A Building Bridges Special!
Puerto Rico: A Junta By Any Other Name (Part 1)
Just Like a Tree Standing by the Water, We Will Not be Moved, Puerto Rico a Nation of Resilience and Resistance!
featuring among the hundreds of Puerto Rican activists and their supporters:
. Elizabeth Yeampierre, ex. dir. of the Latino community-based group, UPROSE,
. Rosa Clemente, community organizer, independent journalist, and hip-hop activist
. Naomi Klein, author, The Battle For Paradise: Puerto Rico Takes on the Disaster Capitalists
. Caridad de la Luz, also known as La Bruja, Puerto Rican poet
. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York congressional candidate
. David Galarza Santa, a Puerto Rican labor and community activist
Its a matter of historical record that capitalisms relationship with the island has always been one of exploitation and plunder. While Hurricane Marias winds roared across the island, destroying Puerto Ricos infrastructure and in its wake more than 3,000 would die, so too are the evil winds of colonialism, in the form of the U.S. Congress imposition of its Fiscal Control Board (a dictatorial Junta) ravishing the island and threatening its people.
However, one year after Maria, the Puerto Rican diaspora is charting a new path forward, vibrantly proclaimed as hundreds gathered in Manhattans Union Square for an event organized by a community-led initiative called #OurPowerPRnyc, created to call out injustices in the U.S. governments response to Maria.
Again and again, speakers at the event called for the islands people to be able to chart their own future " and escape the federal governments grip. They took to the mic calling to drop the debt, eliminate the Jones Act, a transition to renewable energy that leaves no resident behind, a Marshall Plan-type effort to help Puerto Rico recover economically, and for self-determination of the island. In response, a voice in the audience called out, We need independence! Say it! Its the only answer at this point.

Gene reads a letter from Tommy Bassio, a federal prisoner and activist fighting for prisoners rights. Tommy sends a call out to his fellow cons, asking them to get involved in getting the word out to the public about the abuses they are experiencing in prison. After all, if the people on the street fighting for them don't know, then who will? Ashanti Alston, who is also a revolutionary, speaker, organizer and motivator, gives a great interview on the fate of political prisoners, prisons today and on the National Jerico Movement to free U.S, political prisoners. And so much more. Insightful and informative. This show has it all. Listen, enjoy, and introduce someone new to the Prison Radio Show. Like the theme of the show says; if we don't move the info, then we don't move the narrative.

Your Life is Their Toy - Part 8
Sept. 28, 2018, 6:51 a.m.
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

Out of the Woods - Show #443 - 10-6-18
Sept. 27, 2018, 6:57 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

Jeff Blankfort:News/Op:Russia, Iran, Russia v. Israel?
Sept. 26, 2018, 1:37 p.m.
I began by discussing last week's special section in NY Times devoted to Russian subversion of our elections, pointing out the serious omission the Ukraine coup and the lie in about Russia invading Ukraine in search for new bogeyman and new Cold War. I explain reasons for Putin wanting to damage Clinton and later, with reference to Kavanaugh hearing, how her âstanding byâ her sexual predator husband and vilifying his victims cost her the women's vote,
I then read from Mairead Maguire's powerful essay against the demonization of Russia and the crimes of NATO and the potential of war, followed by noting Trump's comments in the UN on Iran and the more bellicose by John Bolton at another forum in NY the same day, threatening all sanction breakers with âterrible consequences and Pompeo's bewilderment at Europe's attempt to find ways to trade with Iran and avoid sanctions.
I finish with update on Russia blaming Israel for the shooting down of Russian reconnaissance plane by Syrian anti-aircraft missile and Russian military's unhappiness with Putin's attempt to explain it as a mistake.
Diana Johnstone on The REAL Russian Interference in US
Sept. 26, 2018, 1:31 p.m.
I begin by referring to Diana Johnstone's article for Consortium News about the REAL Russian interference in US politics in the person of oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Bill Browder and how the oligarchs obtained their wealth in the Yeltsin era and manipulated Washington and Congress to support them with legislation and sanctions against Russia such as the Magnitsky Act in which he was able to transform Browderâs crooked accountant into a âhuman rights âmartyr when he died from neglect in a Russian prison.
She relates the history of Khodorkovskyâs rise from being a Soviet apparatchik to the be multibillionaire owner of Lukos oil and his arrest when he was planning to sell parts of it to Exxon and Chevron, which was his springboard to becoming a hero in the US Congress.
When Putin tried to reign in the activities if the oligarchs, they had the option of fleeing to Israel (all were Jewish-JB) where they had no fear of extradition and their money was welcomed,
Johnstone points out the US is only too happy wo welcome interference in US political life when it comes from scoundrels and gangsters, in groups and individuals, who seek US backing in their efforts to overthrow their governments, in a word, traitors, and cites, most immediately, the MEK, Mujahedeen-e-Khalq , formally listed as a terrorist group by State, now embraced by the likes of Rudy Giuliani.
The points of her article and her comments are if Putin is interfering in the US system it is protect him from the US efforts to overthrow his government and return to the corrupt era when Yeltsin was Washingtonâs puppet and that the clash between the US and Russia is not one of competing ideologies as we saw in the Cold War, but of Putinâs view of a multipolar world as opposed to the US view of American world domination. And much more.

Tonight we are going to hear some excerpts from Behrouz Boochaniâs book No Friend But the Mountains.
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was reading it and basically couldnât put it down. Well during this time also I have been chatting with radio producer Ros Elliot who embarked on a mission to transfer segments of the book onto radio.
With the permission of the author she recorded Leo Gortz reading some segments from the book.
Having read the book, fast because I wanted to absorb the whole story⦠hearing these readings was a totally different experience. So thanks very much Ros for taking on this project.
Right now you can hear it for yourself, the book starting out with Behrouz leaving Indonesia by boat. A small boat embarking on a journey over a huge sea.
