Western powers foster religious conflict to hide political goals in Syria, and are losing
Dec. 6, 2016, 10:05 p.m.
The US plan to bring down President Assad involved false stories of âArab Springâ peaceful demonstrations, and the incitement of Shia-Sunni conflict. Now the Syrian army is winning the battle for Aleppo, yet Western media are doubling down on the myth of sectarian division and blatantly ignoring the material basis for the popular support of Assad. Many in the left of Europe and America have been blinded by propaganda.
Meanwhile, revolutionary Cuba has remained in solidarity with Syria, as both countries face embargoes and sanctions for daring to challenge imperialism.

Winona LaDuke on Standing Rock
Dec. 6, 2016, 8:21 p.m.
On her way home from one of many visits to Standing Rock, the Native American activist and author Winona LaDuke stopped in Chicago and gave a talk at the Newberry Library to a standing room only audience.
Winona LaDuke lives on the White Earth reservation in northern Minnesota, and is working on climate change, renewable energy, and environmental justice. She is the founder of the White Earth Land Recovery Project, and Program Director of Honor the Earth.
Winona LaDuke's talk in Chicago was framed by her clear headed assessment of the extraordinary risk that the fracking oil boom and the network of pipelines pose to our survival she offered examples how to break free from our addiction to fossil fuels.
Winona LaDuke says that "this is a test of civil society. The question is where we are all going and how it's going to work out."
Ishema Party courageously challenges the dictatorial rule of Paul Kagame in Rwanda
Dec. 6, 2016, 4:58 p.m.
Leaders of the Ishema party of Rwanda have taken steps, inspired by the example of Victoire Ingabire, to return to their home country and enter the struggle for a truly democratic process where they can win popular support and replace the one-man rule of Paul Kagame. The Kagame regime was so frightened by the news that Ishema leaders were planning to board a plane in Nairobi, that they notified the airline that these passengers would not be allowed in the country.

Dec. 6, 2016, 4:55 p.m.

The rest of the programme is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Fidel Castro Ruz, the retired Presidente de Cuba, via an archived address in Harlem, New York City USA from 1995.

Syrian forces are defeating Western-sponsored terrorists
Dec. 6, 2016, 10:06 a.m.
The fast-paced offensive of the Syrian army and its allies has caught Washington, London, and Paris unprepared and their media are still dreaming up absurd stories about civilian casualties and 7 year-olds sending jihadist enabling tweets.
Dec. 6, 2016, 9:14 a.m.
As the US arms and guides a âregime changeâ war against Syria, a state that won its independence from France after decades of struggle, some on the western âleftâ have tried to obscure the issues and find a middle-road that would permit them to undermine Syriaâs fight for sovereignty, while feigning solidarity. Danny Haiphongâs analysis makes it clear that our duty is to stand with Syria against western imperialism.

The Cleveland 4 & Unicorn Riot
Dec. 5, 2016, 3:40 p.m.
This week, we air 2 interviews, one about the case of the Cleveland 4 and one with members of Unicorn Riot.
pt 1: The Cleveland 4
Firstly, we speak with Amanda Shemkes. Amanda does legal support for members of the Cleveland 4. The Cleveland 4, or CLE4, are 4 anarchists who're serving around a decade in Federal prisons in the U.S. on charges of terrorism. Back story is that Brandon Baxter, Connor Stevens, Doug Wright, Joshua "Skelly" Stafford and Anthony Hayne (Anthony took a cooperating plea deal) were arrested on April 30th in 2012 for attempting to blow up a bridge with the provocation of an FBI informant named Shaquille Azir. The young anarchists had coalesced during Occupy Cleveland as a group after encamping together, being involved in food distribution and activism and were targeted and entrapped by Azir who escalated their talk of direct action to the bombing plot and provided them with work, housing, drugs, alcohol, access to (fake) explosives and more. Brandon Baxter, Connor Stevens, Doug Wright and Skelly all received sentences of around a decade each with terrorism enhancements promising lifetime probation. Amanda talks about their case, their time inside, government attacks on social movements and how to support Brandon, Connor, Doug & Skelly, the Cleveland 4. More on their case can be found at http://cleveland4solidarity.org
Also of note, Connor Steven's birthday is coming up on December 17th, so send him a bday card! Same day is Chelsae Manning's bday, actually... on that note, why not visit PrisonBooks.Info to see political prisoner birthdays for this month and sign up to receive the monthly calendar that the Prison Books Collective puts out? No good reason, I reckon.
pt 2: Unicorn Riot
Following this, we speak with volunteers with the non-profit, radical media outlet Unicorn Riot. Founded in 2014, UR has expanded from it's Minneapolis base to be present on the ground at struggles around the U.S. covering events as they unfold with the words of the people involved, documenting the brutality of the state's reactions and bravery in the streets and the fields of those resisting. As a platform, UR distributes regular tv episodes, podcasts and features small news briefs as well as a presence on social media. UR's coverage of the uprisings in Minneapolis around the killings and lack of justice in the killings of Jamar Clark & Philando Castille and more recently of the struggles of Water Defenders at the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota have gone viral, increasing solidarity and pressed mainstream media outlets to expand their coverage of these violent government interventions. In this second half of the episode, the plucky media rebels share their views on activism and journalism, on media paradigms, their project and some of the resistance it's participated in. http://unicornriot.ninja
This week Sean Swain shares his thoughts on Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution in light of Fidel's death last week. More from Sean at http://seanswain.org
Tomorrow, Monday December 5th in Asheville there's a prayer and vigil in Soldarity with Standing Rock as regards the struggle to stop the expansion of the Dakota Access Pipeline we'll be talking about later in the episode. Folks are meeting at 6pm at Pack Square. Bring an offering.
Also, big ups to the folks who went out to face off the kkk motorcade on Saturday the 3rd in Danville, VA & Pelham, NC. This time the KKK got their own stabby after the fact: http://myfox8.com/2016/12/03/2-men-arrested-after-man-stabbed-at-kkk-meeting-at-nc-home/
Of note, our hearts here at the final straw go out to those suffering the devastating effects of the fire at the ghostship warehouse on Friday December 2nd during a 100% Silk party. According to the most recent KGO-7 news out of San Francisco at 2pm EST on Sunday the 4th of December, 24 victims have been found inside the warehouse. A list of missing people has been compiled in an article on heavy.com. Not all of those pictured are known to be among the victims of Friday's fire.
