Obamas Geopolitical Strategy for Containing China

The historian Professor McCoy is an expert on U.S. foreign policy, the Philippines, Southeast Asia; global drug trafficking; and CIA covert operations. He teaches at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and his September 2015 piece in Tom Dispatch “Grandmaster of the Great Game: Obama's Geopolitical Strategy for Containing China,” stands in total contrast to the current views of media pundits as well as the Republican party. They see Obama as weak, clueless, and indecisive in matters of foreign policy. McCoy provocatively places Obama among the limited number of presidents and public figures whose geopolitical skills - if he is allowed to succeed - will have transformed America’s global role. In this interview McCoy takes listeners from Halford Mackinder, father of geopolitics and “heartland” theory, to Elihu Root to Brzezinski to Obama’s efforts to interrupt China’s global ambitions and maintain US global hegemony. He also puts into this geopolitical perspective Obama's recent efforts to reach out to Burma, Iran and Cuba.

Out of the Woods - Show #289 - 10-24-15

This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length. Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Kate MacLeod, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

Death of the Oslo Accords, then Mohammad Hmidat, head of PARC

First, some recent news and analysis out of Palestine: Per the New York Times: "Demonstrating a new level of tension with Israel, President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority declared on Wednesday that his people were no longer bound by mutual agreements with Israel, including the Oslo Peace Accords, which created the foundation for the Middle East peace process." The Oslo accords were a disaster for the Palestinians from the beginning. Israel was never willing to set any boundaries delineating Israeli and Palestinian land, and so from the outset Israel continued to do what its intentions were from the beginning. They continued to take Palestinian land inside the International Green line. There are now about 650,000 Jewish settlers within the West Bank. Palestinian autonomy promised, but never delivered has become a cruel joke. The Palestinian Authority has become a wing of the Israeli security apparatus. Finally, Abbas has blown the whistle, but it is too late for the two state solution that was the goal of the Accords. In an interview published by the Institute for Middle East Understanding, Ramallah based Attorney Diana Buttu analyzes what may lay ahead for the Palestinians without the structure of the Oslo Accords. When asked about an assessment of the Oslo Accords for the Palestinians, Ms. Buttu responded: "The US-sponsored Oslo Accords have been an unmitigated disaster for Palestinians. Instead of leading to Palestinian freedom, the Oslo process entrenched Palestinian dependence on Israel economically, while giving Israel cover to deepen its occupation and settlement enterprise without suffering international censure for its violations of international law and human rights abuses. ..." Listen for much more. Today we look at a Palestinian organization that does an amazing job of supporting the production of Palestinian products and marketing them to the world in the face of enormous Israeli restrictions and rigorous conditions that must be adhered to. A year ago I interviewed Mohammad Hmidat, who heads the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC). PARC’s success story, despite overwhelming obstacles created by the occupying power, Israel, bears repeating and therefore we went into our archive to present once again the PARC story. Finally, we must give a salute to the UN which, despite objections from the US and Israel, this past week raised the Palestinian flag to stand among all the other nations which comprise the UN. A symbolic victory, but a victory nonetheless.

Prison Toilets (10-18-2015)

This week, Sean talks about the changes to the prison toilets at Warren CI in Ohio where he sits in 3A status. Apparently recently they "updated" the toilets to limit the amount of flushes one can have during the course of the day. Sean explains about how this attempt to control people's bowel movements affect cell-mates relationships and the quality of life on the inside in very simple and yet important ways.

The case of Jessica Burlew

This week Bursts spoke with Beth, a member of Phoenix Anarchist Black Cross and a member of the Support Jessie B committee about the case of Jessica Burlew. Jessie is a now-18 year old woman on the autism spectrum and diagnosed with schitzo-effective disorder who's been held in solitary confinement as a protective measure in a Maricopa County Jail. She's being charged by the state in the death during a sexual encounter with her 42 year old man 2 years ago in what even coroners have deemed to be accidental. We talk about Beth's case, about gender and courts, about child welfare, mental health and advocacy in the criminal system of Arizona. More on the case can be found at http://freejessieb.org But first, these announcements... ================================= Marius Mason is an anarchist, an environmental and animal rights prisoner serving nearly 22 years in federal prison for acts of sabotage carried out in defense of the planet. No one was injured in any of these actions. After being threatened with a life sentence in 2009, he pleaded guilty to charges of arson at a Michigan State University lab researching Genetically Modified Organisms for Monsanto, and admitted to 12 other acts of property damage. The sentencing judge applied a so-called “terrorism enhancement” to his term which added almost two more years than the maximum requested by the prosecution. This is the harshest punishment of anyone convicted of environmental sabotage to date. Marius is incarcerated in the high security Administration Unit at the Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas. According to the prison’s own literature, the unit is “designed for female inmates with histories of escapes, chronic behavior problems, repeated incidents of assaultive or predatory behavior, or other special management concerns.” Marius has never violated any prison rules. Clearly, he is being held in this unit because of his political beliefs and in an effort to silence him. The unit is frequently and unpredictably locked down for hours on end due to violence and suicide attempts resulting from the claustrophobic and oppressive conditions. Prisoners leave the building for medical treatment, but only after a protracted wait and fierce advocacy on the part of the prisoner even though Carswell is ostensibly a medical facility. Access to mental health counseling, medical care, and educational opportunities are greatly diminished because of security issues. Due to shifting policies Marius unit is only accepting mail addresssed to Marie (Marius) Mason. This change has felt like a big step back in his plea to begin his transition (Mason is a transgender man). Additionally he has recieved little to no mail in the past weeks, leaving him in almost complete isolation from the outside world, It's asked that people write to him, to let him and the prison administration know that folks are keeping an eye on his situation. Address letters to: Marie (Marius) Mason 04672-061 FMC Carswell Federal Medical Center PO Box 27137 Fort Worth, Texas 76127 More about him and his case can be found at http://supportmariusmason.org ================================= We have just received word that Eric’s trial is likely to be continued yet again. Eric’s public defender has entered a motion to continue his trial date until March 8th, so that we can have more time to prepare for trial or otherwise resolve the case. We expect that the judge will grant the motion. As you may know, it’s been over a year since Eric’s arrest and pre-trial incarceration at CCA Leavenworth (a private prison operated by the Corrections Corporation of America) in Leavenworth, Kansas. Although for Eric and the rest of us it feels like it’s been a very long time, for a trial of this caliber, it’s pretty standard to spend a couple years in prison awaiting trial. Many warm thank you’s to all those who have been making preparations to come to Kansas City for the trial. We hope to be able to give plenty of notice so that people can make clear plans to attend trial and show their support. We hope that, should Eric’s case go trial, friends and comrades will fill the courtroom. We are also happy to report that Eric’s mail situation seems to be improving! Thanks to all of the efforts of people across the country to pressure the CCA mailroom to abide by the laws it purport to uphold. Although we dream of a world without “laws” or “rights,” in the meantime we’ll do what we can to keep our friend’s mail out of the trash. Thanks to all those who were willing to join in the effort! For now, you can help by writing a letter to Eric, hosting a letter-writing night for him, donating money to his legal fund or buying a t-shirt. The road before us is long and expensive and it’s going to take a lot of support to get through it. Again, many thanks to all of you who have continued to show your support throughout this arduous process. Link to Eric’s Fundraiser https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/0yo You can see more about Eric's case at supportericking.wordpress.com Eric's Address: Eric King 27090045 CCA Leavenworth 100 Highway Terrace Leavenworth, KS 66048 ================================= This from https://rally.org/f/5os4KR80OFc, a fundraising site being used by supporters of Janey Waller, arrested in an obvious case of racial profiling, in which the cops said he “fit the description” of a crime he did not commit. A witness to the “crime” immediately confirmed that Janye had nothing to do with it, but Janye was still taken into custody where he was questioned and then leveled with serious charges related to last year’s protests in Oakland against the non-indictments for the murders of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. JANYE WALLER IS A YOUNG BLACK ACTIVIST, A LOCAL OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. He lives and works in Oakland, providing financial support to his mother, his two younger brothers, and his cousin. He attended Berkeley Community College where he planned to major in Accounting, but had to take leave in order to help support his family, and he hopes to return to college soon. Janye also volunteers at a social center in West Oakland that works to empower black and indigenous people living in the Bay Area through education and mutual aid. Within this space Janye works tirelessly, helping coordinate and administer programs focusing on skills like urban farming, which foster both community and individual autonomy. JANYE IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS CURRENTLY FACING SERIOUS CHARGES AFTER THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FLOODED THE STREETS DURING THE WAVE OF PROTESTS IN THE BAY AREA LAST WINTER. After several high profile police killings of young black men, the Bay Area, like much of the rest of the country, surged into a wave of protest and resistance. The state responded by using the legal system as a tool of repression, threatening incarceration and steep fines for some of those involved in these actions. It is sad but obvious that the one person getting targeted for that beautiful moment of protest is a strong and politicized young black man. IT IS GOING TO TAKE TIME AND MONEY TO FIGHT THESE CHARGES. The legal process saps significant resources. Janye needs help with the costs of legal defense and the substantial bail amount that he borrowed. Other ways you can help: COME OUT TO SUPPORT HIM IN COURT! This matters! Next court date: Monday Oct 19th, 9am, Wiley Manuel courthouse Dept 115. Also: HELP JANYE FIND A STABLE JOB! GET IN TOUCH! Please give whatever you can and let others know. email - freejanye@gmail.com ================================= In anarchy radio news, check out this newly minted podcast The Brilliant, which is recorded out of Berkley CA and features co hosts Aragorn! of Little Black Cart (an anarchist publishing house) and Bellamy formerly of Free Radical Radio. The Brilliant self describes as "an attempt to tell different kinds of stories, ones with complex moral plays, ones that aren’t so clearly stories, and ones that are of human size. Their motivation to tell these tales is a desire to see a proliferation of different stories and not just the simple morality plays of popular culture or the inverted, but otherwise identical, stories of the radical milieu." Check out their archives, and stay tuned for upcoming episodes, at http://thebrilliant.org ================================= Since Sean Swain is still on communications blackout, Rydra of Free Radical Radio was kind enough to provide voice over for this week's segment.

The Mismanagement of Mecca

The holiest site in Islam is under the control of Saudi Arabia, which is unable to prevent lethal incidents such as the recent disaster that killed hundreds. This comes at a time when Saudi Arabia is involved in very dubious activities abroad, including invading Yemen and supporting ISIS. And yet the Saudis just took over the leadership of the UN Human Rights Council. Zafar Bangash brings his wide knowledge on all of these topics, and explains why Saudis get away with everything: being allies of colonialism in the Middle East bring benefits to the Saudi ruling class.

#398 -- Unshackling Ourselves From War, Part 1

Veteran peace activist Kathy Kelly gives a powerful talk on the human costs of the US's elective wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She tells stories of average people caught on the ground in a war zone ... and of US-government-sonsored lies, crimes, and fraud in our conduct of war and alleged "reconstruction." And she tells stories of the courage of ordinary people in the war zones--people working to ease the suffering and repair the damage to their and their neighbors' lives.
