White Terrorist Murders African-American Timothy Caughman

April 1, 2017, 10:47 a.m.
Say His Name: TIMOTHY CAUGHMAN! Confronting Terror Attacks Against African-Americans, Resisting White Supremacy, Combating White Nationalism! Timothy Caughman, 66, was a former social worker, who, in his retirement years, had taken to recycling to keep busy and help pay his rent. Caughman was African-American, which made him a target for his professed killer, who stabbed him to death with a sword, a white supremacist who admitted traveling to NYC from Baltimore to kill a Black man because "New York is the media capital of the world". The killing of Timothy Caughman was a hate crime and an act of terrorism. We should also think of it as a lynching, the latest episode in an American form of racial violence that stretches back to the 19th century. To describe this attack as a lynching is to emphasize the reality of anti-black violence, its persistence through time, and the way in which its justified and the failure of our society to fully excavate our past to grapple with the present. By understanding Timothy Caughmans murder as a lynching, we gain clarity into how racial violence is more than hate"how its meant to enforce racial caste by making an example of any unfortunate person of African ancestry who circumstantially crossed the path of the white supremacist. We must understand Timothy Caughmans murder as a modern lynching, for we have yet to understand and grapple with the legacy of racial oppression and its current manifestations as a society. To call Timothy Caughmans murder an act of terrorism is also to re-contextualize the age of lynching as an earlier age of terrorism, forgotten by most, but whose wounds still fester and which scars remain prevalent in the collective memories of African-Americans. And there is a political context for white supremacy and white nationalism flaring up anew. President Trump, has yet to comment on the extraordinary murder of Timothy Caughman, issue condolences to his family, or condemn this act of terror. He did choose to relate to and send a message of condolence about an American victim of terrorism in London. Trump never condemned the January shooting at a Qubec mosque that took six lives, and it took him a week to condemn the killing of an Indian computer engineer in Kansas. "J'accuse ...!" Black Lives Matter: Timothy Caughmans death renews the challenge for us to tear out root and branch, the cultural, social, economic and political systemic manifestations of racism and the impediments to equality. Say HIS NAME: TIMOTHY CAUGHMAN!



Episode 2017.08 - Health Care, Health Care, Decide All About it, Or Not

April 1, 2017, 3:18 a.m.
Sigh, it was a cold day in the Nation’s Capital, rain fell upon the shoulder of the recently elected Commander and Chief, in his right hand, a phone, his left hand dialed quickly House Majority Leader Paul Ryan’s Office, why, because two minutes ago the President learned the Majority Leader would be snatching the bill off the floor closing off any possibility Healthcare “Reform” would occur before the showdown on the budget begins. The President was furious, his aides had assured him prior to taking office such “Reform” was what voters desired and demanded, but President Muslim Worshiper, a usurper to White House throne refused to direct his many Czars to obey the will of “the people”, crafting legislation beneficial to both citizens and corporations in the process. His hand tightened as the phone rang, there was no answer – what was he to do, the press was on their way, Bannon had informed him moments earlier, hoping to gloat, he presumed, at this legislative defeat. Okay, this didn’t actually happen, but it’s a better retelling then what did happen, this Episode is not just about health care, in fact it’s mostly about other things, but you don’t want to hear about the topics discussed, you’re about to listen to it, so just rest assured, if you’ve listened to CWB you know I’ll discuss some stuff, throw some other stuff in for fun, then possibly open up a new topic moments before the show’s ending – Enjoy

25 Boxes in Alberta Archives Say Michael Chomiak (the grandpa who inspired Chrystia Freeland) Was a Nazi Collaborator

March 31, 2017, 5:51 p.m.
There’s been much discussion about Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland's long silence since being asked to comment on claims that her grandfather was the editor of a Nazi collaborationist newspaper published in German occupied Cracow. She has always been satisfied to call him a refugee and Ukrainian nationalist. But, thanks to the efforts and political intuition of Alex Boykowich and friends, who visited the 25 boxes of Michael Chomiak’s papers, the world now knows the Minister’s grandfather was indeed a collaborator. Meanwhile Canada’s political class have turned into a petrified forest of embarrassed silence, and Canada is still committed to backing reactionaries in Kiev.

Defending the Indefensible: Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Revises Family History of Nazi Collaboration

March 31, 2017, 8:19 a.m.
During World War 2, the maternal grandfather of Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland had edited and published a widely circulated daily newspaper containing Nazi spin and propaganda along with anti-Semitic hate speech. Freeland has misrepresented her Grandfather's war-time activities and even attempted to portray the recent releases of this information as part of a Russian dis-information campaign to destabilize the Canadian government. This episode of the Global Research News Hour explores this aspect of Minister Freeland's family background, what it means in the context of the current Liberal government's foreign policy. We broaden the discussion to include an examination of the Ukrainian nationalist cause in the mid-twentieth century, its links to fascist movements, and the rationale for the Canadian Liberal government's embrace of and support for this cadre of Ukrainians as a representative group within Canada. Our guests include Moscow-based Western correspondent and commentator John Helmer, and Ottawa-based anti-war activist, researcher and writer Richard Sanders.

TB 170331 The Thunderbolt's Greatest Strikes

March 31, 2017, 2:20 a.m.
t’s the 5th Friday — meaning it’s time for The Thunderbolt’s Greatest Strikes! This is when I re-air some of my own favourite little Thunderbolts that have aired over the years — and this week I am actually airing my very favorite 45 minutes out of every Thunderbolt that we have ever produced over the years! The Discount Looking Glass features a word from one of the Thunderbolt’s sponsors concerning the wisdom of taking care whilst making purchases. Next — in a Thunderbolt exclusive — I reveal an investigation that I conducted to answer — once and for all — that age-old question: Why did the chicken cross the road? Don’t miss this eyewitness accounting revealing their not-so-sinister secret… Then, with college educations out of the financial reach of nearly everyone except privileged white kids and exceptional football players, the Thunderbolt provides yet another free public service by alerting our young listeners to an ‘alternative’ educational opportunity that will prepare today’s youth for the Brave New World that awaits them! Next — after airing my blockbuster piece uncovering one of the chicken species’ most closely guarded secrets — I am forced by outraged listeners to apologize to every chicken on the planet for so callously intruding into their personal lives in such an intrusive and homo-centric manner! (Jeez! Does Colonel Sanders have to put up with this kind of stuff?) After advising American youth about alternative methods for getting by — I soon thereafter realized that we must also prepare small children for the ‘real’ world that they are about to inherit (as opposed to the candy-coated severely censored faux-reality that most children are taught) and so here is the first in the now infamous Poppy Seed Street series: Poppy Seed Street Lesson 1: Capitalism. Finally — for the epic feature for this epic episode of the Thunderbolt — we air the very first chapter in a semi-regular feature called ‘Heartbreakers’, wherein we describe that actual world that our youth and our children are about to inherit while playing music about heartbreakers. The Thunderbolt: Gutting sacred cows with a smile. Check it out.

Out of the Woods - Show #365 - 4-8-17

March 30, 2017, 9:15 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

Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 11

March 29, 2017, 9:42 p.m.
Volume 11 of Donald Drumpf Theatre never promised you a rose garden, nor a healthcare bill. The show is a make-believe listen to what might happen if a reality television star became the leader of the free world. The show features news clips and songs cut in a way similar to Dickie Goodman, with a Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style. Contributions are welcome to info@wgxc.org. It's a fake news show that's actually radio theatre, so the news is true.
