  • On the occasion of Noam Chomsky’s 96th birthday on December 7, we are honored to broadcast for the first time this classic recording of a talk he gave in Albuquerque in the year 2000. Many of the issues he addressed then remain salient today. Chomsky says that the right of sovereignty is fundamental to the task of taking control of our lives. He describes what citizens are up against as “an array of mega-corporations often linked to one another.”

  • Few issues are more freighted than the U.S.-Israel relationship. Overwhelmingly, Democrats and Republicans give Israel “unwavering” support. Internationally, it’s a different story. Opposition to the U.S.-Israel alliance is mounting, particularly on Palestine. Nowhere is this more apparent than at the UN where scores of U.S. Security Council vetoes shield Israel from criticism. Can policy change? Noam Chomsky says, “It’s very much in our hands. There are plenty of things we can do to compel the U.S. to join the world on this issue.” If that happens, he concludes, “the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can certainly be mitigated, not solved, but set on a basis of a much more favorable outcome.” Recorded at UCLA.

  • In this fourth installment of the Radio Free Independent Media Training Manual we take a critical look at how musicians, specifically Zack de la Rocha, inform their audiences to educate the public on ideas being censored on mainstream networks. Zack’s practice of mediating news through both song, interviewing academics and creating his own reports is exemplary, as it creates a relational point for mediation of information that is well established from a point of trust. Acting independently, Zack and his band Rage Against the Machine became the soundtrack to the anti-globalization movement, informing listeners about how the system as a whole functions in a way that could be easily understood by anyone.
