Out of the Woods - Show #426 - 6-9-18
May 31, 2018, 9:43 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

War with Iran. Not a day passes that we do not hear our media pundits speculate on this possible disaster. Unfortunately, they have good reason. President Trump is reneging on the Obama signed nuclear treaty with Iran (so much for honoring our word on treaties), and the constant undercurrent is that we are doing this at the behest of Israel.
Today's speeches were delivered in March 2018 at a conference put together by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Two months after this, Israeli soldiers followed their leaders' commands to shoot thousands of nonviolent Palestinian protesters inside Gaza, killing 60+ and injuring thousands.
First, Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson provides support for the argument that Israel is pushing for an attack of Iran. Second, activist Law professor Noura Erakat addresses the rich topic of Israelâs violations of International Law. We include introductions of both speakers.

Rafael Mandelman: Inner City Blues
May 29, 2018, 7:45 p.m.
Futurists, environmentalists and planners alike generally believe that humans living in more densely populated areas has benefits for the earth â city-living is just a much more efficient use of the planetâs resources. But cities also expose a societyâs inequality. Some of the worldâs wealthiest cities are plagued by abundant homelessness and have deep pockets of persistent poverty. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to Rafael Mandelman, a local San Francisco politician who has seen homelessness up close. Mandelman tells his story of growing up with a mother who struggled with mental illness and homelessness and how, despite the odds, he made his way through an Ivy League education and helped lift his mother out of her dire situation. Now an advocate for homeless rights, Mandelman walks us through the simultaneous explosion of homelessness and high-paying tech jobs in his hometown, sets forth some of his ideas for solving the crisis, and gives examples of cities that have been able to tackle this problem in an ethical, compassionate, and effective manner.
"Media on Trial" Challenges U.K. War Propaganda
May 29, 2018, 7:08 p.m.
Vanessa Beeley describes the near-impossibility of holding a conference about the role of U.K. media in promoting war in Syria.
In 'liberal' and 'democratic' Britain, venues are cancelled and permits are revoked. Only those who promote illegal wars are given free reign to express their opinions in civil society. In the U.K., you can 'platform' Al Qaeda supporters, but not critics of their Syria activities.
On the heels of the successful "Media on Trial" community conference, Beeley explains why war propaganda in the service of aggression needs to be criminalized. Taylor and Beeley also discuss the 'shadow state' networks in which Anglo-American governments fund organizations on the ground in Syria that provide 'corroborating evidence' for the U.S./U.K. narrative about that country. Such networks involve 'humanitarian actors' such as the White Helmets, and larger organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
The Union of Democratic Communications presents Sut Jhally
May 29, 2018, 7:02 p.m.
At a time of Facebook data sales to advertisers and political campaigns - when manipulated media and advertising play an overwhelming role in the selection for political office, there is a renewed focus on organizations that analyze propaganda and deception in the mass media.
At their 2018 Conference in Chicago the Union of Democratic Communications honored Sut Jhally for his three decades of media activism. Sut Jhally, is professor in the Communication Department at UMass, Amherst. His interests include advertising and consumer culture, and the intersection of ideology, consciousness, and politics.
Jhally is the founder of the Media Education Foundation. MEF produces films that inspire critical reflection on the social, political and cultural impact of American Mass Media. On their website at <mediaed.org> one can find films, ranging from the commercialization of childhood, the effects of pornography, pop-cultural misogyny and sexism, to titles that deal with the devastating effects of rapacious consumerism and the wars for oil that it drives and the climate change that it causes.
One film, that caused attacks on Sut Jhally and the MEF is: The Occupation of the American Mind, Israel's Public Relations War in the United States. The film deals with Israel's 2014 Gaza Strip attack and is narrated by the legendary Roger Waters from Pink Floyd. To this day the 2016 film, that has shown around the world, has not been accepted at mainstream film festivals and has no US distribution.
Sut Jhally received the Dallas Smythe award. Smythe was a leading scholar in American and international communication policy.
The program is made up of excerpts from Sut Jhally's one hour keynote address.
