The Ukraine Crisis and the Battle for Former Soviet Space

"As the war in Ukraine nears the six-month point and East-West tensions have plunged to their most dangerous level since the Cold War, the U.S.-led drive for domination of the former Soviet Union, Eurasia and the world as a whole has intensified to an unprecedented degree. The current war in Europe, fraught as it is with the menace of a military confrontation between the world's two major nuclear powers, the U.S. and Russia, marks the final act in over fifteen years of NATO expansion along the entire length of Russia's western border, the purpose of which has ever been the encroachment upon and the encirclement of Russia - first in Europe, then in the remainder of former Soviet territory. Russia's survival as a nation state necessitates a response to ever-expanding American and NATO military build-up aimed at the nation. For over twenty years the West has identified and prepared Ukraine as the linchpin in that historically decisive campaign. Program opens with the intercepted conversation between US diplomat Victoria Nuland and the US Ambassador to Ukraine during which they plan a coup de tat against the then Ukrainian government."

AN INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' HISTORY OF THE US

GUEST: Dr. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz TOPIC: An Indigenous Peoples' History of the US Cindy and Roxanne chat about the treacherous history of European colonialism in North America and the way forward to healing. The history of the US Empire cannot be separated from the history of the Indigenous Peoples: to do so is denying that the "American Way" has always been genocidal at its roots and the idea that we can somehow "take our country back" is crazy-talk. It was never "our" country in the first place and just to what epoch in our short history do we want to return? Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz has written a history of US Empire from the perspective of the Original People. The book is packed with damning facts, but written with the heart soul of a person who has been involved in Indigenous resistance and civil rights' movement for decades.

There Will Be Blood

This week in The Q we drill deep into an instant classic. Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson steps outside his contemporary world to explore a very different dysfunctional man – an oil pioneer whose trailblazing spirit is equaled only by his murderous ambition THERE WILL BE BLOOD is Anderson’s loose adaptation of the novel “Oil!” by Upton Sinclair, and it focuses its attentions on Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), a miner who happens upon black gold during a disastrous excavation that ends in a broken leg… Pulling himself up from the bowels of the earth (both literally and metaphorically), Plainview embarks on a systematic and steadfast approach to mastering the oil business. Using plain-speak and straightforward language, Plainview launches a campaign to convince small-town property owners they should let him drill their land. Without him, they won’t have the equipment to access the profit beneath their feet. He builds an empire this way – and gradually becomes obsessed with the intrinsic value of power – growing increasingly fierce and paranoid in the process, but Plainview meets his match in Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), a teenage preacher and soul wrangler in the small California town of Little Boston who is more than satisfied to make him squirm for the bounty that flows below them. Plainview must suffer the opposing whims of this “prophet,” whose legitimacy is questionable at best. And it’s unclear if either man is prepared to pay the humiliating price the other wants to exact. We reviewed this one from Acrooooossss the room! Grab a milkshake, check it out.

#345 -- Naomi Klein: Capitalism vs the Climate (Part 2)

Klein discusses the ideas of her new book, *This Changes Everything*. She argues that any real solution to the climate crisis will have to overturn four aggravating factors: privatization, deregulation, "austerity," and "free-trade" deals. This week she focuses on popular movements that have built alternative, environmentally friendly utilities. Or at least have hindered environmentally destructive ones such as new pipelines. Plus a song by David Rovics & commentary by KD.

Universities' Attempts to Silence Palestine Justice Activists

This episode presents a review of university silencing efforts and harassment against Palestine justice activists. The examples are accumulating. On today's show we feature two excerpts from The Dissenter (website: dissenter.firedoglake.com/) originally broadcast on April 6, 2014. Hosts Kevin Goszstola and Rania Khalek interview professor Iymen Chechade of Columbia College (Chicago), and Tia Porrell of Students for Justice in Palestine at Northeastern University (Boston) about being targeted for their Palestinian activism on campus. Given the recent developments in the Steve Salaita case, its important to see how pro-Israel forces have attempted to silence Palestinian voices and viewpoints in the past, and how dedicated activists continue to resist these well coordinated acts of suppression. Not mentioned on air due to censorship edict: Even our very own program on Boston College Radio has been harassed (but so far not silenced).

The 2-part Song Poem Extravaganza!

Get ready to soak up a barrage of the most singular crap ever shat out by doped-up session hacks! The Makers of Smooth Music are lubed and ready to go, translating the dreams of everyday housewives and other lunatics into sonic dross that will have you shaking your head in baffled wonderment. These were all vanity recordings created in response to those little ads in the back of cheesy magazines that claimed they'd "Set YOUR POEMS to MUSIC!" The documentary that inspired these shows is OFF THE CHARTS: THE SONG-POEM STORY--check it out! Part 1's cavalcade of sonic atrocity lurches to a clashing crescendo with the most bestest and ultimate song poem ever penned...Mrs. Dorothy Schneider's orgasmic tribute to a drum kit, "The Beat of the Traps"--recorded by a studio full of session men who were drunk of their fucking ASSES!!! Then Part 2's tunes take us through the churning chumtunnel of American history, from Chris Columbus to JFK and Jimmy Carter, with a stridently masturbatory neo-religious tribute to Richard Milhous Nixon. Then there's the bouncy ditty "Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Potash-Shee-um to her" song and the strangely mournful ballad "Blue Atoms." And then we Disco through the Crisco (too true) all the way to a stirring tribute to the enigmatic and multi-aliased Rodd Rodgers/Rod Keith/Rodney Keith Eskelin, the most intriguing man behind the <?music?>. He was the Mellotron-playing song arranger of MSR Records, a man whose distinctive and inventive career was truncated by a perhaps-suicidal headfirst swandive off an LA overpass in the '70s--but not before he left behind a body of work that will make you wanna wiggle it a little with the Devil's daughter, I betcha. Sure this show is a lot of fun...but careful, seekers--these insidious earworms play for fucking KEEPS. NOTE: Please excuse the slight muddiness of Part 1.
