New Jim Crow with Michelle Alexander
Jan. 8, 2011, 3:04 p.m.
Alexander offers a bold and innovative argument that mass incarceration amounts to a devastating system of racial control. âJarvious Cottonâs
great-great-grandfather could not vote as a slave. His great-grandfather was beaten to death by the Klu Klux Klan for attempting to vote. His grandfather was prevented from voting by Klan intimidation; his father was barred by poll taxes and literacy tests. Today, Cotton cannot vote because he, like many black men in the United States, has been labeled a felon & is currently on parole.â In this incisive critique, former litigator-turned-legal-scholar Michelle Alexander argues that we have not ended racial caste in America, we have simply redesigned it. Alexander shows that, by targeting black men and decimating communities of color, the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control, even as it formally adheres to the
principle of color blindness.
Bipolar Medication Myths with Joanna Moncrieff
Jan. 8, 2011, 1:50 p.m.
Is bipolar disorder a disease? Can medications like lithium correct chemical imbalances and stabilize mood? Do psychiatric drugs act completely differently on the brain than recreational drugs? UK psychiatrist Dr. Joanna Moncrieff, author of The Myth Of The Chemical Cure: A Critique of Psychiatric Drug Treatment, discusses how seeing psychiatric medications as treatments for disease misleads the public about how they actually work, and obscures their potential for abuse as tools of social control. www.critpsynet.freeuk.com www.academyanalyticarts.org/moncrieff.htm http://www.mentalhealth.freeuk.com/howwork.pdf

Gail Hornstein, Mt. Holyoke College professor and author of Agnes's Jacket: A Psychologist's Search for the Meanings of Madness, discusses the work of the Hearing Voices Movement in the UK, peer run support communities including Freedom Center in the US, and why professionals should let patients speak for themselves. http://www.gailhornstein.com http://bit.ly/aG9bnS

Jan. 8, 2011, 11:39 a.m.
Andrew Nikiforuk wrote âTar Sands: Dirty Oil and the Future of a Continentâ to spark discussions of how North America will reduce its energy consumption and develop non-combustion energy sources so as to avoid the down spiral that will eventually come if tar sands sourced fuels become the mainstay of our fuel supplies. He speaks strongly and clearly on this subject in the interview. The crash of our economies, our governments and our societies should we choose tar sands exploitation and business as usual is not a matter for conjecture. These crashes will occur if the tar sands energy supply path is taken. He states that the discussions of reduced consumption and alternative energy sources are not yet taking place. He states that the tar sands exploitation is rushing ahead. He states that the national government of Canada and the government of the Province of Alberta have become corrupted by the easy money of tar sands development.
The disastrous tar sands path has been walked on for many decades now. Tar sands are now the largest non-domestic source of oil for the United States. The US mid west is now heavily dependent upon tar sands for gasoline and diesel fuel. The time for turning back from the mistaken path is running out. People of good intention and clear mindedness need to start talking now about the changes that will lead away from tar sands use.
Listen to what Andrew Nikiforuk has to say. Read his book and start talking about an environmental revolution.
