Slouching Towards Sirte: Professor Forte Speaks
Oct. 24, 2013, 6:32 p.m.
The intervention in Libya is increasingly recognized as a disaster within mainstream discussion. But was it a disaster for the U.S. and NATO?
In this Hamilton, Ontario launch of his book, "Slouching Towards Sirte," Professor Maximilian C. Forte discusses the causes and consequences of NATO's 2011 "attack on Libya and Africa."
Forte "argues that the war on Libya was not about human rights, nor entirely about oil, but about a larger process of militarizing U.S. relations with Africa."

Michelle Alexander explains how the get-tough-on-crime policies were enacted in the 1970's were an effort to push back the gains of the Civil Rights Movement.
From Publishers Weekly
"Contrary to the rosy picture of race embodied in Barack Obama's political success and Oprah Winfrey's financial success, legal scholar Alexander argues vigorously and persuasively that we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it. Jim Crow and legal racial segregation has been replaced by mass incarceration as a system of social control (More African Americans are under correctional control today... than were enslaved in 1850). Alexander reviews American racial history from the colonies to the Clinton administration, delineating its transformation into the war on drugs. She offers an acute analysis of the effect of this mass incarceration upon former inmates who will be discriminated against, legally, for the rest of their lives, denied employment, housing, education, and public benefits. Most provocatively, she reveals how both the move toward colorblindness and affirmative action may blur our vision of injustice: most Americans know and don't know the truth about mass incarcerationâbut her carefully researched, deeply engaging, and thoroughly readable book should change that."

Radio News: 20131024 75th Anniversary of "War of the Worlds" Broadcast
Oct. 24, 2013, 12:02 a.m.
Report about the 75th anniversary of the Oct. 30, 1938 Mercury Theatre on the Air radio broadcast of "The War of the Worlds." The adaption of the H.G. Wells novel led to widespread panic, though historians continue to debate the extent of the panic. Welles was influenced by two earlier, similar broadcasts, one in which he played a role. He also used the famous radio broadcast of the Hindenburg explosion as a template for his actors. This report includes an excerpt of the Hindenburg broadcast, and a press conference Welles held with reporters the day after the broadcast.

Richmond Mayor Dwight C. Jones is making food security a priority as part of his initiative to curtail poverty in the city.

Mbanna Kantako - From WTRA to Human Rights Radio
Oct. 22, 2013, 11:27 p.m.
Mbanna Kantako speaks about the creation of WTRA (Tenants' Rights Association), the first micropower radio station in the U.S., the evolution of his political consciousness, and with that evolution, the transition of the station from WTRA to Black Liberation Radio, to African Liberation Radio to, finally, Human Rights Radio. Recorded at the University of Illinois on Feb. 19th, 1998.
This talk was originally posted to radio4all in 1998 at the following URL: http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/809
However, the links to the original sound files are broken. Moreover, before the links broke, the second segment (filename 0524blr2a.mp3) was corrupted so that there were dropouts making the segment unlistenable.
The version posted here was edited from the originally posted files to reduce noise and edited so the whole program would fit onto an 80 min CD (from back when people listened to such media :) . Several minutes were trimmed out from the original posted files to make the program fit. I have posted the third segment of the originally posted files, whose last 14 minutes are the last portion of the talk.
As of the date of this posting, the files previously accessible via radio4all can be found at http://www.mmnt.net/db/0/1/ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/radio4all/radio/, (filenames 0524blr1.mp3, 0524blr2a.mp3, and 0524blr3.mp3) but again, the second segment is corrupted to the point of unlistenability due to gaps in the audio. If anyone has an archived version of the original it would appreciated if s/he would repost it.
Global Seed Companies: Who Owns What - Professor Philip Howard
Oct. 22, 2013, 10:02 p.m.
According to Philip Howard there were over 10,000 seed companies in the US in the 1970s, by 1998 there were only 1,500 left. This is a fascinating, fact filled report of how an ever smaller group of chemical companies, foremost Monsanto, DuPont and Syngenta have taken over a majority share of the world seed supply in a very short period of time. And they are not only dealing in basic grains and genetic engineering of corn and soy, but have already successfully acquired fruits and vegetables seed companies and hybrid seed stock.
Genetic engineering, the patenting of seeds, sanctioned by Supreme Court and global trade jurisdiction now make the saving of an increasingly larger part of the world seed inheritance illegal. Of great concern is the movement on the part of these global corporations to also make illegal the replanting of their growing stockpile of non- engineered and hybrid seeds. And Howard explains how that is done.
