Episode 528: Cigars from Wisconsin?

SMOKES Episode – This is our Premium Cigar Association trade show debrief. Hang on for this great but extended discussion covering 20 cigars. It’s tough to sum up the 3 day tradeshow in our regular format. Many highs, and lows, in this balanced discussion. We managed to cover some cigars that were released at PCA. Barger was not arrested, often. Unfortunately, we could not fit the zero gravity chairs into our luggage to take home.

Attack on Eritrean Festival was a classic pogrom

Despite warnings, the Toronto Eritrean Festival was attacked by thugs, police came late, did little and the media jump all over the victims. Eritrean events were attacked by the same organization in US, Germany, and Sweden. In Toronto the police decision to cancel the rest of the festival, which has been a traditional and popular even for more that 20 years, has handed the attackers a victory on a platter. Be aware, the neo-colonialists have blood in their eyes.

Dismantle the Doomsday Machine - Abolish Nuclear Weapons

There are two locations where all US nuclear weapons are designed. Lawrence Livermore National Lab in California is one of them. Since 1983 Tri-Valley CAREs has monitored nuclear weapons and environmental clean-up throughout the US, with a special focus on Livermore Lab. Every year on August 6 Tri-Valley CAREs and supporters gather at the gates of Livermore Lab to remember the victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This year, 2023, the silent vigil was also dedicated to Daniel Ellsberg. He had been at the gates of Livermore Lab many times in the past and gotten arrested for blocking the entrance. He died in June of this year at age 93. Ellsberg had released “The Pentagon Papers” to hasten an end to the war on Vietnam. He was an analyst at the RAND Corp. and a consultant on nuclear warfare to the US Defense Dept. His acclaimed autobiography is titled, “Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner.” Ever since his experience with nuclear war planning Ellsberg demanded dismantlement of what he termed the “Doomsday Machine” Enchanted Films showed a movie with Daniel Ellsberg at the August 2023 vigil at Livermore Lab. They assembled many profound and fact filled speeches Ellsberg had given at the gates of Livermore Lab, including two recent Zoom recordings when Covid made being there in person too risky. Here are recording from 2020 and 2021. Thanks to Tri-Valley CAREs and Enchanted Films for recording and preserving the voice of their friend and supporter, Daniel Ellsberg - and sharing with me on TUC. DATES: August 8, 2020 and 2021

WINGS #17-23 Waitress Audio Art

American Dining is an audio project that grew out of The Waitresses, a collaborative performance art group founded in Los Angeles in 1977 by Jerri Allyn and Anne Gauldin. In 1986, an art museum funded Allyn to perform American Dining in restaurants. Audio recordings played on faux jukeboxes, while Allyn performed waitressing along with staff. She toured this piece for 3 years. In 1989, New American Radio commissioned this version. "Drawing from her own experience as a waitress, Allyn creates song-narratives that offer fascinating insights into a world usually unnoticed by customers - the bizarre and very human world of the over-worked waitress. It's a world of men showing off their improvisational genius for sexual word play; of ambiguous relationships to the union; a world where an old and forgotten lady, who once introduced American radio audiences to broccoli is rediscovered. Combining perceptive writing with a skillful delivery, a folksy sound score by Bob Davis of Earwax Productions, and a delightful sense of down-home humor, this work will change your image of American diners and their waitresses forever."

Southwest American History

This time on The Children's Hour, we have a different kind of show. This episode is taken from our six episode educational podcast series called "A Brief History of the American Southwest - For Kids" which was produced through multiple virtual field trips to sites of significance in our high desert of New Mexico. The story begins nearly 23,000 years ago, when people began migrating through, hunting, and living in this part of the world. Fossilized footprints tell the tale of teenagers hunting now-extinct giant sloths, and a mother who sets down her young child for awhile, only to pick her up again. David Bustos from White Sands National Park, Piro-Manso-Tiwa Tribal Preservation Officer Diego Medina relates how his community has always known about the footprints, and archaeologist Mary Weahkee from the New Mexico Center for Archeology describes what life was like back then for these original inhabitants. After nearly 20,000 years, the Chacoan era arrives. We can see today the complexity of Chaco Canyons architecture, engineering, and governance demonstrating the sophistication of the Southwestern cultures. Chaco Culture National Park's interpretive ranger Nathan Hadfield explains what was found in Chaco, who lived there, and what mysteries remain. Then in 1530, uninvited guests arrived in New Mexico in search of the mythical Seven Cities of Gold, confronting the A:shiwi A:wan (Zuni) community with horses, metals, guns, all of which were never before seen in this area. Curtis Quam from the A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center describes what that period was like for the Zuni, and we see the spread of Spanish domination over the Indigenous people throughout the region, with the development of churches built atop existing Pueblos, enslavement of locals, and rule by the Spanish Crown. On August 10, 1680, America had its first successful revolution: the Pueblo Revolt. We learn the story of Po'Pay, the religious leader and runner from Ohkay Owingeh just outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico, organized the entire Pueblo community. In spite of the great distances and different languages spoken by the Puebloan people, Po'Pay set a date for a revolt. Simultaneously, across the entire region the Pueblo people turned against their Spanish rulers, and sent them running back to Mexico. Twenty years later, the Spanish returned with more arms, people, and might and overtook the Puebloan people. It became clear that for survival, there must be peace. We learn how the Spanish King handled doling out the lands of the Southwest to attempt to foster peace. Plus we find out how after hundreds of years, the Spanish and the Puebloan peoples were creating mixed communities, both out of force and choice. We visit a traditional hacienda of this period, Los Luceros, and learn how such a place came to be, and still survives to this day. Finally, we come into the period of time when this area was nationalized by the United States, a fledgling country itself, after the end of the Spanish-American War, and the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Historian Melanie LaBorwit walks us through the rapid changes in infrastructure that was imposed upon the desert southwest, and archeologist Mary Weahkee explains what cultural impact these changes had upon the Indigenous communities now ruled by a new government. This is a radio special based on a 6 part educational curricular podcast series of the same name, and comes with a Learn-Along guide that meets and cites National educational standards. Join us for a walk through history, this time on The Children's Hour! This episode was produced by Executive Producer: Katie Stone, Senior Producer: Christina Stella, with historical review for accuracy from a team of historians, anthropologists, archeologists, tribal historians, and others. Funding was provided in a special grant from the New Mexico Humanities Council, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. 2023 The Children's Hour Inc.

Episode (2023.15.00) Poverty, A Glimpse; (2023.15.01) Wages, work and the Pressures from Poverty; (2023.15.02) From the Vault, Take a Deep Breath

Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2023.15.00 Published August 06th, 2023 Poverty: A Glimpse to the Middle Class from Someone who has Spent 40 years Living Under its Reality Please Donate to keep CWB Alive! Donate to: CashApp $CWBPodcast & Paypal @CWBPodcast 12 Month Goals: 300 at $5 100 at $10 100 at $20 25 at $21+ This is a deeply personal episode segment. Drawing from my personal experience I speak about poverty as an experience that is often unmeasured by statistics or more precisely, as an experience that cannot be measured by statistics because the mirror required to acknowledge the experience is not acquired through the cold scientific artforms but from an empathetic psychology enabling one to intuit from another, in almost a telepathic manner, what the heart is experiencing and what the mind cannot or lacks the capacity to communicate. Using some personal stories, I speak on my 40 years living in poverty. Prepare yourself now because I show little sympathy for people who “got out” when they were in the late teen years or early twenties. I speak of the psychological impact of extended stress as well as what happens when people become dependent on survivalist thinking as well as many other topics. Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2023.15.01 Wages, Work and the Pressures from Poverty that Cripple us Internally and Externally What does Capitalism seek to accomplish? Your choices are limited; but the answer is very easily discernable from the actions of the Capitalists. This is how I began this episode. After taking apart a few conspiracy concepts I move onto speaking about the conspiracy to keep poverty in place in the modern age (along with a question for conservatives about why they don’t investigate that conspiracy). Which pushes me to speak more confrontationally on conspiracy theories.

The episode segments’ central theme surrounds the generational conflict that erupted into sociopolitical activities in the 1960s. Surrounding this theme is the idea that the police state has risen due this generational conflict. I have touched on this idea in an earlier CWB episode (in a 2012 episode); here, though, I draw out the idea more fully. Including speaking about how the institutions, both physical and cultural, enabling the public to discuss Capitalism critically, have been torn down deliberately, leaving no real structure for such criticisms to be debated, discussed, or disseminated (an interesting concept considering this is supposed a land where free speech is one of our most cherished “rights”). I make a bold prediction in this episode, one I hope will either not come true or prove to be overblown. This is truly an episode jam packed with content, I hope you appreciate it as much as I do.
