Venezuela is not a Threat, We are Hope
May 17, 2015, 8:45 p.m.
Ambassador, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Maximilien Sanchez Arvelaiz was invited to speak by Chicago Stands With Venezuela, a solidarity committee that took exception to President Obama issuing an Executive Order (3/9/2015) declaring Venezuela "a national emergency with respect the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security" of the US (The hypocrisy of the Executive Order is detailed in the background given by Professor Artz}.
The Ambassador speaks about the new relationships that the countries of Latin America are developing, and of some of the improvements his government has made, extending rights to all citizens, that have angered the mostly light skinned opponents of the Bolivarian Revolution. The "opposition", in conjunction with the US Government who since 2000 has spent over $120 million for "democracy promotion", seek to over throw, violently, a country democratically organized to provide for the life needs of all its people; literacy, healthcare, education, food security and dignity in old age. The Ambassador recounts the (Bosses) strike that attempted, but failed, to bring down the government and the current economic sabotage that is creating food shortages that US media tout as portending social collapse. The last question, from a student originally from Brazil, asks "What is Venezuela a hope for?"

This week, we're excited to present a conversation with Saralee Stafford and Neal Shirley, editors and authors of a new book out from AK Press entitled "Dixie Be Damned: 300 years of Insurrection in the American South". The book is a study of Maroon, Indigenous, White, Black, worker, farmer, slave, indentured, women and men wrestling against institutions of power for autonomy and self-determination. All of this in a region stereotyped to be backwards, slow, lazy, victimized and brutal. The editors do a smash-bang job of re-framing narratives of revolt by drawing on complex and erased examples of cross-subjectivity struggles and what they can teach us today about current uprisings in which we participate.
Throughout the hour we explore some of the examples that became chapters in the book, critiques of narrative histories and academia and what new ways forward might be towards an anarchist historiography. More on the book can be found at http://www.revolutionbythebook.akpress.org/dixie-be-damned-read-an-excerpt/ and keep an ear out for Saralee and Neal's book tour, coming to a bookspace near you.

BBC's Frontline interviews Haaretz journalist Gideon Levy
May 17, 2015, 12:35 p.m.
The feature presentation this morning is a radio interview with Haaretz journalist Gideon Levy conducted by prominent British journalist John Snow on a BBC program called Frontline. The interview was conducted in a room with several other journalists who joined in on the question portion of the show. Gideon Levy doesn't mince words in his analysis of Israel's nightmare government.
Before this, we pass on a Haaretz report of white Israelis' racism against their darker-skinned Ethiopian Jewish brethren. About 1% of the Israeli population are black Ethiopian Jews. Israel's engrained racism doesn't end with Palestinians! It also treats its Ethiopian brethren with contempt and brutality, not unlike U.S. behavior against black and poor.

DEMENTED FOREVER! This week we tap into our first John Waters fare as Savage has us queuing the the cult film Cecil B. DeMented, starring Stephen Dorff, Melanie Griffith, Maggie Gyllenahall, Alicia Witt and a then unknown Mike Shannon. In it, we go behind the scenes with a group of obsessed cinema terrorists whose goal in life is to avenge the crass sins of commercial movie culture through acts of brazen film making and vigilante outlaw cinema retribution. As the movie begins, the title character and his âSprocket Holesâ gang kidnap Honey Whitlock (Griffith), a beloved Hollywood movie star visiting Baltimore for the premiere of her latest blockbuster. Once Whitlock is their prisoner, DeMented (Dorff) and his horny, tattooed crew immediately go into production on Raving Beauty, the ultimate underground movie in which Whitlock is forced to play the insane owner of a failed art theater. Armed with lights, cameras, heavy artillery and courage to burn, DeMented and his guerrilla production team wreak havoc on the Baltimore film scene, hitting targets from the Maryland Film Commission to penetrating the high-security set of a major big-budget sequel. The movie also has a plethora of cameos and âWow, that guy!â cast sneakers â such as Ricki Lake, Kevin Nealon, Eric Roberts, Patty Hearst, and Rosanne Barr⦠We wrap it all up with our Top 3 Directors weâd âHonor with a Tattoo!â

#376 -- The Hidden Ideology of the News Media, Part 2
May 16, 2015, 1:33 p.m.
Another in our series of classic talks by Progressive political scientist MICHAEL PARENTI. This one--one of his best--dates from 1997.
This week, in Part 2, Parenti focuses on examples of U.S. imperialism and predatory corporate capitalism--and the role of the news media in promoting both.
Parenti demolishes the myth of "the liberal media." With wit, humor, facts, and examples, he shows the US news media to be little more than the propaganda arm of the corporations and the government.
