US has a lot to learn from Cuba
March 26, 2016, 10:35 a.m.
President Obama visited Cuba, met Cuban leaders, attended a baseball game and gave a couple of patronizing speeches about human rights and the road to economic development.
It has been almost 100 years since an American President has been to Cuba, but the tone and presumption have not changed much, except that now Cuba is an independent country that values its sovereignty and respects international law. While Obamaâs trip gave the impression that trade embargoes (imposed by Washington) would be lifted, many obstacles still exist on the American side.
Cuba is well aware that the old habits of US hegemony have not changed.

Radovan Karadzic's conviction for genocide and war crimes brings to mind the US's disastrous "humanitarian Intervention" in Bosnia and Serbia in the 1990s--and more recent disastrous interventions in Libya and Syria. In almost every case in recent history, "humanitarian intervention" has been a pretext for aggression by a major power. Brief reflections by KD are followed by a fine talk, on the same subject, by NOAM CHOMSKY.

Dorthy Holmes speaks about the loss she struggles to deal with following the murder of her child by a Chicago cop and the
cover up that has followed due to the policy of Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, and the States Attorney, Anita Alverez, of supporting the Police Code of Silence.
Attorney Alverez lost her bid to be reelected in the March 2016 primary because of her record of covering up police crimes against Blacks and Hispanics which gained notoriety following the murder of Laquan McDonald and the forced release of the police video of the shooting.

Dr. Norma Field on the Human Element
March 24, 2016, 12:18 p.m.
BACKGROUND:
This year marks two milestone anniversaries in the long history of nuclear tragedy. Unlike all other kinds of disasters, where, after fires are put out, rubble cleared, and bodies buried, nuclear disasters continue to âkeep on givingâ long after those activities are completed. As one Russian doctor put it at a conference for the 20th anniversary of Chornobyl, "The accident is over. The catastrophe is just beginning." Such is the case with both Chornobyl and Fukushima. Both stand as stark reminders of the extraordinary downsides to the Nuclear Age, and offer lessons we ignore at our peril.
Dr. Norma Field is professor emeritus from the University of Chicago Dept. of East Asian Studies. She is Japanese, and frequently returns for Japan for visits and conferences relating to nuclear issues. She will be reporting on her recent visit to Japan and the situation in the areas around the Fukushima disaster zone. In her presentation she questions U.S. industry and military radiation experiments on humans and the corruption of scientific and societal integrity integral to the
development and continuance of nuclear arms and power.

Yes--Bob"'s Coming to Take Me Away, HAHAAAAA!!! Don't you hate it when the title gives away the whole plot? I've got even MOAR insanity for you!
I did an extensive retool of the Mind 02 show (BSTF #473) and added some choice chunks to make a psychotic swill that will churn up chunks from the bottom of your brainpan! Featuring the CREEPIEST INSANITY SONG EVAR, "Psycho" by Eddie Nowak (not the one by some coarse, drunken redneck--this one is by the quiet REALLY CRAZY young guy). We've got Swelling Itching Brains, psycho-self-help albums by Dr Frances Stern and Dr Murray Banks (Jayne Mansfield's shrink who had a cabaret comedy act), a drug-scare LP called LSD: BATTLE FOR THE MIND where the T-square-straight narrator refers to them as "hah-loose-in-OH-jens." And the show is capped off with an excruciating 8:30 version of "They're Coming to Take Me Away, HAHAAAAA!!!" by Jello Biafra with LARD.

UN Sanctions Against North Korea are Wrong
March 24, 2016, 7:41 a.m.
The US military stages âannualâ war games near the border of North Korea. This year the tactical goal of the âgamesâ was to decapitate the leadership of North Korea and to strike nuclear and missile centers. When North Korea responded to the games with a clear statement of their willingness to do battle with America, using all its available weapons the western media followed its practice of annual demonization of North Korea.
Steve Gowans points up the flawed approach of the UN Security Council and stresses that US occupation of South Korea and the effort to encircle China are at the heart of the problem.
March 24, 2016, 7:39 a.m.
Despite chummy meetings in Washington between Obama and Trudeau and international agreements to reduce global warming, there is very little real progress being made. David Barsamian argues that the struggle to preserve the environment must stay clear of leadership photo-ops and symbolic gestures.
