This week, Sean Swain talks about the recently passed law to silence prisoners voices in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. In particular, this law came in response to a request by the widow of Officer Faulkner, allegedly killed by journalist Mumia Abu Jamal, that Mumia's voice not be broadcast in public as it brought her pain to think of her dead husband. Sean talks about prisoner speech and reminds us that while reformist, the protection of speech of prisoners extends to protection of our own voices on the outside.
Dilar Dirik on the Rojava Revolution, pt 2; Nicky Danesh on (A)'s in Iran
Nov. 2, 2014, 12:56 p.m.
This week's we're presenting the second half of my conversation with Dilar Dirik, Kurdish feminist and anti-capitalist, about the Rojava Revolution. The Rojava Revolution, as we spoke of in the last episode, is the name for the Kurdish-initiated project to organize stateless communities in Northern Syria into 3 autonomous cantons in the wake of Syrian State withdrawal during the progress of the civil war in that country. Rojava is West in Kurdish and refers to the communities of Kurds living in that area as distinguished from Kurds living and struggling inside of the borders of Iraq, Iran & Turkey. Folks aligned with the Democratic Union Party, or PYD, in Rojava have been among the people fighting against incursion by Islamic State militants.
After hearing from Dilar, we'll be hearing a segment shared by the folks from Anarchistisches Radio Berlin, which they worked together from audio recorded by Furia de Radio, an anarchist programme on 97 Irratia FM in Bilbao, Euskadi. It can be heard every Friday at 7pm in the Basque Country, or on http://www.mixcloud.com/FuriaDeRadio. The folks at Furia de Radio conducted an interview with Nicky Danesh, an Iranian anarchist living in exile in Australia this September. More content from Anarchistisches Radio Berlin can be found at http://aradio.blogsport.de in German, English, Spanish, French and more.
This week we'll hear Dilar continue to speak about the Rojava Social Revolution, the Kurdish Women's movements media representation of women in Rojava and in the YPJ Star militias fighting against ISIL, if there's an overlap between anarchism and Democratic Confederalism and more. The first half of this conversation can be found on radio4all, archive.org and http://thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org beginning on Monday the 3rd of November, 2014.

Current events--Halloween, Christmas ads, and a plutonium explosion--lead us to Kate Brown's history of two utopian factory towns created in the 1940s: Richland, WA; and Ozersk, Russia.
Both factories made plutonium. To ensure obedient workers, each government built a wonderful town, restricted freedom, controlled the press, kept out minorities, spied --and gave workers an amazingly high standard of living.

Gowans clarifies that ISIS ideology is the same as the Saudi Wahhabi extremism, that these Arab terrorist groups are part of Al Qaeda and that the only thing that matters is meshing with the Western foreign policy objectives.
Based on a recent New York Times article by Eirc Lichtblau, Gowans reveals how the CIA and FBI payrolled at least a thousand "moderate" Nazis spies and informants during the Cold War the same way that the US now payrolls "murder for hire fanatical religious Saudi terrorists" and labels them as "moderates."

Peter Dale Scott on the Ottawa attacks, Continuity of Government and architecture of the Deep State
Oct. 31, 2014, 11:36 a.m.
Professor Peter Dale Scott is a poet, author, former English Professor at Berkeley and a former Canadian Diplomat. He has written a number of books and articles on what he calls Structural Deep Events. These include incidents like 9/11 and the Kennedy Assassination that open the door to the adoption of increased executive and secret powers.
In this interview, Professor Scott takes listeners through the history and purpose of these deep events, the contraction of democratic impulses that results, his view that the recent Ottawa Shooting may constitute such a deep event and the role of military and security harmonization between Canada and the United States and how that connects with what he calls the Continuity of Government.

Out of the Woods - Show #238 - 10-30-14
Oct. 30, 2014, 3:35 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
