Ilan Pappe faces down the opposition at the Cleveland Forum
Dec. 9, 2019, 8:32 p.m.
Today we feature Israeli historian Ilan Pappé speaking at the Cleveland Forum in Cleveland, Ohio. When it was announced that Pappé would be speaking at the Forum, the Israeli lobby went to work to discredit him, going so far as to call him âanti-semiticâ and a âself-hating Jewâ for the seminal work he has done to document, among other things, the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population by the Israeli military in 1948. We are running Pappéâs full presentation, including the introduction, which speaks to the pressure the Forum was under to cancel Pappé, as well as the Q and A which he so masterfully handled in the face of this hostility.

Commentary on Syria, Hong Kong
Dec. 9, 2019, 3:53 p.m.
Phil Taylor and Phil Conlon discuss the important issue of the censoring of a recent interview with Syria's President Assad. They also reflect on Vanessa Beeley's tour of Canada.

Phyllis Bennis presents a historical review of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict
Dec. 8, 2019, 8:57 p.m.
Bennis minces no words in this genuinely historical review, starting BEFORE the 1917 Balfour Declaration and running to the shameful present. She points out that USA support for the formation of Israel was fueled by antisemitism, including turning away ships loaded with Jewish refugees during the Hitler era. She describes the USA's fraudulent role as mediator of the "peace process" and its disastrous effects on Palestinians' struggle to survive. Bennis is a fellow of the Institute for Policy Studies and author of numerous important books and articles. To learn more, go to https://ips-dc.org/ips-authors/phyllis-bennis/ .
Episode 2019.09. The Ten Conservative Principles and Family Values
Dec. 8, 2019, 4:07 p.m.
In todayâs episode I read through Russell Kirkâs ten Conservative Principles, commenting on them as I do. Youâll be surprised to learn which ones I agree with and which ones I find woefully misleading or poorly explained (if youâve been listening to this show for any length of time, you may not be surprised). I then delve into the idea that capitalism as currently structured can protect or nurture families by creating free market solutions to promote family expansion and growth. I argue Capitalism, especially free market Capitalism dismantles families.

Dec. 8, 2019, 3:48 p.m.
An eclectic collection of interviews and odd news designed to entertain
Commentary on international affairs
Dec. 8, 2019, 3:09 p.m.
Phil discusses various subjects, including Harry Belafonte, the election at the OFL, opposition to Canada's support for the coup in Bolivia at Durham Labour Council, and Syria's resistance to Washington's hegemony. The concept of 'humanitarian intervention' has endangered us all.
The rich and powerful tell us that we have to 'do something' in Syria and other places, and we are stampeded before there is a discussion. This is especially dangerous at a time when Canada is increasingly punching outside of its weight-class. The confrontation with China is a case-in-point.
#614 -- Let Your Life Be a Friction to Stop the Machine (R)
Dec. 8, 2019, 2:46 p.m.
A video essay on America's current problems. A wide-ranging but concise critique of how America is run by a financial and corporatist elite. It's also about how our national myths (e.g., American Exceptionalism) are used to sugar-coat and justify imperial war abroad, political repression at home, and economic exploitation everywhere.
Beneath the piece's Doomsday tone and style is a cogent, left-of-center critique of our current system.

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 10 episodes, but there are threats of impending cancellation. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.

Movement for Community Control Of Police - Situation Report Chicago
Dec. 5, 2019, 11:34 a.m.
Human Rights Rally ahead of the refounding conference of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression in Chicago.
Chicago is the fulcrum of a movement to bring racist policing to heel; to end police impunity and to implement democratic community control; the who, the what and how police interface with people in their communities and to plan for abolition. In Chicago the campaign is called CPAC, Civilian Police Accountability Council. With its roots in 1619 when people transported in chains to labor in the US were organizing to be free of those chains, as their decedents today fight to end
the crimes committed by racist police on themselves and community, in their demand to exercise their democratic right to control over the policing of their communities and an end to police impunity.
The CPAC movement has changed the political landscape in Chicago. Following the last election, 40% of the Chicago City Council support the Ordinance that would implement it.The coalition behind it has won historic gains for survivors of police torture and judicial complicity, both at the city and State level. It forced the system to charge and prosecute the cop who murdered teenager Laquan McDonald in spite of the smears and political bullying of the racist Fraternal Order of Police.
While no person has yet to be prosecuted for the FBI directed, Chicago police department staffed assignation of Black Panther Fred Hampton just 50 years ago this December, Chicago's real estate, investor and political elites would like people to forget their complicity in that past act of State terrorism that protected their class and financial perks, but as expressed at this rally and the conference that followed, that's not gonna happen.
