Audio recorded during the Friday, May 16: Energy Walk. It was one of a number of field excursions organized by the project: Southwest Corridor Northwest Passage. This walk "moved between the Citgo Refinery, the Sanitary Canal, the railroad tracks and the vestiges of the I&M Canal [near Lamont, Illinois]. The walk explores the refinery and a major energy installation (Will Country Electric Generating Station) and the relation between the corridor and the Des Plaines River." The walk was part of a twelve part, month long, project to examine the physical,cultural and psychological boarders and boundaries embedded in a society based on conquest , conversion and consumption: "For the month of May the Project Room at Three Walls hosts, not exactly an art exhibition, but a learning project that seeks to bring us into contact with some of the infrastructural forces driving the transformation of our society. We begin with maps, images and concepts, a set of materials to use and unmake, a set of knowledges to break apart and rebuild. Through workshops, walks and discussion we will extend the investigation into the lived space of the trade corridor heading southwest out of the city â an integrated space of highways, rails, canals and trade zones linked up to global supply chains."

HIDE UNDER YOUR DESK! This week weâre discussing the MUCH loved (1964) Stanley Kubrick Classic Dr. STRANGELOVE (or how I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb)⦠with the Cuban Missile Crisis fresh in viewersâ minds, the Cold War at its frostiest, Stanley Kubrick dared to make a film about what could happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong button â and he decided to play it for laughs (well at least on the surface)! Dr. Strangeloveâs jet-black satire and a host of superb comic performances (including three from Peter Sellers) have kept the film fresh and entertaining, even as its issues have become slightly less timely.It goes something like this⦠Loaded with thermonuclear weapons, a U.S. bomber piloted by Maj. T.J. âKingâ Kong (Slim Pickens) is on a routine flight pattern near the Soviet Union when they receive orders to commence Wing Attack Plan R, best summarized by Maj. Kong as âNuclear combat! Toe to toe with the Russkies!â On the ground, Capt. Lionel Mandrake notices nothing on the news about America being at war. Gen. Jack D. Ripper calmly informs him that he gave the command to attack the Soviet Union because it was high time someone did something about fluoridation, which is sapping Americansâ bodily fluids (and apparently has something to do with Ripperâs sexual dysfunction). Meanwhile, President Merkin Muffley meets with his top Pentagon advisors, including super-hawk Gen. Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott), who sees this as an opportunity to do something about Communism in general and Russians in particular. However, the ante is upped considerably when Soviet ambassador de Sadesky informs Muffley and his staff of the latest innovation in Soviet weapons technology: a âDoomsday Machineâ that will destroy the entire world if the Russians are attacked⦠And so what do you think they just might do? All of that PLUS our Top 3 âMovie Presidentsâ.

Transforming Metropolitan America
For workers the recession exacerbated their economic hardship. But, for corporate America it created the opportunity to mold the economy into something approaching the Third World model: vast wealth, power and privilege for those at the top, and chronically high unemployment, falling wages, limitations on benefits and also inadequate or nonexistent public benefit entitlements for the rest of society. The new normal for America is that it has become a sweatshop nation. While we have experienced generations long wealth inequality the gaps are widening and particularly so for people of color. Our discussion will tackle the development of
capital during this period & complementary government policies that have led to a decline in the fortunes of the working class and the super exploitation of people of color. And then our discussion will explore what is required to change course and bring about a greater redistribution of wealth for the 99%.

Fighting Fascism - Human Justice Struggles From Kansas to Occupied Palestine (05.23.2014)
May 23, 2014, 4:03 p.m.
Intelligent Aboriginal Radyo is back (after recovering from the loss of a hard drive) with another critical Indigenist look at the progression of far-right/neo-Fascist movements around the world (France, Spain, Italy, Ukraine, Thailand, Norway and now India) and what this means for those politically conscious of the dilemma on the Left versus those who are politically asleep on the fence.
TheAngryindian speaks with the executive producer of Radio Free Kansas (fightingcockflyer.blogspot.com) Mike Caddell in the US about conservative Republican Party attempts to eliminate abortion rights and how limiting 'rights to choice' creates economic depression and sustains vicious cycles of generational poverty (and profits). Following that, Israeli journalist David Sheen (davidsheen.com) returns to speak candidly about the queerly bizarre propaganda conundrum that has (either by accident or by design) developed within mainstream media in regards to the State of Israel and its routine violations of Indigenous Arab and African human rights in Occupied Palestine. Discussion centres around how Israel's negative activities as a nation feed into the paranoid conspiracy theories of authentic Judeophobes and narrow-minded cultural nationalists who make use of Israel's xenophobic behaviour and policies as a smokescreen to pursue their own racialist agendas. Often against the very same victims.

Vincent Harding: Martin Luther King and Barack Obama's Other Ancestors
May 23, 2014, 1:35 a.m.
Vincent Harding was a prominent figure in the Southern Freedom movement of the 1960s. He was also a noted scholar with advanced degreed in journalism and history.
He had been a close associate of Martin Luther King's and even wrote one of his most famous speeches, "A Time to Break Silence" which condemned the Vietnam War and was delivered by King one year to the day before he was assassinated April 4, 1968.
This episode replays a speech given BY Dr. Harding called "MArtin Luther King and Barack Obama's Other Ancestors."
This speech was delivered on the campus of the University of Winnipeg on April 2, 2009, only 41 days into the presidency of America's first black president.
Among other themes, this talk traces some of the less talked about aspects of the civil rights struggle, and of King's own evolution following the famous "I Have a Dream speech from 1963. Criutically, it probes the popular notion of Obama as the realization of King's dream.

Out of the Woods - Show #215 - 5-22-14
May 22, 2014, 6:23 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, but I try to keep them approximately 30 minutes in most cases.
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

Hertsgaard's daughter Chiara, now five years old, is part of what he has dubbed "Generation Hot"-the two billion young people worldwide who will spend the rest of their lives coping with mounting climate disruption.

Who Is To Blame For The Financial Crisis?
May 22, 2014, 12:37 p.m.
The financial crisis is also known as the Great Recession of 2008. Remember the rescue of investment bank Bear Stearns in March 2008 and the failure of Lehman Brothers in September 2008?
According to a study of 54 countries, there has been an increase in suicide deaths as a result of the recession. The study cites that there were an estimated 5,000 additional deaths resulting from suicide in the year 2009 alone.

John's next book will be a history of the world economy.

Throughout his investment career, Jim has identified and sold short the shares of numerous well-known corporate financial disasters.
