
