World's Greatest Dad

Oct. 5, 2014, 7:50 a.m.
This week in THE Q we give a nod to the late Robin Williams as we delve into the Bobcat Goldthwait directed WORLD’S GREATEST DAD. Considered by many to be one of Williams more interesting perfomances it tells the story of father Lance Clayton, a man that learns the things you want most may not be the things that make you happy, and that being lonely is not necessarily the same as being alone… Lance Clayton (Robin Williams) is a man who has learned to settle. He’s dreamed of being a rich and famous writer, but has only managed to make it as a high school poetry teacher. His only son Kyle, (who won’t give him the time of day) is an insufferable jackass, with virtually zero friends, who seems to only care about violent video games and internet porn. One bright spot for Lance is Claire, the school’s adorable art teacher, with whom he has a blossoming relationship, but she doesn’t want to get serious – or even acknowledge publicly that they are dating. Then, in the wake of a freak accident involving Kyle, Lance suffers the worst tragedy and greatest opportunity of his life. He is suddenly faced with the possibility of all the fame, fortune and popularity he ever dreamed of, if he can only live with the knowledge of how he got there. We also I

#691 - Big Drugs, Big Money and Big Guns

Oct. 4, 2014, 10:27 p.m.
We begin a new series this week, looking at the global drug trade and its key role in funding deep state groups. We begin with an expert on the Asian drug trade, Alfred McCoy. His 2010 talk, "Low-Intensity Conflict in the Drug Wars" focuses on opium production and its relationship to the proxy wars being fought in Afghanistan. We follow the heroin westwards to Turkey with a commentary by Sibel Edmonds who focuses on the nexus of the political and intelligence agency leaders, mobsters and drug traffickers which was brought to light by the "Susurluk scandal". This fateful 1996 car crash lead to the development of the phrase "Deep State" to describe the behind-the-scenes arrangements which were previously hidden from public view. While details of their operations remain unclear, they are increasingly understood to be more important to what really goes on than the for public consumption charade that is electoral politics.



#344 -- Naomi Klein: Capitalism vs the Climate (Part 1)

Oct. 4, 2014, 3:37 p.m.
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. These pillars of neoliberal economics well deserve overturning on their own (lack of) merits. Because of the climate crisis, transforming the global economy for the better now seems very possible. An interesting and upbeat talk with many good specific examples.

#690 - Paying to Cut, Paying Not to Cut

Oct. 3, 2014, 11:41 a.m.
Why is paying people to cut down trees like paying them not to cut down trees? Well, do these two apparent opposites actually result in opposite outcomes...? Or do they both, by equating trees with money, turn them into resources, and so effectively put them under the control of rich foreigners, with predictable consequences. In our first hour, Jeff Conant explores "REDD", the World Bank's forest protection racket for the global south. In our second hour, Max Haiven looks at the extreme and ongoing financialization of the "developed" world, resulting in a damage to society and personal identities that while difficult to quantify is nevertheless all too real. He recommends we "rededicate ourselves to moving beyond individualism and this idea that we are all competitive agents by actively building grassroots concrete effort to reclaim the commons by actively building grassroots efforts in the here and now.



When Cartesian Common Sense Meets Political Xenophobia (10.03.2014)

Oct. 3, 2014, 11:34 a.m.
TheAngryindian speaks further on #Ferguson, the sudden departure of US Attorney General Eric Holder and what this says about the African in North America, Black community political clarity and simple human justice under the watchful eye of the Obama adminstration. A brief examination of Europocentric cultural patterns leads to deeper thoughts on other sociopolitical issues of class and gender disparity and the relationship between misogyny, White Supremacy and insitutional war psychology. ALSO: An archived debate moderated by veteran journalist Phil Donahue on 'The Issue Is Race' featuring Bro. Dhoruba bin-Wahad, Sister Soulja, several White (well-meaning) liberals, a host of Negro assimilationists and a clutch of outright Uncle Toms and other Indigenist mental fodder for intelligent Aboriginals and other interested human beings.

Syrian solution must involve all parties

Oct. 3, 2014, 8:30 a.m.
Zafar Bangash discusses the hypocrisy of US policy in Iraq and Syria. He also probes the nature of the Saudi-funded opposition in Syria, who in their extensive brutality and war crimes, violate Islamic law. Turkey's attempt to create a no-fly-zone over Syria is also mentioned. In the May election, Syrian refugees jammed the highways to vote for President Assad, whom they see as the only hope against the terrorist invasion. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is losing influence as Iraq moves closer to Iran. Phil Taylor and Zafar Bangash emphasize that the US did not supply Iraq with military airplanes because the US did not want Iraq to be able to defend itself. If Iraq had an effective air force, they would have been able to stop ISIS from occupying parts of Iraq. They also noted the irony of Israel helping ISIS with military and medical support. Israel prefers ISIS rather than Syrian control of the Golan Heights.



Remembering Milton "The Voice" Blake

Oct. 3, 2014, 8:20 a.m.
Norman Otis Richmond discusses his recent article, "Remembering the Late Milton Blake on the 70th Anniversary of His Birth." Richmond and Blake were comrades in revolutionary spirit, music and radio broadcasting. They created the Black Music Association (BMA) Toronto Chapter in 1984, which supported the cultural boycott of South Africa. Richmond recounts how Blake, a Pan-Africanist, helped persuade the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Science (CARAS) to add Black Music Awards categories into the 1985 Juno Awards. Rhythm & Blues and reggae were added but there was a continued fight to have Calyposo added as a separate category. Milton Blake became a popular radio host. Richmond also commented on the mega-movie "Equalizer," and condemned it as Russophobic (the evil crime lord was even named "Vladimir Pushkin").

Out of the Woods - Show #233 - 10-2-14

Oct. 2, 2014, 3:11 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
