'Alternative Facts, American Fascism and Absolute Aryan Falsehoods' : How Will Indigenists, Progressives and the #AfroLeft Challenge MAGA-Era Newspeak?

In this dispatch, TheAngryindian speaks bluntly about the undeniable intellectual disconnect underlying the current US political environment and how this is impacting historically-targeted Peoples and Communities in North America and around the Fourth World. EXTRAS: Black Panther Party for Self-Defence veteran Bro. Dhoruba bin-Wahad speaks about United States political history; state repression; corporate-owned pop culture; the development of American Fascism; the errors of the reactionary Black celebrity-class and how People(s)-of-Colour figure within the new political framework during an (undated) law student’s dinner in (we believe) Detroit, Michigan, USA. What makes this recording extraordinary: Afro-American Congressman (and practising Muslim) Keith Ellison (D) was in attendance and pulled into an impromptu and spirited debate with Bro. Bin-Wahad – by audience demand – where they discuss the lack of a Black political foundation in the US and the reluctance of African-American politicians to challenge White Power in the US. All this and much more on, 4WR. The official Internet radio broadcast of the Aboriginal Press News Service/ANG

Karel van Wolferen:on US Creation of Fictional Realities

Blankfort speaks with Van Wolferen about his article, “Karl Rove's Prophecy,” from January's Unz Review which references Rove's 2004 statement to NY Times writer Ron Suskind in which Rove boasted of creating fictional realities for journalists to study even as new fictional realities are being created that the media will study, etc. Van Wolferen cites as current example the all-out propaganda assault on Vladimir Putin for election interference without any evidence and how elites and media of Northern Europe are buying into it; noting that what mainstream media produces is fiction, some so obvious as if to tell its readers that it is being done on purpose and they can “take it or leave it,” unable to do anything about it. He speaks of the pressure on professional journalists not to challenge official fictions such as JFK assassination or 9-11, which suspended laws of nature, without losing their employment and damaging their careers. He spoke of the role of Bush necon Cass Sunstein, spouse of Samantha Power, who published paper describing how to counter doubters of official 9-11 narrative. The JFK killing marked the takeover by the untruth fabricators and as with 9-11, the government authorized investigations were designed to disguise the truth. Ultimately sees what has happened to the search for the truth as a betrayal by liberals. He finds Trump had to judge and wonders, if in the end, he will, like Obama, give in to the powers of the invisible government. (The conversation will be resumed on Feb. 22.)

Jeff Blankfort/NewsOp: NY Times Hypocrisy re Trump & Putin

Blankfort begins quoting Dutch journalist, Karel van Wolferen, from his article, “Karl Rove's Prophecy” from Unz Review, over creation of fictional realities that began with 9-11 and media's role in reporting them. He then critiques shameful NY Times editorial attacking Trump for not condemning Putin, not upholding “ American exceptionalism,” and questioning US moral superiority. He then quotes from torture legitimizer John Yoo's op-ed in NY Times, bragging about what legal advice he had given GW Bush, acting in the spirit of A Hamilton, eg, invading Afghanistan, opening Guantanamo prison, conducting military trials, and “enhanced interrogation” of terrorists, as well as his approval of Obama's drone attacks and use of electronic surveillance. He then compares NYT and US media's preoccupation with Trump-Putin bromance to total silence regarding Putin-Netanyahu bromance and notes efforts by both Trump and Putin to block UNSC vote on Israeli settlements, suggesting the three will form a menage a trois. Blankfort reports on bill that passed Israeli Knesset approving as legal settlements built on stolen Palestinian land and that Palestinian Authority was warned by US Consulate that taking Israel to the ICC over the building of 3000 new Jewish only homes will result in US aid cutoff. He closes by suggesting a Trump tower will be built in new Jewish only West Bank colony.

Michael Parenti, The Supremely Political Court

In February, 2017 the name of Michael Parenti and references to his 23 books and countless lectures are flooding the Internet. It appears that his writings on history, the demise of US democracy, capitalism and the rule of the one percent, fascism, patriotism and US First-ism that span the decades from the late 1960s to 2014 were meant to be read and used today. Michael Parenti was born into a working class Italian family in East Harlem, New York City. He went on to receive his Ph.D. in political science at Yale in 1962. His academic career was cut short by his dismissal after he was arrested for protesting the US war on Vietnam. Parenti became an independent scholar, lecturer and author. The 12 part TUC Radio series "Democracy What Went Wrong" with recordings of Parenti’s lectures was produced in 1995. Parenti comments on major institutions such as the military, the CIA, media, corporations, universities, police, and the Supreme Court, offering suggestions on how to regain democratic control. We chose to rebroadcast Michael Parenti’s extraordinary history and analysis of the Supreme Court since that court and a Trump nominee dominate the media in early 2017. Over 20 years ago Parenti already pointed to the role of the court in concentrating wealth in the top 1 percent, and the way in which the Supreme Court expanded the power of corporations and laid the groundwork for what later became the Citizens United ruling of 2010. And Parenti shows how the Supreme Court began to give powers to the President in matters of foreign policy and national security that neither Congress nor the constitution had granted. He said: “... by Judicial Fiat the President could now do whatever he wanted in the absence of specific legislative prohibitions.” As of the date of this recording it still remains to be seen how the executive order issued by Donald Trump on January 27 barring citizens from seven Muslim majority countries from entering the US for 90 days, all refugees for 120 days and indefinitely preventing refugees from Syria from coming to the US will be decided by the current Supreme Court of 2017. Given the analysis made by Michael Parenti 20 years ago the outcome is uncertain.

Words: How We Learn What They Mean When They are Spoken and Heard

Words: what they mean to the speaker and what they mean to the listener are the bedrock of human communication and cultural understanding.   Susanna Janssen, a teacher and dedicated advocate of learning foreign languages at any age, is the author of Wordstruck! The Fun and Fascination of Language. In this edition of Radio Curious, we discussed the multiple aspects of the meanings of words, how words translate from one language to another, and how Janssen sometimes seems to have a different personality in different languages.

Sammy Roth: Rewiring the West

What do you think of when you hear the word, "billionaires?" Ruthless capitalists? Decadent narcissists? Evil cheese-puffs? What about renewable power? Well, today on Sea Change Radio we hear from Sammy Roth, energy reporter for The Desert Sun, who recently wrote a three-part series about how some American billionaires with deep roots in the fossil fuel industry, are planning bold clean power initiatives. We talk about the enormous wind farm that conservative tycoon Philip Anschutz hopes to build in Wyoming, discuss the efforts that famed investor Warren Buffett is making to enter California's electricity marketplace, and learn what "balancing authorities" are and the role they play in our electric grid. Is what's happening in the West just another capitalist scheme to benefit the 1%, or might these moves actually reduce climate pollution and lower energy bills?

Remainder of the Jonathan Cook interview, plus a BDS action alert

Our feature presentation this week is the remainder of an interview, the first half of which we presented last week, with British journalist Jonathan Cook. As we said then, Cook lives and writes from Nazareth, a predominately Palestinian/Arab city in the north of Israel. This interview is about ten years old, and was done on the occasion of the publication of his book Blood and Religion: The Unmasking of the Jewish and Democratic State, but it continues to resonate because he goes into great detail describing the plight of Palestinians who live in the state of Israel and constitute some 20% of Israel’s citizens. Because the interview was too long for one broadcast we split it between last week's and this week's edition on This Week In Palestine. We left off last week, and now continue, with his description of problems Palestinian/Arabs have in finding professional work in Israel where they live. Although the Palestinian population is highly educated, finding work as a professional, a doctor, engineer, lawyer, or academic is close to impossible. We pick up at the point where Jonathan Cook observes that much of the purpose of this is to make life difficult for Israeli Arabs, so that they will leave. Before that, an action alert: The Zionist lobbies in Massachusetts, with JCRC at the helm, are trying again to pass legislation designed to punish and weaken the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement. Unsuccessful last term, the lobby is trying again with stealth antidiscrimination legislation that doesn't even mention BDS, but would promote targeting of the BDS movement. Specifically, the bill forbids the state from contracting with institutions and individuals who boycott companies that profit off the Israeli occupation and policies of apartheid. Framed as an anti-discrimination measure, the bill looks innocuous but of course it's not. The sponsors and bill numbers are State Senator Creem of Newton (SB92) and State Rep. Paul McMurtry of Dedham (HB779). We urge our listeners to weigh in as soon as possible. Closing this episode, we read from an instructive article in Mondoweiss written by Palestinian journalist Sherene Khalel. The subject is Palestinians' concerns and non-concerns about the now-begun Trump presidency. It’s posted at http://mondoweiss.net/2017/01/palestinians-react-inauguration/.
