The war in Libya now enters it's fifth month. The NATO lead mission is said to be under the the banner of protecting civilians and promoting democracy. Yet the mission has not lead to any desirable path to peace. What would a proper peace process look like? Does the United Nations have clear mandates for peace that could be used? Scott Price interviews Eliakim Sibanda, Chair of the History department at the University of Winnipeg on what a peace process would look like without military intervention.

Three from Bughouse Square

"The Bughouse Square Debates pays tribute to the Haymarket Affair, which began on May 4, 1886 as a planned protest by workers against a violent police attack on strikers at the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company the day before. At an otherwise peaceful protest, a bomb was thrown at police after they marched on the crowd and ordered it to disperse. One officer was killed immediately and 60 wounded; an undetermined number of protesters were killed or wounded. Eight anarchists were charged with murder for the deaths at what became known as the Haymarket Riot. Their subsequent trial and conviction lacked credible evidence and relied instead on the men’s writings and speeches. On November 11, 1887 four were hanged in the Cook County jail (a fifth had suicided in his cell). The trial is considered one of the worst miscarriages of justice in American history. The Haymarket bombing and its political aftermath crippled the labor movement’s pursuit of the eight-hour workday. In 1893, Illinois Governor John Peter Altgeld pardoned the three surviving men. His action contributed to his failure to win reelection in 1896 and cost him his political career. But it is also the inspiration for the John Peter Altgeld Freedom of Speech Award, which the Bughouse Square Committee presents annually to a person or organization that has defended free speech and ideas."

From Deficit Deals to Double Dip Recession

America's 4-D Economy: From Deficit Deals to Double Dip Recession with Jack Rasmus, author of "Epic Recesssion: Prelude to Global Depression" First, we were frightened by politicians proclaiming that the economic ceiling will fall in if the deficit wasn't cut by trillions. Then the politicians insisted that in order to raise the debt ceiling we needed to endure, guess what cuts, cuts, cuts. But, the U.S. manufacturing sector has collapsed, the public sector is hemorrhaging jobs, and consumer spending is plunging, and the jobs that were jobs created, may have kept the recent unemployment figures from shooting up, but were hardly enough to keep pace with those about to enter the workforce and certainly don't effect those living on extended unemployment benefits, those who simply can't find work, and those who are underemployed and really can't support their families. The real economy is accelerating its slide toward a double dip recession and the deficit reduction deal approved by Congress will make it harder to fight the coming re-recession. We'll discuss why and what really needs to be done to stimulate the economy. ************************* Recesssion and Militarism with Vijay Prashad, George and Martha Kellner Chair in South Asian History and Professor of International Studies at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut At a recent lecture at NYC's Riverside Church, Prashad explored the boom & bust of the capitalist cycle. Even in boom years people do not have enough to spend so the economy declines. But if the people are not strong, even then capitalism resists spending for social services, preferring to stimulate the economy with spending on domestic repression and war. Prashad places this in the context of globalization and the present protests around the world which began in Tunisia and Egypt.

BSTF 878 - LNI Doc P. Ellis's SUMMER LECTURES Series 1

I found the first part of Doc Ellis's SUMMER LECTURES series last week, so here it is--out of sequence, but 100% worthwhile! Believe me, seekers, this is input that you can use for Yeti survival. A little Doc'll do ya. Yeah, Doc's Summer Lectures... DAMNED if I know the titles of any of these rants, but they are fucking sterling examples of his craft. With his Aspergian detachment, the Lymph Node Institute's Doc P. Ellis could survey the pseudo-human condition with such an astute, sharply focused eye and analyze the rat-maze we're stuck in with a crystalline clarity that still gleams a decade+ later. I'm just guessing at most of the titles of these, and I'm clueless about some of the musical segues. I DO know it's Dr Bugbladder making the hideous noises and effects behind Doc's lectures, though. That's Bugsy's secret superpower. The first lecture is the Post-X-Day '98 ReEntry Status report from Myanmar (don't ask). Next comes Doc's Joke Rant. That's what he called it, I remember. Then there's what I'm calling "Six Simple Therapeutic Machines," his brilliant analysis of the classic Six Simple Machines integrated into a system of psychological therapies for Yetis. Take your pick-- Doc explains the benefits and pitfalls of each so you can tailor your regime to your own particular needs/weaknesses. Then there's the "Chinese FingerTrap Rant." That's his title. More crucial survival techniques explained and Conspiracy snare exposed. And the "X-Day '98 Failure Assessment." That's my title for it, because that's exactly what it is--a report after the ashes of our non-Apocalypse were sifted. Doc finds the BlackBox of the UFO that DIDN'T come for us and analyzes what the FUCK went wrong with the Church's plans for global Armageddon. Interspersed through it are songs such as James Kochalka's anthem "Monkey versus Robot," And a version Of CSN's "Ohio" that sounds like DEVO, or perhaps a DEVO cover band from the NNBBM collection.

BSTF 877 - Stark Mockit (retooled)

This is a retool of the show I did in November 2008, so we have the anachronism of George being blamed for everything--I didn't want to get into tearing more politician ass. I'm getting out of that racket-- although there is a mention of "Acorn and me" in the mix. There's also the prescient Tonio K's song "The Ballad of the Night the Clocks All Stopped and the Government Failed," as well as "After You Go" by Baby and the Pacifiers and protoFlooze Joan Blondell singing "Ballad of the Forgotten Man" from GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933 (she was like Susan Tyrrell without the rage). And what's all this about "Tao Joannes"? I added some touches like Homer getting raped & raped & raped & raped by a BEAR--and Cristina's version of "Is That All There Is?" to round it up to an hour.
