Following this, a question and answer period in which you'll hear responses from Jerry Koch, Eric McDavid, Kazi Toure, Lynn Stewart, Mark Cook & Jihad Abdulmamut.
Eric McDavid is a green anarchist who served 10 years of a 20 year sentence before release in January of 2015.
Lynn Stewart is a movement who served 2.5 years of a 10 year sentence, released due on compassionate grounds due to terminal cancer.
Kazi Toure is a formerly incarcerated member of the marxist guerrilla group United Freedom Fighters/Ohio 7.
Jihad Abdulmumit is national chairperson for the Jericho Movement and spent 23 years in prison for involvement in the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army.
Mark Cook was a social prisoner who founded a Panther Chapter in prison and became involved in the George Jackson Brigade.
The first half of the panel discussion can be found here: http://thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org/post/2015/10/14/former-political-p...

Mumia Must Live: An Emergency Report On the Medical Mistreatment Of The Worlds Most Renowned Political Prisoner
with
. Esperanza Martell, a peace and human-rights activist, who has worked on social justice issues dealing with Puerto Rican
independence, political prisoners, education and health care from a class, race and gender perspective. She teaches community organizing at Hunter College, School of Social Work.
and
. Johanna Fernandez, with the Campaign to Bring Mumia Home, who teaches 20th century U.S. history, the history of movements for social change, the political economy of American cities, and African-American history
In 1976, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that prisoners were entitled to the same medical and dental treatment as everyone else in their communities, and that prisons withholding treatment may be held liable for violating the U.S. Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. However, the reality is that we might never know how many prisoners have suffered or died from medical and health care neglect, or willful mistreatment behind the walls. But, the case of journalist, world-renowned humanist and political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, now in the fight for his life against the outrageous and deadly medical treatment in the prison system is
highlighting for the public the necessary fight to ensure that no more members of this vulnerable population suffer and are deprived of adequate health care " that the Supreme Court holding be followed!

We look at the 'remittance cartel', their 'taxing of the poor' with monopoly prices in a juicy $450-500 billion market. Also: 'comfort letters' and the game changing European Commission ruling that the tax agreements between Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Fiat and Starbucks constitute illegal state aid. We analyse the rich country club of the OECD's BEPS proposals for reform of the global corporate tax system: will it really address corporate tax avoidance and evasion?

4th World Radyo : Anti-Intellectualism is More Than Partisan Politics - it's Anti-Progress
Oct. 23, 2015, 1:52 p.m.
TheAngryindian speaks extemporaneously on the issue of institutional anti-intellectualism and why is it inherently dangerous to coddle those who bully the general society and targeted groups/populations into accepting their marginalisation as 'right' and obedience to their xenophobic, right-wing sociopolitical ideas and utterly paranoid religious fundamentalism. The discourse also includes an examination of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's totally false and misleading statements saying that the original plan for the Nazi programme of genocide, the European Holocaust, started not with Adolf Hitler and his inner circle, but with the then Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini. This is a disgusting historical lie that, ironically, began with the professional historical revisionists on the fringes of the far-right who deny that the fascists carried-out such crimes at all. Unsurprisingly, it is a pet theory within neo-Nazi/Libertarian intellectual circles and the fact that an Israeli PM would dare cite such bollocks as a means of discrediting the Palestinian liberation movement says something about how the professional propagandists judge the public's consciousness and its sense of political and historical knowledge and comprehension. US Corporatist Donald Trump has taken advantage of anti-intellectualism in his political campaigning to get away with using Nazi imagery, racist anti-immigration rhetoric and now, 'red-baiting' against Senator Bernie Sanders and the entire capitalist-owned and operated Democratic National Party (DNC).
EXTRA: Archived audio, 'From the Rez to Palestine' (not sure of the source) discussing the historical and political links between North American Indigenous Americans/First Nations peoples and the ongoing independence land struggles and violence going down in Occupied Palestine/Jewish State in the Levant (JSIL).

This Week in Radio News: Radio-Controlled Drones for Oct. 24-31, 2015
Oct. 22, 2015, 11:41 p.m.
More TV and radio stations in U.S.; NPR's audience grows older; 15 percent of Americans don't use internet; Tech companies against Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act; U.S. government to register radio-controlled drones. Then, a longer report and audio essay about radio-controlled drones. There is a new Edward Snowden, and this whistleblower is opening up about radio-controlled drones, and the U.S. military s assassination program in Afghanistan, Yemen, and Somalia. Jeremy Scahill writes in The Intercept that, "The first drone strike outside of a declared war zone was conducted more than 12 years ago, yet it was not until May 2013 that the White House released a set of standards and procedures for conducting such strikes." Some of the revelations in The Intercept reporting includes that as many as 90 percent of U.S. drone killings in one five month period weren t the intended targets, that a former British citizen was killed in a radio-controlled drone strike despite repeated opportunities to capture him instead, and details of the grisly process by which the American government chooses who will die. The whistleblower is so far anonymous, but gave The Intercept a statement for release: This outrageous explosion of watchlisting "of monitoring people and racking and stacking them on lists, assigning them numbers, assigning them baseball cards, assigning them death sentences without notice, on a worldwide battlefield "it was, from the very first instance, wrong. We re allowing this to happen. And by we, I mean every American citizen who has access to this information now, but continues to do nothing about it. The stories in The Intercept, and the Congressional testimony from those in drone zones such as Pakistan, are chilling. The show includes a collage of sounds and stories from the drone wars.
