Syria vs Imperialism: Defeating the 21st Century Contras

Back in the USSR compares the current US efforts to destabilize and destroy the sovereign nation of Syria with the murderous attempt by the Reagan Administration to overthrow the revolutionary Sandinista government of Nicaragua in the 1980s and how the so-called "moderate opposition" are in reality twenty-first century contras employing the same barbarous tactics in pursuit of regime change.

Saudi Arabia Barks at Canadian Tweet

Saudi Arabia is bombing Yemen, the poorest country in the Mid-East. Yet Chrystia Freeland chose to rebuke the Kingdom for locking up a blogger. The Saudis took umbrage, and Canada did not repeat its demands for the blogger's "immediate" release. Both Canada and Saudi Arabia are part of a long term effort to overthrow the Syrian government. This twitter scrap reveals that problems are developing in the great US-led neo-liberal plan for mid-east hegemony. The gang members are falling out with each other.

interviews Space 4 Peace Coordinator Bruce Gagnon

Bruce Gagnon is the Coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space. He was a co-founder of the Global Network when it was created in 1992. Between 1983–1998 Bruce was the State Coordinator of the Florida Coalition for Peace & Justice and has worked on space issues for 30 years. In 1987 he organized the largest peace protest in Florida history when over 5,000 people marched on Cape Canaveral in opposition to the first flight test of the Trident II nuclear missile. He was the organizer of the Cancel Cassini Campaign (launched 72 pounds of plutonium into space in 1997) that drew enormous support and media coverage around the world and was featured on the TV program 60 Minutes. Host Stuart Richardson speaks to Bruce about the newly proposed "Space Force", the lunacy of creating a massive new military expenditure and how the government is planning on funding it. And what we can do as citizens to stop these projects by envisioning the money being spent on more human centered programs like climate change which is a win, win ,win as it creates jobs, mitigates climate change and moves us towards peace.

Celebrating the Life of Larry Duncan 1945 - 2018

Labor media activist, co-founder of the Committee for Labor Access, and producer of many Labor Beat videos, Larry Duncan died suddenly last June. Family, friends and colleges gathered to celebrate his life's work and commitment to justice for the working class. Fittingly the event was held at the headquarters of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) whose current activists leadership (CORE) won power, over what had functioned as a company union for the City of Chicago, in part, thanks to Labor Beat videos effectively getting their message out to rank and file. And then again to the public, who supported their historic walkout in 2012. A walkout that helped inspire the recent teachers strike in West Virginia. "The TV networks are the 'Fourth Estate', as they would have said back in 1790 France. They have enormous impact on politics and culture, and we don't even get to vote for them... Our dependence on corporate controlled news institutions for taking our messages to the broad, non-activist public is ultimately a dead end, possibly useful only as a minor, shaky supplement to any labor media strategy." Larry Duncan, Feb 2018, in his final document, The Road Ahead for Labor Media, Chicago and Nationally; An invitation to the labor movement to help devise new media strategies. Speakers: Jerry Mead-Lucero - Labor Express Radio Zara Griswold - Larry's daughter Andrew Friend - Labor Beat TV - video clip of rare interview with Larry Rev. C.J. Hawking - Arise Chicago on Larry's work on behalf of Staley workers during their epic strike. Steve Zeltzer - Labor Video Project Erek Slater - ATU Local 241 - recorded comments Carl Rosen - UE Western Region president Open mic - thoughts and reflections on Larry's life and work. Jerry Mead-Lucero - closing remarks Bucky Halker preforms songs in honor of Larry throughout service.

Bankruptcy judge upholds junta's power over Puerto Rico

Bankruptcy judge upholds juntas power over Island Nation, further legitimizing Puerto Ricos colonial status with Prof. Rafael Bernabe, is a researcher and professor at the University of Puerto Rico. He is the author, with Csar Ayala, of Puerto Rico in the American Century: A History Since 1898. He is a social justice advocate and belongs to the Working Peoples Party in Puerto Rico. Governor Ricardo Rossell and Puerto Ricos legislature filed lawsuits in July claiming the board, now known as the Junta, which was created by the U.S. Congress under the so-called PROMESA Act in 2016, overstepped its power by imposing a belt-tightening fiscal plan and budget on the government that require public policy actions. Now, a U.S. judge ruled that Puerto Ricos federal oversight board has the power to enforce fiscal discipline on the bankrupt islands government through the budgetary process. Gov. Rossello blasted the ruling for giving total budgetary authority to the unelected members of the oversight board, which supersede that of the elected officials of the Government of Puerto Rico and its legislature. Rossello, said it was proof that Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. territory, is in fact more like a U.S. colony. Pro. Barnabe will talk about this latest assault against the self-determination of the people of Puerto Rico - its implications on governance, as it obviously means that the Island's elected governor and its legislature now have much less authority than they've been claiming to have and in terms of people's lives, it means that, people can expect more cuts to services, benefits, even pensions. Some of these cuts have already begun, like, to public education and to health benefits and on an island, where about half of its 3.4 million people live in poverty, further cuts will certainly pierce the very heart of Puerto Rico people.

Prison Radio August 9, 2018

Not only is Mr. Gaucher a retired criminology professor, but he also did time in one of the federal prisons he talks about. So, we have a unique perspective as he takes us on a history lesson of Canadian prisons from the twenties through the penal reform era of the forties and sixties. Robert discusses former prisoner rights groups based inside and outside prisons and how some of the well-known activists, like the late, great Claire Culhane were instrumental in raising public awareness and in penal reform. Robert says that it was Culhane who ignited his metamorphosis to prison activist and fundraiser for social issues. Mr. Gaucher gives an articulate, thought-provoking insight at a pivotal time in prison life and change. Worth listening to, again and again. So throw on those headphones and enjoy!
