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.

In this monthâs Taxcast: We discuss why we canât afford the rich and challenge ideas about wealth, entrepreneurialism and investment.
Also: ten years ago the Tax Justice Network was told itâd never happen, but this month British Members of Parliament voted to stop secret ownership of companies in British Overseas Territories. The Crown Dependencies got away for now. But the pressure is on them as a UK Foreign Affairs Committee report says corrupt assets of Kremlin-connected individuals pouring in to London is a threat to the UKâs national security.
And while some of the money hidden in the Overseas Territories may flow to the United States, the EU may actually add it to their blacklist of non-cooperative jurisdictionsâ¦

I couldnât do my show last week. In the aftermath of such an atrocity, it was too much for me to handle. Every week since the Great March of Return began in Gaza at the end of March, Iâve been naming the dead, naming the individuals shot down in cold blood by the Israeli state. If I did the show last week, I would have had to name 62 people, 62 individuals with faces, names, lives and stories to tell, and I just couldnât do it. Instead, I went to the Guelph Poetry Slam in downtown Guelph. I got up in front of everyone and performed the following poem by an Irish Republican hunger-striker who gave his life for his people in a British jail in 1981, and I did it for Palestine just as Bobby Sands himself would have wanted me to if he was still with us now. Itâs called âThe Rhythm of Timeâ.
