Illegal Rendition of Paul Rusesabagina

Reports from Rwanda of the second court appearance of Paul Rusesabagina reveal an old pattern of presenting an accused as being already-guilty. Rusesabagina appeared in pink prison garb, and his head had been shaved. So much for the presumption of innocence. And the purpose of shaving the head is to humiliate an individual who has earned the respect of people around the world. Whatever transpires in the Rwandan court, the question must be asked: why have the U.S. and Belgium, where Paul was recognized and praised, now begun to "look the other way?"

Sonic Café with music from Dope Lemon, hey welcome I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 207. This time the Sonic Café features some of our favorite alternative and indie rock bands.

So ahh, listen for Dinosaur Jr., New Order, TV On The Radio, Twenty One Pilots, Death Cab for Cutie, Jimmy Eat World and of course more. Then later the Sonic Café brings you stand-up comedy. Listen for Saturday Night Lives’ Colin Jost with some interesting observations about New Yorkers and living in New York. Oh and prairie sized welcome to our latest sponsor. Listen for a message from the Corn Syrup Producers of America who stress how important it is to have as much high fructose corn syrup in your daily diet as possible. All that and some other neat stuff too just ahead from our little café overlooking the big blue Pacific ocean, we’re the Sonic Café.

Do We Really Know the People Around Us?

Radio Curious revisits a conversation with Mary Catherine Bateson, author of "“Full Circles: Overlapping Lives, Culture and Generation in Transition.Do we really know the people around us? Our children? Our family? Our friends? Or are we strangers in our own community? Mary Catherine Bateson, the author of a book entitled, “Full Circles: Overlapping Lives, Culture and Generation in Transition,” believes that we are strangers. She describes us as immigrants in time, rather than space.In this interview from the archives of Radio Curious, recorded in April 2000, we visit with Mary Catherine Bateson, the daughter of two distinguished anthropologists, Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson. The book Mary Catherine Bateson recommends is “Ithaka: A Daughter's Memoir of Being Found,“ by Sarah Saffian. Originally Broadcast: April 17, 2000.

Donald Drumpf Theatre Volume 194 Steal The Election

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.

The War Before the War

Referencing Ulrich Teusch's book, "The War Before the War," Phil takes us on a journey about how we are being lied into another war, this time with the 1.4 billion people of the People's Republic of China. As is so common today, there is no discussion among our "elected representatives." Canada simply follows U.S. policy. The self-appointed "exceptional nation," the U.S., finds that it can no longer compete with Chinese business, and therefore seeks to suppress a sovereign country. America is ramping up its trade war, and broadcasts an avalanche of poorly-substantiated propaganda about China's Western region that does not hold up to scrutiny. Make no mistake: this is "pre-war propaganda." Trump is back to calling COVID the "China Virus," which endangers the lives of Asian citizens in the Anglo countries. We're asked to be suspicious of Chinese students, diplomats, and businesses. This is a political virus. It is contingent on you as a citizen to find out what China's government is saying. They don't believe in a hegemonic power. They believe in the United Nations and international trade. We need to avoid the U.S.'s "zero-sum game." If there is to be a peace movement in Canada, it must go directly to the decision of the U.S. and Five Eyes allies to create a problem that is outside the sphere of the United Nations Security Council - to act as if they have a privileged space as white Anglo-Saxon countries to make rules for themselves, and to create political havoc. As Danny Haiphong and others have noted, we have a phenomenon where people who think that they are anti-war try to find a "middle way" between what America and what China are saying. But the U.S. is looking for trouble, and says it is looking for trouble, with the great nation of China. That is problem #1, and comes before what somebody is saying about 'human rights issues.' We are facing pre-war propaganda, and we have to confront it and defeat it.

Fast Food World - TUC personal archive - One of Two

In the seventh month of Covid, September 2020, life for so many is coming into focus around the essentials - Home and Food. Including my home, threatened by the California fires, and my tiny garden with tomatoes and peppers. Meanwhile the whole world is bursting in with Covid news. And a conversation is beginning about how bes to rebuild the food web when Covid ends. For me this brings back memories of an extraordinary on-stage conversation at UC Berkeley at the end of November 2003. The hall filled to capacity long before the beginning of the event. Who would have thought that a simple title such as “Fast Food World” would draw over 700 people. In the end those, who were lucky to get in, realized that a humble hamburger and a fizzy soda have global causes and consequences in industry and culture and survival of farmers and farm-land. They also made for an intriguing conversation on stage ranging from Kentucky to India and Italy to Berkeley. When statistics come up in this radio program keep in mind that this was the year 2003. But also that cost and price of corn for farmers is still, in 2020, determined by subsidies, the obesity epidemic in the US has only grown, and you also have to pay almost $5 for a salad at a fast food joint where a hamburger is also only one dollar. The three speaker are: Wendell Berry
Farmer and author of The Unsettling of America and Citizenship Papers Carlo Petrini
President and Founder, Slow Food International Michael Pollan
Contributing writer, New York Times Magazine and professor, UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism Come back for Part TWO with the Indian physicist and seed collector, Vandana Shiva and Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation. That was the first of two parts of excerpts from a 90 minute recording by Maria Gilardin with the UC Berkeley School of Journalism on November 24, 2003.

Lee van der Voo: As The World Burns

A few years ago, we discussed a high profile case, Juliana v. U.S., brought by 21 remarkable young plaintiffs across the country. The plaintiffs, most of whom were children when the case was first filed, essentially argued that their government had a legal obligation to protect them from the effects of climate change, an obligation they were failing to meet. This week on Sea Change Radio, we get an update on the lawsuit from journalist Lee van der Voo who has chronicled the case in her new book, As The World Burns. Then we dig into the Sea Change Radio archives and hear a bit from our 2017 conversation with Philip Gregory, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs in the Juliana case.

Resisting campus censorship: Lara Friedman, Peter Beinart, and Dimi Khalidi

Israel is spending millions of dollars to squash campus organizing and campus educational programs that challenge the fraudulent Israeli narrative. Criticism of Israel is labeled anti-Semitic, and that trope triggers a reflexive response to once again make Israel the victim rather than the aggressor. The fact that the Lobby has the US government in its pocket is not exactly news. This week we examine the work of the Palestinian grassroots uprising which is challenging Israel's outrageous military occupation. We feature a recording of a webinar sponsored by The Foundation for Middle East Peace featuring its director, Lara Friedman, and its non resident Fellow, Peter Beinart, discussing campus censorship with Dimi Khalidi of Palestine Legal.

Misinformation From the Mass Media

In this brief commentary, Phil Taylor indicates that the United Nations did not, in fact, condemn Venezuela. Journalists who "reported" this "story" did not investigate the issue, and are performing their function of misleading the public. Anyone who wants to get accurate information about foreign affairs better roll up their sleeves and get digging, because it isn't going to be provided to you by the for-profit media.

Free Palestine! No Normalization with Colonization or Occupation

Audio from a webinar sponsored by Workers World Party. Description: Join us Friday, September 18, 2021 as part of the globally coordinated actions from September 18-26 defending Palestinian refugees' right to return to their homes and lands throughout Palestine, reclaim their properties and ensure restitution and reparations. These days of action will mark the commemoration of the Sabra and Shatila massacres, the September 1970 massacres in Jordan, the signing of the Oslo agreements and the continuing attacks, including the current farce touted as a peace initiative, against the rights and struggle of Palestinian refugees for return and liberation. All of these U.S. supported efforts promote militarism and delay the potential for true peace in the region–peace based on justice and human dignity. A statement signed by more than 50 organizations raised international solidarity with the demand: No Normalization with Occupation and Colonization. This webinar will discuss the ongoing struggles of the Palestinian people and how we can build solidarity together for the liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea. Featuring (In order of first appearance): Ted Kelly - An organizer with Workers World Party and active in Solidarity with the Palestinian Struggle Charlotte Kates - International Coordinator of Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network and organizer with the US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel and Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition Susan Abulhawa - Palestinian novelist, poet, and member of WWP and US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel Khaled Barakat - Palestinian writer and activist whose work in Arabic and English has been widely published in a number of outlets, International Coordinator of the Campaign to Free Ahmad Sa'adat

Episode 2020.09. The Anti-Trump RNC Dog Whistling & 2020.09.01. The Democratic Party's Strategy

Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2020.09 The Anti-Trump RNC Dog Whistling in the DNC who Dog Whistles the World with Economic Gusto If you blow a dog whistle what do you expect to come towards you, a pig, a duck, a cat – no, you blow a dog whistle expecting a dog to follow shortly after your call. Why then, do politicians who have dog whistled for the past 40 years seem utterly surprised, and dare I say frightened, of the dogs who have emerged from the darkest shadowy places throughout this land? Why then, do the politicians, who 25 years ago were considered stars in the Republican party because they more conservative – meaning corporatist – than the moderate conservatives who really believed in non-intrusive non-authoritarian government; why do these politicians act surprised by the callous predatory nature innate in those people they have stoked with their whistling habits. Where they not calling the most despotic tendencies in this society to the surface of those they were whistling to? Where they not feeding beasts when they tossed “red meat” to the masses? Where they not speaking to the baser elements in the human mind when they spoke about fascist ideas without calling them such? Yes they were, now the monsters they have created are running wild and those politicians who help bring them into existence, are looking around innocently wondering where they came from. Don’t run ole Republican, stay here to witness what you have brought into reality. Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2020.09.01 The Democratic Party's Strategy to Win Threatens Progressive Priorities Going Forward The Democratic Party’s attempts to win back the suburbs, essentially the disaffected voters who left the party in 2016 and – wait for it – 1980, is troubling. With a generational insurgency bubbling up from the grassroots, their attempt to rush away from the left-populist and social democratic yearnings expressed by these future administrators of the country, threatens the more progressive agenda envisioned by the most vocal members inside this group. The writing is on the wall, you can see it in the recent challengers who are taking on the Party machine operators, the Main Street everyman will not be silenced any longer. Yet, the party Elders refuse to acknowledge this burgeoning call – instead resorting to tried and falsified methods for gaining support, methods that include using a vast media apparatus to smear their more populist leaning opponents. In this episode I discuss the implications and potential consequences which will arise from this intergenerational conflict, one with huge political ramifications – one, which Mark Blythe aptly remarked, won’t end in the previous generations wishes being granted, but with the newer ones being instilled. The question I wonder (is) how costly will the conflict become before those who created the mess will finally let us clean it up. If you have any questions, comments or concerns please contact me at vphiamer.adis.ogaarwa@outlook.com

Bold Policies for Economic Justice & Against Ethnic Inequality with Prof. William Darity

Bold Policies for Economic Justice & Against Ethnic Inequality with Prof. William Darity In the midst of two viruses that are disproportionately shattering Black and Brown communities and wreaking havoc on the working class: Covid-19 and racist policing. were looking for bold policies to achieve economic justice and to think this through with us is William Darity, Professor of Public Policy, African and African American Studies, and Economics and the director of the DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity at Duke University. Prof. Darity has served as chair of the Department of African and African American Studies and was the founding director of the Research Network on Racial and Ethnic Inequality at Duke and reminds that when slavery ended, the disenfranchisement of African Americans did not. Discrimination continued in jobs, housing, education " barriers that have contributed to the staggering economic inequality that persists in the country today and consequentially makes the case for reparations as an answer to closing the racial wealth gap.
