The Metis People: Recognition, Reconciliation And Resistance
June 14, 2015, 3:40 p.m.
TheAngryindian speaks with Metis Nation political activist, feminist and writer Samantha Nock (halfbreedsreasoning.wordpress.com / @sammymarie) about her most recently published work: 'Protecting Our Truths', which discusses the residual, generational ethnocide suffered by her relations and other Indigenous Peoples because of the mistreatment they endured within the xenophobic and exploitative gulag of the Canadian Residential School system.
â
âHer frank and fearless essay is a powerful, soul-jarring narrative of historical pain, lingering grief and the proud refusal of the Metis People to die quietly for the benefit of Occupied Canada. As a writer, Ms. Nock embodies the soul of the humble warrior, articulating â with quiet eloquence â the Indigenous right-to-resist against Euro-Settler xenophobia and the incessant pressures of Anglophone hegemony. As an Indigenous feminist, she presents a strong and unapologetic voice to the humiliating disgrace of racist, misogynist indifference towards the welfare of Aboriginal Women past and present. By reminding us with each sentence that the silent defiance of our elders is an ongoing sacrifice many endure on behalf of their descendants, wishing to protect them from the horrors they experienced. It is a story of survival. And if you read nothing else this year, you owe it to yourself to read this.â

Summary: TheAngryindian asks: What is more important to the North American general public? The slow and agonising death of an innocent, young African man (Khalif Browder) who was falsely arrested; illegally detained; unlawfully brutalised and ultimately destroyed as a human being by individuals who operate a virtual US system of institutional injustice, the 43-year purgatory of solitary confinement endured by Bro. Albert Woodfox for being an unrepentant African-Rights activist or, the very public (and relatively peaceful and very expensive) transformation of former Olympic athlete Caitlyn Jenner, a staunch US Republican whose political party and social culture is proudly hateful and actively antagonistic towards Transgendered and African people alike. The blatant contradictions of such a scenario says much about the moral quality of the United States under the Obama administration and a lot more about the people who actually make up the US social fabric itself. EXTRA: Two archived conversations between the late journalist Gil Noble speaking with American African social activist and US political prisoner, The Hon. Bro. Jamil Al-Amin (H. Rap Brown) discussing the colonial state of the African in North America.

Lockback at the Durham County Jail
June 14, 2015, 1:31 p.m.
This week Bursts spoke with Steve from the Inside/Outside Alliance in Durham, NC. IOA is made up of folks with incarcerated family in the Durham County Jail, friends and concerned community members and they work to amplify and organize inside and outside (hence the name) of the jail walls to challenge the punishment those on the inside are facing.
In April of this year, Lt. Col. Natalie Perkins (who serves as Detention Director for the Durham Sheriff Michael D. Andrew's Dept) decided to cut people's access to out-of-cell time from up to 6 hours a day to 2 hours a week and limit their time out at the same time. This means that prisoners could maybe expect to take a shower and make a 2AM call to their family/lawyer once a week. The reasons for this change have shifted over the months from costs to potential danger to prisoners and Detention Officer's safety. The end result is an increased pressure on the mental health of the inmates, leading a greatly increased number of suicide attempts (so much so that the Sheriff's dept just requested funds to make the cells more suicide-proof rather than decrease the pressure on those they imprison).
Alongside of this is the increased cost and decreased quality of services available to those incarcerated at DCJ due to privatization of aspects. Aramark's medical services have doubled the rate for medical visits from $10-$20 each. Food under another service by Aramark has down-shifted from 3 hot meals to 2 sandwiches daily. The facility is contractually obliged to provide a certain number of inmates for Aramark to feed and to extract labor from in serving and cleaning up after their food services. And if an inmate's too hunger after their 4pm dinner of a sandwich, they are certainly free to buy junk food from the Aramark canteen if they have money in their commissary (via I-Care & FreshFavorites, both brands of Aramark). TouchPay services for putting money on an inmate's commissary account charges a $5 and some cent fee each time you use it and the DCJ has drastically cut back the hours of the fee-free window with a teller to help you make the transaction.
On top of all of this, the jail doesn't allow inmates to have pencils (ostensibly in case they become improvised weapons), so the only time that they can write to family, friends or their lawyers is during that 2 hour window a week. Their only way of making complaints is a receipt-free service using their TPay console, the same as they use to check their commissary.
The extractive and frighteningly Kafka-esque circumstances at this facility, one which like most in the United States disproportionately incarcerates poor people and people of color is certainly not one of a kind. To check out the work that folks at Inside/Outside and the inmates at Durham County Jail are doing, check out their website and listening page at http://amplifyvoices.com
In the last ten minutes we hear 2 aggressive musical tracks. Firstly, Ast from their recent split with Ancst (both German anarchist Black Metal projects) we hear the track Von Einem Ende.
Finally, we close out hearing Human Wreck with Liquid Savior from their album, Catch 22. Human Wreck is from Athens, Greece.

This week itâs Savageâs turn to pull his âPerfect 10â³ from the vastness of Netflix Instant, what we get is TRAINSPOTTING, the Danny Boyle directed film from 1996. Just to recap, the movie tells the story of Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor), a young man with few prospects and fewer ambitions, lives in economically depressed Edinburgh. Like most of his friends, Renton is a heroin addict who loves the drugâs blissful nothingness; financing his habit also provides excitement and challenges that his life otherwise lacks. Rentonâs two best friends are also junkies: Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), a snappy dresser obsessed with James Bond, and Spud (Ewan Bremner), a guileless nerd who suggests Pee Wee Hermanâs debauched cousin. Renton and his pals also hang out with Begbie (Robert Carlyle), a borderline psychotic who loathes junkies even though he drinks like a fish. After one too many brushes with the law, Renton kicks heroin and moves to London, where he finds a job, a flat, and something close to peace of mind. However, Sick Boy, Begbie, and Spud all arrive at his doorstep on the trail of a big score, leading Renton back into drugs and crime. The film was also the debut of Kelly McDonald, who plays the Diane, the young love interest and sometimes voice of reason to McGregor⦠Listen to see if we can follow suit with Savageâs perfect score as well as our âTop 3 Drug Induced Scenes in Moviesâ

#380 -- The Backlash Against Women
June 13, 2015, 7:13 p.m.
Jennifer Roesch explores the apparent contradiction in our culture: rampant hypersexualiztion and commodification of women but also increasing repression of women's sexuality. In combatting the former, she argues, we should not promote the latter. Let's not recreate the 1950s--the late 1960s are a better model of progress and liberation.
For Roesch, the ultimate cause of both sleaze and repression is capitalism run amok. And we can't have sexual freedom without social and economic freedom.

The Next Economic System with Gar Alperovitz and Ed Whitfield
June 13, 2015, 5:28 p.m.
Getting Serious About the Next Economic System
With
Gar Alperovitz, author, What Then Must We Do?and The Next American Revolution: Beyond Corporate Capitalism and State
Socialism
In an era when systemic critique of the economic and political institutions of the United States is poised on the edge of mainstream consciousness: the realities of a changing climate, an irrationally destructive financialized economic system, a long and steady historical trajectory concentrating political power along with wealth, are becoming impossible to ignore. How can we consciously come together around this opportunity to offer a coherent vision of what a "next system" might look like? Gar Alperovitz is a leading proponent and practician of local socialized Alternatives to the current economic system. He here summarized some of the Concrete experiments in social change happening and being proposed across the country including Worker cooperatives, municipal and state economic enterprises, state and municipal banks, land trusts, and single payer health insurance and lays out a new initiative to expand visibility and support for an alternative economic system: The Next System Project : New Political-Economic Possibilities for the 21st Century.
*******************************
The Building Blocks for a Just Economic System
with
Ed Whitfield, Co-Managing Director of the Fund for Democratic Communities speaks and writes on issues of cooperatives and
economic development while continuing to be interested in issues of war and peace, as well as education and social responses to racism and is active in the call by the Southern Grassroots Economies Project (SGEP) to develop a Southern Reparations
Loan Fund
More and more people are disenfranchised from and disenchanted by our economic system with its long and steady historical trajectory concentrating political power along with wealth amongst the few, and a monstrous apparatus of prisons and policing that are increasingly prevalent. And, Ed Whitfield is one of the theoreticians/activists who offers us a coherent vision of what building a "next system" might look like. Whitfield talks about his work in the South and beginning to build for a far for equal and justice society.
