#323 -- Climate Doom But Not Gloom (Part 2)
May 11, 2014, 7:23 p.m.
Last week, Professor GUY MCPHERSON showed that climate-change disaster is imminent and probably irreversible. The species Homo sapiens will be extinct by 2050, he forecasts. This week he discusses whether any force could rescue us (probably not) and then considers the ethical question, How should we behave in the face of our impending demise?
Then a short comic sketch by GEORGE CARLIN, who--similarly--discusses ways of going out with style.
For both men, it's Doom yes, but Gloom not necessarily.

4 years of The Final Straw Radio
May 11, 2014, 12:57 p.m.
This week's show features 4 conversations. For the fourth anniversary of the Final Straw Radio going on the air, we took it upon ourselves to have conversations with other people doing similar and different anarchist audio projects.
The first non-me voice y'all will hear is that of John Zerzan, the second is Franklin Lopez, the third is a member of the Crimthinc Ex-Worker Podcast collective and the final two are Rydra and Bellamy. Introductions will ensue momentarily. We'll be speaking this hour about the projects they work on, about the medium of radio and podcast, about what folks have learned while doing this work and about how we feel it fits into the anarchist project of the abolition of hierarchies, the state and capital, if not civilization.

Down with a sickness! ANTIVIRAL (2012), thatâs the film in quarantine this week. Writer/Director Brandon Cronenberg (yep, THAT Cronenbergâs son) makes his feature debut with this hyper sterile bio thriller that may just be a cautionary tale. Hereâs your premise⦠A man who smuggles celebrity viruses to ravenous fans gets infected with the same bug that killed a media darling, and becomes locked in a deadly race against time while also ending up being the target of biological collectors. Caleb Landry Jones (Banshee from X-Men) Plays the part of Syd March, an employee of the Lucas Clinic â a company that reaps a tidy profit by infecting willing clients with viruses taken from their favorite celebrities. Earning a little extra cash on the side by using his own body to smuggle out popular microbes, Syd finds himself in mortal danger after he infects himself with a pathogen taken from Hannah Geist, a gorgeous superstar who later dies as a result of her illness. Now, itâs only a matter of time before Syd succumbs to a similarly gruesome fate. When Sydâs shady clients and a rival company discover heâs carrying a bug that could revolutionize the industry, he must fight back with the only weapon he has â his own virulent blood⦠Itâs worth a chat! Listen to see how many red freckles we prescribed to this one. That and our Top 3 âScience gone badâ movies.

A pigeon race, as every fancier knows, begins with a basket. But with a hundred different finish lines, each one a backyard loft, when does a pigeon race end? In 1913, Charlie Hudson entered one of his pigeons in a race from Rome to England. On the day of the big race a storm blew in and a thousand birds were swept away and never seen again. Apart from one...

Writers are inveterate explorers; give them an orange and they will observe it, rip the hide off, and see what's inside. As Willy Lohman said, 'You can't eat the orange and throw the peel away - a man is not a piece of fruit!'. Today, the Mind's Eye writers go about preserving both the fruit and the peel in poetry and prose in 'The Inside of Things'.
The US/Israeli Surveillance Machine; Salman Abu Sitta on the Geography of Occupation
May 10, 2014, 11:55 a.m.
First, we review the subject matter of an April 14 Mondoweiss article by Nancy Murray: "Itâs time to reveal the Israeli role in the US surveillance machine." Here is a pertinent excerpt: "As described in the UK Guardian by Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras and Ewen MacAskill, a 2008 document obtained by whistleblower Edward Snowden states that 'one of the NSAâs biggest threats is actually from friendly intelligence services, like Israel. There are parameters on what NSA shares with them, but the exchange is so robust, we sometimes share more than we intended.'" For full text of Murray's article, go to mondoweiss.net/2014/04/israeli-surveillance-machine.html.
Following that, today's main presentation is an important lecture by Professor Salman H. Abu-Sitta of the London-based Palestine Land Society, entitled "The Geography of Occupation." Abu Sitta is a widely respected geographer.
Abu-Sitta gives a personal account of how he became a refugee in Palestine in 1948. Using data from his research, Abu-Sitta shows how over 600 Palestinian villages were systematically depopulated by the advancing Israeli forces, leaving many others dismembered by an arbitrary cease-fire line. With maps and demographic statistics, Abu-Sitta shows that, in effect, Zoinist policies were an ethnic cleasing campaign that resulted in a massive transfer of native Palestinians to the countries bordering Israel, where thousands remain within 100 miles from their original communities.
Abu Sitta points out that ethnic cleansing policy was (and remains) a fundamental principle of Zionism: that we want the land, we do not want the people. For video of this presentation, go to ...

Carwasheros Washing Out Wage Theft
May 10, 2014, 8:56 a.m.
Carwasheros are Washing Out Industry Wage Theft, Demanding Dignity on the Job and Union Representation
Featuring
The Carwasheros
Mayor Bill de Blasio
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman,
City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito
Carwasheros are the thousands of workers who shampoo, wax, dry, & detail cars and who are among some of the most exploited workers in New York. They frequently work in appalling conditions for low or, in many instances no wages. Too often car wash owners flout labor laws, health and safety regulations and environmental protections in their single minded drive for profits. But Carwash workers throughout New York have come together in the Wash New York campaign and have succeeded in voting to unionize eight workplaces and have won contracts at six of them. They re a part of the trend of low-wage workers organizing throughout the country and breathing life into the cause for workers justice and we'll hear all about their organizing for workers rights.

Who's Undermining Ukrainian Democracy: Putin or the West
May 9, 2014, 12:44 p.m.
In the wake of the horrific deaths at the Trade Union Building in the Black Sea Port city of Odessa, and in the lead up to presidential elections later this month, the Global Research News Hour returns to the topic of Ukraine, and what it seems to be transforming into,
University of Winnipeg President Lloyd Axworthy, himself a former Canadian Foreign affairs Minister and widely sought after commentator on international issues expresses his views about the direction Ukrainian democracy is taking and the threats posed by Russian President Putin, as he sees it.
He is joined by fellow UW Administrator Bill Balan who went with him to Ukraine on a fact-finding mission under the auspices of the Washington-based National Democracy Institute.
Rick Rozoff, an anti-war activist, administrator of the STOP NATO website and frequent interview guest, expresses a very different perspective on whether Russia or the West poses the greater threat to the Ukrainian population and the free world.

Out of the Woods - Show #213 - 5-8-14
May 8, 2014, 6:38 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

Lux Interior's "Purple Knif Show"!
May 8, 2014, 4:33 p.m.
I pulled this out of the archives by mistake and realized it's time to give it another spin. The "Purple Knif Show" is an archival diamond: In 1984, the beloved Lux Interior of the Cramps broadcast a show in LA that paid tribute to Cleveland's Ghoulardi, the horror host whose catchphrase "Stay sick!" created a race of mutants, and this was the marvelous result! Strap yourself in for a rollercoaster ride through some of the weird-ass 45 rpm obscurities from Lux's extensive collection of outré recordings, punctuated by bits by the man himself, goofing with '80s radio effects and having one helluva good time!
Here's some background on the show with a playlist (sorry, but I had to trim off a couple songs to hit the 1:00:00 mark):
