feuilleton radio tiré de deux livres disques intitulés Alexandre Jacob, la vie d'un honnête cambrioleur, parus chez l'Insomniaque qui relatent la vie de cet illégaliste, ennemi de la propriété privée et de la morale bourgeoise. Alexandre Jacob nait en 1879 alors que la gauche française est divisée entre les socialistes parlementaires qui souhaitent obtenir la justice sociale par la voie des élections et les anarchistes dits illégalistes qui pensent que la justice sociale ne se négocie pas mais se prend. à la fin du siècle, suite à la violente répression de la Commune de Paris, des révoltés optent pour l'acte individuel et volent pour rendre justice, font tomber des rois, des politiciens, des militaires, des policiers, etc. Le terrorisme des anarchistes est alors décrié par tous les journeaux et politiciens de l'époque. Alexandre Jacob se définit pour sa part comme un « illégaliste pacifiste » , il écrit : « Puisque les bombes font peur au peuple, volons les bourgeois, et redistribuons aux pauvres ! ». Les écrits de l'Insomniaque ainsi que le feuilletons radio reprennent des documents écrits de l'époque. Nous rediffusons des extraits de ce feuilleton lors des deux prochaines émission. www.atelierdecreationlibertaire.com.

BSTF 872 - Hurricane Spectacular 15 - "Etouffée, Brute?"
June 26, 2011, 1:57 a.m.
Tonight's HURRICANE SPECTACULAR is Chapter 15: "Etouffée, Brute?"!
Our wayward George has managed to escape the horrors of the SuperDome and once again roams the hurricane-wrecked swamps. He tries his (shitty) luck hitchhiking with a series of bitter, hostile evacuees, only to fall victim to a clutch of Klansmen -- Lester Maddox, JB Stoner, James Earl Ray, and the Grand Dragon himself, Pat Robertson. Robertson, still nursing a white-hot grudge against the Bushes, invites George to get hammered with them--to a fiery cross! As if that weren't bad enough, George still faces an appointment with dark destiny... in the form of his sadistic kidnapper Jack, who is roaring through the bayous on a mission of murder.
There will be BLOOD. You might want to put a drip pan under your radio.
For music tonight, we have a dose of "4-Way Diablo" by Monster Magnet, and THE most fucking amazing, fucking DARK version of "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" by the world's most hardcore fucking band, Deadbolt!!! Also--I did NOT do the George Bush cover of "Imagine," but I wish I had. As far as I can tell, it's by Rx2008, but I could be wrong.
BSTF 871 - Hurricane Spectacular 14 - D'OHME!
June 26, 2011, 1:41 a.m.
HURRICANE SPECTACULAR, Chapter 14: "D'OHME!!!"
As the fourteenth hour of our saga unfolds, Hurricane Katrina still howls away, scouring the littered Mississippi Delta. Stained with the blood of his slain brother Jeb, George stumbles alone across the ravaged floodscape in search of food and shelter. But, wait--! What to his one remaining eye should appear--? Sweet civilization! He has entered the City of New Orleans proper. Relief washes over him as he finds that survivors are being routed to a rescue area. Calloo! Callay! He's safe, he thinks, and then happily staggers into the shattered, accursed SuperDome -- little realizing that within the circular arena, his own particular Circle of Hell awaits him. The vault door clangs behind him, the die is cast... How long before the thousands of hysterical, desperate refugees all around him discover the renegade George's true identity?
Featuring a perfect song I found in the slushbox at WREK called "Blanco's Big Mistake" by Louisiana Guerilla, "Roll the Bodies Over" by Stump, "The Inferno Rap" by MicPwr and Mr Moe of the Eternal Kool Project, and Andrew Horabin's great Bushbashin' songfest "Georgie Boy" (I'm George Bush Junior and I Do What I Like).
BSTF 870 - Hurricane Spectacular 13 - Rock/Paper/Caesars!
June 26, 2011, 1:18 a.m.
Tonight we're up to Chapter 13 of the HURRICANE SPECTACULAR: "Rock/Paper/Caesars!"
And YES, seekers, no bullshit--tonight is the FINAL final facedown between the Bush Brothers!
This episode goes balls to the wall and BEYOND! On a bleak, dystopian, hurricane-ravaged plain littered with rotting pornography, George Walker Bush faces Jeb Robertson Bush in a rolling, biting, eye-stabbing grudgematch that goes all the way to the GRAVE!!! YES!! **YES!!!** Tonight, FINALLY, one of them will die, and this time, he will STAY DEAD! This is a TRIPLE-CAGE DEATHMATCH with no holds or holes barred! It's flying folding chairs and dismembered body parts as two intertwined lifetimes of hate, ambition, and treachery ultimately twist together into a lit fuse that ignites an explosive Ragnarok of apocalyptic violence!
I'm not kidding, motherfuckers, this one is that fucking epic--even the name of the title contains some truth, which you'll see after a listen. Lucky Chapter 13 will make you SHIT. But FYI: *I* ain't cleanin' it up.
BSTF 869 - Hurricane Spectacular 12 - Meet George Jenkem!
June 26, 2011, 1:06 a.m.
HURRICANE SPECTACULAR Chapter 12: "Meet George Jenkem!"
Deathmatch, schmeathmatch. Jeb Robertson Bush has hunted down and slain his rogue brother in the swamps, but to no avail--the demonic George refuses to die! Being decapitated, filleted, and left for dead only got the dumbass worked up. What the fuck can his half-brother do? A revelatory astral visit from Jeb's ghostly real dad Pat Robertson lays an onus on his anus to finish the job.
Meanwhile, out in the bayou, George discovers the worst--he's out of BEER! But then, a solution--"solution" being in a LITERAL sense-- presents itself when George recalls his frat days and the pleasures of gettin' high off jenkem...and "Oh, shit" ain't enough of a description.
Trust me, this episode rapidly plunges from the operatic heights to the pull-my-finger depths like a skeet-shot cliffdiver--but it serves a real purpose, because we'll *need* a breather and a little recreational chemical therapy. This story arc is playing out, and it's about to shift into high gear. Get ready to strap in, because the NEXT episode is one motherfucker of a nitrofueled grindhouse explosion of stunning, jaw-dropping violence that FINALLY, ONCE AND FOR ALL SETTLES THE GEORGE/JEB SCORE FOR GOOD.
Some program notes: No, that isn't my George W. mashup of "Fortunate Son," but I wish it were. Plus, if any misguided tweens are tempted to try jenkem, after hearing this, they're going to think you have to DRINK it. (Consider this my version of an effective anti-jenkem PSA.) Featuring a special guest appearance by Evil Susie -- as the *voice of REASON*(?!!)
Hell--I have no idea where this fucking thing is going, either. Just find something you can latch onto and try to hang the fuck on, PLEASE.

cuts occupying downtown Manhattan near City Hall for the past week, in symbolic encampments theyâve called Bloombergville in a campaign to defeat the mayor's cutbacks and layoffs. The campaign against Bloomberg's poverty budget has resulted in arrests of some of the protesters and the NYPD has threatened arrests on several other occasions, but Bloombergville is still alive -- and growing.

Key Democrats Join Gov. Christie Cutting Public Worker Bargaining Rights
and Balancing the Budget on the Backs of the Workers
With
Barbara Keshishian, President, New Jersey Education Association
Hetty Rosenstein,Area Dir. Communications Workers of America New Jersey
Despite a massive outpouring of protesters at the State Capital at Trenton, Democratic leaders of the State Senate and Assembly, Stephen Sweeney and Sheila Oliver, joined with bombastic bully Governor Chris Christie to get approval for a measure to strip health care benefits from collective bargaining rights for state public workers. This could triple health care costs to workers while the millionaires tax went down in defeat. Combined with so called New Jersey public worker pension reforms this will lead to lowering workers pay by 5 -10% while reaping big profits for the insurance industry who charge high commissions for public worker health care insurance.
