Another U.S. Travesty - the Trial of Rasmea Odeh
Dec. 10, 2014, 2:14 p.m.
This week we focus on the telling way the U.S. justice system treats victims of Israeli torture. Our main feature is an Electronic Intifada podcast with Charlotte Silver's interview on this subject with Nora Barrows-Friedman on the 11-10-2014 conviction in Detroit, and current U.S. imprisonment of Palestinian immigrant Rasmea Odeh.
Rasmea's conviction for "immigration fraud" was based on a jury's impression that she "lied" on her immigration application forms some years ago by checking off the box for no past arrests or convictions. The jury hadn't been allowed to hear the explanation that many years back she had been grabbed by Israeli soldiers, imprisoned, and tortured into a false confession, leading to a false conviction. In other words, she really was free of LEGITIMATE arrests or convictions.
The EI podcast also features an interview with delegates on an Interfaith Peacebuilders delegation recently returned from Palestine. One delegate is a local African American woman from Boston, Trina Jackson.
Host John Roberts also discusses the current U.S. policy, ever since 9-11-2001, of targeting Muslims in the name of "national security." On ACLU's staff at the time, he got a close-up view of this.

Ward Churchill: A Little Matter of Genocide (ONE of TWO)
Dec. 8, 2014, 6:49 p.m.
Now that Thanksgiving is behind us we may be more open to an unflinching look at genocide and denial in America. Churchill compares the treatment of North American Indians to historical instances of genocide by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, Turks against Armenians, as well as Nazis against the Poles and Jews. With one important difference. This genocide is unparalleled in terms of the size of population and in the way it was sustained through time.Â

Still BORING after All These Years...
Dec. 7, 2014, 10:54 p.m.
This is a retool of my old "Boredom" show, BSTF #77 from 1995, and it's just as painful as it ever was...in fact, even more so. But that doesn't mean it's a bad show--it just has a lot of triggers in it that might get you reaching for your own Saturday night problem-solver. If you feel any holiday despair, it might be good to steer clear of this one, because the topic of boredom is so close to existential angst and purposelessness that the content pulled me down into an even blacker moodpool. With appropriately boring material by Madeline Kahn, the Circle Jerks, Iggy Pop, Jim Kweskin Jug Band, Darryl Rhoades, cabaret hacks Cindy & Lindy, Julie London, Mac & Katie Kissoon, Pink Lincolns, Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band with the Rootettes, Howard Keel, the Krokodiloes of Harvard, and a delicious clip of a song by Art, The Only Band in the World--"Ugly People with Fancy Hairdos" (the "Boat People" song). The guy shuffling cards and talking about UFOs is eccentric cartoonist Bob Burden. And I threw in a big chunk of Zappa--just for those who think he sucks.
