Black History Month: Political Prisoners

Back in the USSR welcomes home comrade Albert Woodfox of the Black Panther Party after he endured 43 years of solitary confinement at the hands of the racist colonial capitalist state in America. Albert Woodfox, Geronimo Pratt, Fred Hampton Jr, Herman Bell, Anthony Bottom, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Eddie Conway, and too many others who struggled for liberation have faced the most brutal repression at the hands of a state that tried to erase them from history. But they would not be silenced, nor would they be broken. As Ho Chi Minh used to say, when the prison gates open, the dragon will fly out.

Edward Said examines and debunks the "Clash of Civilizations" myth

In our political discourse these days, we constantly hear that at the base of the conflict in the Middle East is a clash of civilizations. This theory, espoused by Harvard professors Bernard Lewis and Samuel Huntington in essays and books, claims that at the heart of the conflict is the fundamental difference between eastern and western cultures and values, and of course argues for the superiority of western Civilization. At the base of the Islamaphobic and anti-Arab speech in the media and at the center of so much of our vitriolic political discourse these days, is the emphasis of our cultural differences, and that we must dominate those inferior cultures lest they somehow take us over. It is they or we and this poisonous analysis can only lead to war and has. It is the Clash of Civilizations mantra and it is everywhere in our political discourse these days. Our feature presentation this morning offers a different vision. However, it was given 18 years ago in 1998 by the late Columbia Professor Edward Said in a lecture at the University of Massachusetts. He challenges what he calls the Myth of The Clash of Civilizations, and if only we had listened to him and sought to emphasize the commonality of our civilizations as well as the differences. Edward Said, perhaps the leading Palestinian intellectual of his time, died in 2003, but his prophetic voice offers special relevance in the current political scene, and that is why it is our feature presentation today. Here is Prof. Edward Said speaking on the Myth of the so-called "Clash of Civilizations."

The Ghost of Enoch Powell and the Transcendental neo-Nazism of Donald Trump

TheAngryindian engages in Afro-Indigenist flavoured spoken word to address the Trump train to Nazi-ville and why so many Africans, Native Americans and US Jews seem to be sleep-walking through the North American election cycle as the GOP becomes the 'new' American Nazi Party. TheAngryindian argues that it isn't as if we haven't seen this film played out many times before and that it makes absolutely no sense to ignore that many US citizens (not all of them Caucasian) are supporting a presidential candidate endorsed by the Ku Klan Klan terrorist group, American neo-Nazi and international fascist organisations and professional White Nationalists like Dr. David Duke. It also makes no sense that the DNC has not called this situation what it is, an attempt to institute a right-wing Euro-Supremacist super-state in North America that is also being conspicuously aided by a pro-fascist, corporate-owned US media. The question is: Is it possible for the masses to admit to themselves that if they had corrected and not codded their bigoted relatives and associates in the recent past, the spectres of Enoch Powell, Alf Garnett, Archie Bunker (Alf's American cousin) and other archaic caricatures of bygone ignorant eras who suffer from various forms of White Privilege and exceptionalism would not have lead to a Donald Trump personifying a new form of North American-styled fascism ? EXTRAS: Archived public radio interview with anti-fascist political analyst Chip Berlet is offered along with poetry from Afro-American voice, the late Amiri Baraka (formerly LeRoi Jones) and disinformational audio excerpts of a particularly Judeophobic rant by radical neo-Nazi Donald Trump backer David Duke being drowned-out by righteous, Ashkenazi Klezmer. All this and much more on, 4WR. The official internet radio broadcast of the Aboriginal Press News Service/ANG

Setbacks in Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina. The Future of the Left in South America

Argentina. Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia. All over South America, it seems that left of centre governments are losing their grip on the popular imaginations of their people. Do these developments signal the left's fall from grace on the continent? This week's Global Research News Hour focuses on South American politics, partcularly the gains and losses of the Left of Centre political parties and movements. In the first interview, prominent commentator, and award-winning author, Professor James Petras outlines the background that led to this situation and the efforts needed moving forward to preserve the gains of the left. A Bolivian activist, Sara Paulina Jauregui, joins us next to talk about why many Bolivians rejected the constitutional changes championed in a referendum recently. The show concludes with a return appearance by John Ahniwanika Schertow, editor and founder of Intercontinental Cry. He talks about the ways these leftist governments have failed Indigenous peoples, even comparing the Morales Government at one point to the government of former Conservative Canadian Prime MInister Stephen Harper!

What US Congress Researchers Reveal About Washington's Designs On Syria.

The White House has given many phony reasons for demanding regime change in Syria, saying they want stability, or reform, or to prevent the use of chemical weapons. While these reasons have been laughed at by observers who note Washington’s fondness for monarchs and its history of destabilizing sovereign countries, Stephen Gowans points out there is in fact a “reason”, one that is clearly spelled out in the records of the Congressional Research Service. America intends to remove Assad as an “impediment” to Israel’s hegemony in the region and to convert Syria from a “Soviet model” into a free market economy.

What is left out of Most Black History Discussions

On the occasion of Black History Month, Norman Richmond of “Uhuru Radio” talks about racism in sports and film, touching on the new film “Race”(Jesse Owens in the Berlin Olympics) and “Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution”. Missing from the Panther film is the fact the organization had a socialist program and internationalist outlook. Norman remembers when more truthful films were made, citing “Black Jesus” which starred the great athlete and actor Woody Strode in a story based on Patrice Lumumba.

Syrian army advances as ceasefire approaches.

Sahioune provides an update on the key areas of combat in these days before the Russian-US cease fire agreement goes into effect. He reports on the loss of a fine journalist and friend who has been killed by the terrorists who lately have begun to hit targets for sheer propaganda purposes to divert attention from their losses. A most important point in Steve’s commentary is that the Kurds fighters near the Turkish crossing zone are Syrians and part of the struggle to preserve the territorial integrity of their country.
