Rev. Susie the Floozie's "Post X-Day" Classic

After our promised global apocalypse and sci-fi sexual redemption did not materialize on July 5, 1998, I poured out my blistered feelings into this show. But the crushing disappointment gave way to a rhapsodic epiphany of joyous hope when I realized what we truly had left--and it was Slack abounding. With Janis Joplin wailing her "Kozmic Blues" so sweet and hot that it can bring you to tears, this is my manifesto on what it really means what it is to be a SubGenius.

Maharlika Integral Emergence is a collective in Davao working with communities to promote self-care, explore autonomy, build alternatives to the deadly duo of State and Capital and it's ecocidal path.

If you're in the Asheville area, we'd like to remind you that tonight, Sunday the 12th at 5pm is the grande-opening of Firestorm Cafe & Books at it's new location at 610 Haywood Road at the intersection of Haywood Rd & State St in West Asheville.

The space is called Feral Crust and in Manila operate a squatted infoshop, school and garden in a small squatted neighborhood. To contact them for more questions, drop them a line at feralcrust(aaat)riseup(dot) net http://feralcrust.noblogs.org/ We'd also like to mention that AshevilleFM is currently at the Big Crafty Festival in Asheville from noon-6pm today, come check out the booth and sign up to be a volunteer!

We here at The Final Straw are soliciting sticker/poster/logo design to provide fascinating swag for our listeners! The design must include our web address, show name & imagery reflecting the nature of the radio show. Chosen artists will receive gifts of t-shirts and other anarchy goodies. You can email your designs in pdf form to bursts@ashevillefm.org or a physical copy can be sent to: The Final Straw c/o AshevilleFM 864 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC 28806 A reminder: The Klu Klux Klan has called for a rally at the steps of the state capitol of South Carolina in Colombia on Saturday the 18th at 3pm. Folks are planning a counter-demonstration on the day to make it known that these jokers are not welcome in the streets. Check out http://columbiascdemocallout.tumblr.com/ for more info, or follow them on their twitter handle, @antiracistSC. From their site: "On Saturday, July 18th, the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan will assemble on the statehouse grounds in Columbia, SC. And we will confront them. This rally is part of a recent wave of anti-Black terror, from the Charleston massacre to the arson of Black churches, that has strategically sought to build upon a white racist backlash against the #BlackLivesMatter, anti-police uprisings of the past year. We call upon all those who can #BlackLivesMatter activists, community organizers, anti-racists, anarchists and other radicals, and anyone else furious with racism and the police—to converge on Columbia, confront the Klan, and defy their message of white supremacy. History has shown—from the armed standoff against a lynch mob in Columbia, TN, in 1946 to the 1958 Battle of Hayes Pond, from the Deacons for Defense to the armed defiance of Monroe,NC’s NAACP chapter, from the 1979 Greensboro Massacre to the 1997 confrontation with the Klan in downtown Asheville, NC—that we must oppose white supremacist organizing actively and physically, in our streets and neighborhoods. The KKK is only a small group, whose ability to inflict racist violence actually pales in comparison to that of structures of oppression like the police, the economy, and the state. But the sentiment that groups like the KKK hold runs deep through the currents of whiteness in this country, and is a major obstacle to our struggles against these larger structures. Explicit manifestations of white supremacy like the Klan are one way that the state will seek to contain the #BlackLivesMatter organizing and anti-police riots of the last year; at this historic juncture, a large Klan rally in the South cannot go unchallenged. Bring banners, bring a friend, and bring your anger and rage against the white supremacy that courses through the veins of this society. See you in Columbia." Along the lines of last week's announcement of great audio projects to check out outside of asheville, I'd suggest folks interested in a fantastic North American prison related show give a listen to The Prison Radio Show on CKUT, out of McGill University in Montreal. The show airs on the second Thursday of every month between 5-6 pm CST as part of CKUT News’s Off The Hour (http://ckut.ca/c/en/oldgrid/thursday,17:00) & the fourth Friday (http://ckut.ca/c/en/oldgrid/friday,11:00) of every month between 11am and 12pm CST. More at prisonradioshow.wordpress.com Also for a great look at audio anarchy in the Philippines - and to see what this week's guests typically work on - you can check out the pirate radio station RADYO ITIM at https://radyoitim.wordpress.com/, or at 107.9FM if you are listening in Davao.

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night

This week we chomp into A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, The first Iranian Vampire Western ever made! Ana Lily Amirpour’s debut basks in the sheer pleasure of pulp. A joyful mash-up of genre, archetype, and iconography, its prolific influences span spaghetti westerns, graphic novels, horror films, and the Iranian New Wave… And it goes a bit like this. The film opens with a scene of a vast wasteland, Bad City, a quasi ghost town wasteland populated with oil drilling machines and a palpable sense of being. Here, Arash a lonely teenager lives with his drug addicted father who consistently owes money to his dealer. Arash tries his best to make a living working as a gardener for a rich family, where he’s managed to keep the wolves at bay, as well as save enough for a sweet ride! Unknown to him though, the city is inhabited by an equally lonely young vampire whose name we never learn. She acts as a sort of vigilante, choosing to feed from those who she considers “bad”, killing them without mercy. When one night she runs into Arash, she will finally know the possibilities that love offers, and that even in Bad City, a small glimmer of hope can shine… Listen to see how we “Round table” this one. We also cap it off with our Top 3 Cinematic Directorial Debuts.

Expressive Therapist Khitam Edelbi's Dream Becomes a Reality

This week in the feature presentation, we discuss a dream that became a reality under the most difficult circumstances in Palestine. The dreamer, Khitam Edelbi, is an expressive therapist, a graduate of Lesley University, who has returned to the Boston area from East Jerusalem to share her remarkable story and hopefully raise some needed funds to broaden her work with children, teachers and parents living under occupation. Khitam has been on This Week In Palestine before talking about her dream, but this is the first time she has been on since her dream became a reality. Before that, we begin this week with an analysis by the independent journalist, Jonathan Cook, who lives and works in Nazareth. His concern: the perpetual fear mongering of Benjamin Netanyahu. Here he writes: (Jonathan Cook article). Also: We often refer to Israel as an apartheid state, where Jim Crow style discrimination is practiced against the Palestinian people, and are often taken to task by Zionists who accuse us of exaggeration or worse. So from time to time we just cite incidents and facts that we think make the apartheid case. Here is a Mondoweiss article based on a report by the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem. It is a report on how Israel’s discriminatory policies are imposed even into the West Bank area A, which, theoretically, is under the control of the Palestinian Authority, not Israel. Here is how the Israeli military expelled 200 Palestinians from a pool in their own village to allow Israeli settlers to bathe in a segregated situation. (Mondoweiss report).

Mexican Farm Workers Struggle in Historical Strike in Baja California

Mexican Farm Workers Struggle in Historic Strike with . Al Rojas, a Founding Member of the United Farm Workers; current Pres. , Sacramento Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (AFL-CIO) . Eduardo Rosario, Executive Board Member, NYC Chapter, Labor Council for Latin American Advancement Mexican farm workers in the San Quintin Valley of the state of Baja California are calling for international action to support their demands for decent wages and an end to labor abuses by international produce companies that operate through-out Mexico primarily for export to the US under the label of Driscoll s. More than 33,000 farm workers declared a historic strike in late March which stopped work at peak harvest and have continued their protests ever since waging intermittent strikes and road blocks and mass mobilizations which have extended to workers in Washington State. They compare their working conditions to those that existed during the colonial period with workdays of more than 15 hours . The San Quintin Valley is a major producer of fruits and vegetables that are exported primarily to the United States. Workers here pick as many as 160 kilos a day that sell for more than $2,000, while the workers make on average US$7 a day. The workers are demanding a base salary of at least $13 for every 8-hour workday as well as recognition by companies and union officials.
