Demand NY MTA Bring Back Laid Off Workers and The Line Against Unemployment
March 11, 2012, 10:06 a.m.
Protest Demands NY's MTA Brings Back Laid Off Workers
With
Transport Workers Local 100
and
OWS Labor Outreach Committee
TWU Local 100, elected officials, and community supporters called on the MTA to use nearly $500 million dollars in its GASB 45 Fund to restore services cut in 2010, and to rehire over 120 laid-off Station Agents, and settle a fair contract for 38,000 TWU Local 100 members. According to MTA budget documents, the agency holds approximately $489 million in a reserve fund called the GASB 45 Fund (Government Accounting Standards Board). Since 2006, the MTA has been depositing tens of millions of dollars every year in this account. Even in 2010, when bus and subway services were reduced or eliminated al-together, the MTA stashed money away instead of drawing from its reserve fund to avoid service cuts.

Thousands Joined The Line Saying "NO MORE PINK SLIPS"
With
Arthur Cheliotes, President, Communications Workers , Local 1180
On Super Tuesday March 6, from 8:14 to 8:28 am New Yorkers joined to form the
world's longest unemployment line for 14 minutes - 1 minute for each of the 1 million currently unemployed Americans. This visually stunning and politically significant form of protest symbolized the 14 million Americans who lost their jobs during the last five years, and the 10 -15 million people who have given up hope of finding a job and are not even counted in current unemployment statistics. More people were living in poverty last year
than in any year since the Census Bureau began keeping records half a century ago, while the richest 1% has tripled its wealth and corporations are being bailed out without giving back. The Line, a creative action stretching arms and joining together to say, No to Pink Slips, Yes to Government and Business Putting America Back to Work!
BSTF 904 - The DROPLIFT Project
March 11, 2012, 8:32 a.m.
The DROPLIFT Project! http://www.droplift.org/
SubGenius artist KRK Ryden turned me on to this a few years ago, and it made an episode of BSTF worth bringing out into the light again-- the Droplift Project. This guerilla underground music movement began in 2000 and is continuing today. "Droplifting" is the reverse of shoplifting --a baffling noncrime to make a statement about copyright and commercialism. On July 28, 2000, operatives of the movement slipped into retail record stores, slipped this well-packaged compilation disc of their own into the racks, and then slipped out again, creating ripples of WTF mayhem in their wake.
Here's the press release on their website:
http://www.droplift.org/pressrelease.html
Tonight you'll hear what the confused yet intrigued purchasers of these rogue ceedees heard! The collage barrage includes works by our own SubGenius Doktors Dr Phineas Narco, Bill T. Miller and OBE, and Dad's New Slacks!

Ephraim of Syria. The Pearl (Part I)
March 11, 2012, 1:10 a.m.
"The Pearl. Seven Hymns on the Faith" was written by the 4th Century theologian, mystic, poet and wonder-worker, Ephraim of Syria. Among other things, this beautiful poem presents an artful statement of the nature of scrying and offers a remarkable opening into the sources of imaginal vision.
This poetic/musical interpretation of Part I of "The Pearl" was developed from the original J.B. Morris translation of 1898.

A Beautiful Bohemian
March 10, 2012, 1:42 a.m.
This audio program offers a 6th anniversary remembrance of the death by knifing of Australian musician Darren Jones who was killed in an unprovoked attack while returning home from classes at the Victorian College of the Arts on February 23rd 2006.
This presentation was developed from a series of depth interviews with 11 people - most of them fellow musicians - who were part of Darren Jones' intimate circle. It explores the effects of such a horrifying event on a community of artists and friends and details the slow and painful process of healing that follows such an existential collapse.

Iran's "Threat" to Israel, Dire Racism in Libya
March 9, 2012, 4:08 p.m.
Yakov Rabkin, a speaker at the recent Science for Peace anti-war workshop about Iran, has pursued the continuing question over Israel's intentions towards the Islamic Republic. The discussion in the headlines is whether or not Israel might be interested in a pre-emptive attack on the Iran - a discussion alarming in its audacity. Are we dealing with another "Weapons of Mass Distraction" issue?
Thomas C. Mountain was one of the first to follow-up on the stories of "African mercenaries" in Libya, where he suggested that such rumors would bring vicious consequences for black Libyans. His most dire predictions have been realized in the recent films of prisoner abuse. Phil and Thomas also discuss the West's approach to Syria and Bahrain.

We feature 2 interesting articles. One examines the booming business of diagnostic CT scans. Problem is, researchers have found that the biggest identifiable cause of breast cancer is ... CT scans. The other exposes the Susan G. Komen organization as a right-wing tool of Big Pharma. It's an outfit that has no interest in PREVENTING breast cancer, and it turns a blind eye to the ways its corporate backers are CAUSING breast cancer. Plus remarks by RALPH NADER, Dr. SUSAN ROSENTHAL, and me.
