Out of the Woods - Show #260 - 4-4-15
March 31, 2015, 4:09 p.m.
This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length.
Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Kate MacLeod, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

Conversation between Max Blumenthal and Ali Abunimah (part 2 of 2)
March 30, 2015, 6:10 p.m.
This morning we continue our presentation of the conversation between Max Blumenthal, journalist and author, and Ali Abunimah, journalist, author and co-founder of the Electronic Intifada. Last Sunday we presented the first half of their conversation at the Roxy Theater in San Francisco, and pick it up as they discuss Israelâs penchant for green washing. The conversation is based on Ali Abunimahâs latest book, the Battle for Justice in Palestine.
But first, some important news and commentary:
Surprise, surprise, Netanyahuâs Likud Party won 30 seats in the Knesset in the election this past week, and he is headed to a fourth term as Israelâs Prime Minister. That is okay, because no change was coming despite whoever was elected and with Netanyahu we know what we are getting without any illusions about possible positive change. As Ali Abunimah said following the election:
âNetanyahuâs re-election is like the 'Nutrition Facts' label on a box of junk food: it tells you about the toxic ingredients inside.â
And while the US Congress and the American right are rejoicing, Europe and most of the rest of the international community are sure to double down on promoting BDS and continuing to isolate Israel for what it is, a segregated, unjust, apartheid state. And Netanyahu, in order to win, at the last minute threw out red meat to his right wing base by stating what we all knew anywayâ¦he is opposed to a two state solution. From the beginning of his administration he has done everything in his power to make sure that there is no possibility for a two state solution through his land expropriation settlement development, construction of the apartheid wall, the pass roads and myriad of check points. The Zionist vision has always been to take the land, and that is exactly what Israel has done while babbling about a two state solution. Finally Netanyahu gets honest, and hopefully the international community will double its efforts to hold him accountable.

This week's show, we rebroadcast an interview from 2013 with Krow, aka Katie Kloth, followed by updates on the 2-week old hunger strike at OSP Youngstown, the release of the 5e3 prisoners in Mexico & recent metal, deathrock and punk from around the world.
Krow is an anarchist, environmental and indigenous rights activist. At the time of the original interview, Krow had been facing charges stemming from a protest where eco-activists found workers from Global Taconite, a mineral mining company attempting to extract iron ore from the hills of Iron County, Wisconsin, secretly test-drilling. Krow was charged with throwing a worker's camera away and minor assault which was caught on a video. A link to the video will be included in this episode's blog post.
Krow was sentenced to 9 months in jail this January, 2015. In addition, according to the Ashland Daily Press, Krow will have five years of probation with the felony charge and two years with the misdemeanor including a work release where they'll be pressed to work a full-time job as a way of normalizing them and their activities. Otherwise known as domestication. Krow is now also facing charges from District Attorney Martin Lipske of bail jumping for allegedly participating in an anniversary protest in a "forbidden zone" in the Penokkee range controlled by Global Taconite along with 45 other people. Lipske appears to have it out for Krow, who had initially filed charges could have resulted in a 15 year sentence for Krow.
After the conversation with Krow, I'll read their post-sentencing statement. For more on the case, check out penokeedefenders.wordpress.com & http://earthfirstjournal.org/newswire/2015/01/22/wisconsin-eco-activist-krow-sentenced-to-9-months-for-2013-mining-disruption/

Also this hour we announce the recent news of the release of Amelie, Carlos & Fallon from prison in Mexico on March 13th. They were charged with a molotov attack January 5th of 2014 on a Nissan dealership and the neighboring government offices of the Mexican Department of Transportation and Communication and had faced serious charges relating to terrorism because people were in the government office at the time. The 3 collectively were known as the 5e3. Amelie and Fallon, both Quebecoise, were deported back to Canada. We're happy that they've been able to rejoin their friends and loved ones and that Carlos Lopez Martin with his child.
To hear some words from Amelie & Fallon while they were imprisoned in Mexico, check out thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org and search 5e3
Translations of their letters can be found here: http://waronsociety.noblogs.org/?tag=5e3
Also of note in prison-related things:
From LucasvilleAmnesty.org
On Monday March 16th, over 30 supermax prisoners at Ohio State Penitentiary went on hunger strike. Warden Jay Forshey and OSP staff are refusing to meet their demands or negotiate with them. Some of the hunger strikers have not even been met and consulted with regarding their demands. Eleven prisoners remain on hunger strike and are committed to staying through to the end, if necessary.

This week we revisit Episode 37, THE AMERICAN / Top 3 Movie Prostitutes!⦠Or however it was Max chose to say it. Even though a ridiculously small detail kept it from a perfect score, it still clocks in as our highest rated film.
***********************************
Once more in The Q is the often loved often NOT loved film THE AMERICAN (2010), from Dutch director/photographer Anton Corbijn, staring George Clooney in the title role. This muted thriller tells the story of Jack, an assassin who is constantly on the move and always alone. After a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, Jack retreats to the Italian countryside. He relishes being away from death for a spell as he holes up in a small medieval town. While there, Jack takes an assignment to construct a weapon for a mysterious contact. Savoring the peaceful quietude he finds in the mountains of Abruzzo, Jack accepts the friendship of local priest and pursues a torrid liaison with a beautiful woman, Clara. Jack and Claraâs time together evolves into a romance, one seemingly free of danger. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate and his desire to end his life in peace may be shorter than he wanted⦠Listen to find out which side of the fence we fall on this one! All of that plus our Top 3 Movie Prostitutes
