Stop the spread of GE Trees in the South before it starts!

from http://www.ashevillefm.org/the-final-straw/04/2013/stop-the-spread-of-ge-trees-in-the-south-before-it-starts: Anne Petermann, of the Global Justice Ecology Project, joins us this week to talk about the threats posed by Genetically Engineered Trees getting released into the U.S. as the USDA considers allowing Arborgen to found millions of acres of plantations across the southern U.S. These plantations, reaching from Texas to South Carolina, where the company is based, could destroy forest diversity, kill wildlife, exacerbate droughts, feed fire storms (not Firestorm), and spread quickly with the help of cold-resistant gene modification. In the last week of May, Asheville will be hosting a Biotech Tree conference. Concurrently, Katuah Earth First! and GJEP (along with other projects) will be holding protests and workshops around the issues of GE Trees to educate the public and grow resistance. http://www.treebiotech2013.org/ http://globaljusticeecology.org/stopgetrees.php On Mapuche resistance in Chile, check out: https://chileboliviawalmapu.wordpress.com/ http://wccctoronto.wordpress.com/ The tracklist can be found here: http://www.ashevillefm.org/node/6716 Archives of this show and contact can be found at thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org

A stark contrast with last week's show, we look this week behind the facade of the separation of powers in USA. Do any effective checks remain on how the US government behaves itself?

Beyond Corporate Capitalism and State Socialism with Gar Alperovitz

What Then Must We Do? with Gar Alperovitz, author of What Then Must We Do? and The Next American Revolution: Beyond Corporate Capitalism and State Socialism While there's been no shortage of commentary about the structural crisis plaguing the American economic and political system, from wage stagnation and chronic unemployment to unchecked corporate and state power and growing inequality, analyses that offer practical, politically viable solutions to these problems have been few and far between. Gar Alperovitz is a rare and stunning exception. Through his new book and film and his ongoing research and activism, Alperovitz highlights efforts already under way in thousands of communities across the U.S., from co-ops and community land trusts to municipal, state, and federal initiatives to organize and democratize capital. , Alperovitz marshals years of research to show how bottom-up strategies can work to check monopolistic corporate power, democratize wealth, and empower communities.

Cubans fight terrorism

Cuba is a country that has actually fought terrorism. Adriana Perez, whose husband Gerardo Hernandez is one of the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters unjustly imprisoned in the U.S.A. since 1998, explains the campaign to release her husband and four others. Phil comments on the Boston bombing - it's a fact that the Russian government specifically warned the FBI about the bombers. The U.S. government was unconcerned about the threat posed by Chechen extremists, who act against the Russian government. We can draw parallels to how the U.S. maligned Cuban anti-terrorist efforts. Meanwhile, the U.S. can't seem to cut its ties with Chechen rebels, Al Qaeda in Syria, terror funders in Saudi Arabia, and so on.
