The Project for the New American Century (ONE of TWO)

The enduring power of the Neo-conservative movement in the US The program opens with the peace poem: "Speak Out" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, features General John Allen's endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president with Bernie Sanders supporters shouting "no more war"; and ends with a reading by SF Mime Troupe founder R.G. Davis from the bone chilling neo-con plan for US global military dominance. The original 2003 program by TUC Radio was an appeal for peace and a disclosure of a well guarded document "Rebuilding America's Defenses, Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New American Century". The document was commissioned by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and others in the year 2000, before any of them were in government. Named in the text are the countries to be invaded: Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and maybe also Iran and North Korea. The document also stated that the American people would never agree to such a military global dominance project unless there was an event that galvanized public opinion - such as a new Pearl Harbor. The think tank, the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), that produced this blueprint was founded in 1997 by William Kristol and Robert Kagan, to this day prominent leaders in the Neo-Conservative movement. The document has become important today because Robert Kagan was appointed as an adviser by Hillary Clinton when she became Secretary of State. Clinton also hired Kagan's wife, Victoria Nuland, as her spokesperson. Nuland had previously served as a top aide to Vice President Cheney. Victoria Nuland, by her own admission, was personally involved in the recent regime change in Ukraine. In February 2016, Kagan gave Clinton his formal endorsement for President. Both are expected to take on important roles in a Hillary Clinton administration.

Kate Zerrenner on the Rio Olympics

If you’ve been tuning into the Olympics in Rio this week, you’ve probably watched your fair share of inspirational profiles of athletes. You may also have been following some of the stories emerging out of Brazil about the corruption, poor environmental stewardship, and social justice transgressions surrounding the Olympics. It’s enough to make the most ardent sports fan a little ambivalent. In Rio, athletes will be swimming or sailing in water that is literally crappy — some athletes may be taking home gold, silver, bronze, or just hepatitis. It may turn out that the more emotional story is not an athlete profile, but one of environmental malfeasance and social injustice — it tugs at the heartstrings, alright, but not in the way that NBC had hoped. This week on Sea Change Radio, we take a deep dive into some of the issues surrounding the thirty-first Olympiad as we are joined by Kate Zerrenner of the Environmental Defense Fund.

Why Does Israel Get Away with Its outrageous illegal Behavior?

Jeff Halper's latest book is "War Against the People: Israel, the Palestinians and Global Pacification." In this wide-ranging interview, Halper asks, rhetorically, why Israel continues to get away with its outrageous and illegal behavior. His answer: a universe of shared interests and interdependency among the U.S. and Israeli weapons makers, police militarists, and "security" forces. Essentially, they have an incestuous relationship. You, I, and the Palestinians don't matter. Israel has learned about war against people (as opposed to wars against nations). It develops the art, develops the weapons, and tries them out. It's a high-tech leader, producing more and more vicious weapons, surveillance, and repression technology, thoroughly tested - on Palestinians. These are prized by repressive governments everywhere, especially our own. U.S. police recruits go to Israel for training. They come back equipped with assault weapons. That's what accommodates the rampant militarization of U.S. police. The real bosses of the world love and nurture Israel, and Israel loves and helps them. As Halper explains, that's why they can exploit and murder Palestinians without challenge. This interview was originally aired last spring, but deserves more attention. Here it is again, lightly edited.

Ilan Pappé and Jonathan Cook - Israel and South Africa, the many faces of Apartheid

Ilan Pappé, the Israeli new historian, has edited a new book titled Israel and South Africa, The Many Faces of Apartheid. Today’s presentation on This Week In Palestine features Ilan and the author of one of the chapters in the book, British journalist Jonathan Cook, now living in Nazareth. (His chapter: "Visible equality as a confidence trick.") They discuss the nuances of apartheid. Increasingly, Israel is being referred to as an apartheid state, a state that has created a discriminatory society, by law, a state that specifies rights, benefits and advantages for its Jewish population that are not available to others of its citizens or residents, a “legal” separatist state. Some fifty Israeli laws secure this separatism. It is often compared to apartheid South Africa. In this book the similarities and differences between the two apartheid regimes are compared and analyzed. One significant difference: Israel's population essentially invaded, sacked, and continues to militarily occupy what's left of Palestine. This demolishes the often-heard canard that "the two sides" should just sit down together and negotiate. By contrast, the South African constituencies were both native to the land. The United Nations Apartheid Convention declares that apartheid is a crime against humanity and that “inhuman acts resulting from the policies and practices of apartheid and similar policies and practices of racial segregation and discrimination” are international crimes. Here we explore modern apartheid in Israel, condoned, indeed supported by the United States, in contrast to attempts here to bury our own Jim Crow legacy. Our presentation begins with an introduction of the issue and of the participants by one of Ilan Pappé’s doctoral students, Yara Hawari.

Reflections on antifa & anti-racist organizing against White Nationalists on June 26th in Sacramento, CA

This weeks episode features a Sean Swain segment on the continuation of slavery in the U.S. via the prison system, an announcement (to follow) about ongoing strife at Holman CI in Alabama and a longer conversation about the June 26th anti-racist counterdemo that happened in Sacramento, CA by some organizers involved. On June 26th, 2016, groups including the Traditionalist Workers Party, Golden State Skinheads and other White Nationalist and Alt-Right / Third Positionist groups attempted to hold a demonstration on the steps of the CA capitol in Sacramento. The reactionaries amassed about 2 dozen supporters behind police lines while their opposition numbered around 400 who ran them the F out. In the resulting fracas, 9 anti-racist demonstrators were stabbed and hospitalized. In the next hour, we'll hear most of a conversation with folks involved in organizing the call-out to counter the racists, folks who did medic preparation, media and legal support. In the aftermath, racists continued making online threats to finish the job, so the organizers offered protection for the hospitalized stabbing victims as well. Due to time constraints, we couldn't air the whole conversation in this episode, but you can hear it in its entirety here: http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/87575 To offer support to those hospitalized, you can donate here: https://rally.org/June26th For a recent article on the alt-right from an anarchist perspective, check out Peak Alt-Right on It's Going Down: https://itsgoingdown.org/peak-alt-right-far-right-already-lost/ ==================================== Also, from It's Going Down: Inmates at Holman in Alabama took over a dorm on August 1st, setting fires, and initially resisting the CERT team which was brought in to suppress the uprising. At this time, it remains unclear if the revolt has been completely put down, or if it is continuing. Mainstream media reports that guards have restored order but rebels on the inside have yet to describe the entire scene. The revolt began when several prisoners and at least 1 CO were injured in an altercation which lead to this most recent riot. As the altercation moved from fight to riot, a barricade was set up as the Cert Team arrived. The barricade was put in place in the C Dorm, which houses 114 prisoners. Power and water were shut off after the dorm was taken and the entire prison was put on lockdown. According to media reports, the revolt began around 3pm and last for about 6 hours, when CERT team officers entered back into the dorm without incident. As stated prior, it remains to be seen if this was, or is, the actual case. Prisoners through various channels with outside anarchist rebels and members of support organizations are calling for news of this resistance to be spread. This is only the most recent in a series of rebellions at the prison, and it will not be the last! Those outside the prison walls are encouraged to get in touch with prisoners and get organized to support them. In March of this year, the facility erupted in several rounds of riots and the stabbing of the warden, as inmates set fire to guard towers and took over dorm areas. The riots took place over the period of several days and brought a spotlight to the horrible conditions in the facility and also the growing radical movement of prisoners to organize against their conditions, which includes groups such as the Free Alabama Movement (FAM). This latest riot also occurs against a backdrop of the fast approaching general strike of prisoners across the US on September 9th. On that day, prisoners have stated that they will strike against prison slavery; under the 13th Amendment, prisoners can legally be worked for free or next to nothing. This unpaid work generates massive profits for multi-national corporations and the US government and military. Prisoners are vowing to shut down prison facilities and refuse to work, as support organizations on the outside have vowed to act in solidarity. ================================= Playlist: http://www.ashevillefm.org/node/17136
