Entry 9: Israel-Palestine

The show can be downloaded here.

In this episode, I discuss the recent events regarding Israel's Operation Pillar of Defense, bringing up the fact that the violence was started by both sides rather than just by Palestinian militant rocket fire. In addition to this I note that the assassination of Ahmed Jabri was during the time of talks of a permanent truce between Gaza and Israel.

Later in the show, I discuss the effects of the recent UN vote that gave Palestine de facto state recognition.

Entry Six: Breaking Free Of The System

The show can be downloaded here.

Consistently we have been indoctrinated from day one to work within the framework of the systems that society had deemed acceptable. If you have a problem, you are directed to the accepted avenues to deal with that problem. Don’t like your political representative, vote them out. Have a problem with not being able to protest? Go to the courts. Yet the problem with this, especially from a political sense, is that there can be no real change in the system, rather only a reshuffling of the same deck of cards. 

Thus, we must learn ways in which we can operate outside the current system and take matters into our own hands.

Updates: I am now able to put the shows on Youtube. Thus, from now on there will be a downloadable version of the show as well as a streaming version available.

Entry Three: Food Speculation, Embassy Attacks, and Banks

The show can be downloaded here.

This is the third episode and in it I discuss the origins, current problems, and effects of food speculation around the world. I also look at what efforts have been undertaken to curb food speculation and if there are any solutions to this problem.

In the second half of the show, I go into the attacks on the US consulate in Libya and embassy in Egypt, going beyond the headlines to get to the true motives behind the attack in Libya and the actual person beyond the movie that is inflaming people around the world.

I end with the news that more and more Americans are opting out of banks entirely. However, this only shows that the narrative of an economic recovery is false and that the job market is not doing well.


Changes to the show:

From now on it will be a download only show as, while Soundcloud is great, it only provides me with a limited amount of space and I cannot afford a premium account. Regarding the setup of the show, I have decided to have the show set up into seasons. Each season will constitute 4 months worth of episodes or a total of about 16 shows. Thus, season one has began and will end in late December. I will then be taking a brief vacation before the show starts up again in late January.
