On the uprisings in Ferguson
Aug. 17, 2014, 12:42 p.m.
It's been a week since the police shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black man in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. The images and sounds of the struggle in the streets have ripped open the mainstream media to dialogue around police use of force, discrepancies between how different races and classes in the U.S. experience that force and the lack of transparency and legitimacy on behalf of law enforcement. Solidarity has been expressed from communities around the world, even by folks in Gaza, with the people of Ferguson and the family of Mr. Brown who've suffered this loss and continually live under the gun of the state in Missouri.
This week we talk to Luka, a white anarchist from St. Louis who's been going to Ferguson and meeting folks and being in the streets with them, building relationships. Ferguson is a majority black city whose police force is 94% white. Luka talks about their experience of conversation with and struggle alongside of folks from a personal more than political standpoint, across racial lines. Luka gives a narrative of the days between the shooting of Mike Mike through Friday evening (08/15/14), when we spoke. There's discussion of police and protest tactics and how they've changed in the face of a week of gassing and rubber bullets met with molotovs and rocks.

Heretical Cultural Commentaries
Aug. 17, 2014, 8:21 a.m.
Def. Heretic-a person holding an opinion at odds with what is generally accepted. And what is commonly accepted is due to our corrupted MSM, I might add. An exceptional anarchist voice and truthsayer, consider this a sampler, twelve short cultural commentaries, spoken by Patrick Willis aka snordster. These are but a few of his many outspoken works, which can be found at the links listed under Program Notes and come in the form of Hi quality videos. Made for copying and pasting and sharing.
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Aug. 17, 2014, 8:13 a.m.
Director Terry Gilliam applies his Monty Python sensibilities upon the career of famed German prevaricator Baron von Munchausen in his (1988) Adventure Fantasy THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN! Gilliam sets the stage as we travel abroad with Munchausen, a baron who we see flying into the stratosphere on the back of a cannonball, ballooning to the moon, exploring the innards of a volcano, being swallowed by a whale and quelling a war that he himself has startedâ¦In short, all of Munchausenâs fabulous lies are here presented as âtruth,â played out in full view of nonplussed witnesses Eric Idle, Charles McKeown, Jack Purvis, and Sarah Polley. Fringe benefits include several loving medium shots of jaybird-naked Uma Thurman as Boticelliâs Venus and an extended unbilled cameo by Robin Williams (that is, by the HEAD of Robin Williams) as the King of the Moon! Filmed under considerable duress on a budget eventually exceeding 45 million dollars, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen never quite caught on with moviegoers, though it has enjoyed a lucrative afterlife on videocassette and DVD as well as a devoted following. We Queue it up to see if we in turn will follow as well⦠All of that including our Top 3 âAdventurous Adventuresâ in movies.

#337 -- The People vs "The Masters of Mankind"
Aug. 16, 2014, 4:01 p.m.
Three short, impromptu talks by NOAM CHOMSKY on the state of America today. Chomsky brilliantly discusses
* the 1%'s attack on public education--and why they are doing it
* financial crimes that get people arrested--and the more serious ones that don't
* whether the people can change the system
The surprising answer to the third question is, Yes--they've done it before.

#685 - The US Deep State, 1963-1981
Aug. 16, 2014, 10:45 a.m.
This week, I read the first half of one of the most remarkable essays I have ever come across on the subject of Deep Politics. In our first hour, we read Mark Gorton's compelling Fifty Years of the Deep State which traces a secret thread from the assassination of JFK, through the assassinations of RFK & MLK to Watergate, Ford, Carter and up to the Iran hostages affair. Our first hour concludes with Peter Dale Scott speaking on the US "overworld". In our second hour, a deconstruction of the Ford presidency and the Watergate coup from the inimitable Webster Tarpley.

Out of the Woods - Show #227 - 8-14-14
Aug. 14, 2014, 6:49 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
