UG#694 - Social Destabilization Tactics Post 1989 (The Terrifying War On Terror)

Robin Upton | 19-10-2014 17:47 | Repression | Social Struggles | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio

We look this time at the terrifying reality that is "the war on terror", and the effects of that terror on two target populations - US and UK. Our first speaker, author, academic and activist asks why more US citizens today consider torture acceptable than did during the Bush presidency. Our second speaker, a senior lecturer in Risk and Corporate Security analyses the disproportionate reaction to the purported threat of terrorism. We conclude with more from Sibel Edmonds on the global heroin trade, and especially on its close connections with NATO.

Safer Spaces Exposed

Solidarity Collective | 17-10-2014 12:21 | Free Spaces | Gender | Repression | Sheffield | World

www.saferspaces.exposed is being launched today, 17th October 2014, the day before the London Anarchist Bookfair, where the seed for the Solidarity Collective was sown in 2013. This seems an appropriate date to choose for our launch.

Hard copies of Document 1 will be available at the Bookfair. We hope for a successful Bookfair this year and that this contribution will result in serious debate and discussion, more awareness of the issues and some positive action to stop the cycle of physical and psychological violence that is tearing us apart.

UG#693 - Social Destabilization Post WW2(Operation Phoenix to the War On Terror)

Robin Upton | 03-10-2014 18:12 | Repression | Social Struggles | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio

A new speaker on the show, Douglas Valentine, outlines the CIA's development of "Operation Phoenix", which helps explain how the Police State in the USA today has been so rapidly rolled out after 9-11; social destabilization techniques which the CIA tried out in Vietnam and developed in Latin America in the 1970s are being applied in Mexico and increasingly in USA itself. In our second hour, we continue with more from FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds on Gladio Operation B in Turkey, and NATO's links with high level drug trafficking.

UG#692 - The European Deep State Post WW2 (NATO's Secret Armies)

Robin Upton | 21-09-2014 04:26 | History | Repression | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

This time we focus on a seminal event in the evolution of European deep state groups, the NATO-backed "stay behind network" which first broke the surface in Italy (as Operation Gladio) but which was a factor in most if not all Western European countries after WW2. Daniele Ganser's particular focus is the role of Gladio in Spain. Our second speaker is Sibel Edmonds, whose main focus is the Turkish deep state and its relationship to the War On Terror.

How we fight the state every weekend

Some anarchist from Liverpool | 20-09-2014 16:52 | Liverpool | Sheffield

A brawl involving up to 500 youths broke out in Blackpool resulting in three police officers being injured on Friday night. Just a normal weekend as working class people unleash their anger on the state and their paid representatives all over these islands, physical or otherwise. Feel free to add to this small contribution to showing the reality

Scottish vote and promise of more decision-making powers for England?

UG#691 - Big Drugs,Big Money& Big Guns (Deep State from Afghanistan to Susurluk)

Robin Upton | 18-09-2014 16:50 | Afghanistan | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio

We begin a new series this week, looking at the global drug trade and its key role in funding deep state groups. We begin with an expert on the Asian drug trade, Alfred McCoy. His 2010 talk, "Low-Intensity Conflict in the Drug Wars" focuses on opium production and its relationship to the proxy wars being fought in Afghanistan. We follow the heroin westwards to Turkey with a commentary by Sibel Edmonds who focuses on the nexus of the political and intelligence agency leaders, mobsters and drug traffickers which was brought to light by the "Susurluk scandal". This fateful 1996 car crash lead to the development of the phrase "Deep State" to describe the behind-the-scenes arrangements which were previously hidden from public view. While details of their operations remain unclear, they are increasingly understood to be more important to what really goes on than the for public consumption charade that is electoral politics.

UG#690 - Paying to Cut, Paying Not to Cut (Unbearable Costs of Financialization)

Robin Upton | 05-09-2014 02:43 | Analysis | Ecology | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

Why is paying people to cut down trees like paying them not to cut down trees? Well, do these two apparent opposites actually result in opposite outcomes...? Or do they both, by equating trees with money, turn them into resources, and so effectively put them under the control of rich foreigners, with predictable consequences. In our first hour, Jeff Conant explores "REDD", the World Bank's forest protection racket for the global south. In our second hour, Max Haiven looks at the extreme and ongoing financialization of the "developed" world, resulting in a damage to society and personal identities that while difficult to quantify is nevertheless all too real. He recommends we "rededicate ourselves to moving beyond individualism and this idea that we are all competitive agents by actively building grassroots concrete effort to reclaim the commons by actively building grassroots efforts in the here and now.

The Yorkshire Ripper Cover-up / The Peter Sutcliffe Myth

Peter Newman | 03-09-2014 15:48 | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

An international readership is gradually becoming aware that the police/media version of the Yorkshire Ripper case is false. The Yorkshire Ripper was never caught. The families of the murdered women have been emotionally defrauded by the big lie that Peter Sutcliffe is the Yorkshire Ripper.

UG#689 - A Tale Of Two Worlds (Bridges in Myanmar, The Real 911 Suspects)

Robin Upton | 28-08-2014 20:39 | Analysis | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

A stark contrast of material for you this week. We begin with an uplifting reading of Toni "El Suizo" Rüttimann giving the flavour of his latest expedition to Myanmar, in which he built half a dozen bridges of up to 100m in length in a 12 day period. Most of the show is a detailed exposition of old world malfeasance - Kevin Ryan on who he suspects committed the terrorism of Sep 11th - Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and a bunch of lesser known names, some of whom have been quite successful in evading the limelight, but all of whom appear to be covert operatives for the Deep State.

Yes we are Working Class, yes we live and were brought up on council estates where the Ruling Class think we can be divided and forgotten about. Forced in to Unemployment when it suits them, hidden from view when it suits some of their Institutions...

What Does It Profit A Man? (Moneyless Living, The Canadian Genocide)

Robin Upton | 16-08-2014 17:23 | History | Repression | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

We hear two contrasting stories of people who had the courage of their convictions. We start with a reading from "The Moneyless Manifesto", by Mark Boyle, who has been living without money in the UK for years. Our main speaker this time is a new one on the show, Rev. Kevin Annett, who recounts how he uncovered systematic genocide in Canada and how when he raised this issue he was defrocked by his church.
