Masri attacks Obama's hypocrisy; slams Hillary; says Gaza worse than humanitarian disaster; speaks of need for pro-Palestinian activists in US to join US anti-racist struggles, fight to regulate campaign financing, against corporate control, to rebuild democracy; to strategize and mobilize over most effective ways of implementing BDS; cites example of world-wide rejection of Israeli violence, Finland to Latin America, siding with Palestine; that all resistance to illegal occupation is justified.

Ali Abunimah & "The Struggle for Justice in Palestine"

Ali Abunimah, co-founder of the The Electronic Intifada - electronicintifada.net- reads from his recent book, "The Struggle for Justice in Palestine" at the Evanston Public Library (EPL). The author/reading, jointly sponsored by a local peace group had been cancelled just days prior to its scheduled date, when the library director, Karen Danzig Lyons, decided that the program should not proceed without the "balance' of a pro-Israel speaker at the event. An announcement by the author - http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/evanston-public-library-bans-my-book-talk-palestine - and organizing by the local peace and activist community in protest resulted in a fire-storm of criticism that took on national dimensions. The Director reversed her decision to cancel and the event went ahead as planed to a capacity audience. Abunimah's opening comments refer to the controversy and the announced intention of the Evanston Public Library to go forward with additional adult programing that would provide an opportunity for library patrons to hear someone speaking about Palestine and resistance to the occupation from a Palestinian perspective.

Injustice in Africa: The ICC pursues only Africans

Obama hosts the first US Africa Leaders Summit. African leaders want out of the money-manipulated (two-thirds of money from EU), politically-controlled (vote trading/profit making) and mediocre ICC (many of the ‘judges’ have never been judges and some have never even been lawyers). The ICC is an "European legal adventurism" game that Africans want to stop playing. Should the Palestinians go to the ICC? Dr. Hoile explains why this is not feasible, and examines other possibilities (though limited), such as the World Court.

Jonathan Trent and the OMEGA Project

When life gives you lemons they say to make lemonade. And what if life gives you sewage released into an enclosed bay, what can you make? Certainly not lemonade, right? Our guest today on Sea Change Radio is NASA scientist and UC Santa Cruz professor, Jonathan Trent. He has figured out how to use algae to turn wastewater pollution into biofuel. This ambitious project, called Offshore Membrane Enclosures for Growing Algae (or OMEGA) not only places algae where it can consume waste and excrete oils for fuel, it also creates spaces for low-impact aquaculture, captures CO2, and cleans pollutants out of bays. The technology also converts wastewater to drinking water, which, with a little lemon and sugar could even be used to make, you guessed it, lemonade. Listen now as host Alex Wise talks with Dr. Trent, an inventor, pioneer, and visionary whose OMEGA project offers hope for fuel, food, water, and a cleaner world.

In Europe, activists have turned out in 12 countries, including in France, where thousands defied a government ban. One hundred and fifty thousand were reported to have marched in great Britain. Tens of thousands of Palestinians demonstrated in the Occupied West Bank in solidarity with their Gaza sisters and brothers. Inside Israel 5,000 rallied in Tel Aviv, while 700 marched in Haifa and others in Jerusalem. Some 50 Israeli reservists refuse to serve in the military s invasion of Gaza.

Susie the Floozie's "Takin' Back JESUS!" Show

Here's one of the stranger episodes of "Bob"'s SlackTime Funhouse... In "Takin' Back JESUS!", I find myself on the ugly side of the spiritual tracks, going to bat for the Messiah, who's been Ariel Castro'ed by the Religious Right. With more versions of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR than you've ever dreamed existed, this show is jampacked with Jesii! We have chunks of Darryl Rhoades, Larry Norman, Ed Kilbourne, Jimmy Swaggart, Robert Tilton, Jack Van Impe, Little Marcy, the Jesus Sound Explosion, and a shitload of selections from records with the subtitle "A Folk-Rock Musical about Jesus." Plus you'll hear the incredible acid-rock xtian album SOME BEAUTIFUL DAY by Pete Levin and Bill Comeau, which I like to dance naked to--and the bizarre "Jesus the Rebel" by an old cracker named Clarence Jordan, who relates the story of the crucifixion using the idiom of the KKK and the White Citizens' Council. WHAT THE FUCK. Retooling my old Jesus show is timely: 2014 marks my 33rd year in the Church of the SubGenius. Yes, I've been in the trenches preaching the word of Dobbs for the length of ONE WHOLE JESUS. But of all the BSTFs, this show has scored over 1800 downloads and counting! Some of those MUST be inquisitive xtians drawn by the subject matter alone...but what the hell did they think of this show?!! Well, if it only served to expose the fuckers to The Amazing Delores...then it was worth it ALL. NOTE: Apologies to the first 36 downloaders--on 8/18, I've uploaded a sound-corrected version with tighter edits. My bad.
