Civilianism #20 / Bridges and Freedom
Monday 8/6/2007
3:00pm - repeat 10:00pm
If a bridge falls in Minneapolis, does it make a sound Republicans can hear? Bridges collapsing, infrastructure crumbling, yet Republican politicians won’t raise taxes and fix things because they’re selfish and greedy. More signs of greed include telling 22,000 Iraq veterans they have personality disorders, separating them from the military and denying them their medical benefits. What is wrong with Republicans? They also start wars just to spread killing and chaos, not freedom or democracy, so that in the ensuing chaos they can grab control of natural resources.
Bush’s bizarre behavior during his first press conference with Prime Minister Gordon Brown should be grounds enough for a finding of a pre-existing personality disorder. Can we separate him from the U.S. government?
Jeff of the podcast GOP Exposed called in a long voicemail about slavery and his theory as to why we invade other countries.
Then I go way off script and rant about the occupation in Iraq for a bit. It felt good, though I stick to my promise to remain un-hysterical, unlike many Republican broadcasters. I’m so sick of the occupation of Iraq and the administration’s excuses and constantly evolving reasoning I’m afraid I’m becoming numb to it. Getting angry helps keep me focused on how wrong and immoral the invasion was and the occupation is. Please don’t get numb to it because then apathy sets in. We have to end our involvement in Iraq as soon as possible and remain dedicated to that.
This podcast also plays a portion of the Jon Elliot radio show featuring the story of Mark and Deborah Kuhn, who had an unfortunate run-in with the law concerning their American flag. Their story includes a strange encounter with an Iraq war veteran.
The Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office arrested activists Mark and Deborah Kuhn in West Asheville Wednesday morning after a complaint that the couple was desecrating an American flag. They say a deputy invaded their home and used excessive force.

Kurt Vonnegut
Where recorded: New York, NY
Date recorded: 23 Feb 2003
While attending university in the mid 70s, I probably spent more time reading the novels of Kurt Vonnegut than my college texts. He was my hero, and has become a cultural icon. His observation of the destructiveness and dehumanization of the 20th century, distilled by his rich imagination and quirky view of events and their time frames, make for delightful reading and listening experiences. His irreverence is palpable, as is his disdain for Bush and the current administration. Asked by a journalist for an idea for a really scary reality TV show, Vonnegut responded, "C Students From Yale, it would stand your hair on end." In his book Hocus Pocus, published in 1990, he wrote, "Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the Universe."
Kurt Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut was an infantryman in WW2 and was captured during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944. He was then taken to a POW camp in Dresden in time to experience the horrific Allied firebombing of the city from the relative safety of an underground meat locker. The destruction wrought was greater than that of Nagasaki. He is now a self-described "fourth-generation German-American living in easy circumstances." He has written over 20 books and ranks among America's most widely read and best loved authors.

MAKING CONTACT - a weekly international radio program
April 11, 2007
3:00 pm & 11;00 pm
Taxes are something we all have to deal with, whether we like it or not. They fund basic infrastructure and much needed social programs. The tax cuts of the Bush administration were supposed to create more jobs and redistribute the wealth for average Americans, but have they?
To find out, we talk with a single mom and a tax fairness advocate to debunk some myths about how wealth is created and what people can do to change tax policy. We also look at how an under-reported union between political conservatives and the Christian right preserves the gap between the haves and have-nots.
Featuring:
Harmony Langford, single mom in Flint, Michigan; Anisha Desai, Deputy Director, United for Fair Economy; Tom McClosky, vice president of government affairs and chief lobbyist of the Family Research Council; Rich Meagher, PhD candidate, City University of New York; Max Sawicky, economist at the Economic Policy Institute.

5:00 pm & 10:00 pm Wed
3:00 pm Thursday
12 noon Saturday
This weeks' Report features the following:
1) Interview with law Professor Bill Quigley regarding two priests he has been representing who were charged with trespassing on a federal facility near Tuscon AZ. The facility teaches torture and interrogation techniques used in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. The priests were caught red handed praying on the base.
The Professor also talks about the continuing dire situation in New Orleans effecting mostly the poor and African-American community and how the government, particularly the federal government, continues to drop the ball.
2) Interview with Ina May Gaskin, world famous midwife and her two friends and associates Helen Knowles and Ping Qiu. Ina May talks about how women are still be subjugated to unnecessary cesarean sections when they could have their babies delivered naturally. Ping Qiu, a Chinese artist living in Berlin and Helen Knowles, an artist and curator from Manchester, England, talk about how their activism for womens' rights and issues is expressed through their art and how their friendship with Ina May influenced their artwork.
3) Interview with civil rights attorney Rose Weber who expresses her concern that the left and progressive movement has unfairly obsessed over Israel and Israel's relationship with the Palestinians. She takes the position that the plight of the Palestinians is more the fault of the Arab nations than Israel

Journalism is in decline. At the pop tabloid end there is "People" magazine. It assigns seven reporters to cover the latest activities of Britney Spears. Then there is the high brow, serious genre. In this realm, powerful seductive forces lure journalists away from actual journalism. A system of perks and privileges keep reporters tethered. If you don't make waves you'll be invited to all the right parties and state dinners, hobnob with the nabobs and muckamucks, and have the president call you by your first name at press conferences. If you step out of line and rock the casbah? Well, you might soon be covering traffic accidents or sports.
P Sainath
P. Sainath is an award-winning journalist who writes about the crisis in the Indian countryside. He is Rural Affairs Editor of "The Hindu," one of India's most important newspapers. "I cover the people who live at the bottom end of the spectrum," he says. He is author of "Everybody Loves a Good Drought: Stories from India's Poorest Districts."

The Citizen Against Lies podcast has been discontinued.
Message from Shelie
It began as a weekly podcast in August of 2005 and I produced 97 original episodes, (or about 102 if you count the enhanced versions.)
Due to the costs and large amount of time and work involved with one person (me) doing everything to produce a long weekly podcast, there is no way I could continue doing it as a free podcast without ads. Donations can’t be counted on, I don’t want to beg, and I don’t think people want to hear a lot of ads. There is really only one other way for the podcast to continue and that is for me to get compensated to do it.
So it’s possible that several months from now, I may start a pay subscription (listener supported or “premium”) political podcast. My only other option as I see it would be to do a podcast that is very short, with no music, no interviews, and no in-depth content. If I decide to do either of those, this is the only place it will be announced.

3:00 pm
11:00 am Saturday
85 - War On Terrorism Truths: More Of BTR's Interview With Bush-Bashing Conservative Scholar / Email: A Listener Starts Converting A Right-Winger!
Bruce Fein, a conservative scholar who's none too happy with George Bush, makes these three points in the concluding part of our interview:
1. the threat level from terrorism is not insignificant, but nowhere near the threat levels we faced in WWII or the Cold War;
2. civil liberties violations are clearly not justified by any such honest evaluation of the threat level; and
3. the civil liberties violations by the Bush administration, along with the Iraq War, have made us less, not more safe, because these violations and the war have expanded the pool of potential terrorists.
In our email segment, a listener relates how a right-winger at work is beginning to see the light, at least in part from being repeatedly exposed to Blast The Right!
(PS: Right-wingers, if you want to write in to me, fine, but at least do me the courtesy of listening to the podcast first. Please don't respond just on the basis of the brief preview above. Thanks!)

Where recorded: Memphis, TN
Date recorded: 12 Jan 2007
A vibrant media is the oxygen of a living democracy. When the media are dominated by a handful of big corporations, citizens of a democracy are on a respirator gasping for air. James Madison, founding father, understood this well when he said, " A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but the prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power that knowledge gives." Today, media reform, once thought to be impossible, is an important issue. A growing grassroots movement is demanding change.
Bill Moyers
Bill Moyers is one of America's best known and respected journalists. He was senior correspondent for CBS News, and producer and host of many of public television's most heralded documentaries and interview series. He is the winner of the more than 30 Emmy Awards, and the author of several bestsellers including "Moyers on America." A longtime fixture on PBS, his new program is "Bill Moyers' Journal."

James Madison, founding father, understood this well when he said, " A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but the prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power that knowledge gives." Today, media reform, once thought to be impossible, is an important issue. A growing grassroots movement is demanding change.
