Trapped in a World of White Sociopolitical Values, Which Way is Up?
July 26, 2016, 3:20 p.m.
TheAngryindian speaks upon the obvious ideological and sociopolitical barriers between the Black Liberation struggle and mainstream White Liberalism and how this conundrum continues to serve as a dividing-line between the two communities. TheAngryindian argues that White Liberals are primarily responsible for the rise of both the neo-Nazi supported Republican Party candidate Donald Trump and the 'Super-predator' racialism of Democratic Party 'choice' Hillary Clinton â chiefly â because when ethnic minorities, Africans in particular, have stood-up against institutional racism in North American society, politically liberal Caucasians and ethnic assimilationists have worked to stifle effective dissent. Essentially, if White Americans were at all serious about combating White racism and xenophobia, the last thing they would be doing is telling the victims of racism to 'Tone it down', or 'Shut up' when confronted with odds no White European would be expected to suffer silently. EXTRAS: A short message from the late Sandra Bland and an archived interview with Robert F. Williams, author of 'Negroes with Guns' (1962) while living in exile in Tanzania.

interviews Bruce Dixon from Black Agenda Report
July 26, 2016, 10 a.m.
In a world of multiple intersections of poverty, war, violence, the MSM would paint a world that just crazy and out of control. However violence is productive when it becomes an everyday occurrence people stop thinking about how it limits their other freedoms.
On this weeks show Host Stuart Richardson interviews Managing Editor of the Black Agenda Report Bruce Dixon, As a rank and file member of the Black Panther Party in 1969-1970, a 1970s rank-and-file union activist in a string of factories, plants and workplaces, a 1980s community organizer in what were then some of the nationâs poorest neighborhoods, to organizing and consulting through the 1990s Dixon has built an impressive record of service in and to the cause of human liberation.
We speak about this moment in US history with rise of Black Lives matter, the recent police shootings and how to gage the recent election cycle with the unappealing choices of Trump or Clinton.

From Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, Arjun Makhijani (Part ONE of TWO)
July 25, 2016, 8 p.m.
Arjun Makhijani is an extraordinary and rare mix of nuclear scientist, historian and socially engaged philosopher. I'm presenting him every two years because his analysis is embedded in rarely scrutinized facts and remains shockingly timely:
Disarmament is more urgently needed now that nuclear weapons have spread far beyond the original weapons states and there are even voices in Japan today that call for nuclear weapons. And Makhijani shows that we can only find the path back from the abyss if we are clear and honest about how nuclear weapons were invented and first used. And there is much information in this talk that has been shunned or kept secret.
Questions raised in this part are: Why was the US fleet moved from San Diego to Pearl Harbor? Does the Japanese attack have anything to do with the US oil embargo? What were the original goals of the Manhattan Project and why and when were they changed? And who was in charge of this secret program when even the US Vice President or the generals responsible for WWII did not know.

This week we spoke with Alex about Bend the Bars conference which is
taking place in Columbus OH on the weekend of August 26th-29th. This is a
gathering which was called for in direct support for the September 9th
national prisoner work strike, and is one of the only gatherings that we
know of which explicitly centers the work of people doing direct
support with incarcerated folks as opposed to NGOs and non profits. In
this conversation we speak about the intentions for the conference as
well touching on the prison condition in the US, the National Work
Strike, and many other things.
You can learn more about this event by visiting https://bendthebars.noblogs.org/, and you can RSVP to this event or correspond with the organizers by emailing bendthebars@riseup.net
And, to visit the news sources that our guest mentioned, and to learn
more about the upcoming national prisoner work strike to be called on
September 9th, you can visit the following websites:

their families.

But first here is an announcement regarding AntiFenix by our comrades in the so called Czech Republic:
"Last week the appeal court hearing took place in the High Court in
Prague. Russian, vegan, straight-edge anarchist Igor Å evcov, who was
appealing his sentence â a 2 year expulsion from the Czech Republic for
video recording someone else graffitiing prison walls during a support
demonstration (complicity to criminal damage) â was given a new
sentence.
The judgement remained the same â the high court still finds him
complicit in criminal damage, but the judge changed the penalty. The new
sentence: Igor is banned from attending any sporting or cultural event
or any event like a manifestation, demonstration, benefit, mobilization,
protest or any other action within the anarchist movement.
We do not know yet what it means exactly, but itâs likely that Igor will
have to visit a probation office any time there is a big action, and he
will be surveilled during any other event by under cover state agents
and spies. If he violates his sentence he can be put behind bars for up
to 3 years.
We do not know if Igor will follow this sentence, try to oppose it
legally or just follow his own agenda and feelings and see what happens
in the future. In any case, he has our full support.
If you want to support Igor, rather than congratulating him on his
âbetterâ sentence, ask him what kind of support he needs, for he is in a
very uncomfortable situation. And mostly, keep changing your
environment into a world where repression, exclusion and borders are
exchanged for mutual solidarity and freedom."
To learn more about this situation, you can visit their support website at https://antifenix.noblogs.org

Alongside this week's episode we have an hour long conversation with
organizers of the June 26th antifascist rally in Sacramento, CA, that
routed the attempted organizing on the Capitol Steps by white nationalist
groups, the Traditionalist Workers Party and the Golden State Skinheads
(among other groups). The TWP & GSS rally was an attempt to take
symbolic space and inspire further and more public demonstrations by
these and affiliated groups however the 40 members who showed up were
quickly routed by the diverse antifa numbering 400 or so. In the
ensuing fracas, 9 antifa were hospitalized, most serious among them for
stab wounds. During the hour long podcast, hear 3 organizers talk about
medic preparation, what the event looked like, media responses,
post-confrontation security for those hospitalized and more. It's well
worth noting that money is still being raised to help cover medical
costs of those injured on June 26th. To help, you can visit
https://rally.org/June26th .

While national coverage continues surround reactions to police killings
of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Philando Castile in Minneapolis, and
so many other people of color, and significantly black men killed by
police, protests continue here in Asheville around the police killing of
Jai "Jerry" Williams on July 2nd of this year. Jai was shot 7 times and
killed by Sgt. Tyler Radford at the Deaverview Apartments in West
Asheville on July 2nd. Since then family, community members and
activists have continued acting in public to make sure the police
account of what happened July 2nd does not go unchallenged. This
activity includes presenting a different version of the story, working
to support family and make space for their needs, marches downtown,
flyering, interceding at public meetings, vigils outside of the
Asheville Police HQ and also a sit-in that ran for about 36 hours in the
HQ lobby and leading to the arrest of 7 on July 22nd. The demands of
the sit-in included the firing, arrest and indictment of Sgt. Radford
for the murder of Jai Williams.
Support and resistance events continue. If you're in the Asheville area
and want to help out and draw attention to the case and bring home the
message that this touristic mountain town suffers the same plague as the
rest of the U.S. in terms of police unaccountability and systemic
racism, you can join folks in the streets in vigil outside of the
downtown police headquarters at the daily vigils at 6pm and plug in.
Much respect to those resisting, solidarity with the family. Shut it down.
