#480 -- Capitalism vs. Democracy, Prosperity, Ecology
May 14, 2017, 7:09 p.m.
Nuclear weapons and climate change pose existential threats to life on earth, says Noam Chomsky. Democratic institutions would be able and inclined to deal with these threats, But since the 1970s, capitalism has succeeded in undermining democracy and democratic institutions, in Europe and the U,S, Thus we have a "perfect storm" of crises.
By undermining democracy, capitalists have also greatly increased their own wealth and reduced the prosperity of the 99%.

Episode 2017.10 - Trump Tight, The First Amendment, The Future and Victory Without Sacrifice

Iâm Back! Venezuela, a war maybe on deck with this Socialist boogeyman, plus did you know the Chinese, along with a few other wealthy countries are buying up your country, neither did I (accept all those times when I did). This is a jam packed episode, I spend some time speaking about the threat Millennials pose to the Elite â all Communists in waiting! I talk about the changes coming to the podcast and what the future may hold for our fragile republic. Imagine a world where the Capitalist order takes on the duty of transforming the country into a very compassionate commonwealth, can you see it â the Capitalist system had the opportunity to do just that after World War II, it didnât, it went after those societal elements seeking to bring compassion to the economy through Democracy, Socialism and Labor unions. History cannot be rewritten, thus I conclude the system is incapable of bring Commonwealth principals to those living underneath its edicts, what then does this portend for the future â you donât really want to rest your eyes on those dreary prospects, neither do I, so I (sort of) donât. Can this country ever be fixed or rescued, Iâm an optimist, so I believe it can (though the realist in me says âNot a chanceâ). Thanks for listening!

The computer ransomware attack on May 12 that hit over 50,000 computers across dozens of countries, England's hospitals, FedEx in the U.S., banks and telecoms in Spain, and a Russian ministry used hacking exploits that researchers believe were developed by the U.S. National Security Agency. The attack is demonstrating what happens when intelligence agencies can't keep their own computer weapons locked down.
This attack exploits a weakness in Microsoft Windows revealed by the Shadow Brokers hacker entity in 2016 that experts believe originated in the NSA-linked Equation Group methods of exploiting computer software vulnerabilities. The exploit named EternalBlue is among dozens revealed by the Shadow Brokers in April.
Although this infection's spread is mostly over, the young British researcher known as MalwareTech, whose quick thinking Saturday temporarily stanched the Wanna Decryptor virus from spreading so rapidly, said this same exploit could be unleashed again with a very simple change to its code.
In March the multinational Cisco systems had to learn from Wikileaks that its Internet switches had been hacked by the CIA to allow eavesdropping. Cisco's engineers had to rush to understand, repair and protect their customers' gear against the exploits the CIA had known about for over a year so that criminals and spies couldn't use the same methods.
About 90% of government spending on cyber programs is for offensively penetrating, disabling and eavesdropping on targeted computers and communications. Comparatively little is spent on protecting consumers, businesses and even the rest of the government from cyber attacks, hacks, economic espionage or holding data for ransom.
Interview with retired NSA Technical Leader for intelligence William Binney, previously the NSA's technical director of military geopolitical analysis and reporting. He worked in both the operations and analysis sides of intelligence, and was a Russia specialist.

Intellectual Secession: Forging Ideological Lucidity During a Time of Sociopolitical Irrationality
May 13, 2017, 11:45 a.m.
In a purely spoken-word dispatch, FWR host @TheAngryindian speaks (again) on the difficulties of separating fact-from-fiction during the reign of Donald Trump and Co. Moving on from deconstructing the crippling effects of popular conspiracy theories in the American Afro-Urban community, he turns to asking Indigenous; Afrocentrist and Progressive activists (and himself) about how serious we are about really doing what is necessary to achieve what it is we advocate. And even then, are we really clear about what it is that we want to see change? Do we consider how âourâ change will affect others? Is it possible to develop a kinder, more holistic and culturally/ethnically respectful world-view without forcing people to be free? Or are all revolutions like the Jacobins and therefore, bollocks?
Extras: Archived interview between Afro-American broadcaster Gil Nobel and H. Rap Brown (Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin) with additional commentary from Afrocentrist poet Amiri Baraka.
All this and much more on, 4WR.
