#313 -- Shadows of Liberty (2): More Media Monopoly
Feb. 28, 2014, 9:11 p.m.
How a few huge corporations control the news media and the news. Brief media-history lessons alternate with close-ups of particular stories.
This week: corporate mergers yield near-monopoly control of the news. And the story of reporter Gary Webb. Webb was destroyed by the big corporate media after exposing the CIA's role in the crack-cocaine trade in the US.
Plus an essay by Paul Krugman on why the latest proposed merger--Comcast and Time Warner Cable--is another bad idea.

Long Island Man Speaks Out About Health Wrecked by Incinerator Ash Exposure
Feb. 28, 2014, 4:19 p.m.
Tom Andaloro has a terrible story to tell. He tells it to me with strength and determination to bring out the Truth about how occupational exposure to incinerator ash ruined his health. Tom worked five years for Jamaica Ash and Rubbish Removal Company. He drove a truck hauling ash produced by the Covanta Energy Corp. municipal solid waste incinerator known as Covanta Babylon. A conveyor dropped ash into a pit in the ash storage building. A payloader bucketed up the ash and loaded his truck. The ash coated his skin, hair, clothing and shoes.
During the course of working this job he developed a very bad cough. The first doctor he went to suspected an occupational problem, but changed his mind and diagnosed allergies on Tom's second visit. No testing had been done to detect allergies. Tom found a new doctor in New Jersey. This doctor quickly assessed Tom's condition and diagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The new doctor attributed these health damages to on the job exposure to incinerator ash.
Jamaica Ash fired Tom when the company was notified that he was under the care of a doctor suffering from COPD. He lost his health insurance and union membership. Tom gave up on his Workers Compensation claim when the judge overseeing the proceeding allowed the employer to file false information about his medical history.
With all of the scientific knowledge that exists on the composition of incinerator ash, no one should be doing the work that Tom was doing without sophisticated health protective gear and clothing. Tom tried wearing a paper dust mask, but the ash went right through it. Jamaica
Ash should equip all employees who work in the ash storage building with respirators and protective clothing. The protective clothing should be washed at the end of each shift and not brought home. Boots should be provided to cover the workers' shoes so no ash was being
tracked into their vehicles and homes.
Incinerator ash has been found to contain many toxic chemicals: dioxins, PCBs, arsenic, lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury and nickel. All of these chemicals are carcinogens. These substances are endocrine disruptors. They cause harm to many organ systems. Exposure to dioxins and PCBs has been associated with increased risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, autism, ADHD, cognitive
impairment, reproductive problems and immune system dysfunction.
Mr. Andaloro hopes to find justice. So far he has been unable to find anything close to justice. He believes that the government entities responsible for protecting workers and assisting with job related health problems are broken and not functioning.

Haiti: Anatomy of a Coup D'Etat
Feb. 28, 2014, 12:25 p.m.
It was in the early hours of February 29, 2004, ten years ago, that US and Canadian soldiers in conjunction with France arrived at the presidential palace of democratically elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristode and compelled him to get on a plane and leave the country. Lavals supporters were jailed and an 'interim' government was installed.
This episode of the Global Research News Hour is a retrospective on those actions a decade ago. The interview guests are Jean St. Vil, a Haitian-born Ottawa-based Haitian solidarity activist, and Michel Chossudovsky, founder of the Centre for Research on Globalization, award-winning author and Emeritus Professor of Economics.
St.Vil reflects on the events of ten years ago, while Chossudovsky provides the geo-political backdrop of those events.

Out of the Woods - Show #203 - 2-27-14
Feb. 28, 2014, 7:36 a.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, 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
