#547 -- Howard Zinn: The Power to Change (2)
Aug. 24, 2018, 7:06 a.m.
A fine talk by Progressive historian Howard Zinn (d. 2010), delivered in 2008. It deals with key themes in Zinn's writing (and social activism): social justice, war, economic power, the anti-democratic behavior of governments (including ours), propaganda, and the power of the people to organize and compel justice.
Part Two (this week) focuses on this country's extravagant military expenditures and "absurd" wars. . . .

Leila Farsakh and Nancy Murray address Balfour's consequences at age 100
Aug. 23, 2018, 2:16 p.m.
This is the last of five consecutive shows covering the full-day conference "Balfourâs Legacy: Confronting the Consequences," held on November 11, 2017 at the First Parish Church in Cambridge MA. (The same five shows were originally aired last fall, but in different order.)
Long celebrated by Zionists and condemned by justice activists, the so-called Balfour Declaration, 100 years ago, is credited with setting in motion the creation of the state of Israel on Palestinian land ... without consulting Palestinians. On paper, it was a 67-word letter signed in 1917 by Lord Arthur Balfour, then Britain's Foreign Secretary, who made no effort to conceal his racist and antisemitic views.
We'll hear Leila Farsakh, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, also a senior research fellow at Birzeit University in the West Bank of Palestine. Leila gives her Introduction and Overview of 100 years of the Balfour Declaration.
Then we'll hear Nancy Murray, longtime activist for Palestinian Rights, a co-founder of the Gaza Mental Health Foundation, and a key organizer of this Balfour Legacy Conference. Nancy speaks on the Consequences of the Balfour Declaration ... specifically for the USA.
Before this, we take a look at the last fall's emerging story involving the confession of Former US National Security Advisor Michael Flynn to lying to the FBI about efforts of the incoming Trump Administration to help Israel avoid censure at the UN Security Council concerning its illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land. The mainstream media is handling this as a story involving Flynnâs collusion with the Russians, but you hear or read little about the fact that much of this involvement is at the behest of Israel. As usual, the media is quick to blame the Russians, and slow to include Israelâs heavy-handed involvement. We'll read Ali Abunimah's exposé of this in Electronic Intifada, and later an article on the same subject by Richard Silverstein in Middle East Eye.

Out of the Woods - Show #438 - 9-1-18
Aug. 23, 2018, 4:58 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

Tyler Cullis Examines & Explains Iran Sanctions
Aug. 22, 2018, 11:59 a.m.
Tyler Cullis is a international sanctions specialist in practice in Washington and is a legal fellow with the National Iranian American Council. In this program he offers his opinions as to who is behind the re-imposition of sanctions on Iran and why, beginning with the influence of pro-Israel organizations and now allied with the Saudis. He questions the viewing of Iran as a threat by the US and the Trump administration, putting its position in the region and vis a vis the US in perspective.
He explains the differences between primary and secondary sanctions which target countries and companies that seek to do business with sanctioned country, in this case, Iran, and how the response by Europe to the newly reimposed sanctions differs from its response to similar secondary sanctions when they were imposed under Obama. Whereas under Obama, Europe followed Washington's lead in supporting them, this time, following the withdrawal of Trump from the joint nuclear agreement against their wishes, they have been fighting back, to the best extend they can, by threatening to punish companies that comply with the sanctions which is replete with challenges and not only because the Europeans seem to be in a weakened condition at the moment.
He notes that November will bring a critical moment when Iran's oil industry is sanctioned but points out that China, a major purchaser of Iranian oil has come up with a way to go around it. What India, Japan and South Korea, all purchasers of Iranian oil, will do remains to be seen. He also discusses the problems that will involve SWIFT, the European based organization which facilitates the movement of money for the world's banks. A very enlightening half hour plus on a very important subject.
Jeff Blankfort:News/Op:US/Israel Gear for Iran War
Aug. 22, 2018, 11:34 a.m.
I begin by pointing out the fact that the US has not experienced war as being a problem for the rest of the planet since today's Americans are indifferent to what the US does to other peoples. Following 65th anniversary of US backed overthrow of Iranian government, I speak of reimposed sanctions but then go on to latest step in US/Israel regime change plot with appointment of hawk Brian Hook to coordinate economic pressure on Iran which Hook says will hurt its funding of the Houthis, support for Assad and Hezbollah.
I then play a 1:24 clip from talk by Washington Inst. For NE Policy's Patrick Clawson from 2012, acknowledging US covert action against Iran and hinting at desirability of a false flag op.
I go from there to John Bolton's trip to Israel where he is welcomes and revered and his meetings with Pres. Rivlin and Def. Min, Avigodor Liberman who uses possessive âWeâ to describe Israel's control of the White House, followed by the quote from Netanyahu in 2001 that the US is easy to move around.
I then report on the election victories of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar and how their comments on Israel and Palestine and the reaction to them revealed that in the year of women running and getting elected, some things stay the same.
