During and after the hunger strike, several of the hunger strikers were sent to prisons as far away as California, Virginia, West Virginia, and New Mexico. Others remain in Administrative Detention at Menard. Many of the 2014 hunger strikers wanted to know why they were there, and they wanted to know what they had to do to get out of Administrative Detention. Although the Illinois Department of Corrections now issues some notices, the notices still don’t answer those questions. The following information is drawn from letters received in September 2015 from prisoners in Administrative Detention at Menard, compiled by Alice Lynd. Here in A.D., everything is still the same. No one is being released and we are still not getting meaningful hearings. We are still not getting any written reasons or any new info relied on for the basis of the Committee’s decision for our continued placement in A.D. We are still getting the same vague memos. We now only get 1 day a week of out-of-cell exercise (yard). We are in our cells 24 hrs. a day, 6 days a week. We are being excessively confined in our cells. We are still not allowed to participate in any educational programs. Our mail is not being picked up or passed out 5 days a week, as they are supposed to. We don’t see any end to this indefinite isolation/solitary confinement. Due to these issues and more, we are going to go on hunger strike once again. *We will be declaring a hunger strike on September 23, 2015. *We will feel very thankful for your help in spreading the word. *Our core demands are:* We demand an end to long term solitary confinement. We demand minimum due process at Administrative Detention Review Hearings by providing inmates with written reasons, including new information relied upon, for Committee’s decision for our continued placement in A.D. and be allowed to grieve all adverse decisions. As it stands, the basis of the Committee’s votes are kept secret. We demand more access to outside recreation for the sake of our physical and mental health. As it stands, we are confined indefinitely to these cages for 6 days out of the week, with the exception of one 5 hour day. This is unbearable. We demand that meaningful educational programs be implemented to encourage our mental stability, rehabilitation, and social development for the sake of ourselves and our communities that we will one day return to. We demand access to more visiting privileges. For most of our families traveling to Menard is like traveling to another state. Considering the distance, 2 hour visits behind plexiglass is insufficient. We should be allowed 5 or 6 hours. Moreover, our family members, including inmates, should be provided the human dignity and decency to purchase food items and refreshments from vending machines after traveling such great distances. This would benefit one’s social development, as well as benefit prison staff environment. We ask the public’s help by calling the warden, the Director of the Illinois Department of Corrections, and the Governor on September 23, 2015, and so forth, to check on our welfare. Warden Kimberly Butler, 618-826-5071 Menard Correctional Center 711 Kaskaskia Street Menard, IL 62259 Director John Baldwin, 217-558-2200 Illinois Department of Corrections 1301 Concordia Court P. O. Box 19277 Springfield, IL 52794-9277 Governor Bruce Rauner, 217-782-0244 Office of the Governor 207 State House Springfield, IL 62706 We will stay on hunger strike as long as possible in order to hopefully bring some change to our conditions. We thank you for any kind of support you can give us.

Rev. Susie's Katrina Show, ch. 11: "Lord of the LIES!"

After last week's violently tumultuous episode, things seem to have wrapped up nicely. Jeb Robertson Bush has at last tracked his rogue brother through the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged bayous and killed the shithead with extreme prejudice. YES! George has finally been captured, slaughtered, and decapitated, his bloody, gutted remains abandoned in the swamps. You'd think Jeb's problems would finally be over. You'd be surprised.

---

Rev. Susie's Katrina Show ch. 10: "DEATHMATCH!"

As Jeb "Snake Plissken" Robertson Bush beats the bayous tracking his renegade half-brother George, he tortures information out of shellshocked hurricane survivors and reminisces about the convoluted genetic path that brought him to this pivotal point. The flashback-memories that well up in Jeb's mind throw stark light on the twisted intertwining histories of the Robertson/Bush dynasties. Meanwhile, George is all fucked up with nowhere to go--drunk off his ass and wandering the swamps aimlessly in a drag disguise, the idiot is unaware that his meandering path is drawing him closer and closer to a brutal date with Destiny--and boy, is SHE pissed at him. All bets are off as the two presidents finally face each other in the middle of a storm-ravaged Louisiana battleground. And this fact is TRUE: Someone will DIE tonight. And *badly,* too. The incredible jaw-dropping violence of the last three minutes is NOT TO BE MISSED. You'll want to fap to it later, believe me.

Rev. Susie's Katrina Show ch. 9: "The Burning Bush!"

Jeb, going by his merc name "Snake," has been dropped into the Hurricane Katrina Zone on a mission to slay his evil half-brother George. Snake shakes down rattled, frightened storm victims for info about the renegade president, but the two Bush boys keep missing each other as they wander the tangled swamps. George, free of both his kidnapper and the treacherous hussy Michael Brown, is feeling footloose and fancy-free -- until he runs into a clutch of storm victims himself. George's helpless arrogance seals his fate as the ravaged, angry survivors respond to him not with fear but with righteous wrath... which eventually erupts in a flashpoint of violent mob vengeance. Hence the title. As for music, there's at least a great version of "Bad Moon Rising" by 16 Horsepower, some Peter, Paul, & Mary for the ones who are all folked up, "Roll the Bodies Over" by Stump (I think), and an oldtimey gospel hymn called "Echoes from the Burning Bush" -- for obvious reasons.

#395 -- Pinter on Truth, Lies, and War (1)

Playwright HAROLD PINTER's Nobel Prize acceptance speech of 2005 (newly edited by KD) is a stunning indictment of U.S. wars and imperialism since 1945. He contrasts dramatic art (where "truth" is elusive, perhaps unknowable) with public life. Here truth can be known. But citizens DON'T know the truth because the government is lying and deceiving nonstop to cover up its imperialist plundering and its vicious wars of aggression. (Continued under "Credits.)

interviews journalist/Broadcaster Charles Boylan

Charles Boylan is a Canadian radio broadcaster and political activist. He is the former producer of Wake up with co-op and currently hosts the program Discussion, on CFRO 100.5FM; a community-run, co-operatively-owned, non-corporate radio station broadcasting from Vancouver, British Columbia. Boylan has also run for political office federally and provincially as a representative of the Marxist–Leninist Party of Canada and People's Front respectively (He is currently running in the current federal election for the ML Party) in Vancouver. Charles speaks about the the long struggle by Rolf Gerstenberger (former head of United Steelworkers Local 1005) and the workers in Hamilton Ontario, Since 2003, under Rolf's presidency, Local 1005 led Hamilton steelworkers to defend their rights and the rights of all, in tough battles against company demands for concessions, their phoney bankruptcy schemes, a brutal lockout, and the wrecking of steel production for the benefit of foreign monopolies. Local 1005 spoke on behalf of not just the Hamilton steelworkers, but the working class and all working people with the call to keep Stelco, Hamilton and Canada producing and to give Canada an aim on the basis of a modern nation-building project which provides the rights of the people, not the privileges of the rich, with a guarantee. Local 1005 also became known far and wide as a champion of the rights of the Indigenous peoples, injured workers, pensioners, women and all others. The interview presents a model for the Union movement in this current era, how to carry on the fighting spirit of '46 in the present conditions.

#718 - The Increasing Shallowness of The Deep State

This week, material from 15 years back through to 5 days back detail continued deep state malfeasance hidden in plain sight. Did you hear the story of the CIA "bad apple" who sold a planeload of military grade C-4 explosive to Libya, together with a course in bombmaking by US Green Berets? Or how the CIA's Inspector General perjured himself to try and cover it up... only to be later granted immunity when the truth emerged? Don't try this at home! Our main piece is James Corbett's review of what has emerged in the last 20 years about the Oklahoma City bombing. We conclude with an open letter by Nafeez Ahmed to "Britain's leading violent extremist" - David Cameron. Why does he ignore the leading researchers (including many in his own government) and surround himself instead with deceitful terror "experts" who have spookily close connections to the arms industry and the deep state? I wonder...

Puerto Rico's Economic Crisis with Rafael Bernabe, 2012 Candidate for Governor of Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico's Economic Crisis: Analysis, Alternatives and Solutions with Rafael Bernabe, candidate for Governor of Puerto Rico for the Partido del Pueblo Trabajador (PPT) 2012; he is professor and director of the Federico de On s Hispanic Studies Center at the University of Puerto Rico at R o Piedras; economist; who has published three books including Puerto Rico: Crisis y Alternativas The fiscal situation in Puerto Rico is dismal. Public debt (including that of the central government and public corporations) stands around $73 billion and is roughly equal to Puerto Rico s GNP. The government s credit rating has been degraded to junk bond level. Any new credits seem to be available only at truly usurious rates (above 10 percent). Wall Street commentators admit that It s been clear for a while that Puerto Rico is going to have to default on its debt Bloomberg, 4/9/14). The other side of this coin is the fact that two dozen U.S. corporations extract around $35 billion a year in profits from or through their operations in Puerto Rico. Bear in mind that the total income of the government of Puerto Rico is around $9 billion. U.S. corporations benefit from the tax-exemption measures that have been the centerpiece of the government s development policy since 1947. We ll speak with Prof. Bernabe who further details the current economic crisis affecting the island of Puerto Rico, a United States colony. He will speak about the history of the Puerto Rican economy, the federal and local laws that impact its economy, the current status of its bonds, and the proposed bankruptcy relief and austerity measures. Prof. Bernabe explains why it s in the interest of U.S. working people (including, needless to say, the more than four million Puerto Ricans that reside in the United States) to see that Puerto Rico acquires a healthy economy that no longer requires major subsidies to dampen the poverty from which a handful of U.S. corporations profit. Prof. Bernabe says the struggles for radical reversal of the dominant economic and social policies and structures in Puerto Rico and in the US must advance together. Building alliances and common proposals with like-minded currents and movements in the US is indispensable For those of us who are independentistas and socialists, and thus, internationalists, such collaboration is essential now and will remain so after independence. The fact that these movements are still minority forces in both the US & Puerto Rico makes it all the more urgent that those seeking to build them join forces and collaborate.
