Greek Fascism Proliferating under Austerity (Autumn 2012)
Dec. 3, 2012, 6:19 p.m.
The current Greek government led by the center-right New Democracy Party came to power in June vowing to keep Greece on the path of immiserating economic reforms mandated by European Central bankers in exchange for debt relief. Its nearest contender was the opposition Syriza, a coalition of leftist parties challenging the dominant logic of starving society to feed the bankers.
Less noticed, on this side of the Atlantic at least â were the political gains of the neo-fascist Golden Dawn party, which won 18 parliamentary seats on an anti-Europe, anti-immigrant platform. Less noticed, even when its thuggish MPs led phalanxes of blackshirts to physically assault what they called "immigrant scum", with the collusion of the police, and openly called for violence against the state and against political opponents. The U.K. Guardian reported police standing idle while Golden Dawn members beat a journalist at the opening of a gay-themed play, and Athens police arresting and torturing opponents of Golden Dawn.
Meanwhile, new polls show that Golden Dawn is more popular among Greeks than ever, opening new branches throughout the country, and even in New York City. We were joined from London by Maria Margaronis, just back from a 5-day reporting trip to Greece. She broke the story of police torture for the Guardian. That story at and more at:

This original piece was inspired by a hand-sized fragment of crystalline sulphur gathered from the slopes of Mount Aetna, near the place of my birth. It brought forth a remembrance of the story of Empedocles of Akragas, the Sicilian poet, philosopher and healer who was considered by the Roman physician Galen to be the founder of the science of medicine in Italy. Empedocles was born during the remarkable time that brought forth such enlightened beings as Pythagoras, Lao Tzu, Confucius, and Gautama Buddha.
Empedocles generated the doctrine of four elements - air earth, fire and water - as an elaboration of the monism of Parmenides. This notion was to be highly influential in both Western philosophy and in the theory and practice of European medicine for a period of over 2,000 years.
Among his remarkable achievements, Empedocles made life easier for the inhabitants of his native Akragas (present-day Agrigento) by draining the fetid swamps that surrounded the town thereby freeing the population from the scourge of malaria that swept through local communities every year. He also directed a massive engineering project to construct a series of berms which deflected the searing winds of the Saharan Sirocco away from the cultivated fields that supplied the town thereby securing food supplies in the region.
According to legend, Empedocles quietly slipped away from an evening celebration held in his honour at a location near Mount Aetna. A few days later, a search party discovered his bronze sandals placed carefully on the edge of the crater of the erupting volcano.

BSTF #941-LNI's "KILL "Bob"!!" Show!
Dec. 2, 2012, 7:57 p.m.
Last week, with their "Praise "Bob"!" Show, the good (?) doktors of the Lymph Node Institute sent J.R. "Bob" Dobbs a love letter. Well, paper has two sides--and so does their love of Our High Epopt. After all, what is love but hate reversed? The other side of the Hate Coin flashes bright and hot as Doc Ellis, backed by the hellish sounds of Dr Bugbladder, dissects the eternal must/cannot, pushmi-pullyu conundrum of just WHY and HOW we MUST KILL "BOB". The LNI weaves together sonic/spoken "Bob"-killing serving suggestions, abetted by chunks of King of Slack, Brion Gysin, DEVO, the El Queso All-Stars, Nenslo, Doktor Howll, Doug , Reverend Ivan Stang & His Crippled Fingers, Two Beans, Hendrix, Slackfux--and hell, who knows what else?
Hey, when you're gonna kill your own personal Dobbs, you better come loaded for bear. Hell, if you're smart--come loaded for frickin' Rape Bear.

Walmart & Disney Refuse Responsibility For Worker Compensation In Bangladesh Fire Where Death Toll Soared to More than 121 And Where Labor Organizers Are Tortured and Disappeared
With
Kalpona Akter, Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity
Kalpona Akter, who has been a garment worker since she was 12 years old, faces myriad criminal charges for organizing for labor rights in the garment industry and while she mourns brother labor activists who have been tortured, and others who have been assassinated she is un- relenting in her organizing against the
conditions that led to the deaths & critical injuries of hundreds of Bangladeshi garment workers recently. She discusses the safety risks,poverty wages, abusive treatment, unsafe conditions faced by workers who sew the clothes we wear, along with the government's campaign of terror against labor rights activists. Akter places squarely before us the question of why Bangladeshi workers have to die sewing cheap clothing while the brands Walmart, H&M, Gap and Disney make millions and avoid responsibility and compensating the victims of the terrifying blaze for the
