Episode 17 - Ward Wilson Talks Nuclear Weapons
April 13, 2014, 7:18 p.m.
In this episode, we present a lecture by anti-nuclear weapons scholar and activist Ward Wilson. Wilson is the Director of the Rethinking Nuclear Weapons Project at the British American Security Information Council, an independent think tank that analyses international security issues. His book, 5 Myths About Nuclear Weapons (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt: 2013) challenges the belief that these weapons are militarily useful. In March 2014, Wilson gave a speech at an event hosted by Science for Peace, a Canadian group of natural scientists, engineers, social scientists and scholars in the humanities that seeks to understand and act against the forces that make for militarism, environmental destruction, and social injustice here and abroad.

Ben Turk on the silencing of Sean Swain, anarchist prisoner in Ohio
April 13, 2014, 12:39 p.m.
On April 6th of 2014, anarchist prisoner Sean Swain, who's been kind enough to allow us to present his audio commentaries (available at http://www.seanswain.org) had his access to phone calls and email shut down by JPay corporation (which facilitates financial transactions between prisoners and their families and other corporations while skimming profit and also saving and mining the private user data) alongside of Global Tel* Link. This comes just after Sean was able to engage a new lawyer, Richard Kerger, who's done work on the Lucasville Uprising death row prisoners.
This episode, we speak to Ben Turk, a supporter of Sean's about new updates in Sean's case, his silencing and how folks can help pressure the state to give Sean back his access to phones and email.
Prior to that interview, however, a special guest reads a script from Sean for this week's "You Are The Resistance". Take a listen, or find it later at archive.org as youaretheresistance04132014 alongside the past segments for download or streaming.
Ben then tells us about his efforts, via Insurgent Theatre, to print a compendium of the plays he's written and his upcoming tour of the play BADGE (formerly known Know Your Enemies and prior to that as ACAB), where Ben play's the part of Officer Friendly, a community liaison officer who slowly realizes that, in fact, all cops are bastards. This play will be touring with D. Jones' film "The Shadow of Lucasville" around numerous parts of the U.S. and Canada. Check out the play intro and the preview of the film at http://www.insurgenttheatre.org
Ben also suggests taking a moment to call the current Prison Director, Gary Mohr at 614-752-1677 and requesting that Sean Swain be given back access to his email and phone communications so that he can resume more direct contact with lawyer, Rick Kerger.
If you care to apply pressure to Global Tel Link, which controls the private-side of the ability of prisoners and outsiders to communicate via email and phone, Sean says they are headquartered in Reston, VA and has offices in: Houston, TX, Sacramento, CA; Altoon, PA; & Mobile, AL. http://www.gtl.net

A classic talk from 1999 by political scientist MICHAEL PARENTI--still illuminating and often funny.
This week, Parenti shows how Western powers un-developed the "Third-World"--increasing poverty there in order to enrich corporations at home. Indeed, US foreign policy seems aimed largely at increasing the profits of the Fortune 500. This is the real purpose of the many US military interventions abroad, including "humanitarian" interventions.

Dirt from Under the Golden Arches: Workers Take McDonald's to Court
with
Joseph Sellers, plaintiff s attorney
Fast-food workers hit McDonald's with multiple class-action lawsuits claiming McDonald's is deliberately and is systematically stealing employees' wages by forcing them to work off the clock, shaving hours off their time cards and not paying them overtime, among other illegal practices. For workers already struggling to afford the basics, it's nearly impossible to make ends meet McDonald s " which raked in nearly $5.6 billion in profits last year " doesn't pay workers for all of their hours.
Attorney Joseph Sellers said: McDonalds has tried to shield itself from liability for these unlawful employment practices committed at its franchise restaurants. But we found evidence that McDonalds Corp. had indeed exerted the control over the daily operations at these franchise restaurant that makes it legally, jointly responsible for these unlawful pay practices. We believe it's time that McDonalds accept responsibility for the pay practices in its franchise restaurants as it serves jointly as an employer there.

Irish academics explain why they too call for boycott
April 11, 2014, 1:43 p.m.
Today we take an in-depth look at the call for the academic boycott of Israeli educational institutions as called for by the American Studies Association (ASA). This call has led to enormous flap on several US campuses as well as a welcomed broad discussion of Academic Freedom. We will try to get behind that discussion by tuning into a fascinating recorded press conference by an organization called Irish Academics for Palestine in Dublin where Irish academics explain to the media why they are calling for a similar nationwide boycott of Israeli academic institutions In Ireland. It includes an examination of the historic patterns of discrimination against Palestinian academics inherent in the Israeli system, as well as a look at the principles of Academic Freedom. Joining the Irish Academics is a Palestinian professor and author, and an Israeli academic, both of whom add important context to the discussion. Many of the discussions of academic freedom that we have seen concerning the ASA call for the academic boycott have dealt with the principles of academic freedom without the needed context of political reality. That is provided here. The coverage of the Academics for Palestine Press conference includes the introduction of all of the participating professors and their full presentations and a portion of the question and answer period.
