What's wrong with the U.S. food system?

Poor nutrition is a big reason why almost one-fifth of the U.S. GDP is devoted to health care. We show how the U.S. food industry became cartelized and vertically integrated after World War II with the emergence of agribusiness. As the large food corporations and their partners in the oil and chemical industry pursue profits, the quality of the U.S. diet has steadily deteriorated with the massive use of pesiticides, preservatives and corn syrup. A return to local farming and home gardens may be the answer.

Internal Balkanization

Arguably, the number one threat to the Patriot Movement is infighting. It has been quite noticeable and it’s not a recent phenomenon either. It’s something that’s been going on in fits and starts over many years. Even though there are current efforts to conduct third party arbitration, internal balkanization is very much a genuine threat and still constitutes the biggest elephant in the room. Tonight will be a rebroadcast of the March 13, 2012 You Have Tread on Me broadcast entitled, “Gary Hunt Exposed! John Doe #4 @ OKC.” That episode is reused with permisson.

Clinton: Syria No-Fly-Zone

CLINTON FLOATS SYRIA “NO FLY ZONE” IN TURKEY CONTRA SUMMIT State Secretary Hillary Clinton was in Istanbul this weekend, where she announced US contemplation of a “no-fly zone” in Syria to escalate the clandestine proxy intervention against Bashar al Assad by foreign jihadis and al Qaeda operatives. The mideastern “contra” war is being coordinated by the CIA, armed by NATO and Qatar, and funded by Saudi Arabia. JENNIFER LOEWENSTEIN, co-director of Middle East Studies at the University of Wisconsin in Madison [ chomskyfund.org ], discusses the Obama administration’s “troubling” escalation, the neutralizing of Syria’s legitimate domestic nonviolent opposition, and future decades of Afghan-style “blowback” likely to follow US recruitment of Al Qaeda militants as proxy invaders; HILLARY CLINTON statements about her Turkey trip, and insistence on “regime change”; Richard Wagner - "Ride of the Valkyries (Walkürenritt)"; and RICK ROZOFF of “Stop NATO” [ rickrozoff.wordpress.com ] discusses the Obama administration’s Syrian brinkmanship in the context of the 11-year war on “terror,” NATO’s recent morphing from a regional alliance into a tool of total global domination, and potential future targets, including Iran, former Soviets, Venezuela, Bolivia, and others.

Red Plenty

"In the 1950s, I was a baby boomer in saddle shoes and a school uniform. I lived in a brick house, ate cereal, and wanted to be a teacher or a nurse until I married a handsome man and had children. My dad went to work. He fought in the War that pushed all the bad men to the other side of the world. We hoped the President would be able to keep them there, behind the Iron Curtain...."

Episode 08/07/2012

Wow... just for the record, the Radio4All page AND the WRIR page are kind of broken in IE. I hate IE. That said, tonight's show was totally fun, and all over the place, within three or four discrete chunks. Including a Britpop chunk, a German-language chunk, and a Hobbs chunk. Super-fun, with highs and lows.

Undulating Rhythms

Tonight's segment started off in a familiar krautrock-oriented direction, but rest assured, most of the spectrum was covered. Caution got caught in a blustering wind and ended up leaving the studio entirely. We're pretty sure this is a good episode, but the slowing of time make it hard to tell. Thanks for lending an ear.
