Jeff Blankfort News/Op: Gaza, Rand Paul, Airbnb, Assange

I begin my comparing the situation at the US-Mexico border with that of the Gazans and Israel and note that US foreign policy has been responsible for both. I speak briefly of Gaza ceasefire and failure of ultra Zionist Jewish Home party which opposed it to force new elections. I then turn to Sen, Rand Paul's hold on bringing the $38 billion US arms to Israel act to a Senate vote which the media has ignored and the lobbying by AIPAC and Christian Zionists to pressure Paul to release his hold. Unless he does there can be no vote on the act. I go from that to Airbnb's decision ahead of Human Rights Watch criticism to delist rentals in the West Bank and efforts, legal and ministerial to get Airbnb to back down. If it doesn't this will represent the most important victory yet for the BDS movement. I then quote from essay in Time by Vietnamese-American Viet Tranh Nyguen on racism, war and intervention being an indelible pattern in US history and conclude with a report on the threatened status of Julian Assange in the UK Ecuadoran Embassy after new president, Lenin Moreno, removes ambassador friendly to Assange. I end by suggesting that how people respond to the prosecution of Assange will be a moment of truth.

Ellinger, Jim- What is Community Radio

Community Radio is one of the most personal forms of radio.  It exists world-wide and provides basic information in times of crises and normalcy.  Jim Ellinger, of Austin Airwaves (http://austinairwaves.blogspot.com/), is our guest in this edition of Radio Curious. He is known for his lifelong fascination with the medium of radio. In describing Austin Airwaves Ellinger wrote:  It is an independent community media group based in Austin, TX. In recent years it has been most involved in establishing and developing community-based FM radio stations, both low and full power. Increasingly these stations have been in developing nations including Haiti, Borneo, Panama, Mozambique, and most-recently Cameroon, as well as in post-disaster communities in the United States, including New Orleans and Houston, post-Katrina and Wimberley, Texas, after a deadly flood.  As is revealed on Ellinger’s website, austinairwaves.blogspot.com, he now “spends much of his time and effort assisting a variety of media, co-op and business groups around the world. Ellinger has visited more than 100 cities in 25 countries and territories since 9/11.” He is an international leader in emergency broadcasting technology for disaster management.  When Jim Ellinger visited with Radio Curious by phone from his home in Austin, Texas, he began by telling the story of when he first became involved with radio.  The book Jim Ellinger recommends is “The Man Who Planted Trees: A Story of Lost Groves, the Science of Trees, and a Plan to Save the Planet,” by Jim Robbins. This program was recorded on November 17, 2018.

America Was Never Great: Slavery, Neo-Slavery and the Continuing Savage Oppression of Black People in the "Free-est Country in the World"!

Douglas Blackmon, author, Slavery by Another Name, reveals a stunning portrait of post Civil War neo-slavery where Black Americans were re-enslaved throughout the South on farms and in factories up until World War 2; Bob Avakian, chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, digs into just how endemic the oppression of Black people is to American capitalism and democracy and sharply poses the question: What kind of society, what kind of system, is this?

Mark Schapiro: Reaping What You Sow

There's no time better than after a holiday of feasting to remember where we get our food. Ultimately, most of our complex recipes begin with the simple seed. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to author and environmental journalist Mark Schapiro to discuss the current state of agribusiness and his book Seeds of Resistance. We take a look back at his last book, Carbon Shock, to see how it has weathered the past five years of increased climate change-related events, discuss the unlikely feud over corn nuts and examine some of the valuable work of leading seed advocates around the globe.

Paul Stamets: Mushrooms, Bees, and Saving the World, 2018

As forests burn across the US and misguided attempts to prevent fires by clear-cutting or raking the forest floor are being proposed, TUC Radio remembers the mycologist and author Paul Stamets. He is calling attention to the fact that old growth forests contain organisms that can heal us, feed us, or kill us. More than any other scientist practicing today, Paul Stamets has dedicated himself to the life of fungi and that of their underground support system, the mycelium. Stamets says that the mycelia are soil magicians. They give rise not just to mushrooms but form an integral part of the forest ecosystem. The mycelia are disassemblers, creating the debris fields that then feed their fungal descendants. They also show purpose in choosing microbial allies, and Stamets believes they are part of the earth’s natural internet that is in constant bio-molecular communication, governing the ecosystem. Paul Stamets has studied mushrooms for over 40 years. He discovered new species of fungi, saved ancient ones from extinction, and pioneered countless techniques of mushroom cultivation. Along the way he found many ways how fungi can be healers of people and the environment. His premise is that that mushroom mycelium connects the immune systems between humans and environment - and that premise has been proven many times in his collaborations with scientific institutions and labs. Paul Stamets is a frequent guest at the Bioneer conferences and at TED talks. But the so-called conventional scientists appreciate his work as well. That includes medical research into cancer as well as the University of Illinois-Chicago's Institute for Tuberculosis Research and the Department of Health and Human Services' biodefense program.

A Queer November Remembered!

This week we observe the 40th anniversary of the 1978 “Queer November to Remember” – the first victory by US equality forces over an anti-LGBTQ ballot measure after a wave of defeats … followed less than three weeks later by the shocking assassination of one of the country’s first openly gay elected officials. Those events did not happen in a vacuum: during the first few years after the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion in New York City, hundreds of “Gay Liberation” groups formed across the US ... And by 1976, some had successfully promoted local anti-discrimination ordinances with little resistance. But then along came a former beauty queen and pop singer whose main gig at the time was pushing Florida Orange Juice ... as This Way Out’s Greg Gordon recalls...

Regret This Very Day, Vol. V

The Mind's Ear Program #37: "Regret This Very Day, Volume V" On November 18th, 1978 (40 years ago today), 918 people perished in what has come to be known as "The Jonestown Massacre". "Regret This Very Day: Volume V" documents the tragic end of The Peoples Temple. When events are recorded, they are preserved for posterity much like fossils in a museum. In listening to recordings from the past, we can relive the events they captured in a spectral way--as a set of invisible ghost ears that can observe the events as they unfolded, but not alter them in any way. In Guyana, Jim Jones had a hand-painted sign hung above his rostrum which read: "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it". This program was produced in remembrance of the past.
