This episode of The Final Straw is served in three portions, all concerning prisons and prisoners.
Before the segments begin, a couple of announcements concerning upcoming events in Asheville, North Carolina for the days surrounding June 11th and the International Day of Solidarity with Long Term Anarchist and Eco Prisoners. These events include a Books to Prisoners open house at Downtown Books & News on Thursday the 11th at 3:30, a showing of a documentary about Mumia Abu-Jamal at 7:30pm at Firestorm that night and a dance party and pie auction on the night of the 13th at the Odditorium. Facebook pages exist for these events, with details listed.
Also in there is mention of the call-out for Monday the 8th & every Friday to protest the Durham County Jail's refusal to allow prisoners there the chance to get out of their cells for more than 2 hours a week. For more info on this struggle against the so-called Lockback, check out http://amplifyvoices.com
First among the segments, following commentary by Sean Swain, we'll hear an up date on his situation from his friend and supporter, Ben Turk. Sean's outgoing communication has been blocked, so his segment has had to go underground. This is in repsonse to Sean speaking up for another prisoner and using his outside support network to press the prisons after a racist attack by guards on a fellow prisoner at Lucasville. More at http://seanswain.org
Following that, we hear from Jenny of Sacramento Prisoner Support about the call-out for the upcoming June 11th International Day of Solidarity with Eric McDavid, Marius Mason & Long Term Anarchist and Eco Prisoners. Jenny tells us about the history of June 11th, talks about differences in the circumstance of June 11th for this year, and other aspects of prisoner support. More info on June 11th can be found at http://june11.org
Finally, we talk to Brianna Peril & Tommy Powell from the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee & the Missouri Innocence Project (respectively) about prisons in Missouri and what appears to be the psychiatrization and forced drugging of inmates at the SouthEast Correctional Center (SECC) outside of Charleston, Missouri, and this week's call-in-campaign to pressure the jailers to stop the process and bring more transparency to the situation. More about the call-in can be found on the fakebook page for the event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/405416019661232/

William Binney and Marcy Wheeler - NSA Spying for $
June 7, 2015, 10:18 a.m.
Resigned NSA Official Bill Binney and Author/Journalist Marcy Wheeler, PhD. discuss the impunity given NSA officials for lying
to Congress and the scope of the illegal, unconstitutional, but most significantly, ineffective electronic data collection (spying) of US citizens. Binney reveals that to protect their jobs and bureaucratic boondoggle, NSA analysts refused software that would have made them more effective and top level managers rejected something similar in an auditing program for their expenditures and effectiveness in achieving their mission. Binney states that bulk collection of data is not only unprofessional for intelligence but leaves the US vulnerable to further attacks. Public Radio host of "Worldview ", Jerome McDonnell is interlocutor. The event was one of many taking place around the globe as a part of Stand Up For Truth, a campaign to broaden public awareness of the value and importance of whistle blowers; people who reveal criminal activity in the public interest.

This week we put it on the producer to queue up his so called â10â and he gives us THE EXORCIST Considered the most shocking film of its time and often called the scariest movie ever made, William Friedkinâs tale of demonic infiltration packed a wallop in 1971. Listen to see where it landed with us in 2015.
Based on William Peter Blattyâs (1971) best-seller of the same name, The Exorcist tells us the story of Regan, a 13 year old girl played by the then unknown Linda Blair, a seemingly sweet and innocent soul who wakes up one day Suddenly prone to fits of rage and bizarre behavior, Regan proves quite a handful for her actress-mother, Chris MacNeil, played by Ellen Burstyn. When Regan gets completely out of hand, and slides deeper into darkness, the doctors are left clueless. With no other place to turn, Chris calls in young priest Father Karras (Jason Miller), who becomes convinced that the girl is possessed by the Devil and that they must call in an exorcist, namely, Father Merrin (Max von Sydow). His foe proves to be no run-of-the-mill demon, and both the priest and the girl suffer numerous horrors during their struggles â requiring sacrifices of the deepest order where only the struggle of good and evil can exist. The Exorcist received a theatrical re-release in 2000, in a special edition that added 11 minutes of footage trimmed from the filmâs original release and digitally enhanced Chris Newmanâs Oscar-winning sound work.
Often considered a culture landmark of cinema, The Exorcist is regarded as one of the greatest film achievements of all time. We round it out with our âTop 3 Practical Effects in Filmâ

#379 -- The Empire Turns on its Citizens
June 6, 2015, 3:29 p.m.
Two short talks by journalist/essayist CHRIS HEDGES on the bad effects of empire at home.
As empires buckle under their own weight, the harsh measures of control they use to subjugate countries abroad are turned on their own citizens. We see the evidence all around us: government spying on everyone, economic plunder, militarized police, trumped-up charges against dissenters, and the world's largest prison system.
The goal of the repression is to crush dissent and opposition, says Hedges.

Agricultural plants are frequently cited as examples of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Some benefits of genetic engineering in agriculture are increased crop yields, reduced costs for food or drug production, reduced need for pesticides, enhanced nutrient composition and food quality, resistance to pests and disease, greater food security, and medical benefits to the world's growing population. Advances have also been made in developing crops that mature faster and tolerate aluminum, boron, salt, drought, frost, and other environmental stressors, allowing plants to grow in conditions where they might not otherwise flourish. Several animals have also been genetically engineered to increase yield and decrease susceptibility to disease. For example, salmon have been engineered to grow larger and mature faster, and cattle have been enhanced to exhibit resistance to mad cow disease.
One controversy is over the use of a genetically modified plant involves the case of Bt corn. Bt corn expresses a protein from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. Before construction of the recombinant corn, the protein had long been known to be toxic to a several pest insects, including the monarch caterpillar, and it had been successfully used as an environmentally friendly insecticide for several years. The benefit of the expression of this protein by corn plants is a reduction in the amount of insecticide that farmers must apply to their crops. Unfortunately, seeds containing genes for recombinant proteins can cause unintentional spread of recombinant genes or exposure of non-target organisms to new toxic compounds in the environment.
The ethical issues surrounding GMOs include debate over our right to "play God," as well as the introduction of foreign material into foods that are abstained from for religious reasons. Some people believe that tampering with nature is intrinsically wrong, and others maintain that inserting plant genes in animals, or vice versa, is immoral. When it comes to genetically modified foods, those who feel strongly that the development of GMOs is against nature or religion have called for clear labeling rules so they can make informed selections when choosing which items to purchase. Respect for consumer choice and assumed risk is as important as having safeguards to prevent mixing of genetically modified products with non-genetically modified foods.
The motion was "Should We Genetically Modify Food?." Before the debate, the audience voted 32 percent in favor of the motion, with 30 percent against and 38 percent undecided. Afterward, 60 percent agreed with the motion, and 31 percent disagreed â making the side arguing in favor of the motion the winners of this debate.
For The Motion
Robert Fraley is executive vice president and chief technology officer at Monsanto, where he has worked for more than 30 years.
