Biden's Debt Ceiling Deal; Accountability; 2024 Election
|
President Biden outfoxed Congressional Republicans in his ingenious debt ceiling deal, blocking three GOP-engineered fiscal cliffs over the next two years for the price of less than one. There are painful cuts and concessions, but Republicans got shockingly little in the deal, and the corporate media is failing to inform the public about what just happened. Callers weigh in. Also today: Several new entries in the 2024 Presidential race.

Part 1: In the United States, American Indian/Alaskan Native and Native American peoples experience higher rates of violence than any other demographic. In fact, Native American women and girls are disproportionately affected by the violence. For example, a 2016 study by the National Institute of Justice estimated that 84 percent of American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence in their lifetime. There are 23 locations determined to be “hot spots” for MMIW cases, five of which are identified as being of the highest priority for intervention due to their disproportionately high rates of MMIW cases.
While numerous cases are related to the United States extractive industries, such as gas and oil, and “man camps,” our guest for today shares her family’s experiences regarding the murder of Nicole Smith (Coastal Pomo Nation), horizontal violence against MMIWS2+ peoples within the Coastal Pomo nation, and the complicities of the Mendocino County Sheriff and the United States federal government’s in failure to investigate and bring justice for Nicole Smith, Bernadette Antoinette Smith, the Smith family, and the Coastal Pomo nation located in what is known as Mendocino County, California.
Guest: Bernadette Antoinette Smith (Coastal Pomo), Culture Resource Specialist of the Coastal Pomo nation), Board Member, Xa Kako Dile (https://www.xakakodile.org/), Indigenous women-led organization; Environmental-Social Justice Activist; Language-Culture Revivalist. Justice for Nicole Smith Hashtag #JusticeforNicole Smith
Part 2: In Chiapas, Mexico, Indigenous peoples throughout the region continue experiencing escalated state-military-cartel violence within systemically and vehement capitalized world. Our guests for today provides an update on numerous critically important issues such Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) issuing executive orders greenlight major capitalistic megaprojects throughout the region (Maya Train Project, plus more), increased destruction of Mayan peoples’ traditional homelands, the Cartels, and the Mexican states collaborative violence, as well as Mexico’ judicial systems complicities in oppressing Indigenous land defenders, plus more.
Guest: Richard Stahler-Sholk, a retired Professor of Political Science at Eastern Michigan University, and community activist involved with the School of Chiapas which is an organization of grassroots activists and communities working to support the autonomous, indigenous Zapatista communities of Chiapas, Mexico. Schools for Chiapas was created the mid-1990’s by individuals searching for ways to make the world a better place and working to create a world where all worlds fit.

Journalist Peter Sinclair explains his on-the-round reporting in America's heartland that has exposed a well-coordinated, under-the-radar campaign to harass and intimidate farmers and elected officials trying to build wind and solar projects on their lands and in their small towns, the shadowy groups behind the campaign, and why renewable energy serves as a critical lifeline to farmers and struggling rural communities.

Supreme Court corruption; DeSantis' weaponization of Big Government
|
Corporate media is focused on FL GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis' horserace with disgraced Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination, while ignoring the very real victims of DeSantis' Big Government weaponization against people of color and the LGBTQ+ community. DeSantis' cruel agenda is playing out in terroristic threats against Target employees, muzzled teachers and banned books, including the 2021 inauguration poem by Amanda Gorman, 'The Hill We Climb.' Former federal prosecutor RANDALL D. ELIASON connects the US Supreme Court's erosion of anti-corruption laws to the decades-long corruption of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Chief Justice John Roberts' refusal to act, and details ways that Congress can repair this clearly corrupt and broken system and begin to restore the Court's legitimacy with the public.

Debt ceiling lies; Accountability; Environment
|
Congressional Republicans make clear they don't actually care about the national debt and deficit, and they've been pulling the same trick for decades: slash taxes for the rich, explode the debt/deficit, refuse to raise revenue, and crash the economy in hopes of hurting Democrats in the next election. Texas GOP lawmakers enact laws allowing takeover of free and fair elections in Harris County (Houston). Several updates in Trump criminal woes. Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed documents on Trump's foreign business deals after he entered the White House. Indictments likely to come in GA criminal probe into Trump's 2020 election interference between July 31-August 18. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'

The death penalty in the United States has faced increased opposition based on ethical, political, and legal concerns. Several states have outlawed it, but the federal government has returned to its use with a feverish wave of state executions last year. We discuss the implications of the use of the death penalty in the US and examine additional forms of extreme sentencing, such as life without parole.

Chile's Constitutional Drama
|
Marc Cooper and Pablo Abufom Silva join me in conversation featuring Marc's Dig on Chile with the great title “Utopia Postponed? Taking a stab at Utopia is a good description of the dramatic political events in Chile in the recent period – as well as the Popular Unity years between 1970-1973. Marc Cooper and Pablo Abufom integrate the legacy of the military coup, 50 years ago, with a discussion on the present challenges for the leftist government of Gabriel Boric. Just a year in power, the Boric Presidency suffered a huge defeat in the May 7 election for a new Constitutional Council, signaling the probable death knell for a progressive constitution in Chile, and the emergence of a powerful far right. The events in the last year in Chile have been at turns hopeful and devastating and we ask Pablo what happened to the energy from October 2019 and get Marc and Pablo’s account of how a political agenda that began with a focus on environmental, economic, and social justice got ensnared in debates about crime, immigration, and inflation.

In an unprecedented move, the new rightwing majority on the NC state supreme court has reversed a previous court ruling striking down partisan gerrymandered maps. What does the reversal at the NC state Supreme Court mean for the U.S. Supreme Court's pending ruling in 'Moore v. Harper'? DAN VICUÑA, national redistricting manager at Common Cause, explains. The Court will also hear a case that seeks to overturn the 'Chevron Doctrine' and dismantle the federal government's authority to craft regulations on major issues like pollution and climate change.

Debt Ceiling; Election results; Rudy Giuliani
|
Results in key election races in KY, PA, FL delivered promising results for Democrats and some embarrassment for FL Gov. Ron DeSantis. Grotesque sexual assault lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani reveals the early plot to lie about the 2020 election. Does Pres. Biden really have to play along with far-right Republicans hell-bent on holding the nation and world economy hostage to their pretend concerns about spending and debt? BRAD BLOG legal analyst ERNEST A. CANNING explains the legal underpinnings of a simple but bold solution that Biden can use to raise the debt ceiling and prevent economic disaster.

From the entertainment realm to higher education, political activists have complained that we live in cancel culture. But what is cancel culture? And what is its impact in the classroom and for the democracy. How much is cancel culture a reaction to disempowerment and a means of resistance? And what has been the backlash to its successes?
A new book addresses the issue, and we interview the author Sigal Ben-Porath. Sigal is the author of Cancel Wars: How Universities Can Foster Free Speech, Promote Inclusion, and Renew Democracy.
We are also joined by Eve Ng. She is the author of Cancel Culture: A Critical Analysis.

The Skyhorse-Mohawk Case Revisited, FBI COINTELPRO, and the
|
During the Red Power Movement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as part of its COINTELPRO (counterintelligence program), actively surveilled, infiltrated, and attempted to neutralize Native American activists and the American Indian Movement (AIM). With the establishment of the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Indian Movement in Box Canyon, Ventura County, CA back in mid-1970s, the FBI infiltrated the Los Angeles chapter of AIM with agent provocateurs and wrongfully framed mid-level AIM activist Paul Durant Skyhorse (Anishinaabe Nation) and Richard Billings Mohawk (Tuscarora-Mohawk Nations) for the October 10th, 1974, murder of cab-driver George Aird.
Paul Skyhorse and Richard Mohawk were arrested and what became known as the Skyhorse-Mohawk trial lasted 3½ years, cost California taxpayers $1.25 million, and both Native American peoples were incarcerated the entire time before their acquittal by a California jury on May 24th, 1978.
Our guest for today is a long-time activist who was pivotal, instrumental, and critical in defending against various forms of injustice, including his participation in the Skyhorse-Mohawk trial. As old state “agents” are starting to publically speak and publish stories about what allegedly happened, today’s guest shares with listeners his lived experiences and participation in the Skyhorse-Mohawk trial and tell us what actually happened during the turbulent times of the state violence in silencing dissent, plus more. • Guest: o Moses Mora, long-time activist, organizer, and for past 50 years he has been part of the various grassroots movements including the American Indian Movement, environmental movement, Chicano movement. In addition, Mora was a first-hand participant in the Skyhorse-Mohawk trial.

E. Jean Carroll verdict; Debt Ceiling; Gun massacres
|
Federal jury found disgraced former Pres. Trump liable for sexual assuault and defamation of E. Jean Carroll, awarding her $5 million. Nations issuing travel advisories focused on U.S. epidemic of gun violence. TX GOP Gov. Abbott slashed mental health funding while blaming gun massacres on 'mental health.' Mass shooter at Allen, TX mall was reportedly a neo-Nazi who echoed GOP incendiary rhetoric. Republicans are working hard to be the Party of Mass Murder, Domestic Terrorism and also Economic Terror, as they continue to hold nation hostage, refusing to raise debt ceiling and risk default in order to extract severe cuts, endangering the US economy. But Biden may have options under the Constitution's 14th Amendment.

In April, war broke out in Sudan. How much is the war driven by a power battle between two generals and how much is it embedded in the relationship between Khartoum and marginalized areas of the nation?
Then, scholars note that the world is waging fewer wars, but that the wars that are waged are more brutal and intractable.

Writers strike, Prisoners of the American Dream
|
Howard Rodman, the former president of the Writers Guild of America West joins Alan Minsky to discuss the Writers Guild strike, begun a minute after midnight on May 2, after a near unanimous strike vote on May 1. This strike action, the first in 15 years, is impacting TV, movies and streaming platforms across the country and the world. The last strike, in 2007-08, lasted 100 days and focused on “The Internet” when streaming was in its infancy and Netflix was still a DVD by mail company. This time, the key points are residuals, preserving the writers room and ending the practice of so-called mini-rooms, viewership transparency — writers want ratings data and not algorhythms — and protections regarding AI. As Rodman says, the strike is about a whole constellation of issues which, taken together, create an existential threat to the ability of writers to earn a decent living. There is a lot of public support for the writers, but the distance between the writers and the studios is very far apart. The writers are saying don’t use these new technologies to pay us less for more work. We get Howard Rodman’s take on what is at stake.
We then hear the late, great Mike Davis in an interview from 1986 on his book "Prisoners of the American Dream," and how the labor-capital conflict has opened up opportunities for the expression of the independent political interests of the American working class.

Protecting Mother Kuskokwin & Stopping the Donlin Gold Mine
|
Over the past several months under the Biden Administration, several fossil fuel mega projects or “carbon bombs” have been approved with a mega gold mining project currently under proposal and in opposition by numerous Alaska Native organizations, communities, and nations.
For instance, on March 13th, 2023, the U.S. Interior Department approved the ConocoPhillips $8 billion Willow oil and gas drilling project on Alaska’s North Slope, which will produce a peak of 180,000 barrels of oil per day, roughly 40 percent of all current daily production in Alaska. In addition, on April 13th, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy approved the $39 billion Alaska Gasline Development Corp’s (AGDC) project to export Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) to countries the United States does not have free trade agreements with, mainly in Asia. Backers of the project expect it to be operational by 2030 if it receives the required permits. Alaska LNG includes a liquefaction facility on the Kenai peninsula in southern Alaska and the proposed 807-mile pipeline will transport gas in northern Alaska across the state.
While the Biden Administration contends these mega projects are a matter of economic and national security, the proposed Donlin gold mine project is along the salmon-bearing tributary of the Kuskokwim River in Alaska and threatens several Alaska Native families, communities, and nations traditional ways of life. The company Donlin Gold, LLC is owned by Barrick Gold and NovaGold corporations and it has proposed an open pit mine, measuring up to 2.2 miles long and 1 mile wide in YK Delta. Donlin Gold’s proposed open mine is projected to have a 27-year life span that will result in mining about 1.5 million ounces of gold per year, destroying land and life throughout the region, storing over 3 billion tons of waste rock mine tailings in an artificial pond behind a large earthen dam (460 feet high and 5,800 feet long).
Our guest for the hour discusses how the recent mega projects will harm Mother Earth, the proposed Donlin Gold Mine Project and its implications for life, the extractive industries in Alaska, and the overall complexities of the Alaska Native Settlement Claims Act of 1971 that shape a very complex and dynamic terrain for Alaska Native peoples, communities, and nations, and more.
• Guest: o Anaan’arar Sophie Swope is Cup’ik, a community organizer at Native Movement, and the director for the Mother Kuskokwim Tribal Coalition, an organization dedicated to fighting against the Donlin Gold Mine Project and protecting the traditional territories of Alaska Native peoples throughout Materilluk (Bethel, AK) region.
