This week we're speaking wth Gary from Kansas City about the fast approaching day of solidarity with transgender prisoners which will occur this friday, January 22nd. In this interview we talk about Gary's past experiences with the prison system, the original call out for this day by trans prisoner Marius Mason, and the conditions that trans people generally face in prison, and the importance of focusing on this issue. For more on this day, to get ideas and to give report backs, you can visit http://transprisoners.net/

We also feature a segment from Dissident Island Radio's mid December show of 2015 about the changed security situation in France since the Paris attacks by Daesh-affiliated militants. The host of Dissident Island speaks with Camille, the name for anyone coming from the ZAD and speaking about experiences there. In this segment, Camille talks about the State of Emergency declared by the government of President Francoise Hollande, the suspensions of rights to publicly gather, the extension of the State of Emergency for 3 months, the challenges to folks with dual citizenship, the nighttime raids of immigrant communities and experiences of the folks at the ZAD as they enter a period of possible eviction. Camille also talks about how the ZAD at times acts as a refuge to immigrants and refugees seeking a break from state repression on a self-defended land project.

====================================
Statement from Marius Mason for the Trans Prisoner Day of Action and
Solidarity
"January 22nd 2016
Happy New Year, Family and Friends! Many, many thanks for so much support
and care over this year from both long-standing friends and new pen pals.
I feel very grateful and am always humbled by the encouragement and
resources sent my way by folks who are doing so much already to increase
our collective chances for survival. The news has been full of stories
about someone winning the big money pool that has accumulated for the US
Lotto - but the most important "win" has nothing to do with money. I am
betting on the movement to win big this year: in getting more control over
their communities and defending against police brutality and racial
inequality, in winning more victories for animal and in the defense of
wild spaces, in creating social relations based on respect, dignity and
compassion for all people.... regardless of their race, orientation,
creed or gender presentation.
Thank you for coming together today, to hold up those members of our
community who struggle so hard behind walls to keep their sense of self
intact. Sovereignty over our selves, our bodies is essential for any other
kind of liberty to be possible. By reaching out to trans prisoners, you
affirm their right to define themselves for themselves - and defend them
against the overwhelming voices who claim that they do not exist, that
they must allow others to define them. In the isolating environment of
prison, this is toxic and intimidating, and amounts to the cruelest form
of psychological torture. By offering your help and solidarity, you may
just save a life. I know that for the last year and a half, as I have
struggled to assert myself as a trans man, as I have advocated for the
relief of appropriate medical care for my gender dysphoria - it has been
the gentle and loving reminders of my extended family of supporters who
have given me strength and courage to continue. Please join me in offering
this help to so many others who need it to keep going. Never underestimate
the healing power of a letter, those letters have kept me going...and I
want to pass that gift on, if you will help me.
Thank you again for coming together on this day, for connecting to those
on the inside who truly need you, who need you to see them as they really
are and striving to be. Until the prisons are gone, we need to work hard
to support those of us inside - especially those of us who are not always
as visible to the rest of the world. We are always stronger together.
Marius Mason

David Bowie's Changes and Alan Rickman's Solidarity
Jan. 17, 2016, 11:34 a.m.
This episode of Back in the USSR is a little different. I rarely indulge in pop culture anymore, but I want to pay tribute, as a communist, to two men - David Bowie and Alan Rickman - who, for different reasons, have had a significant influence on me. David Bowie, for his ability to change and be self-critical when he had to be. Alan Rickman, for his support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against the Apartheid state of Israel and his solidarity with the Palestinian people. The ability to change and the ability to stand in solidarity, are qualities to be celebrated in a person. I hope these two people will be remembered for these qualities.

#411 -- Capitalism vs. Reality, Part 2
Jan. 16, 2016, 10:29 a.m.
Political scientist Michael Parenti refutes the claim that the "free enterprise system" (capitalism) promotes democracy and prosperity.
Part 2 focuses on prosperity. Drawing on the past 150 years of US history, Parenti shows that capitalism does not increase general prosperity. In fact it has brought regular recessions and depressions to ordinary citizens. Not "free enterprise" but massive government spending finally lifted America out of the depression of the 1920s and 1930s.
#728 - Globalizing The Occupation
Jan. 16, 2016, 6 a.m.
"You have to treat the public as potential terrorists - not as citizens", says Jeff Halper, describing the logic of the endgame of global capitalism, which he describes in his book as a "Global War Against The People". Pointing to its huge security-industrial-intelligence complex, he looks at Israel as a leader in this new economy. By exploiting the Palestinians as a resource, its research into methods of controlling a subject population has assisted in the development of weapons technologies such as drones and nanobots. In our second hour, we read a paper which looks at social structures and linguistic frames which are being rolled out to support hegemony worldwide by deliberately blurring the distinctions between violent terrorism and non-violent dissent.
