Out of the Woods - Show #329 - 7-30-16
July 21, 2016, 7:47 p.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

Blowing the whistle on the U.S. drone program
July 21, 2016, 2:33 p.m.
Christopher Aaron worked for the CIA on the U.S. drone program. After a while, he began realizing how wrong it is and quit. Finally, he gathered up his courage and began speaking out publicly, despite little or no protection under the Whistleblower Protection Act.
In a program titled Drones: Killing Innocents and Stoking War, he spoke 5-5-2016 at the Cambridge Public Library, Central Square Branch (Cambridge, MA). He took care to avoid revealing so-called classified information. Nonetheless the story Christopher tells is riveting, and it clearly calls for action.

Press Conference - Police Accountability through Civilian Control
July 20, 2016, 10:08 a.m.
Alderman Carlos Rosa of the 35th Ward announces his support for the Civilian Police Accountability Council (CPAC) Ordinance that would place control of the Chicago Police Department under an elected board of civilians with the power to end police impunity, re-write the police rule book, submit CPD's budget to the City Council and approve contracts with the police unions. Frank Chapman of the Chicago Alliance to End Racist and Political Oppression and CPAC organizer speaks about the campaign. He is followed by Reverend Catherine Brown who was terrorized at gun point by two Chicago police and Mark Clements who as a juvenile was tortured into a false confession during the years that Commander John Burge was torturing blacks into confessing to capital crimes. Clements raises the failure of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services to protect children under its supervision from police sexual misconduct and torture
and calls for an extension of the Statue of Limitations, as was done for children abused by Catholic priests, to allow victims now coming forward to obtain justice.

Bangash talks about Fethullah Gulen and some of the other key figures who were likely involved in the effort to seize power from President Erdogan of Turkey. Clearly the Turkish leadership is now in a political dilemma. Erdogan has demanded the US turn over Gulen but the US shows no intention to do so. And the suspicion is that the US and Saudi Arabia want to get rid of Erdogan, who has shown a willingness to get along with Russia and perhaps ânormalizeâ relations with Syria. The stakes are very high, but it should not be long before we know which direction the Turkish leader will take.
