An interview with members of DAF, an anarchist collective in Istanbul, plus words from Sean Swain
June 12, 2016, 2:41 p.m.
******A quick announcement: There will be a vigil tonight at 9pm at Firestorm Books and Coffee at 601 Haywood Rd in West Asheville for the victims and community affected by the shooting that occurred last night in Orlando, Florida. The shooting occurred at the Gay dance club called The Pulse and media outlets are announcing that there were 50 people killed in what appears to have been a targeted attack by someone from outside of the area wielding an assault rifle and a handgun. The hostage situation that developed was ended by a SWAT invasion at 5AM this morning (6-12-1016). Come out tonight and support this community.******
=============================================
This week, we present the first part in a short serialization of an interview with Merve Arkun, Hüseyin & Ãzgür, members of Devrimci AnarÅist Faaliyet, or DAF. DAF translates to Revolutionist Anarchist Action and is a network of overlapping collectives in Turkey. They are based out of Istanbul and run an office and two cafe's, both called 26A, which is a meeting space and employer for collective members. This conversation was conducted on March 19, 2016, a few short hours after a DAESH (ISIS) bombing occurred in the BeyoÄlu neighborhood of Istanbul, on the touristy street called Ä°stiklal Avenue, just a few blocks from one of the collective's cafe's and their newspaper office.
The bomb killed 5 people (4 tourists plus the bomber), and injured some 36 more. The tension in the city in the days before the bombing was palpable as trucks of riot police roved around the neighborhood, and embassies and foreign schools closed for security reasons. The approaching Newroz celebrations, or Kurdish New Years, were slated to take place a mere 2 days after this attack in the contentious Taksim Gezi Park so recently after the resumption of military and legal hostilities between Kurdish groups and aligned leftists and the Turkish government headed by the AK Party of President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄan. This decision most certainly would promise demonstrations and conflict between security forces and civil society around the right to the contentious park, and against the war on the Kurds both in Syria and Turkey by ErdoÄan's government.
Besides the 26A cafes, DAF includes an Anarchist Women's collective, a publishing project in the form of the Meydan Gazette (published monthly in paper form), and a youth collective, the Lycee (or High School) Anarchist Federation called LAF. In addition it organizes arts events and projects, and participates in labor organizing and solidarity with Kurdish resistance and the Rojava Revolution. DAF also organizes in tandem though autonomously with anti-militarist and anti-conscription activists in Turkey.
Merve is an active member of the Meydan Gazette publishing crew, the Anarchist Women's collective and also in a seperate but related anti-militarist group. Hüseyin is a main editor of the Meydan Gazette and involved in the 26A cafes. Ãzgür is involved in Meydan & the self-defense program and the PATIKA ecological collective.
Throughout this first hour: Merve, Hüseyin & Ãzgür talk about the collectivized economic and living structures of DAF and how that pans out to support collective members and build collectivized models for survival within and against capitalism.
If you would like to hear the extended version of this interview, please visit our website at https://thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org/ or go to the radio4all link and download the version labeled "podcast".
In the second hour, labeled DAF2, you'll hear the activists talk about:
PATIKA Ecological Collective and their publication, organizing with communities in the Black Sea region against a hydro-electric dam, and more;
Merve's work with the Conscientious Objector Association against militarism and conscription; Meydan Gazette and their other publication projects; the modern anarchist movement in Turkey since 1989; solidarity with Kurdish populations in Turkey; organizing material support for the Rojava Revolution and aiding in helping anarchists join the struggle there; and more.

====================================================
Sean Swain speaks about a comrade of his in his facility, a trans woman who was put away for defending herself against an assaulter. Her government name is Adam Bockerstette, and while she can receive mail under her chosen name (which is Kara), we were unsure about how to spell that. So if you do choose to write to her, your letters can be addressed to Kara Bockerstette, but note that your envelopes should be addressed to:
Adam Bockerstette

PO Box 120
Lebanon, OH 45036
Also keep an eye peeled at http://seanswain.org/ for more updates about Kara and her situation.
=====================================================
Good news for our comrade on the inside, Oso Blanco, who was sentenced to 80 years in maximum security prison for a series of bank robberies and a firearms violation. Oso Blanco is someone of Cherokee descent, and has been politicized during his time in prison and before. Recently there has been a massive fundraising effort on the part of his support team to get him transferred out of his former facility, and for legal fees to get his sentenced reduced. Both of these efforts have been successful!
Thanks to fundraising efforts and donations, they have reached their fundraising goal at this time. Of course, money will always be needed until Oso Blanco is completely free - donations are always welcome. The support in donations and spreading the word was fast and amazing! Oso Blanco has been assigned a lawyer who he feels comfortable with and he is moving quickly to make sure the motion is filed by June 25th, 2016. Communication with Oso Blanco has been iffy at best. Please write him to show support. If you donated, write and let him know as it will help immensely to raise his spirits. If you would like to donate further, and for guidelines on what mail will and won't get into his facility, you can visit his support website at: http://freeosoblanco.blogspot.com/
To write Oso Blanco at his new location, you can address letters to:

Proletarian God: Building the Socialist Future Part 2
June 11, 2016, 10:35 p.m.
In this episode of Back in the USSR I continue to discuss my book, Proletarian God: Building the Socialist Future, focusing in particular on class consciousness and how the ruling class in capitalist society instills false consciousness in the working people it oppresses and exploits: "Just because the working man or woman is materially bound to oppose the interests of the capitalist does not necessarily spur him or her to actively work for the overthrow of a class system that keeps working class people in bondage. From the rise of slavery in the early years of civilization, to the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of the modern world, those who support the interests of the ruling elite have understood their dependence on the labor of the masses and have worked tirelessly to keep working people divided, repressed, weak, docile, indoctrinated, in conflict with one another, and unaware of their shared class interests in opposing the overlords who keep them in chains."
Rev. Susie the Floozie's Greatest Tits Show
June 11, 2016, 10:12 p.m.
Tonight, Evil Susie and I go plunging into the vaults to create a show so recursive it violates the space-time continuum into an inflamed anal ring! You will actually hear a rerun of a rerun that is once again being rerun--but considering these gems are from the first three years of the FUNHOUSE (I'm talkin' BSTFs #39, #61, #101, #135...), chances are good you haven't heard this stuff before. It's a night of famous burns--like my too-snarky Anti-Olympics rant from 1996 along with my richly rewarding trolling burnjob on Doktor Legume! Payback was a bitch as I got revenge for pulling that death hoax on us in 1997. Believe me, seekers, I got that fucker GOOD for all of us--and I unwittingly did it thanks to ZONTAR(!!) (loooong before we ever met!), whose Christian Kook Kiddy Show vid provided me with Legume's shocking xtian "testimony."
So welcome to WEIRDSVILLE, courtesy of George Ross and the Red Tops! We also have Wazmo Nariz with "Stubbies," Race Marbles and his lovely nonsense rap-patter song "Like a Dribbling Fram," and a particular favorite theme of mine by Bob Lee called "Wanted for Questioning"... "MAN! How she LIES!!!"

Rev. Susie the Floozie's "American Junk Culture" Show
June 11, 2016, 4:49 p.m.
Going all the way back to BSTF #466, tonight's show features no heavy lifting! Well, at least for you--it took an all-nighter-and-most-of-the-dayer to put it to rights, but it was eminently worth it. Tonight we analyze the horrible crap that pours out of your radio speakers when you have it tuned to the WRONG station--that pervasive mainstream ooze that you can't entirely escape no matter how hard you try! The dinosaurs of rock will crush you underfoot while idiots hold up their lighters and shout for "'Freebird!!'" With some classic perspective provided by The Simpsons, Jimmy Swaggart, Jack Van Impe, Brother Maze Jackson, the Holy Ghost Players, Del Close from "How to Speak Hip," traveling rock-music scare preacher Tom Garguilo milking his stint as a temporary ringer in Wild Cherry (the "Play That Funky Music White Boy" band--he's not listed in any official Wild Cherry stuff online, but he is mentioned in this guy's blog from when he did the church-scam circuit--http://sirkowski.tumblr.com/post/102541454199/ghastly-h-crackers-sirkowski). And there are songs like "Caped Crusader" by lesbian guitarist Phranc, "Alternateen" by Wally Pleasant, and...and...and SHIT. I don't know--I was up to my eyeballs in soundwaves taking out pops, but it was on a subatomic level and I'll be fucked if I can remember what more of the songs were. I guess we'll find out together.

Building Bridges: Equality for NY Farmworkers
June 10, 2016, 10:49 a.m.
Farmworkers Declare, We Put the Food on Your Table - Isn t It Time We Got to Share in the Bounty?
featuring
. Pablo Cruz and Heriberto Gonzalez NYS farm workers
. Rev. Richard Witt, Executive Director Rural & Migrant Ministry
. State Senator Adriano Espaillat
. NYS Assemblywoman Cathy Nolan
. Cardinal Timothy Dolan
. Kerry Kennedy, Pres., Robert Kennedy Center for Human Rights
. Jose Calderon, President, Hispanic Federation
Hey, what about the fact that those who grow the food that feeds us, farmworkers don t get even one day a week off to rest after from their toil? And, they don t have the right to organize and bargain collectively; nor are there basic standards under the Sanitary Code for farmworkers living quarters; nor do farmworkers get unemployment pay when they re laid off or terminated; and they re not entitled to workers compensation if they re injured on the job; nor can they receive disability benefits when they are unable to work due to illness or injury. And, they sure do not receive overtime pay when they are forced to work more than an eight hour day. Why is this? Well, in the 1930s, farmworkers and domestic workers were left out of the New Deal due to pressure from the descendants of slaveholders. Eighty years later, farmworkers remain excluded from fundamental labor protections and benefits in New York and now they re marching throughout NYS with the Rural and Migrant Ministry to end this injustice and demand that the state senate and Gov. Cuomo bring the Farmworkers Fair Labor Practices Act to the floor for a vote to be included in basic labor rights afforded other workers.

Out of the Woods - Show #323 - 6-18-16
June 10, 2016, 8:16 a.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
