Friday February 3rd 2012 - Days of action for Students (drop tuition, forgive debt) and Labour (catepillar) in Canada as #Occupy Oakland attempts, unsuccessfully, to take an abandoned convention hall to use as a social space and for lodging. The vicious attack by the police in oakland sparked continent wide solidarty actions. We also look into more #deportkenney news, and the continuing and mounting disrepect from settler states towards Indigenous peoples through ignoring historic treaties.

We also unleash the first eco-update in a while as we report on the Enbridge oil spilling company, and continued resistance against their shitty pipelines, and other canadian mining oeprations. We jump into some info on the Fukashima nuclear disaster from http://globalresearch.ca before playing "No Fracking Way" http://submedia.tv and read of a protest against hydraulic fracturing at the #winterX games.

Some tunes and more!

Friday January 27th 2012 - KW poet and artist extraordinaire Janice Lee drops buy for discussion on the local slam poetry series after we read a piece by @harshawalia on Decolonising (from http://briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/view/decolonizing-together) and play Leanna Simpson's audio from the Occupy Talks: Indigenous Perspectives on the Occupy Movement.

We are also saddeneded to announce the passing of long term street warrior Ricky Lavaille, a vancouver #DTES resident.

Show Notes (from june 2010, first posted june 26th 2010):

A discussion during the KW Peoples Summit,

We will explore the revolutionary context of the ministry of Jesus by giving historical perspective, deflating a few common misconceptions and celebrating the one who overturned the tables of the moneychangers. In viewing the New Testament as world-creating, empire eroding storytelling we hope to shine a light on actions and perspectives taught by Jesus, that can be used today, to disarm the powers.

Build your skills with this holistic approach to intentional world changing.

Friday December 9th 2011 - A statement of solidarity from Occupy Boston and a disccsion on Occupy Toronto. We also play a TMC interview with Hidden From History's Kevin Annett and a clip from #ZachWahl on gay marriage and great families in the US.

from Conspire to Resist

“They call me an enemy of the state, so I know I must be doing something right.”
-Marilyn Buck (1947-2010)

The prosecution has gone to incredible lengths to attempt to control, isolate and divide our communities. They infiltrated community organizing groups in an attempt to create fear, quash dissent and incarcerate us. The state has gone to such lengths to destroy our communities of resistance because they know we are creating change.

from Narrative Resistance - Alex Hundert's Blog - http://alexhundert.wordpress.com

Today I pled guilty to one count of counsel to commit mischief and one count of counsel to obstruct police. This guilty plea was part of a collective deal that secured the withdrawal of charges from 11 allies. My original charges were four counts of conspiracy, six counts of counsel, two counts of intimidation, and two breaches of probation.

Friday November 18th 2011 - Its not a few bad apples but a rotten orchard, today we look at police violence and actions that such behaviour creates, and we discuss the #occupy movement. We give an update on the situation in KI and note the failure of canadian legislation in protecting the environment, talk quickly about #Mumia and give a #g20 update as well as a round up of anti-austerity actions in europe.

Friday November 11th 2011 - Another remembrance day in Canada as we mark 10 years of war in Afganistan and the Invasion of Libya, just what the fuck are we supposed to be remembering? world war one - the great war - never again, world war two - the war to end all wars. then why the shit are we still killing overseas? Clearly we have learned nothing, and something more urgent, more major needs to be done to remind canada's population that war will not bring peace.

We also get into #occupy, hype some #acab, discuss the chilean uprising, and play a few fresh tracks!
