TB 170224 Cold Steel Arms 2X

This week’s archive radio show starts right off with the Toothless Old Grandpa stealing my microphone! (So where the hell else would we end up?) After I steal it back, I first present both the problem and the solution to Ted Nugent! Then, we conduct a study on how false flags are used to promote fascism — and then the Toothless Old Grandpa explains to the citizens of Chicago why they have nothing to worry about! (However: I suspect that his salty old tongue was firmly ensconced within in his toothless old cheek whilst he was doing so…) Next, we encourage all of our listeners to go F-%@# yourselves! Really! After that (if you’re still listening, that is) we nuance evil by illuminating the fact that most of these folks are not so much evil at heart as they are merely adapting to their environment — just like any successful species does! If you find yourself in an environment that lavishly rewards incredibly vile behavior whilst simultaneously severely punishing honorable behavior — well — what’s an adaptating species to do? The Toothless Old Grandpa then surprises us yet again by taking us to Greenland, where he provides a graphic example of how destroying communities also destroys people. Finally — for the Grand Thunderbolt Finale — we hurl a high-voltage Thunderbolt at the American foster care system! (It deserves it! Believe me!) As usual — I’m betting that this week we have a LOT of stuff that you didn’t know about. As usual — you listen to the Thunderbolt at your own risk! ..

#744 - The Machine Stops

This episode is a successor show to episode 639, which examined the connections between technology and totalitarianism. Exceptionally, our title piece is an short story so old as to be no longer under copyright! As a counterpoint to this vintage sci-fi, two other interesting thinkers: a 1974 recording of Ivan Illich on the dangers of mechanising food production while a dependent population are stabulated (housed) in sterile concrete, followed by an introduction to the outrageous ideas of the psychonaut John C. Lilly in particular his dystopian vision of the Solid State Entity.

The Taxcast: February 2017

How financial transaction taxes can protect us from finance sectors dragging our economies down. Plus: the Swiss referendum – taxpayers have refused to pick up the tab for corporate tax ‘reforms’. What does that mean for one of the world’s biggest tax haven players? Also, we discuss President Trump’s valentine gift for kleptocrats and the extractives industry as he repeals anti-corruption regulations – the criminal race to the bottom is on. And, the influence of dark money, the experts in distorting democratic debate and the results of the 2017 Transparify report.

A Conversation between two greats, Amira Hass and Chris Hedges

Our feature presentation today is a conversation with the remarkable Israeli journalist and prolific author Amira Hass, who writes for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. Among her prominent books: Drinking the Sea at Gaza: Days and Nights in a Land Under Siege (1999) and Shifting Sands: Jewish Women Confront the Israeli Occupation, 2015 Updated Edition (2010/2015). Her works are celebrated by the pro-justice community in Israel and worldwide. We have featured her at least twice on This Week In Palestine. Unsurprisingly, she is loudly criticized, condemned, and smeared by the racist pro-Zionist community. That conversation is with Chris Hedges, renowned author and journalist who has written for the New York Times and many other publications. His recent books include Unspeakable (2016) and Wages of Rebellion (also 2016). Bestsellers include Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle (2010) and American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America (2008). Our parent show, Truth and Justice Radio, has featured him at least 10 times. The conversation takes place on Hedges' RT television news program, On Contact. Before that, we discuss recent developments relating to Israel's program of land theft. To steal vast tracts of Palestinian farmland, Israel frequently invokes "temporary" “military” or “security” reasons, purportedly allowed by The Hague Regulations. Use varies, but frequently it becomes an Israeli settlement. On the hope-building side, a somewhat different strategy is being tried in a court challenge of Israel's abuses of "temporary" justification, asserting that it has now "expired" (even though it was phony from the beginning), and land must therefore be returned to its Palestinian rightful owners. Predictably, on the hope-killing side, Israel's "leaders" have decided to short-circuit the effect of any court decision favorable to the original land owners quite simply, by passing and implementing a new law that declares all previous "temporary" seizures now permanent!

Karel van Wolferen on Ukraine, Chomsky, anti-Russian Hysteria

Blankfort continues interview with Van Wolferen from 2/8/17 about his article, “Karl Rover's Prophecy,” in Unz Review in which he cites Rove's bragging to interviewer, Ron Suskind, of the Establishment's power to create “realities: that people will believe in. Today, he examines US orchestrated coup in Ukraine on its third anniversary notes that the conditions in today's Ukraine provide nothing to celebrate. He sharply criticizes European leaders who sheepishly follow US lead on Ukraine and NATO—an ongoing menace--pointing out that a qualification of today's European leaders was that earlier in their career they allowed themselves to become dependents of the US in making their foreign policy. Van Wolferen expresses dismay and surprise that it is liberals who have taken the lead in America's Russia bashing and dismay at what happened to the European Left after millions had turned out to protest the Iraq War in 2003. He again questions those with the capability of doing so, to speak out regarding the most influential event of this millennium, the attack on the World Trade Center, and the unwillingness of the intelligentsia to question the government's untenable “official narrative” because of fear of job loss and/or reputation. He cites Noam Chomsky, in particular, who is worshiped internationally by the Left for his efforts to discourage inquiries into controversial topics, such as 9-11 and the JFK assassination, telling them where they can and cannot go. He points out, significantly, that when foreign intellectuals visit the US, with government approval, many are sent to visit Chomsky who is cited as an example of dissent being permitted in the US. He also speaks of his frustration when his reporting on the war of the Khymer Rouge on the people of Cambodia was countered in the West by Chomsky's statements that the accusations against the regime of Pol Pot were US propaganda, a mistake for which Chomsky has never apologized.

Jeff Blankfort: News/Op: Liberals Hypocrisy re Russia

Blankfort opens noting this is 3rd anniversary of success of US orchestrated coup in Ukraine, when Yanukovich fled Kiev, then attacks NPR for pushing non-stop for confrontation with Russia as it did for war on Iraq. He then goes on to rip Michael Moore, Bill Moyers and the liberal organizations and websites that are demanding, like them, a special commission to investigate alleged Russian meddling in US election: Common Cause, Common Dreams, AlterNet, Color of Change, Move On, quoting Moore's tweets and Moyers article in The Populist, reminding listeners that Moyers was a loyal LBJ press secretary during the bombing of Vietnam and has never apologized. Blankfort asks how these liberals can believe US intelligence which has been telling nothing but lies to the public since WW 2, and asks why they did not call for a special commission to investigate the intelligence behind the war on Iraq and call for prosecution of those responsible. Then, he PLAYS three clips. The first (4:10) is the secretly recorded phone conversation between Dep Sec of State Victoria Nuland and US ambassador to Ukraine, Geoff Pyatt, about who should be the next Ukraine prime minister, two weeks before coup succeeds. The second (2:05) has John McCain and Lindsay Graham speaking to Ukranian soldiers last December, calling on them to go on offensive against Russia. The third (2:46) is former congressman and presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich, speaking on Fox News against the warmongers pushing for a new Cold War. ALL OF THESE ARE “MUST LISTENS.”
