Hilary Klein on "Compañeras: Zapatista Women's Stories"
May 24, 2015, 1:07 p.m.
This week, William spoke with Hilary Klein, author/editor of the new book "Compañeras: Zapatista Women's Stories", out from Seven Stories Press.
Over the hour, Hilary talks about her 7 years of living in Chiapas and recording the stories and experiences of women there, collecting stories on their behalf. The book covers the Zapatistas experiences before the EZLN uprising of 1994, during that period and after. Discussion address what gender, indigeneity and class looked like and how that's changed in the Zapatista communities, the state of Chiapas and in Mexico. William and Hilary also explore the effects that the EZLN & La Otra Compaña have had on radicals and anarchists abroad, the origins of the EZLN, some parallels and distinctions between anarchism and Zapatismo and much more.

The Hidden American Gulag: TheAngryindian Speaks with George Mallinckrodt
May 23, 2015, 5:47 p.m.
TheAngryindian speaks with US Psychotherapist and Prisoner Rights Advocate George C. Mallinckrodt, author of 'Getting Away With Murder: A True Story' (2014) based on the tragic and violent death of Darren Rainey, a mentally-challenged state of Florida prison inmate who was literally 'cooked to death' while in custody as a punishment by vindictive correctional guards. They discuss the unconscionable lack of basic human rights and due process accorded to the incarcerated and the absurd levels of routine violence and horrible death-by-officer cases faced by the mentally ill and other vulnerable populations within the largest prison-complex in the world.
"Western Diplomat Accuses Syrian Government of hiding chemical weapons, on no evidence"
May 23, 2015, 4:03 p.m.
Gowans discusses his recent articles, "New York Times Complicit in Spreading False Syria Allegations" and "Western Hypocrisy Going Naked in the Middle East."
Gowans states that the NY Times title should be "Western Diplomat Accuses Syrian Government of hiding chemical weapons, on no evidence," as even the NYT admits they have no real evidence but only "strong suspicions" based on an unnamed Western diplomat.
Phil Taylor and Gowans compare the NYT's accusations against Assad to the NYT's accusations against Saddam Hussein having WMD, which after Iraq was bombed to death were proven to be false.
Gowans and Taylor discuss the divisive warmongering roles of Human Rights Watch (HRW, CEO Kenneth Ross) and Amnesty International (AI), both of whom claimed to have a picture of a Syrian City destroyed by the Assad government. Reality: The city was in Gaza, not Syria.

EXTRA: TheAngryindian sits with Bob Kincaid of Head on Radio (headonradio.com) broadcasting from Appalachia Country where they discuss the Waco shooting at the Twin Peaks business establishment; American xenophobia and racialism and the poverty of the US media system.
Marissa Alexander: While Batterers Go Free, Their Victims Get Prosecuted
May 22, 2015, 5:28 p.m.
While Batterers Go Free, Their Victims Get Prosecuted
featuring
Marissa Alexander, survivor of and organizer in defense of legal rights for victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse
Sumayya Coleman, lead organizer for the campaign to Free Marissa Alexander and the African-merican/Black Women's Cultural Alliance
Marissa Alexander, the Florida mother whose case became a rallying cry for anti-racism activists and survivors of domestic violence, was released recently after three years of incarceration. Alexander, in fear for her life had faced up to 60 years behind bars for firing a single warning shot to deter her abusive husband. The public outcry in support of Marissa was successful in causing the sentence to be reduced, but nevertheless Marissa was forced to plead guilty to assault in exchange for credit for time served and received two years of electronic monitoring and house arrest. Marissa whose case has drawn national attention should be free and her case continues to raise larger issues of public interest and social around
the stateâs criminalization of victims of domestic and sexual violence. Marissaâs case has long sparked outrage about the unequal application of
the law for both Black Americans and women. Marissa was prosecuted by Angela Corey, who was also the prosecutor in the trial of George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in the February 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin and who evoked âstand your groundâ laws in his defense, while Marissa who was in actual fear for her life was denied the right to use that defense. Marissa granted us an exclusive interview where she and her
critical supporter Sumayya Coleman speak about the plight of and in defense of legal rights for victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse

Alan Weisman talks with Francesca Rheannon about the population crisis and how we can solve it. The Earthâs population is expected to be somewhere around 11 billion people by the end of this century. Alan says overpopulation already underlies much of the conflict we see in the world today, including Israel/Palestine and Pakistan. Also the population crisis means weâre going to have to produce more food in the next 50 years than has been consumed in all of human history.
"He makes a strong case for slowing global population growth - and even for reducing overall population numbers - as a prerequisite for achieving a sustainable future...Weisman's book...offers hope... Weisman's emphasis on expanding access to contraception as the next-best strategy is both pragmatic and workable, as past efforts have shown. It is to be hoped that his message may be heeded sooner rather than later." ~ Nature magazine

A New Climate
In just a few decades the coldest day you experience in January will be hotter than the warmest days your parents had in January and the hottest day you get in July (in the Northern hemisphere) will simply be hotter than any day anyone has ever felt in your city to date.
Scientists at the University of Hawaii have figured out a way to pinpoint when weather extremes at a given location will move outside the range of anything weâve known in modern times. Geographer Abby Frazier tells Steve Curwood itâs going to be sooner then we might think.

Ralph Nader speaks: Getting Important Things Done with Left-Right Convergence
May 22, 2015, 1:26 p.m.
Ralph Nader spoke at length on 5-17-2015 at the Follen Church (Lexington, MA). His main focus was how to get really important, but seemingly impossible, things done by forming a convergence of opposite forces.
Nader is on book tour for his two most recent books, "Unstoppable: The Emerging Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State" (2014) and "Return to Sender: Unanswered Letters to the President, 2001-2015" (2015). The latter publishes his many unanswered letters. His very first book was "Unsafe at Any Speed" (1965), and he is author of many more. At age 80, Nader offers frequent public presentations, exuding passion and wisdom.
One of Naderâs surprising discoveries has been that diametrically opposite groups often share some really important positions. For example, true liberals and true conservatives agree in wanting universal health care, civil liberties, good minimum wage, and publicly owned and run public facilities. They also hate racism, monopolies, Wall Street, corporate welfare, and unconstitutional wars. Of course they do disagree on other issues such as marriage, abortion, guns, and taxation. Nader addresses this and calls it the âyuk factorâ that we must overcome. Heâs not talking here about middling compromises between Democrats and Republicans. Heâs talking about real change wanted by all of us.
Nader calls the elite cabal that currently runs our country âcorporatists.â Many (if not most) corporatists proclaim themselves to be conservative, but theyâre really big business radicals. Nader decided to spend some time reading the works of Adam Smith, often cited as the "hidden hand of the market" philosopher, along with other early conservative thinkers. He found that the corporatists have been quoting them out of context.
Truth and Justice Radio was there to record. Broadcasters may want to break the recordings into parts for broadcast. Nader's initial presentation was 72 minutes long; Q&A was substantive and went another 40 minutes (posted here as a separate file). We donât recommend broadcasting the organizer's 4-minute intro, also posted here; he was not near a mike, resulting in poor audio quality.
Youâll hear squeaks and bumps in the main recording. These are attributable to the antique podium where Nader spoke and our microphone sat. That podium was originally owned and used by Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose daily insights Nader recommends. The site homeinsteaders.org/authors/ralph-waldo-emerson/ provides a sample of these.

This week's Global Research News Hour focuses on the phenomenon of concentration of media ownership and how that serves to distort public discourse and by extension the fabric of our democracy.
We start with Mel Hurtig, a prominent former bookseller, publisher, and outspoken Canadian Nationalist, and author of several books including The Vanishing Country, Pay the Rent or Feed the Kids, and his latest, The Arrogant Autocrat: Stephen Harper's Takeover of Canada. In this recently recorded interview Hurtig shares his concerns about the unprecedented concentration of media ownership in Canada, including how it distorts reporting on critical stories about free trade and climate change, why Canada's State Broadcaster, the CBC is likewise suffering a deterioration in its reporting, and why the explosion of internet and digital media does not make up for the shifting of the mainstream even further toward profit-driven, as opposed to public-interest driven news and opinion.
In the second half hour, occasional contributor Kellia Ramares-Watson brings us a marvelous conversation with Tracy Rosenberg, executive director of the progressive media advocacy group Media Alliance. They explore the threats to democracy associated with huge media companies dominating the majority of what audiences see read and hear, the dangers associated with the vertical integration of private internet service providers with content providers, and the need for a 'Global Public' to counter the influence of globalized capital.
