Speak out against Canada's Colonial Mindset
Jan. 30, 2020, 7:54 a.m.
Phil discusses Niki Ashton in the context of Bernie Sanders. Sanders' success so far comes from the fact that he has been a consistent social-democrat who calls for public programs. Ashton, too, has supported progressive policies. She even criticized Trudeau's disgraceful meeting with Venezuelan golpista Juan Guaido.
The Canadian parliament mostly upholds a distinctly colonial view that if we decide someone is the President of a country, then they become the President. But Ashton spoke firmly against this policy as applied to Guaido.
The colonial mindset also applies to Canada's response to the air tragedy in Iran. "The West" demands the black box recorder from the crashed airliner, even though Iran and Ukraine possess the means to investigate the recording. Meanwhile, "The West" lost the black box from a shot-down Rwandan airliner in 1994 that was pivotal to the trial and investigation of civil war there.

U.S. Boats Sail with the 2020 Freedom Flotilla
Jan. 29, 2020, 6:43 p.m.
US Boats to Gaza is dedicated to continuing sending boats to bring international attention to the illegal Israeli blockade on Gaza.
Kit talks about how she became involved in the campaign for justice in Palestine, with an emphases on the children of Gaza, for whom the Israel blockade is effectively an act of attempted genocide. US and Israeli bullying at the United Nations have worked to squelch that fact, by blocking votes condemning Israeli crimes, and as a result have undermined the rule of International Law and the mission of the United Nations to the detriment of humanity, peace and justice.
Kit lives on the Olympic Peninsula, has been an organic farmer, has two children and does not tolerate injustice well. She has been compelled to speak out against the injustice she witnesses since visiting Gaza with Code Pink, following the Israeli military attack known as Operation Cast Lead.

Neo-colonial power coming to an end in West Asia
Jan. 29, 2020, 10:15 a.m.
Phil and Zafar discuss the largest demonstration in recent Iraqi history that occurred Saturday.
If you listened to Canadian news, you might think that 'hundreds' attended, as 'reported' by CP24. Iran's Press TV, however, covered the demonstration live with helicopters. And the numbers were over a million. The column of protestors was eight kilometres long before they had even finished massing. The demands of the demonstrators included that foreign forces leave Iraq. And the Iraqi Prime-Minister formally asked the US to withdraw its troops.
Why is the US refusing to leave? The Iraqi PM reported that he had traveled to China to sign an agreement for infrastructure projects. In the Iraqi Parliament, the PM also revealed that the US threatened the country and him personally if he didn't cancel the agreement.
It also appears as if things are deteriorating for the empire on multiple fronts. In Afghanistan, the US may be close to signing an agreement with the Taliban to quit the country. The US/NATO/Saudi-backed proxy fighters are steadily losing ground in Syria's Idlib province. Turkey is moving its proxy fighters to Libya and Afghanistan. Houthi fighters in Yemen have extended their reach to Aden in the South, and to the Eastern shores of Yemen.

Sherwin Nuland - "What Is It About Our Species That Allows Us to Learn So Much About Ourselves."
Jan. 29, 2020, 8:28 a.m.
The Wisdom of the Body
From developmental perspectives, both in individuals and in mankind as a whole, the brain, language, and civilization have separated our species from the rest of the animal kingdom. In May of 1997, I discussed these issues with Sherwin Nuland, a professor of Medical History at Yale University Medical School and author of many books, including Wisdom of the Body.
Sherwin Nuland recommends âThe Meaning of Yiddish,â by Benjamin Harshav.

Shoshana Zuboff: Surveillance Capitalism and Democracy Part ONE of TWO
Jan. 28, 2020, 8:49 p.m.
Shoshana Zuboff is the author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. She reveals a world in which technology users are the raw material for new procedures of manufacturing and sales that define an entirely new economic order: a surveillance economy.
Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything wrote: âFrom the very first page I was consumed with an overwhelming imperative: everyone needs to read this book as an act of digital self defense.â
Robert Reich, author of Saving Capitalism for the Many, Not the Few wrote: Shoshana Zuboffâs ⦠âsweeping analysis demonstrates the unprecedented challenge to human autonomy, social solidarity, and democracy by this rogue (surveillance) capitalism.â
In the late 1990s TUC Radioâs studio was still located in the northeastern Mission industrial zone in San Francisco. Around me the dot com boom - beginning in 1995 - brought internet based companies from Silicon Valley to the neighborhood - pricing out the spanish speaking communities. Then, as I had found a new home for TUC Radio the dot com bubble burst in 2001. The new internet based companies had not yet learned how to make money with the many free services they were offering.
But those who did survive, the Googles and FaceBooks etc. soon found out how to make money out of surveillance of the users and showed unprecedented rates of profit. Shoshana Zuboff begins her talk in Berlin, on November 6, 2019, by describing how it was done.
Shoshana Zuboff is Professor Emerita at Harvard Business School.
