POPULARITY
How should we feel about city officials blasting pop songs to disperse protesters? Better than tear gas, but more disturbing that they're trying to weaponize our precious "Macarena?" Big Brother's DJs were in effect in Wellington, New Zealand's capital — where protesters, inspired by Canada's own anti-vax demonstrations, took to the streets. The Wellington authorities' response? Barry Manilow, "Baby Shark," and even some James Blunt (at his request). We decided to look at why weaponizing music is such a popular pastime for governments trying to assert control over public dissent ... or to break suspected terrorists. The soundtrack of mass suppression includes your Britneys and your Meow Mixes, but police and military aren't afraid to get deep into electronica with the sick beats of a Long-Range Acoustic Device. And of course any selection of sound attacks wouldn't be complete without Havana Syndrome, which might be some sort of energy weapon, it might be mass psychogenic illness, or it might be something else entirely. But why dwell on the negative? Stephen shifts gears to talk about the use of music for health (instead of merely crowd control or dumb old dancing). We get into some music for making pain relief, but also for light horticulture. What we're really humming a tune about the place of things, about how taking music, or people, out of their "proper" context can threaten the whole. And that means talking about the secret meaning of dirt, and where we all belong these days. Join Brandon & Stephen on the threes & fours ... 'cause the ones & twos ain't enough. JOURNOS is produced by Heather "Eagle Ears" Wilson. Music by Nathan "Nerth" Readey Notes New Zealand's COVID numbers are pretty nice // James Blunt was really in the military // More on Mary Douglas // More on protest and "dirt" Audio Clips James Taylor, "You've Got a Friend" // New Zealand protests // G20 Protests, CNN // Havana Syndrome, NBC News // Binaural Beats // Birds! // Hans Zimmer // "Plantasia"
Alanis is back! And she reads our feature this episode, an audio version of the recent CrimethInc. text Kavanaugh Shouldn't Be on the Supreme Court. Neither Should Anyone Else. We also interview an anarchist in Portland, Oregon about the #PatrickKimmons actions at the intersection where police killed him. Winter, one of the anarchists in jail defending Germany's Hambach Forest in the last couple of weeks, is refusing to surrender their legal identity to the government. However, they did submit a beautiful letter to Rhineland Anarchist Black Cross, which we also read in this episode.

Call: 919–733–2126 A sample script: “Hi, my name is ( ), I would like to speak to Kennith Lassiter. I'm calling in regards to four prisoners in the North Carolina DPS system. (If they don't connect you to Lassiter) I would like to leave a message for the director. I have become aware that DPS is punitively holding four prisoners in segregation and charging them with false charges of rioting. Not only have you chosen to disregard the demands of the protesting prisoners but now you continue to infringe on their basic rights to protest. I am demanding that you drop the infraction charges against Jace Buras, Todd Martin, and Randy Watterson and move all of them out of isolation. I will be following up with each of these men's case.” Express solidarity with houseless people in Olympia by calling Cooper Realty/Orca Construction and demand that they cancel their contract with Pacific Coast Security. Call Cooper Realty/Orca Construction: (360) 491–4580 A sample phone call has been provided by Olympia Solidarity Network: “Hello Cooper Realty and Orca Construction. It has come to my attention and the attention of hundreds of concerned community members that you hire Pacific Coast Security to do daily patrols downtown and sweep houseless people from alcoves and alleyways from 8 PM to 12 AM. We believe these practices are discriminatory, unethical, and exacerbate the crisis of houselessness in our community and abroad. It appears that Cooper Realty and Orca Construction care more about maximizing profit and property values than the lives of people in living in poverty. We demand that you cancel your contract with Pacific Coast Security.” For general information on supporting anarchist prisoner Casey Brezik, pop over to supportcasey.org. To help with writing parole board letters for Casey, here's a sample letter: Missouri Board of Probation and Parole 1511 Christy Drive Jefferson City, MO 65101 Regarding: Parole Board Hearing for Casey Brezik #1154765 Dear Honorable Members of the Parole Board, As a concerned citizen who is interested in helping Casey successfully transition into life outside of prison, I am writing to request that you please grant Casey's parole. Casey has been working hard during his incarceration to address his problems with addiction and mental illness and I believe that he has made substantial progress in these efforts. Despite the mistakes he has made, I believe Casey is ready to meet the challenges of daily life and would be a positive contribution to any community. Casey's efforts toward meeting educational and personal goals during his incarceration have been inspiring. Casey is passionate about learning and with the help of his support network he has been studying math and science related topics in preparation for pursuing a college degree upon his release while working to support himself and his wife in the meantime. Casey is well supported by a network of people across the country as well as by his family. I am willing to provide financial, emotional and spiritual support to Casey during his transition back to life outside of prison. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] We have a Twitter! Follow @HotwireWeekly and send us news that we should include in the show.
