Mexico's New President's Stands on Trade & Immigration
Dec. 14, 2018, 11:55 a.m.
Mexico "will never be the piñata of any foreign government," AMLO has said. What we know of Mexicoâs New President, Andrés Manuel López Obrador "AMLO" positions on the Renegotiated NAFTA Trade Agreement & Immigration
with
Laura Carlsen, the director of the Americas Policy Programme, Centre for International Policy; she is based in Mexico City.
Andrés Manuel López Obrador , commonly known by the acronym AMLO, took his seat as Mexico's new President on Saturday. However, itâs been four months since AMLO, won Mexicoâs presidential election promising during his run to usher in a "fourth transformation" of Mexico giving us some insight into his relationship to the US on trade and immigration.
Migrants (including women, children, and families) have trekked across Mexico headed towards the US-Mexico border to apply for asylum in the United States. Many have walked over 3,000 km across Mexican territory with only their backpacks, their children, and their chants, fleeing violence and poverty at home. Since the migrants set off, president Trump has tweeted his opposition and threatened both Honduras and Guatemala with sanctions if they were to allow the caravan to cross their borders and has sent the military to the US-Mexican border. And recently the Mexican government responded by sending riot police to the border to prevent the migrants from crossing. The images of black-clad security forces using their shields against mothers and babies were shocking and disturbing. The visibility of the migrant caravan â aided in part by Trumpâs tweets and statements â has forced a discussion on how undocumented migrants are treated in Mexico and what role the country would play in future. In fact, Mexicoâs southern border has seen a steady increase in checkpoints, detention centres, and guards. At times, Mexico has been responsible for deporting more Central American migrants than the United States. However, we donât expect AMLO to pay for Trumpâs wall either - he did publish a book called "Oye, Trump" ("Listen Up, Trump") and he has condemned Trumpâs plans to build a border wall
And, while U.S. relations didnât count as a deciding factor for Mexican voters, the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement "NAFTA" has been a dominant issue during the transition period resulting and has now resulted in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement "USMCA" which an AMLO team participated in negotiating and which Trump called the teamwork "fantastic." And while AMLO said he would work to tackle the poverty in Mexico, where an estimated 44 percent of Mexicans live below the poverty line and 7.6 percent in extreme poverty will the USMCA mean raising wages and create jobs in Mexico? Laura Carlsen will probe the terms of the replacement of NAFTA by the USMCA and discusse whether it represents a confrontation looming on the horizon, as it continues the same economics AMLO professes to oppose.

Out of the Woods - Show #454 - 12-22-18
Dec. 13, 2018, 4:52 a.m.
This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length.
Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Kate MacLeod, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

Jeff Blankfort/NewsOp:Israeli Censors from Rand Paul to GHW Bush
Dec. 12, 2018, 12:46 p.m.
Noting that I devote an inordinate amount of time to criticizing the Israel Lobby I point out that I do so because negative news about the lobby is censored by the US media, including Democracy Now!
I begin with the case of Sen. Rand Paul who for more than two weeks has placed a âholdâ on two pieces of legislation favoring Israel, preventing them being voted on by the Senate where they would be approved overwhelmingly: the act putting into law the $38 billion arms package to Israel and a bill making it a crime punishable with a fine for businesses to boycott Israel. Outside of the Israeli and US Jewish press there has not been a word about this.
Closer to home I report that my local city council rejected my attempt to prevent it from purchasing a Caterpillar back hoe/loader in respect for the international boycott. My casting its decision as a moral one was rejected by a 4-1 vote.
I then review the case of Prof. Marc Lamont Hill who was fired by CNN for mentioning the Palestinian right to use armed struggle against the Israeli occupiers and that âfrom the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,â at a UN event on the 71st anniversary if the UNGA vote partitioning Palestine and the response of the Lobby's watchdogs.
I go from there to another forgotten story (discredit for that goes to Chomsky) about George Herbert Walker Bush standing up to the lobby in 1991 which may have cost him the election when he refused to support Israel's request for $10 billion in loan guarantees.
I finish with a report that the upper house of the Irish legislature had approved a bill, to a standing ovation, making it a crime, punishable by a heavy fine, to import into Ireland, anything from the West Bank's Jewish settlements.
