UG#538 - Outing School 1 (Unmasking US Tax-Exempt Foundations' "Philanthropy")

Robin Upton | 11-03-2011 18:19 | Analysis | Education | History | Sheffield | World

Audio
The show this week features two friends from different generations who dish the dirt on the US forced schooling system and the tax-exempt foundations which engineered it. Our main interview is Norman Dodd, chief investigator of the 1953 'Reece Committee' on Tax Exempt Foundations, set in context by a reading from John Taylor Gatto's Underground History of American Education. Next it is Charlotte Iserbyt, ex-senior policy advisor in US Department of Education, followed by the first half of a 2004 Radio Free School interview with John Taylor Gatto.

This week we continue to examine the details of schooling as a social control mechanism. First, a section from John Taylor Gatto's Underground History of American Education, followed by the conclusion of his Radio Free School interview and an excerpt from a speech on the scientific management of children. In hour 2, Peg Luksik of the Pennyslvania Parents' Commission asks Who Controls The Children?, focusing on increasingly sophisticated efforts by the schooling system to establish, log and 'correct' US students' attitudes.

Peter Reydt | 11-03-2011 08:48 | Workers' Movements | Sheffield

The Liberal Democrats are holding their spring conference in Sheffield, the home of the party’s leader and deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg.

The Guardian’s hatchet job on Julian Assange #WikiLeaks

Robert Stevens | 10-03-2011 20:22 | Iraq | Repression | Terror War | Sheffield | World

WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange’s War on Secrecy, by David Leigh and Luke Harding, published by the Guardian newspaper, is now being paraded as the “official” account of WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange. It is in reality a politically-motivated hatchet job aimed at discrediting Assange and facilitating his persecution by the Obama administration and its allies in the UK and Sweden.

Guy McPherson | 10-03-2011 15:03 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Energy Crisis | Sheffield | World

How The So-Called Guardians Of Free Speech Are Silencing The Messenger

John Pilger | 10-03-2011 09:59 | Repression | Terror War | Sheffield | World

As the United States and Britain look for an excuse to invade another oil-rich Arab country, the hypocrisy is familiar. Colonel Gaddafi is “delusional” and “blood-drenched” while the authors of an invasion that killed a million Iraqis, who have kidnapped and tortured in our name, are entirely sane, never blood-drenched and once again the arbiters of “stability”.

Point of no return: U.S. and NATO prepare for war with Libya

Rick Rozoff | 08-03-2011 23:10 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | Sheffield | World

March 7 was a pivotal moment in plans by Western powers to launch military operations against Libya. After meeting with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard in Washington, President Barack Obama stated "we've got NATO, as we speak, consulting in Brussels around a wide range of potential options, including potential military options, in response to the violence that continues to take place inside of Libya."

Britain and France, in close consultation with the U.S. and Germany (collectively the NATO Quad), are jointly writing a draft resolution for a no-fly zone over Libya to be presented to the Security Council. If the resolution is supported by nine or more of the fifteen nations on the Security Council and if permanent members China and Russia don't veto it, the stage will be set for a series of further military actions by the U.S. and NATO against Libya, which will be presented by the West as UN-sanctioned, in a manner alarmingly evocative of the process used to prepare the attack on Iraq in 2003.
