Gail Stevens, mother of Connor, Cleveland 4 defendant
Oct. 1, 2012, 2:58 a.m.
This week's show features a conversation with Gail Stevens. Gail is the mother of imprisoned activist and anarchist, Connor Stevens, who is one of the four anarchists that the FBI is accusing of attempting to blow up a bridge outside of Cleveland, Ohio. Connor and two other defendants, Brandon Baxter and Doug Wright, have taken a non-cooperating plea deal in the case and face their sentencing hearing on November 5th & 6th of 2012. Joshua Stafford is currently undergoing psychiatric testing to see if he can stand trial. Anthony Hayne took a cooperating plea.
During the interview Gail talks about her son, Connor, and offers a different story than what the FBI and even Rolling Stone Magazine have proposed as to what happened leading up to the arrest of the 5 on April 30th of this year. Gail also rips into the poor journalism involved in "The Plot Against Occupy" and tells us what Sabrina R. Erdely got wrong.
For more info on the case, check out http://cleveland4solidarity.org

" One afternoon in the Haitian countryside, I was sitting in the yard next to a friendâs house watching her scrub her way through a tent-sized pile of laundry and not lifting a finger to help. Because I didnât feel like it. Getting my hands all dried out from all that bleach they use, and half the time, I rub my cuticles raw and whatever I toss in the rinse bucket, someone pulls out and washes again. I was tired. I ended up staying plopped there most of the afternoon, sitting on the banks of the river of time, watching the laundry move, forgetting to get up..."

What Financiers Have in Store for Consumers, with Mike Konczal
Sept. 29, 2012, 7:38 p.m.
The head of Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign has been appointed to lead a major Wall Street lobbying group. What does that signal for regular Americans, for the 99%? Or for the 47% that Romney labelled "dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing . . . These are people who pay no income tax. . . . My job is not to worry about those people."
Romney worries about other people, like the financiers he was speaking to. What do they believe they're entitled to? The Congress and its financial regulations--do they protect the 1%, or protect consumers?
With Mike Konczal, research fellow at the Roosevelt Institute in New York
Radio interview by John Grebe, first aired live on Sounds of Dissent on WZBC 90.3 FM, Greater Boston on September 29, 2012.
