#417 -- Obey and Keep Calm, Part 1 (R)

Temujin Doran's film, "Obey: How the Rise of Mass Propaganda Killed Populism," adapted to radio. It's about the military, political, and economic crimes of the Corporate State. It features readings from from Chris Hedges' 2010 book, "Death of the Liberal Class." This week we'll hear the first half of "Obey" and then also--to cheer things up a bit--a sweet short film by Doran on the poster and slogan, "Keep calm and carry on."

UNControllables: UNC Chapel Hill anarchist student group on organizing, austerity & community

This week, Bursts spoke with members of the University of Chapel Hill-based student group called The UNControllables. Created in 2012, the UNControllables regularly present anarchist, feminist, anti-racist and anti-authoritarian presenters from around the world to speak to the student body and members of the community, organize around student issues, incarceration, reproductive health, and much more. For the hour, members of the group talk about what they've done and upcoming events they'll be hosting, in particular an upcoming event with CeCe McDonald, a Black Trans Woman & LGBTQ activist who went to prison for defending herself against a hate attack by a white man with a swastika tattoo on his chest and served about 19 months. She'll be at UNC Chapel Hill at the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture & History for free on Monday, March 21st at 7pm. Check the UNControllables's fedbook page for details and updates: http://www.facebook.com/carolinaUncontrollables A major focus of the discussion is the student and faculty opposition to the incoming president of the UNC systems, Margaret Spellings (#SpellCheck) this Tuesday at 11AM. The UNControllables knew of students at 7 of the 17 universities in the UNC system where student walkouts would lead to teach-ins and or protests around privatization of education and university services, threats to the continued cultures of Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU) and Native Universities in the UNC system. Spellings past as former Secretary of Education under President George W. Bush and was a prime mover in the No Student Left Behind project, a former Senior Advisor at the Boston Consulting Group, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a former Board member of the University of Phoenix (facing lawsuits by former students), advisor to Ceannate (a for-profit student loan collection agency)... wow. There's also a discussion of current relations between UNC system and faculty, adjuncts and employees in these times of growing precarity. Aramark Industries, which provides "services" within the many prisons, detention centers and jails around the U.S. produces the food at UNC Chapel Hill, interestingly. Some faculty and adjuncts in the UNC system have been organizing under the name of Faculty Forward: https://www.facebook.com/facultyforwardnc We also present a couple of announcements: Anarchist prisoner Eric King has accepted a non-cooperating plea deal, which he;ll sign on March 3rd. If you're in Kansas City, MO & want to attend his hearing on Thursday at 1:30pm (or for other updates on his case) check out http://supportericking.wordpress.com A request for letters supporting parole for accused former Black Liberation Army militant and New Afrikan activist and accupuncturist, Dr. Mutulu Shakur (written by the doctor) is up on http://mutulushakur.com along with information of his recent denial of release after serving 30 years since his arrest on February 12th, 1986. Thursday, March 3rd at 6pm at Firestorm , 610 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC 28806, the Political Prisoners Letter Writing Night will be holding a do-over for the January 22nd Trans Prisoner Day of Solidarity letter-writing night that was cancelled due to snow storms.

Black History Month: Political Prisoners

Back in the USSR welcomes home comrade Albert Woodfox of the Black Panther Party after he endured 43 years of solitary confinement at the hands of the racist colonial capitalist state in America. Albert Woodfox, Geronimo Pratt, Fred Hampton Jr, Herman Bell, Anthony Bottom, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Eddie Conway, and too many others who struggled for liberation have faced the most brutal repression at the hands of a state that tried to erase them from history. But they would not be silenced, nor would they be broken. As Ho Chi Minh used to say, when the prison gates open, the dragon will fly out.

Edward Said examines and debunks the "Clash of Civilizations" myth

In our political discourse these days, we constantly hear that at the base of the conflict in the Middle East is a clash of civilizations. This theory, espoused by Harvard professors Bernard Lewis and Samuel Huntington in essays and books, claims that at the heart of the conflict is the fundamental difference between eastern and western cultures and values, and of course argues for the superiority of western Civilization. At the base of the Islamaphobic and anti-Arab speech in the media and at the center of so much of our vitriolic political discourse these days, is the emphasis of our cultural differences, and that we must dominate those inferior cultures lest they somehow take us over. It is they or we and this poisonous analysis can only lead to war and has. It is the Clash of Civilizations mantra and it is everywhere in our political discourse these days. Our feature presentation this morning offers a different vision. However, it was given 18 years ago in 1998 by the late Columbia Professor Edward Said in a lecture at the University of Massachusetts. He challenges what he calls the Myth of The Clash of Civilizations, and if only we had listened to him and sought to emphasize the commonality of our civilizations as well as the differences. Edward Said, perhaps the leading Palestinian intellectual of his time, died in 2003, but his prophetic voice offers special relevance in the current political scene, and that is why it is our feature presentation today. Here is Prof. Edward Said speaking on the Myth of the so-called "Clash of Civilizations."

The Ghost of Enoch Powell and the Transcendental neo-Nazism of Donald Trump

TheAngryindian engages in Afro-Indigenist flavoured spoken word to address the Trump train to Nazi-ville and why so many Africans, Native Americans and US Jews seem to be sleep-walking through the North American election cycle as the GOP becomes the 'new' American Nazi Party. TheAngryindian argues that it isn't as if we haven't seen this film played out many times before and that it makes absolutely no sense to ignore that many US citizens (not all of them Caucasian) are supporting a presidential candidate endorsed by the Ku Klan Klan terrorist group, American neo-Nazi and international fascist organisations and professional White Nationalists like Dr. David Duke. It also makes no sense that the DNC has not called this situation what it is, an attempt to institute a right-wing Euro-Supremacist super-state in North America that is also being conspicuously aided by a pro-fascist, corporate-owned US media. The question is: Is it possible for the masses to admit to themselves that if they had corrected and not codded their bigoted relatives and associates in the recent past, the spectres of Enoch Powell, Alf Garnett, Archie Bunker (Alf's American cousin) and other archaic caricatures of bygone ignorant eras who suffer from various forms of White Privilege and exceptionalism would not have lead to a Donald Trump personifying a new form of North American-styled fascism ? EXTRAS: Archived public radio interview with anti-fascist political analyst Chip Berlet is offered along with poetry from Afro-American voice, the late Amiri Baraka (formerly LeRoi Jones) and disinformational audio excerpts of a particularly Judeophobic rant by radical neo-Nazi Donald Trump backer David Duke being drowned-out by righteous, Ashkenazi Klezmer. All this and much more on, 4WR. The official internet radio broadcast of the Aboriginal Press News Service/ANG

Setbacks in Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina. The Future of the Left in South America

Argentina. Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia. All over South America, it seems that left of centre governments are losing their grip on the popular imaginations of their people. Do these developments signal the left's fall from grace on the continent? This week's Global Research News Hour focuses on South American politics, partcularly the gains and losses of the Left of Centre political parties and movements. In the first interview, prominent commentator, and award-winning author, Professor James Petras outlines the background that led to this situation and the efforts needed moving forward to preserve the gains of the left. A Bolivian activist, Sara Paulina Jauregui, joins us next to talk about why many Bolivians rejected the constitutional changes championed in a referendum recently. The show concludes with a return appearance by John Ahniwanika Schertow, editor and founder of Intercontinental Cry. He talks about the ways these leftist governments have failed Indigenous peoples, even comparing the Morales Government at one point to the government of former Conservative Canadian Prime MInister Stephen Harper!

What US Congress Researchers Reveal About Washington's Designs On Syria.

The White House has given many phony reasons for demanding regime change in Syria, saying they want stability, or reform, or to prevent the use of chemical weapons. While these reasons have been laughed at by observers who note Washington’s fondness for monarchs and its history of destabilizing sovereign countries, Stephen Gowans points out there is in fact a “reason”, one that is clearly spelled out in the records of the Congressional Research Service. America intends to remove Assad as an “impediment” to Israel’s hegemony in the region and to convert Syria from a “Soviet model” into a free market economy.
