#322 -- Climate Doom But Not Gloom (Part 1)
May 5, 2014, 8:46 a.m.
Humans are doomed, and we'll be gone by 2050, says scientist GUY McPHERSON. Rapidly escalating climate change--triggered by our hydrocarbons--will destroy our habitat very soon. And no captain of industry or civic leader would risk damaging his career or stock portfolio to save the species.
Next week: What to do? This week, McPherson focuses on how serious the situation already is--and how mired in denial are all the leaders and institutions of the "civilization" that caused the calamity.

Steve Jablonski on exile against the PNW Grand Jury
May 4, 2014, 12:02 p.m.
This week's show features a conversation with Steve Jablonski, recently returned from a period of self-imposed exile in Canada as avoidance of receiving a Federal Grand Jury subpoena in relation to anti-police organizing in the pacific northwest and the May Day spree of 2012 in Seattle. Steve talks about the choice he made, the circumstances that allowed him to return, the support he received while abroad and his return to the U.S.
This week's Sean Swain segment is read by a supporter. Sean has resumed his meals but is still being denied phone and email access. It is suggested that you take a minute and give a call to Chief Inspector Gary Mohr in Columbus Ohio at (614)752-1671 or (614)752-1677 and request that Sean be given those accesses so that he can more easily communicate with his new legal counsel, Richard Kerger. Seanswain.org also suggests calling ODRC Legal Services at 614-752-1765 and requesting to speak to Counsel Trevor Clark. Sean believes that Trainwreck Trevor is the source of his silencing.
We also announce a request by the Move9 Parole supporters that people call the Pennsylvania Parole Board from the 5th to the 9th 24/7 at (717) 772-4343 and request that the Board parole Debbie (Sims) Africa (#006307) on the grounds that Debbie has:
1.) received a positive recommendation from both the Warden and Superintendent of her prison for parole;
2.) employment and housing both set up for her if she is paroled
3.) an excellent prison conduct record.

A great way to support legal fees and such for resisters, including Dennison Williams and Kerry Cunneen who are still in exile, as they evaded the Grand Jury AFTER being served with subpoenas, and make your walls pretty, check out http://pnwgjresistance.storenvy.com/ or http://nopoliticalrepression.wordpress.com/ and specify donations for Dennison and Kerry. Hopefully money will get to them.
Also, Steve wanted me to include info about his buddy, Amelie, who is caught up in the 5E3 prisoners in Mexico: http://fuegoalascarceles.wordpress.com/in-english-information/

RUBBER (2010)⦠Why did we Queue this one up? No reason. Actually, just the opposite! This bizarre black comedy from Writer/Director Quentin Dupieix is a conversation starter for sure. The old saying about âthis is where the rubber meets the roadâ takes on a new and sinister meaning as an old tire appears in a California desert, and under its own power it begins rolling down the road, stopping and starting as it pleases. The notion that the tire can operate under its own power isnât half as remarkable as its other talent â the tire has telekinetic abilities and can make things explode at will, including human heads. The evil tire goes on a killing spree after its affections for a beautiful woman are thwarted, and local lawman Lt. Chad steps forward to investigate. Meanwhile, a handful of people aware of the tire and its actions are watching it from a safe distance until theyâre poisoned by a mysterious villain; one of them manages to survive, and is looking for some revenge of his own. . Rubber was an official selection at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival and has since rolled itâs way into âcultâ status. Listen to see where the 5 of us parked our reviews, THAT and our Top 3 ââ¦. No reasonâ

National Union of Metal Workers
Fighting the Class Struggle in South Africa
with
Mphumzi Maqungo, Treasurer, National Union of Metal Workers
On May Day 2014 Building Bridges Building Bridges spoke with one of South Africa s foremost leaders of the workers
movement as their national election approaches. The National Union of Metal Workers, South Africa is South Africa s largest trade union with more than 339,000 (339,567) members. It is an active affiliate of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), the biggest trade union federation in South Africa. The union considers itself to be Marxist-Leninist and has had a fraught relationship with COSATU and the African National Congress for its its promotion of privatization and its failure to end the wealth divide and mass poverty in the country.
