TBR 200717 — Snake Charmers 2X
July 17, 2020, 2:26 a.m.
This weekâs archive radio show starts off by reporting on the current situation in the world this week. (It is dire.) (Surprise, surprise.) We then make an emotional appeal, we reveal the ideology of the lemming, we compare heroin to alcohol, we advocate rebranding âclimate changeâ from âclimate changeâ into âclimate catastropheâ and we advocate rebranding âregulationsâ into âprotectionsâ (amongst other things). Next, we reveal a resource for researching the actual people who actually run the people who are pretending that they are actually running our world. Then, finally, for the feature piece this week we ponder the phenomenon of Indian snake charmers â and upon what kind of activist lessons might be gleaned from them.
At the Thunderbolt â weâre likely to stir fry your brain in gunpowder and then light a fuse. Listen at your own riskâ¦

Jonathan Harr - Toxic Water, A Book
July 16, 2020, 7:25 a.m.
A Civil Action
Water, a necessary element to our survival is expected to be pure, safe and clean when it comes into our home. When it is polluted, the results can be extreme. The people in the town of Woburn, Massachusetts, just west of Boston, had an unusually high rate of cancer in the early 1970s. The townâs water was contaminated with industrial pollutants. Several children and adults became very sick and some died. Their families sued the polluters in the U.S. Federal Court. Jonathan Harr, a non-fiction writer, followed the process and wrote a book telling the story of what happened. He called it, âA Civil Action.â A movie, also called âA Civil Action,â was based on the book and released at the end of 1998. I spoke by phone with Jonathan Harr, from his home in Massachusetts, a month after the movie was released and asked him how he was able to capture what occurred and create âA Civil Action.â

Donald Drumpf Theatre Volume 183 15 Days
July 15, 2020, 8:50 p.m.
An original radio theatre show each week, with most sounds culled from the previous week, about a fictional, theatrical presidency. Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines. The definition of "radio theatre" is stretched here, with an updated Dickie Goodman and/or Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style sometimes, and a more straightforward take other weeks. Currently airing on 30 or 40 stations around the world, the network has ordered another five months of episodes. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.

Mark Clements - Torture, Racism, Politics and the Chicago Police Union
July 15, 2020, 7:14 a.m.
Wide ranging interview with Mark Clements, Chicago police torture survivor, one of the first juvenileâs sentenced to natural life without parole in the state of Illinois and incarcerated for 28 years before his conviction was overturned in 2009.
While some people would think it extreme to refer to the Chicago Police Department as "Murder Incorporated" a survey of its tolerance for dishonest cops and racist injustice that normalized for decades police killings, false charges and perjured testimony, winked at by Chicago officials, supports the characterization.
The Stop Police Crimes campaign and ongoing demonstrations following George Floyd's murder have witnessed a sea change in outrage driven protest at the too long ignored white supremacist structural injustice at the core of the business model which the police are used to protect.

Yanis Varoufakis: The Combination That Changed Capitalism Forever
July 14, 2020, 2:40 p.m.
On July second, 2020, the economist and former Finance Minister of Greece, Yanis Varoufakis, gave a webinar on how the current collapse of the world economy might change capitalism forever by challenging the survival of private banking and the functioning of the stock exchange.
Varoufakisâ thesis reminded me of a headline in the Sept. 2019 New Yorker from Bill McKibbens divestment campaign. It said: Money Is the Oxygen on Which the Fire of Global Warming Burns. What would it be like to abandon not just a particular investment by a bank but the whole banking system?
Rob Johnson, President of INET, the Institute for New Economic Thinking, moderated the talk.
Yanis Varoufakis is a philosopher and teacher of economics University of Cambridge and the University of Texas at Austin. Together with Bernie Sanders he co-founded the Progressive International, n international organization uniting progressive left-wing activists and organizations.
