The ISIS Crisis

Zafar Bangash unscrambles the mystery of ISIS, defining them as extremist Wahhabi mercenaries supported especially by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Jordan. The US has been training ISIS in Jordan since 2012. The ultimate aim is to destroy the independent Islamic Republic of Iran, which has exposed Saudi Arabia's corruption, incompetence and subservience to the US and Zionist interests. ISIS terrorism will come back to haunt Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and other countries (including Western countries) which supported them.

The Chequered History of the ICC

David Hoile has just released a study on the history of the ICC: the whole thing's a disaster. Hoile and Taylor note the ICC's racism (all defendants are from Africa), cost (billions of Euros), incompetency of judges (some ignorant of presumption of innocence), corruption as a political puppet of the EU and US, and prolonging of civil wars that led untold thousands of deaths and massive displacement.

Important BDS advances; Ali Abunimah on campus BDS campaigns

First, some news about divestment by some major players. United Methodist Ministries is in process of divesting its retirement funds from G4S (the world's largest "security" company). Similarly, the Presbyterian Church (largest religious sect in the USA) has finally decided to divest its retirement funds from Caterpillar, HP, and Motorola. All because of these corporations' involvement in major human rights violations in Palestine. We also hear comment about the Pope's recent visit to Palestine, and a pioneering ad campaign launched by Ads Against Apartheid, a newly formed organization dedicated to public education about this subject. The first ad is on display at the Boston MBTA State Street subway station; many more are planned across the country. This week we hear an address by author/activist Ali Abunimah speaking at Rutgers University last May on the subject of campus BDS campaigns and the challenges faced by students engaged in such campaigns. BDS campaigns are gradually taking hold on campuses despite those challenges, for example the threatened suspensions at Northeastern University (Boston). Abunimah co-founded and continues to run the daily blog site electronicintifada.org. His recent books include "One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse" and "The Battle for Justice in Palestine."

Out of the Woods - Show #221 - 7-6-14

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. They are now designed so that each group of two segments (1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6) will equal one hour or less. This change was by request from one of our affiliates. Please feel free to submit feedback about the change. 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

The Unfair U.S. Justice System

Journalist Matt Taibbi explains the growing divide in the U.S. justice system. Matt touches on the issues of big money buying innocence and poverty often resulting in guilt. In an age of great inequality the rule of law has been subverted. Justice divided into two tiers. Free passes for the rich. Criminalization for the poor. Matt talks to Tom Ashbrook. Matt Taibbi is the author of “The Divide: American Injustice In the Age of the Wealth Gap.” and “Griftopia: A Story of Bankers, Politicians, and the Most Audacious Power Grab in American History” and “The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American Empire.” (@mtaibbi) Also Authur Laby speaks. He is professor of law at Rutgers University. Source: On Point with Tom Ashbrook: Matt Taibbi On Unequal Justice In The Age Of Inequality Who is really poor? According to the U.S. government, there are 46.5 million Americans who live below the poverty line officially. But everyone who has studied poverty agrees that this figure is completely wrong. Why still measure poverty in a way that so many people agree is wrong? How could we do it better?

No More Destruction of Historic Indian Villages (TWO of TWO)

Some people call this the David and Goliath story, Native Americans, farmers, environmentalists, school teachers and students, a sizable minority in a small former logging town of under 5,000 inhabitants in Northern California stand up against one of the most powerful agencies in any state, Caltrans, the California Department of Transportation. And against the multinational corporation behind Caltrans, Hochtief, and its subsidiary Flatiron. Why Caltrans had to go across the ocean to hand taxpayer money to a freeway builder is a mystery. Unless you believe that only the corporation that built the Autobahn for Adolph Hitler has the credentials to do this very difficult job. 

The $210 million plus freeway bypass around Willits, CA, goes through 86 acres of federally protected wetlands and across five Salmon streams and its 6 mile stretch requires building overpasses, a one mile viaduct, rerouting streams, and draining this ancient seasonal wetland. And the destruction is well under way by June 2014. Agencies tasked with overseeing the work issued warnings to Caltrans regarding violations of the Clean Water Act, failure to protect Pomo Indian archeological sites, to protect salmon spawning creeks, and failure to comply with the conditions of the permit. However mysteriously - or maybe not - someone in the background was always able to persuade the State Senator, the local Congressman, and the agencies to stop enforcement. What caused a sudden turn of events is unclear. On Friday, June 20, the Army Corps of Engineers, after an inspection of the work-site, suspended the permit for the Caltrans Willits Bypass. The Corps of Engineers regulate impacts on federally protected wetlands. Six days later AIM came to town. The American Indian Movement has an ongoing presence since it's founding in 1968. AIM West out of the Bay Area conducts annual Spirit Runs and this year, 2014, the run culminated in Willits in support of the Little Lake Pomo whose archeological sites had been destroyed by the Bypass contractors. This program is a record of the welcome of the Spirit Runners at an event under the tall shade trees of the Willits City Park. Speakers in the order of appearance: Edwina Lincoln, Round Valley Indian Reservation Priscilla Hunter, former Tribal Chair of the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians Will Parrish, journalist Ellen Drell, cofounder of the Willits Environmental Center Madge Strong, Willits City Council member Ending with a joint speech by Priscilla Hunter and Pauline Girvin, consultant to the Coyote Band of Pomo Indians

No More Destruction of Historic Indian Villages (ONE of TWO)

An over 20 year resistance to a 6 mile four lane freeway bypass through protected wetlands in Northern California took an important turn. A meeting was held in June 2014 between Native American tribal leaders who see their ancient village sites bulldozed - and environmentalists who for so long had worked in vain to stop or at least downsize the project by lawsuits, appeals to politicians and to the agencies empowered to prevent wetland and salmon stream destruction. The gathering was held on June 8, 2014, across from the so-called Northern Interchange in full view of the wasteland that was once verdant marshes and ash groves. Even though Caltrans had been given archeological maps of the 14 Little Lake Pomo trading posts and villages sites within their construction area, and even though Caltrans by law has to comply with various state and federal historic preservation laws, Caltrans erased the entire village of Yami in September of 2013. They notified the local Sherwood tribe after they had bulldozed the topsoil, drilled 1,500 wick-drains into the village site and had already covered it with three feet of dirt. Representatives from Mendocino Indian Tribes who are descendants of the Little Lake Pomo finally were given consultation meetings with the Caltrans archeologist. Former Tribal Chairwoman Priscilla Hunter said they had two demands: Reduce the size of the Northern Interchange to protect 30 acres of wetlands and archeological sites and enforce protection for the many additional sites on land that Caltrans now owns and plans to build ponds on to create artificial wetlands as substitute for the ones they are destroying. Voices of Native American activists Priscilla Hunter and Edwina Lincoln, followed by journalist Will Parrish, poet Mary Korte, singer Gipsy Thorn, and environmentalist Karen Picket

Interviews Co-founder of Democracy Watch Duff Conacher

Democracy Watch called for democratic changes to Ontario’s political system in response to the clear crisis of low voter turnout in the provincial election.  Initial results show that the Ontario Liberals have won a majority of 58 of 107 seats with the support of only 19.5% of eligible voters, which raises serious questions about their mandate to govern, let alone implement any specific law or policy. Only 52.1% of eligible voters cast a ballot (the second lowest turnout ever (tied with 2011), and 38% of the ballots cast were for the Liberals. This is a growing trend across Canada, we had similar low voter turnout numbers in BC in 2013 and in 2011 the Federal election turnout was the third lowest in Canadian history. We speak to Duff Conacher, Co-founder of Democracy Watch about this trend, what are the reasons behind it  and what can be done to improve the system making voting relevant once again to the millions of Canadians that have become indifferent to the process.
