A conversation between Max Blumenthal and Ali Abunimah
March 23, 2015, 4:26 p.m.
Before the main feature today, we begin with an interesting news dispatch out of Palestine as reported by the news service Mondoweiss. It reports that the PLO has announced that it is opting out of the one-sided joint "security" arrangement with Israel, perhaps as a lever to get its rightfully owned and needed funds unfrozen.
For the actual article, "Palestinian leaders vote to end security coordination with Israel, a cornerstone of Oslo and the occupation," by Allison Deger, dated March 8, 2015, go to http://mondoweiss.net/2015/03/palestinian-coordination-cornerstone.
We will continue to follow this high stakes power game being played out by Israel and Palestine over the next several weeks.
The feature presentation this week is part 1 of a conversation between Max Blumenthal and Ali Abunimah held at the Roxy Theater in San Francisco. The focus of the conversation is Ali Abunimahâs latest book: The Battle for Justice in Palestine.
It is interesting to note at the outset that Max Blumenthal, who has become persona non grata in the Jewish Community since his publication of Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel is once again this week the subject of censorship on a university campus. The President of the University of Paris decided at the last minute to ban a conference that featured Max. A similar cancellation occurred a few weeks ago at a conference featuring Max in Berlin. Unable to factually challenge any allegations in his critical book, the Jewish lobby is trying to silence him. It is not working.
We are not able to present the entire conversation in one broadcast slot, so will feature half of the conversation today and the remainder in the future.

Rev. Susie the Floozie's "Stop Making Synths! Show"
March 22, 2015, 5:01 p.m.
For what you are about to hear, I profusely apologize. Listen to how BAD this show really is: While reviewing this show in the bedroom, my lizard Jack weathered my atrocious attempt at singing, but when the music itself kicked in, he went absolutely batshit! I tried to soothe him, but he scratched and thrashed and struggled to get away from the horrible sound like he was being immersed in scalding water. I had to stop the show to calm him down. I am NOT kidding here. This show is THAT horrible--it can damage your goddamned biogram. I do NOT recommend the use of headphones. And if you're knocked up, PLEASE for the love of Dobbs skip this one--it's worse than sonic thalidomide.
I gathered the most fetid, ear-piercing synthesizer music I could find, and I'm afraid I outdid myself with a googol on it. How bad is it? I barely listened to it, and the tinnitus in my head is fucking shrieking off the hook. I am NOT liable for physical or property damage caused by this show--if you're stupidly fearless enough to give it a listen, that's your own deal. But I'm serious about your pets! Make damned sure that they're in a room far away from the speakers with the doors shut tight and fuckin' comforters nailed over them. REALLY.

This week William speaks with Emily Horne and Tim Maly about their book "The Inspection House; An Impertinent Field Guide to Modern Surveillance", which was published in October 2014 by Coach House Books in their Exploded Views series. This interview comes right before the authors book tour of locations in Canada.
From the book's website:
"In 1787, British philosopher and social reformer Jeremy Bentham conceived of the panopticon, a ring of cells observed by a central watchtower, as a labor-saving device for those in authority. While Bentham's design was ostensibly for a prison, he believed that any number of places that require supervisionâfactories, poorhouses, hospitals, and schoolsâwould benefit from such a design. The French philosopher Michel Foucault took Bentham at his word. In his groundbreaking 1975 study, Discipline and Punish, the panopticon became a metaphor to describe the creeping effects of personalized surveillance as a means for ever-finer mechanisms of control.
Forty years later, the available tools of scrutiny, supervision, and discipline are far more capable and insidious than Foucault dreamed, and yet less effective than Bentham hoped. Public squares, container ports, terrorist holding cells, and social networks all bristle with cameras, sensors, and trackers. But, crucially, they are also rife with resistance and prime opportunities for revolution."
In the interview, Emily and Tim talk about Jeremy Bentham's life, the intended and actual uses of the panopticon, the dangers of the well intentioned, and more!
The book has a lot of good stuff in it, history and analysis and humor. For more info about "The Inspection House" and about the author's Canadian tour, you can visit http://www.chbooks.com/catalogue/inspection-house
