UG#655 - Unite and Conquer 3 (Social and Personal Consciousness of Self & Other)

Robin Upton | 21-07-2013 15:13 | Analysis | Health | Sheffield | World

Audio
A successor show to episode 531, we wonder this week whether a suppressed half of human consciousness knows that we are inseparable from all of the rest of life? We begin with Jill Bolte Taylor's dramatic account of the stroke that shut down the left half of her brain, followed by Elisabet Sahtouris and Willis Harman on new paradigms in science, and author Gish Jen on cultural differences in ideas of the self.

UG#654 - State Crimes Against Democracy (The Secret Government's War Of Terror)

Robin Upton | 19-07-2013 08:06 | Repression | Social Struggles | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio
Most of the show is an interview with Lance deHaven-Smith, author of "Conspiracy Theory In America", who coined the term "State Crime Against Democracy" (SCAD) as a modern replacement of what used to be called a "high crime". Both speakers share an exasperation of the apparent credulousness of most of the US public, noting that November 22nd will mark a half century of emerging evidence about John F Kennedy's assassination, which the US government continues to maintain was the work of a 'lone nut'.

UG#653 -The Biopsychosocial Approach (The Growth Of Child Development Disorders)

Robin Upton | 11-07-2013 10:40 | Analysis | Health | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio
Following on from last week, another show on a very important but commercially sidelined scientific backwater. Dr. Gabor Maté combines personal testimony, anecdotal evidence and a lot of scientific research to tell a story of child development very different to the one pedalled by institutions such as the Drug Industry, the criminal justice system or other profiteers of human disfunctionality. Increasing ill health, Maté suggests, is a natural response to an increasingly sick society.

Steve Leary | 10-07-2013 13:21 | Climate Chaos | Energy Crisis | Social Struggles | London | Sheffield

UG#652 - Is Humanity In Its Right Mind? (The Rise and Rise Of The Left Brain)

Robin Upton | 07-07-2013 02:28 | Analysis | Health | Sheffield | World

Audio
This week, a remarkable set of ideas by an unknown speaker with a highly unusual credential (a sleep deprivation record of 11 days) whom I first came across only a few days ago. His ideas are such a close fit with many of the others we have heard on the show that I felt I had to share them with you. If they are even partly true, we all need to know about it.

Marks & Spencer Bombarded With Boycott Threats over #workfare boasts

Johnny Void (repost) | 05-07-2013 10:30 | Workfare | Public sector cuts | London | Sheffield | South Coast

M+S thread on 5/7/2013

Hundreds of people bombarded Marks & Spencer on social media on Wednesday night after the company boasted of their use of workfare earlier in the week.

The company were forced to lock down their facebook page in an attempt to silence criticism and are now preventing people from posting on their wall. This has simply led to people leaving hundreds of comments threatening to boycott the company on their gaudy posts advertising over-priced food instead.

The ‘workfare party on the M&S facebook page’ as one person described it seemed to be holding strong on Thursday morning whilst the company haven’t fared any better on twitter where they can be found @marksandspencer.

UG#651 - Deep Green Resistance (Earth At Risk Conference)

Robin Upton | 02-07-2013 22:48 | Occupy Everywhere | Analysis | Ecology | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio
A trio of speakers this time, two of whom have been regular contributors to the show. We listen in on a conference that happened in California in 2011 entitled Earth At Risk. While they outline contrasting approaches to resistance, the speakers are united in their conviction that the culture of capitalist golobalisation has no mechanism for self-regulation and so Direct Action is necessary to stop its ongoing ecocide.

Robin Upton | 25-06-2013 16:28 | Tar Sands | Analysis | Ecology | Workers' Movements | Sheffield | World

Following last week's observations on the destructiveness of the money system in general, we look this week at two specific examples of devastaed communities and ecosystems. Firstly, an account by Arundhati Roy of the oppression of Indian communities by a government determined to extract resources. Secondly, a radio adaptation of "To The Last Drop", a film about the Athabasca Tar Sands in Alberta, Canada.

Undercover Police Officers Licensed to Rape and Discredit UK Citizens

Scriptonite Daily | 24-06-2013 08:51 | History | Policing | Repression | Sheffield | World

Mark Kennedy

UK Police forces have despatched undercover agents into peaceful protest movements, where they have engaged in intimate sexual relationships and even had children with the targets of their espionage, while maintaining their cover. They have also been found smearing the families of murder victims and justice campaigners, and undertaken illegal actions to discredit otherwise peaceful movements. Undercover police exist and it seems they are licensed to do just about anything to suppress our ability to dissent.

UG#649 - Why Money Will End (And How To Prepare)

Robin Upton | 21-06-2013 07:30 | Analysis | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio
This week, a special show featuring a 2-hour made-for-radio commentary on a recent presentation entitled Why Money Will End — And What to Do About It. Does a life beyond money have to be unthinkable? Or is it just that a highly funded campaign is trying to make it seem so? What if it was "bu$ine$$ as usual" that was in reality unthinkable, and there was a more beautiful world of abundance awaiting us, once enough people have the courage to say goodbye to money and its scarcity-inducing story of selfishness and separation?...
