Out of the Woods - Show #434 - 8-4-18
July 26, 2018, 4:44 p.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

Rebecca Gordon: Nicaragua & How It Has Divided the Left
July 25, 2018, 10:02 p.m.
Rebecca Gordon begins by explaining why Nicaragua has a special place and is particularly important for many Americans at a time when there is so much worse violence and killing in the world; it is what the Sandinista movement and its victory in 1979 presented to the world. She describes what they had done for the people of Nicaragua in terms of health, education, and dignity, but is quick to point that neither Pres. Danny Ortega or todayâs Sandinista movement bears any political resemblance to the Sandinistas of the 80s who captured the worldâs imagination and ire of the United States which has a long and ugly history of intervening in Nicaragua.
She points out how Ortega and his wife Rosario Murillo had become part of reactionary Catholic sect which led to the imposition of overly strict laws against abortion but suggests that might have had something to do with an absence of a drug problem which makes Nicaragua almost unique in the region, but suspects it might also have something to do with Ortega allowing the drug cartels boats to pass by its west coast without any problems.
She described the background of the current street battles and repression in Managua and praised the protesters as another generation of Nicaraguans fighting injustice and for their liberty and chides those former supporters of the Sandinista movement who are backing the Ortega government, claiming the US government is behind the rebellion, for not allowing the Nicaraguans to have their own agency, to act without being guided or manipulated by outside forces.
She does acknowledge that has split former supporters of the Sandinistas in the Mission District of San Francisco where she has lived for years as well as people in Nicaragua. Gordon spent six months in Nicaragua in 1984, has written a book about the country and has insights that are fresh and remind one how the passing of the years does not have to slow down oneâs engagement with the world.
Jeff Blankfort: News/Op:How US Elected Yeltsin; US, KSA armed Al Qaeda
July 25, 2018, 9:36 p.m.
After brief comments over divisions on the left over Nicaragua, I knock the mainstream media and NPR for its nonstop attacks on Russia and suggest that congressional gerrymandering, purging black and brown voters from the voting rolls and making it harder for the poor and elderly to vote have done more to damage our political process than the Russians could possibly imagine.
I recall and report on Time Magazineâs cover story of July 1996, featuring Boris Yeltsin with a US flag in his lapel, describing how four US Republican political operatives with a connection to the Clinton White House turned around Yeltsinâs failing bid for re-election into a win, using US political tactics which ended up putting the natural resources of Russia into the hands of handful or Russian Jews who became billionaire oligarchs.
I then cite an article by Robert Fisk about his discovering in the ruins of Eastern Aleppo, evidence that Al Nusra and the other jihadists that were fighting the government had been armed by the Saudis with 120mm mortars purchased from Bosnia and by Hughes Aircraft from California.
I finish with describing Israelâs new racist nationality law and how Netanyahu is telling Putin to get Iranâs arms and missiles out of Syria, to remove its air defenses and close the borders between Syria and Lebanon and Syria and Iraq. Seriously.

July 25, 2018, 4:31 p.m.
Finally, the letter states a Third World War will occur between the 'political Zionists' and the 'leaders of the Islamic world'.
'The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam [the Muslim Arabic World] and political Zionism [the State of Israel] mutually destroy each other.
'Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion.'
