Occupy The Local Food Co-Op (November 16, 2014)

Nov. 16, 2014, 9:49 p.m.
TheAngryindian speaks again with US Social Justice activist Matthew (@MatheMattic) about his involvement in the co-operative food industry and his perspectives about the possibility of positive institutional change through member-owner coop democracies, farmer-customer relations and the value of open-source technology as a business model. The guest insists that if the general public were educated on the basics of co-operative concepts, that people would then take it upon themselves to initiate the progressive changes they wish to see. He raises the labour wage issue and how North American coop culture(s) can work towards promoting a functional alternative to the extant US vulture capitalist model of private ownership and monopoly over public utilities and other necessities.



"For the Good of Mankind" (Truman on the A-Bomb)-Nukes, Drones,Military Robots

Nov. 16, 2014, 8:44 p.m.
(7th panel) Teach-In on why Technology will not save the world. 45 Scholars, Authors & Activists over two days provide an analysis on why immediate change is required in our thinking, behavior, values and economies. With The Planet Depleted, overbuilt and poisoned, wild nature and its great gifts are disappearing. The economic challenge for a growth economy is to save itself by build entirely new resources bases to replace the old ones: New genetic foods, new genetic people and beings, new chemical skies to replace old ones (the victims of climate change), new molecular systems, new weaponry on earth and soon, in space, et. al.. For corporations, innovation solves the problem: Ignore the mess, create saleable "green" false solutions, and build and market "substitute nature" for uninterrupted product development and growth. (Event program) This epic teach-in seeks to frame the issues and offer ecologically sane alternatives that could result in a way out of the termination of Nature and society. It also offers eye witness accounts of the large scale testing of nuclear weapon radioactivity on human beings by scientist and medical professionals working for the U.S. government and the Pentagon. Dr. Helen Caldicott instructs all to NOT eat any foods or fish from Japan due to the cover-up of the severity of contamination from the continuing and uncontrolled reactor melt downs in Fukushima, Japan.



Anatomy of a Murder

Nov. 16, 2014, 2:37 p.m.
This week we hand down judgement on Otto Preminger’s (1959) Courtroom Classic ANATOMY OF A MURDER starring Jimmy Stewart, Lee Remick and George C. Scott. Set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, small-town lawyer Paul Biegler (Stewart) is a former district attorney who lost his re-election bid, spends most of his time fishing, playing the piano and hanging out with his alcoholic friend and colleague Parnell McCarthy and sardonic secretary Maida. One day Biegler is contacted by Laura Manion (Remick), wife of the loutish US Army Lieutenant “Manny” Manion (Gazzara), who has been arrested for the first degree murder of innkeeper Barney Quill. Manion doesn’t deny the murder, but claims that his wife was raped by Quill, so he killed him! Even with such a motivation, it would be difficult to get Manion cleared of murder, but Manion claims to have NO memory of the event, suggesting that he may be eligible for a defense of irresistible impulse – a somewhat unknown version of a temporary insanity, which immediately catches the attention of Slick down state Lansing prosecutor Claude Dancer (George C. Scott), who sets up shop in the costal town to ensure no one gets aways with it! Caught somewhere between his aloof YOOPER lifestyle and country lawyer demeanor, Biegler must keep one hand on the charm and the other on his case – which appears to be a challenge in itself, especially when the victim would much rather flaunt her panties then wear her girdle as Biegler suggests! Nominated for several academy awards including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Cinematography, Anatomy of a Murder has been well received by critics as well as members of the legal and educational professions. In 1989, the American Bar Association rated this as one of the (10) best trial films of all time – it has gone on to receive high praise long after its 1959 release.. We round out all out with our most “Objectionable” movie whatever’s.

After last week s election disaster, there s some good news, in the minimum wage wins through ballot initiatives are sending a clear message: Americans across the political spectrum want to raise the minimum wage.

Memorial Tribute to Gaza Doctor Eyad El Sarraj

Nov. 14, 2014, 1:59 p.m.
The entire broadcast this morning is dedicated to the memory of a remarkable human being, Dr. Eyad El Sarraj, a psychiatrist and physician who founded and directed the Gaza Mental Health Center. Dr. Sarraj died December 17, 2013, and his friends here in the Boston area, and there are many, held a special commemorative service in Cambridge on October 28th to honor his work. Although Dr. El Sarraj was there for everyone, his focus was on caring for the children of Gaza, a population of children who are deeply traumatized by the continuing reign of terror perpetrated by the Israeli military. Every child in Gaza, eight years or over, has had to endure at least 4 sustained military bombardments, the likes of Cast Lead, that is once every two years, and that has left an entire generation of children traumatized. No one one escapes the scars of that kind of bombardment and wholesale devastation. That was Dr. Sarraj’s challenge. Helping those children deal with the trauma of war. But Dr. El Sarraj’s reach was far beyond Gaza. He also touched the lives of many of us in Cambridge who were fortunate enough to know him and who worked to support him and the work of the Gaza Mental Health Center. This morning you will hear three of his friends and colleagues speak about the work of Dr. Sarraj, and life in Gaza: Nancy Murray, founder of the Gaza Mental Health Foundation, Sarah Roy, Middle East researcher at Harvard, and Dr. Noam Chomsky. The introduction is by Hillary Rantisi. The full proceedings include several more speakers and some beautiful Arabic music. These are posted independently at https://archive.org/details/ElSarrajTribute-141028.
