The Anti-Federalists - Part Eleven

In Letter No. 11, Centinel implores his fellow citizens not to fall for the scare tactics of the Founders. He expresses incredulity that such men of "education" could fall into the trap of such a contrived government. He claims that the Constitution is nefarious. He makes a cogent case that it will be so detrimental to the welfare of the young America, it is worth risking a States' separation, civil war and even anarchy for the time being. He entreats his fellow Colonialists to bide their time until a better plan can be worked out. He urges rejection of the hastily proffered government for what it is: a construction of shackles and chains.

The Destructive Role of Kofi Annan in Rwanda's Bloody Debacle

With the death of Kofi Annan we need to be reminded that he was a key UN official in many dubious episodes, including Yugoslavia and Rwanda, where he was an upper level decision maker. Faustin Twagiramungu, former Prime Minister of Rwanda, remembers a meeting with Annan in which Annan indicated that a report identifying RPF crimes should be ignored/downplayed. The UN failed Rwanda and failed Africa. And we learn something of the dubious methods of Philip Gourevitch.

TB 180831 On Death & No Taxes 2X

We start off with an explosive and exclusive Thunderbolt revelation revealing why the chicken crossed the road. We then ponder Jeff Bezos’ rising economic dominance combined with his purchase of the Washington Post combined with his $600 million contract with the CIA. (That’s a lot of ‘combining’ going on there.) Then we rebroadcast the first of a series of Thunderbolts called Heartbreakers wherein I report on undercovered heartbreakers whilst I play music that is about heartbreakers. Next, I air an apology I needed to make for my previous piece about chickens — and for the feature this week we deconstruct our tax system. The Thunderbolt — taking political elitism to ever newer and even more annoying heights!

Out of the Woods - Show #439 - 9-8-18

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

Supporting Immigrant Labor, Fighting For Their Rights

Supporting Immigrant Labor, Fighting For Their Rights with Pablo Alvarado, executive director, National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) and Kent Wong, director of the UCLA Labor Center and Director of the UCLA Labor Center and founding president of the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance Whether immigrants workers, documented or undocumented seek to hold crooked and exploitative bosses accountable for wage theft, and pay that is below the prevailing wage or work just too many hours for too little pay and benefits and are subject to abusive treatment to their personage, such as sexual harassment or want the freedom to push for decent jobs and organize unions without risking arrest, they deserve legal protections. Now with Trump threatening to bring a reign of lawlessness to American cities, the most precarious workers are subjected to more militarized and extensive workplace raids, mass arrests, family separation and expedited deportations. Then there is the all-too-familiar story of scape-goating immigrant workers and deliberately pitting them against American workers as big corporations cut wages as they seek to reap bigger profits. They replace one set of workers with another"from other regions or other countries"or by automating work. Meanwhile, CEO pay and bonuses continue to rise while workers wages fall. When you are scrambling to find work or getting beat out for a job by someone willing to work for less, theres an allure to an anti-immigrant stance. But taking that bait doesnt get us very far. The issue may not come up in contract talks, but a safe, fair workplace regardless of immigration status is key to social inclusion, promoting economic fairness, and helping communities exercise the rights they do have"especially those without a say in who gets elected to office. Migrants seeking asylum and immigrant workers arent pulling the strings of our rigged economy. Those making the decisions that cause economic hardship can more likely be found at Mar-a-Lago, not at the border. If we dont focus on holding the ultra-rich and greedy corporations accountable, workers will continue losing. All the raids in the world will not help native-born and documented workers with job security. This false notion that we are in competition with immigrants limits our ability to see each other, even when the collateral damage is children. At this moment, wealthy corporations and billionaires, not immigrant children and their parents, are sacrificing workers for profits. We should see this as a warning. When people are so dehumanized that forcing kids to sleep in kennels becomes acceptable, the value of life for everyone goes down. Instead of scapegoating children, mothers and fathers, we should reconnect with our humanity and demand change from the true source of our hardship: an out-of-control corporate class. Lets be clear: We have found the culprit, and its not our fellow workers and certainly not children.

James Zogby, renowned pollster and president of the Arab American Institute, speaks out on media silence

AAI (located in Washington DC) serves as a political and policy research arm of the Arab-American community. Zogby was born in the US of Palestinian parents, and is an important Palestinian voice that needs to be heard. Unfortunately, just when Palestinian voices need to be elevated, they are heard less and less frequently in our media, and here he speaks to that issue. Zogby's pertinent book is Arab Voices: What They Are Saying to Us, and Why it Matters (St. Martin's Press, 2012). Here are a couple of the reviews: “Jim Zogby has written an essential and enlightening book on Arab opinion. Arab Voices is a must read for anyone who wants to hear true voices from the Arab world.” ―Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan “Arab Voices is a breakthrough book. Finally, after decades of relentlessly ignorant or bigoted stereotyping of the so-called ‘Arab Mind' - often a form of anti-Semitism against Arabs - by partisans having other agendas, James Zogby responds. He presents the results of intensive polling, within historical, political and cultural contexts, in an engrossing search for accuracy, fairness and truth. Let's see if the slanted press and the wrathful cable-talk radio hosts can tolerate giving this book and its calm author a chance to correct the record.” ―Ralph Nader On May 22, 2018, he spoke to the Jerusalem Fund and Palestinian Center, where he was introduced by its director, Mohamed Mohamed.

1968 & 2018: Unite Against War and Police Violence!

The Chicago Committee Against War and Racism held a rally and march, Saturday, August 25th, under the theme: “1968 & 2018: Unite Against War and Police Violence!” The rally was intended to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the watershed anti-war protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, while not being an exercise in nostalgia but the building of a new independent people’s movement against the U.S. government’s constant war-making and the related struggles against racism, poverty and police repression. The march from Daley Plaza to the General Logan Statue, site of iconic confrontations during the police riots and across from the Hilton Hotel were the delegates and press were staying, was addressed by Rich Whitney. That portion has no audio recording. Ahead of the event several people who experienced the "68 DNC" gave short remembrances.

Crazy Weather and the Arctic Meltdown, How are they Connected?

Each year in the last three decades scientists have paid attention to the status of the ice at the end of the Arctic summer. In past years observations from satellites and submarines have shown decreasing ice thickness and area covered for the months from June to September. That has led to an ongoing debate whether and when the Arctic might be ice free in September. But scientist are not the only interested parties. There is growing evidence of the connection between Arctic melting and weather events in the Northern Hemisphere, droughts, colds, heat-waves as well as flooding. Dr. Jennifer Francis is Research Professor at Rutgers' University Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences. Her interests are the Connections between rapid Arctic warming and weather patterns in mid-latitudes, and impacts of Arctic sea-ice loss on accelerated melt of the Greenland ice sheet. She also has direct personal experience with climate and weather as she and her husband circumnavigated the world in a sailboat between 1980 and 1985. Jennifer Francis spoke at the New England Aquarium on October 19, 2017.

Your Life is Their Toy - Part 4

Health and life are man's most precious possessions; and anxiety to preserve them is natural. It is not surprising, therefore, that they have been exploited since time immemorial. Every age has had its charlatans, quacks and medicine men. Much in the same measure as social organization has attained its highest pitch in the present era, the exploitation of health and life today has reached its zenith. Never before in history has there arisen such an extensive conspiracy about the problem of public health of entire nations, involving well-organized, opposing political and commercial groups. The consequence of this welter of exploitation is the sacrifice of human comfort, happiness, health and life. --Emanuel Josephson, 1941, "Your Life is Their Toy."

Craig Downs: Coral Reef Rescue

Visitors to the Hawaiian island of Oahu marvel at the splendor of Hanauma Bay, a volcanic crater teeming with coral reefs, tropical fish, and the occasional sea turtle. But there's something else that the snorkelers may notice as they enjoy the bright colors of a local rainbow-hued parrot fish. Upon the surface of the water floats a colorful oily film, deposited there from the bodies of the 3000 visitors who descend upon the state park everyday. That works out to approximately a million swimmers per year. If each of those people applies a half-ounce to an ounce of sunscreen before mingling with the marine life there, that’s literally hundreds of gallons of sunscreen a day being poured into the small bay. One imagines that all those chemicals must have an impact on the health of that fragile ecosystem. Well, our guest today on Sea Change Radio, Craig Downs, is the Executive Director of Haereticus Environmental Laboratory. His organization's research established just how detrimental common sunscreen ingredients are to coral reefs and the findings helped lead to a recent ban on these ingredients across the entire state of Hawaii. We talk today about what the offending chemicals do, the particulars of the new legislation, and whether we can expect other jurisdictions to follow suit.

Anthony, Adams Esq.: A Deeply Romantic Public Defender, etc.

Our guest in this edition of Radio Curious is Anthony Adams, Esq., is currently, among other things, a Deputy Public Defender in Mendocino County, California. He’s also poet, formerly a California State Parole Commissioner, and served in the California State Assembly. At a local Bar Association gathering, Adams recited his poetry and shared stories about his work as a Parole Commissioner. I decided to invite him to be a guest and asked him to tell us about his life. Anthony Adams visited Radio Curious on August 23, 2018, and described himself and an “interesting fellow… A deeply romantic person.” In the course of our conversation his self description revealed itself. We began when I asked him about poetry related to his work. The books Anthony Adams recommends are “Nine Horses: Poems,” by Billy Collins, a former national Poet Laureate; “The Dove Keepers,” by Alice Hoffman; and “1492: A Novel of Christopher Columbus, the Spanish Inquisition, and a World at the Turning Point,” by Newton Frohlich. This program was recorded on August 23, 2018.
