#694 - Social Destabilization Tactics Post 1989
Oct. 30, 2014, 10:25 a.m.
We look this time at the terrifying reality that is "the war on terror", and the effects of that terror on two target populations - US and UK. Our first speaker, author, academic and activist asks why more US citizens today consider torture acceptable than did during the Bush presidency. Our second speaker, a senior lecturer in Risk and Corporate Security analyses the disproportionate reaction to the purported threat of terrorism. We conclude with more from Sibel Edmonds on the global heroin trade, and especially on its close connections with NATO.

Meet Tom Abowd and his new book "Colonial Jerusalem"
Oct. 29, 2014, 5:27 p.m.
This morningâs entire program is devoted to our host's interview with Tufts University Professor Thomas P. Abowd. His new book is "Colonial Jerusalem, The Spatial Construction of Identity and Difference in a City of Myth, 1948â2012."
If you want to understand what is happening to Jerusalem as we speak, and you want to view it through the eyes of an anthropologist, you want to read Tomâs book. The Israeli narrative which dominates the understanding of most Americans, and virtually all of the Congress, is a narrative based mostly on a false history fabricated by Israel to justify its theft of Palestinian land to build the Israeli state. It started before 1948. It continues today. Colonial Jerusalem tells the real story, and we need these kinds of accounts to puncture the Israeli fabrication with factsâ¦historical facts. This book can be an important tool for those of whose care about this issue and are working to bring justice to the Palestinian people. It begins with telling the truth to the American people. So we urge you to read Colonial Jerusalem, by Tom Abowd, published by Syracuse University Press. Tom joins the so-called new historians such as Ilan Pappé in providing us with the real narrativeâ¦the real storyâ¦the facts, which speak for themselves.
Quoting from the publisher's web page for Colonial Jerusalem (http://syracuseuniversitypress.syr.edu/spring-2014/colonial-jerusalem.html):
In one of the few anthropological works focusing on a contemporary Middle Eastern city, Colonial Jerusalem explores a vibrant urban center at the core of the decades-long Palestinian-Israeli conflict. This book shows how colonialism, far from being simply a fixture of the past as is often suggested, remains a crucial component of Palestinian and Israeli realities today. Abowd deftly illuminates everyday life under Israelâs long military occupation as it is defined by processes and conditions of "apartness" and separation as Palestinians are increasingly regulated and controlled. Abowd examines how both national communities are progressively divided by walls, checkpoints, and separate road networks in one of the most segregated cities in the world. Drawing upon recent theories on racial politics, colonialism, and urban spatial dynamics, Colonial Jerusalem analyzes the politics of myth, history, and memory across an urban landscape integral to the national cosmologies of both Palestinians and Israelis and meaningful to all communities.

Lymph Node Institute's "HALLOWEEN 6A" Show!
Oct. 29, 2014, 2:21 p.m.
YES! It's the Lymph Node Institute's long-unheard "HALLOWEEN 6A" show! I cannot even begin to guess what the numerical designation means since Doc Ellis has orbited out of the loop and Bugsy has no clue what it meant. Is this the first version of the LNI's 6th Halloween show? The first version of their 2006 Halloween show? Who knows? All I know for sure is that Doc kicked out all the stops to make an excellent all-musical soundtrack for an All Hallows freaks' fest! There are songs by Ministry, Dead Kennedys, ICP, Misfits, the Klopeks, Surfin' Dead, the Astrovamps, Alice Donut, Komodo Draggin', Severe Tire Damage, The Shaggs, The Wolf...and a message from Landover Baptist Church, followed by the odd inclusion of "I'm Ronery" from TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE for some unfathomable reason. Maybe THAT is the elusive "6A"? Whatever that means, this show is so mindlessly enjoyable that you won't give Shit One about it.
NOTE: The first song "Every Day Is Halloween to You" was mistakenly credited as being by Zoogz Rift. Doc Ellis got his Z's mixed up--it was by Zilch Fletcher. Easy mistake to make.

On her web site Naomi Klein says: Forget everything you think you know about global warming. The really inconvenient truth is that itâs not about carbonâitâs about capitalism. The convenient truth is that we can seize this existential crisis to transform our failed economic system and build something radically better. <http://www.naomiklein.org/>â¨
On October 17, 2014, in a small town in Northern California a grassroots coalition almost filled the 1,000 people capacity Veterans Building to hear Naomi Klein speak about her 2014 book, This Changes Everything. The North Bay Organizing Project <http://northbayop.org/> is a coalition of 18 labor, immigrant rights, faith based, union, Living Wage, education, and environmental organizations.
The Canadian writer Naomi Klein first received world-wide attention with her book: No Logo, that went on to become an international bestseller. Her book The Shock Doctrine, is a critical analysis of the history of neoliberal economics.
