Episode 11 - Why Is Capitalism In Crisis? - A Talk by Pam Frache

Jim went to the Marxism2013 Conference at Ryerson University where they graciously allowed him to record some talks, including this one called "Why is capitalism in crisis?” from Pam Frache, a leading member of the International Socialists. She is a former labour researcher and current gracuate student at McMaster University. The conference was organised by the International Socialists, an organization of activists committed to helping in the construction of such a party through ongoing activity in the mass organizations of the working class and in the daily struggles of workers and the oppressed.

Kwentong Bayan illustrates the strength of Filipino caregivers to Canada

To help spread a heightened awareness and insight into the experiences of Filipinos who work under Canada’s Live-in Caregiver Program, one of the streams of Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program, Toronto-based artists Althea Balmes and Jo SiMalaya Alcampo are seeking to make a grassroots, community-engaged comic book in collaboration with these faces. I had a conversation with them this past May to learn more about their project “Kwentong Bayan: Labour of Love”.

Janie Rezner interviews Ronnie James, author,Touching Wings,Touching Wild, ,and creator of

Ronnie writes, “I fell in love with the Mendocino Coast as a 9-year-old when I came to camp at the Mendocino Woodlands and visited Homer and Lil Drinkwater’s Remedy Store in Mendocino for an ice cream. I stood on the board sidewalk to watch a man ride down the dirt street on horseback and tie up to a hitching rail in front of the store. I knew I’d found that spot on earth where I belonged.” But between 1951 and her move to Mendocino in 1987, she finished college at UC Berkeley, worked as an emergency room and laboratory medical technologist in Modesto, California, retired from a 17 year marriage and moved to Davis where she raised her two sons as a single mother. “When they were both off to college, I knew my time had come, and moved to Mendocino where I’ve now lived for 26 years.” “The Wildlife program started by accident a week after I moved here, when I visited veterinarian Jan Detrick’s office to get cat food, and he showed me a permanently disabled Great Horned Owl he had rescued.” It was Woodlands Wildlife’s first bird. During the next 26 years, Woodlands Wildlife grew into Mendocino County’s only wildlife rehab center, and in her free time James wrote the National Historic Landmark nomination and served as President of the Board of Directors for the Mendocino Woodlands Outdoor Center for 13 years. In 2008 she led the community drive to raise $62,000 to restore the Little River Improvement Club (Little River’s 125-year-old Good Templars’ Lodge and community center building) and opened it as a museum and meeting hall.

Remarks of Palestinian journalist Jonathan Cook

Remarks of Journalist Jonathan Cook of Nazareth, one of the many Palestinians living within the "official" borders of Israel. 20% of the population of Israel-proper is Palestinian. Cook's 2009 remarks are eerily predictive of the Arabic struggle for survival today. Cook points out that Palestine is fast disappearing and fulfilling the objectives of Israel's founding fathers. Over many decades, Israel has developed and refined policies to disperse, imprison and impoverish the Palestinian people, in a relentless effort to destroy them as a nation. It has industrialized Palestinian despair through ever more sophisticated systems of curfews, checkpoints, walls, permits and land grabs. Cook analyzes how Israel has transformed the West Bank and Gaza into laboratories for testing the infrastructure of confinement, creating a lucrative "defense" industry by pioneering the technologies needed for urban warfare, crowd control and collective punishment.

#276 -- Imperialism, Wall Street, and War (Part 1)

In this fine talk, GLEN FORD shows that much of American foreign policy--including military interventions in the Third World--is all about containing China. The US cannot compete with China economically because Wall Street sold off our manufacturing assets to inflate its own profits. To protect corporate profits, the US's only remaining source of power is its huge military--which the government is now wielding globally with blatant disregard of national sovereignty and international law.

Walmart Strikers Rally: Cablevision Attacks NLRB

Walmart Strikers Rally Outside Shareholder Meeting in Arkansas with Tsegau Almaz, Walmart Associate, Crenshaw, Los Angeles, Member OUR Walmart Campaign Walmart strikers, with assistance from the OUR Walmart campaign, launched the first prolonged strike in the company's history, capping it with a rally on Friday outside the company's shareholder meeting in Bentonville, Ark. Workers began the strike more than a week ago and went on a freedom ride-inspired trek, called the "Ride for Respect," to Walmart headquarters in Bentonville. The strike ended after the shareholder meeting. Workers from more than 30 cities joined in the ride, which was a massive education program meant to educate Walmart workers & communities about the issues of Walmart. Among these are higher wages, more hours, health care, protection against retaliation for raising workers' rights issues and Walmart's failure to provide for the safety of workers in factories overseas that manufacture the products the retail giant sells such as the 1,239 garment workers who died at the Rana Plaza building collapse in Banglasdesh. The strikers were joined by Kalpona Alter, Ex. Dir., Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity, who implored Walmart to take action to insure that the factories where Wal-Mart products are made should be safe for the workers. ****************************** Cablevision Breaks Law, Then Attacks NLRB with Tim Dubnau, Organizing Coordinator, District One, Communication Workers of America Cablevision, the cable giant is asking the federal court to undermine the authority of the National Labor Relations Board in pursing complaints charging Cablevision with multiple violations of labor law. Since Brooklyn technicians voted to unionize more than a year ago, Cablevision has refused to bargain in good faith. Cablevision actually fired 23 workers in Brooklyn after the workers used management's "open door" policy to talk to a vice president about how the company was stonewalling their first-contract bargaining. Cablevision has illegally intimidated workers, brazenly violated federal law by firing workers for protected activity, while refusing to offer any improvements in wages to the newly unionized technicians in Brooklyn.
