Overtime Proposal a Win and Haitian Rights in the Dominican Republic
Aug. 22, 2015, 3:31 p.m.
Marching with The Coalition For Human Rights In The Dominican Republic
What we are seeing today is not a Haitian crisis, it s not a Dominican crisis, City Councilman Mathieu Eugene (D-Brooklyn) said. It is a human rights crisis. This is injustice. This is not right. This is discrimination. Councilman Eugene came together with an expansive coalition to condemn the looming expulsions by the Dominican Republic ( DR ) of Haitian immigrants, including those born there as immoral and racist and a human rights crisis. The current crisis has its roots in a 2013 court ruling that stripped the citizenship of persons born in the DR whose parents weren t Dominican citizens. An estimated 460,000 Haitian migrants live in the Dominican Republic, which shares the Caribbean island of Hispaniola with Haiti.

Why a New Overtime Proposal is a Win for Working Women
with
Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner is an Award-Winning Author, and Co-Founder and Executive Director/CEO of MomsRising, a National Online and On-The-Ground Grassroots Organization that Promotes Policies Aimed at improving Family Economic Security; Helping Families and Children, and to End Discrimination Against Women and Mothers.
For months we ve heard that the economy is finally moving in the right direction, except for one hitch: working people s wages, particularly those of women, are not going up. One big reason: for years, millions of workers have clocked in more and more hours without ever seeing overtime pay. That s wrong. Too many workers, most of whom are women, are watching their finances be stretched to the limit because even though they work overtime, they are not compensated for the work they do. Working women deserve better. By increasing the salary threshold to $50,444 " meaning if you make less than that, you re guaranteed protection - 3.2 million more women will be automatically eligible for overtime. This would be a major win for working women.

Palestine Comedian Amer Zahr in performance
Aug. 21, 2015, 2:26 p.m.
We have a special treat for our feature presentation this week. Comedian Amer Zahr, shortly before he appeared at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, gave an interview and speech which comes to us courtesy of the Palestine center in Washington, DC. Because of length it's excerpted.
From a Kennedy Center announcement: "Amer Zahr presents 'Being Palestinian Makes Me Smile.' Palestinian-American comedian and writer Amer Zahr brings his particular style of comedy to the Kennedy Center for one night only. Did you think Palestinians don't know how to laugh? Well, this performance may make you think again! ..."
Before that: For the last several days, we have been hearing about the fallout from the horrific burning death of infant Ali Dawabsheh by Jewish settlers who set fire to his home, as well as the murder of Shira Banki at the Jerusalem gay pride march, acts of hate that are now all too commonplace in Israel. These kinds of crimes strike at the soul of Israel because they are a product of an occupation that corrupts the occupier, Israel, as it suffocates the victim, Palestine. The Israeli leadership says all the âright thingsâ in the wake of these crimes, but their words are ring hollow because they are perpetrators of the occupation which pushes the extremists to these violent acts.
Some in Israel recognize the seriousness of these incidents as they reflect on Israeli society and its moral depravity.
We present an 8-4-2015 editorial from the Israeli Newspaper Haaretz that articulates what these crimes mean for Israel, and puts the blame directly where it should go.

Phil Taylor and Phil Conlon give a lead in to next week's show, an interview with Olive Senior, author of Dying to Better themselves: West Indians and the Building of the Panama Canal.
Phil Taylor, joined by Phil Conlon, notes the important debate on Black Agenda Report regarding the Black Lives Matter movement (BLM). Phil evaluates the importance of BLM in light of the watershed racism agenda that negatively dominates the US elections. Taylor emphasizes "...the dividing line between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton doesn't exist. It is just a question of what is your favorite name...."
The two Phils note the political inconsistencies, hypocrisies and shenanigans of the Canadian electoral system and candidates who "dance" around the issues, including the NDP (New Democratic Party). Taylor notes: All play defense and ponder "how do I back into office."
Taylor and Conlon also discuss UK popular and long-time MP Jeremy Corbyn, who is working to lead the labour party. Corbyn has important stands regarding reality of war against Ukraine, Palestinian rights, and getting rid of NATO and nuclear weapons.
Robert and Michael Meeropol, sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, letter to the NYT calling on the Obama government to exonerate their mother, who was wrongly convicted of espionage charges and wrongly executed. Phil addresses the unethical collaboration between one of the prosecutors, Roy Cohn, and the trail judge, Irving Kaufman.

Thomas Mountain discusses his recent article, "US vs China in Djibouti." China is working with the Goulet government to create a military station with 10,000 Chinese troops/personnel that will join the US and French military bases (as well as a small Japanese force). Will the US Congress dream up human rights violations, anti-democracy government and regime change plan?
Mountain points out that Djibouti President Goulet was born in Ethiopia, is the nephew of previous President and tends to run Djibouti as his own private fiefdom. He is making the appearance (real or not?) of welcoming the Chinese, who are completing a $3 billion railroad for Addis Ababa (capital of land-locked Ethiopia), at least $400 million upgrading the undersized but vital port and infrastructure development projects. The US monetary aid and development contributions are minuscule compared to the Chinese.
Mountain also comments on the situation in Yemen, which is suffering one of the largest humanitarian crisis in the world due to the Saudi led bombings, drone attacks, and boots on the ground. Mass starvation and lack of clean water are the war policy. The Houthis don't have the money to run their military machinery. Mountain explains why Al Qaeda is the biggest beneficiary of the assassination program.
