#578 -- Chris Hedges: The Algebra of Revolution, Part 1 (R)

A hard-hitting speech from 2016 by journalist/essayist Hedges. It's about the corruption of The System... the increasing power of "the one percent"... the betrayal of the people by the Democratic and Republican parties... the century-long crackdown on dissent... and our increasingly meaningless national politics, in which our real and pressing problems (climate change, oligarchy, a plundered economy) are seldom even mentioned--let alone debated, let alone put to a vote. (Cont'd under "Credits.")

Ahmed Abu Artema, a founder of Gaza's Great March of Return

The Great March of Return continues in Gaza, as does the slaughter by the Israeli snipers who openly shoot at protesters walking toward the wall that imprisons them in Gaza. Several of the protestors have died, but mostly the snipers shoot to maim, aiming at feet and legs. Imagine the barbarity of a nation which imprisons Gazans behind a huge wall, to have its soldiers shoot unarmed Gazan protestors when they get too close to that precious wall! Today we will hear Ahmed Abu Artema, a founder of the Great March of Return. But first we hear an excerpt from an article by Jen Marlow, a journalist who writes in Mondoweiss describing her experience on one of these historic marches to the wall. From the article, it becomes clear that the Gazan protestors are among the bravest and most heroic people that the world has ever produced. Finally, we hear from our main speaker, who spoke recently at Harvard Law School. Ahmed Abu Artema is a Palestinian journalist and peace activist, now on tour in the US. He is the author of the book "Organized Chaos" and numerous articles. He is a refugee from Al Ramla village in Palestine. Here is Ahmed Abu Artema, with introductory statements from the moderator, Amahl Bishara, professor at Tufts University.

Paul Street - Reflections on the Authoritarian Absurdity of the U.S. Constitution

Paul Street, historian and political analyst, reflects on the all-too-rarely noted problem that the United States is authoritarian by constitutional design. The U.S. Constitution is held up as the sacred document protecting the "Peoples" Rights, yet invariably it is the right of property and those who have too much of it who are protected against calls for equity and justice. U.S. politics and policy are poisoned beyond all democratic recognition, he says, by an explicitly anti-egalitarian charter drafted and passed by 18th Century slaveholders and merchant capitalists for whom popular sovereignty was the ultimate nightmare. Street details how U.S. politics and policy are badly distorted by the nation's exceptionally durable charter and how we might finally and productively stop playing "Simon Says" with militant anti-democrats like Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. His is a timely analysis to understand why both the Congress and the Supreme Court continue to side with the property rights of the corporations who poison our food, profit from our abuse at their hands, and push the Earth's climate to existential extremes with their aggressive efforts to continue exploitation of fossil carbon.

NY Nurses Protest Threatens Strike for Safe Staffing for Patients

Its a Matter of Life and Death: Thousands of New York Nurses Take to the Street In Threat of Major Strike Over Horrendous Working Conditions Which Seriously Impedes Patient Care with Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, RN , NYSNA President, Montefiore Medical Center and Karine Raymond, RN NYSNA .Second Vice President, Montefiore Medical Center The 42,000 strong members of the New York State Nurses Association have been fighting for safe staffing, to keep hospitals open for care, to stop the Wall Street attack on their patients, and win healthcare for all. Now, after years of complaints, understaffing has become the major point of conflict between the nurses union and private hospitals in New York City, as the nurses insist that it seriously impedes their providing the adequate care that their patients deserve. As such, 13,000 nurses could strike this month if their negotiations fail with a group of three major hospital systems, union leaders say. Nurses from Montefiore, Mount Sinai, St. Luke's-Mount Sinai West, and New York-Presbyterian hospitals authorized a strike last week. Were saying enough is enough, said Carl Ginsburg, a spokesperson for the union. On the bargaining table is an increase in nurse-to-patient ratios in emergency rooms and intensive care units. Staffing levels have reached dangerously low levels, putting the safety of both nurses and patients at risk, Ginsburg said. Sometimes where a nurse should be caring for five patients, shes caring for eight or 10, said Ginsburg. Make no mistake " its dangerous. Safe staffing is about saving lives.

Mystery History Theater - 4

Skipping ahead just a bit, what’s being scrutinized in this audio is an article--"Did Stanton Plan Lincoln's Murder?"--that appeared in Civil War Times, the August 1961 issue, Vol. 3 No. 5, in which then-editor Robert H. Fowler relates the findings of Ray Neff, one of the co-authors of “Dark Union,” with regard to Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton’s possible involvement in the murder of Abraham Lincoln. Neff relies heavily on National Detective Police head Lafayette C. Baker’s revelations written in cipher as to the personages behind the assassination. Baker thought himself a target of the henchmen (the clean-up crew) most likely serving at the behest of high-placed Northern power brokers. Unfortunately, Baker was correct as his demise added to the curious body count of those with inside knowledge of the circumstances and principals in and around the killing of the President. Sound familiar?
