Podcast appearances and mentions of Kristian Williams

This week on the show, we're sharing two interviews. First up, Dulce, a member of Companeros Inmigrantes en las Montanas en Accion, or CIMA, a local organizing and advocacy group by and for immigrants in western NC about her experience working for dignity and solidarity in light of the current and past administrations. More on CIMA can be found at CIMAWNC.Org Then, Ian speaks with Kristian Williams, author of Gang Politics, Resist Everything Except Temptation, and Our Enemies in Blue, among others, about his recent book, The Illuminist: Philosophical Explanations in the work of Alan Moore. The chat touches upon Moore's work and its anarchist underpinnings, his legacy in and out of comics, the necessity of imagination, and the possibilities that arise from death and disaster. The book is available from emergencyhearts.com, emergencyhearts.bandcamp.com, and kristianwilliams.com. You can find past interviews we've done with Kristian here.

Alan Moore is one of the most important comic book and graphic novel creators in the business. His work has subverted the comic book genre and put radical ideas into the mainstream. Most known for his works “The Watchmen” and “V for Vendetta,” more puts anarchist and anti-authoritarian views into those series. In our latest, Scott talks with author Kristian Williams about his new book, “The Illuminist – Philosophical Explorations in the Work of Alan Moore,” which looks at the anarchist politics of Alan Moore. They discuss his subversion of long standing literary and comic book genres, characters and storylines in "The Watchmen" and "V for Vendetta," and, of course the origins and nature of Moore's anti-authoritarian political philosophy. This episode is another segment in our ongoing series on how Arts and Culture raises political consciousness. Bio// Kristian Williams has been involved in anarchist movements since the 1990s. He's also the author of “Our Enemies in Blue,” and books on Oscar Wilde and George Orwell. ——- Outro- “Green and Red Blues” by Moody Links// + “The Illuminist: Philosophical Explorations in the work of Alan Moore” (https://bit.ly/3B3Ujgh) + Kristian's website: https://www.kristianwilliams.com/ Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM) +NEW: Follow us on Substack (https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com) +NEW: Follow us on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

We're re-airing Scott's 2020 interview with Kristian Williams about his book, Resist Everything Except Temptation: The Anarchist Philosophy of Oscar Wilde. Transcription (thanks to MKE Lit Supply!) PDF (unimposed) Zine (imposed PDF) From the original post: I found this interview extremely illuminating, perhaps like many other people who might not have strong ties to either academia or popular education models of learning, I had sort of written Oscar Wilde off as this kind of white dead rich guy who carried little to no relevance apart from a model of queerness that we could look back on. This interview very much proved that this isn't the case, and that he and the circumstances around him very much influence how we as queers and as anarchists can sense historical threads that pull on our lives very tangibly today. Thanks a million to Scott for researching and conducting this interview! You can learn more about the author, Kristian Williams, who is most known for his book Our Enemies in Blue, which is a critical history of American policing and police, at his website kristianwilliams.com.

According to a report from 247Sports, Dan Lanning and his staff have, for the third time, convinced an Oregon Football player who put his name in the portal to stay with the school. 4-star Class of 2021 safety Daymond David took an official visit to Florida State, but it seems he has decided to return to the Ducks. Kristian Williams, however, a former 3-star defensive lineman, has left the program and is headed to Missouri to play for the Tigers. On this episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the secondary depth (specifically at safety) if the report about Daymond David is accurate. The number of names adds up quicker than some may realize with players like Jamal Hill, Bennett Williams, JJ Greenfield and others in the safety room--but the experience beyond Williams and Hill is rather thin. The safety position (with the departure of Verone McKinley) remains a legitimate question for the year 1 defense of Dan Lanning and Tosh Lupoi. A listener sends in a question asking about some of Oregon's best all-time players, specifically running backs. There have been more than a few top-notch tailbacks for the Ducks over the years, and Spencer goes through the best that he's seen in his lifetime. LaMichael James tops the list, but who follows him as the best Oregon RBs of the last 15-20 years? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

I have a trio of great guests on this episode. And we'll need to talk to a lot of people if we're going to get to the bottom of what's happening in Portland with the feds, and the kidnapping, and that sort of thing. KRISTIAN WILLIAMS is the author of a number of great books, including Our Enemies In Blue. He's also a police abolition activist based in Portland. He's able to give us some perspective on who the feds are in the city, what they're up to, and any broader implications there may be. JUNIPER SIMONIS provides a firsthand account of what it's like to be arbitrarily detained and then released for doing nothing illegal in the general vicinity of the feds. And lastly (but first on the episode) freelance journalist GARRISON DAVIS will give us the skinny on what it's been like to be on the frontlines of the Portland uprising since the beginning. It's a nebulous story, but I think these three individuals will get us a lot closer to what's really going on.

Today we speak with anarchist author Kristian Williams about his interest in George Orwell and Oscar Wilde, seemingly quite disparate thinkers to attract one’s admiration. But it turns out that Williams isn’t the first anarchist to be interested in them. It also turns out that Orwell himself admired Wilde, writing in a letter to a …

Racial tensions and police brutality in America have caused protests, riots, and citizens becoming the victims of war crimes committed by our military-police force. How did we get here? Where do we go? How can we effectively reform policing in America? It’s a complicated issue and a couple of white guys are going to do their best to introduce you to the topic and form a basic foundation on which to build a base of knowledge about these subjects. We also take a look at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints angle of race, as this is a Mormon-centric podcast. We encourage you to use the resources and further reading below.

An interview with Nathan Munn, a freelance journalist based in Montreal. Nathan has written several investigative pieces for VICE looking at the "Hub Model" of community policing, which has been quietly rolling out across the country, and especially in Saskatchewan and Ontario, over the past 5 years. The article by Kristian Williams referenced in the introduction is available in PDF form here.

Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and analysis from a Black Left perspective. I’m Glen Ford, along with my co-host Nellie Bailey. Coming up: A new book lays out the real relationship between the police and Black America. It’s titled “Your Enemy in Blue”; a new and deeper look at Eleanor Bumpers, the Black grandmother killed by New York City police 34 years ago; and, a grandfather with a radio show speaks up for the common people in Zambia, southern Africa. Much of the world is appalled at the U.S. attempt to provoke a coup in Venezuela, and to put opposition politician Juan Guaido in the presidency. In New York City, the December 12th Movement demanded that the United Nations condemn Washington’s violations of international law. Roger Wareham is a human rights attorney and a member of D-12. The Black Alliance for Peace also condemns the Trump administration’s regime change policy in Venezuela as a white supremacist assault disguised as a humanitarian intervention.The police are no friend to the Black community in the United States, says author Kristian Williams, who’s written a new book. It’s titled “Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America.” Thirty-four years ago, Eleanor Bumpers was killed by police in her public housing apartment in The Bronx, New York. The cops that shot-gunned the grandmother to death claimed she threatened them with a kitchen knife. Bumpers became a symbol of police disregard for Black lives. LaShawn Harris was a child in that Bronx neighborhood when Bumpers was cut down, in 1984. Harris is now an Associate Professor of History at Michigan State University. She recently published a comprehensive study of the life and times of Eleanor Bumpers, in the political journal “Souls.” The article is titled, “Beyond the Shooting: Eleanor Gray Bumpurs, Identity Erasure, and Family Activism Against Police Violence.” Deep in the countryside of Zambia, in southern Africa, a man in his sixties called “GoGo Breeze” holds forth on one of the country’s most popular radio shows. Harri Englund is a Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. He’s written a book titled “Gogo Breeze: Zambia’s Radio Elder and the Voices of Free Speech.” We asked Professor Englund why an African elder with a radio show rates scholarly attention.

We don't even really get to choose the person who chooses the people who dictate the highest law of the land. That might sound confusing – and it is. It's even more frustrating. We take a look at the grossly undemocratic workings of the Supreme Court as well as why reporting sexual assault is so hard. Next up, Code Pink's latest report on the death dealers and their deals. Finally, our sit down with Kristian Williams, author of the powerfully important book, Our Enemies in Blue.   Site List: codepink.org http://www.kristianwilliams.com/ http://actout.libsyn.com/ facebook.com/ActOutShow https://steemit.com/@eleanorgoldfield

Kristian Williams on George Orwell This week on The Final Straw, Bursts presents a conversation with Kristian Williams about his recently published book, Between The Lie & The Bullet: Essays on Orwell, published by AK Press. Kristian is maybe best known for authoring Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America. For the hour we speak about Kristian's reading of Orwell, the importance of intellectual honesty, weaknesses in modern Anarchist engagements with ideas and facts on the ground and other topics stemming from the book.  A slightly longer version of this conversation will be available in our podcast, which can be downloaded from our website.  More writings & interviews by Kristian can be found at KristianWilliams.com. Hear Bursts prior interviews with Kristian on the writings & anarchism of Oscar Wilde as well as on Kristian's book, Our Enemies In Blue. We'd like to apologize for the strange sound during most of Kristian's portions.  This'll be present in upcoming interviews, it's a technical difficulty that hopefully we'll have sorted quite soon.  Thanks for bearing with us!  Playlist

For this episode of The Future Is A Mixtape, Jesse & Matt have a discussion with Matt Bruenig--a lawyer, blogger, political analyst and Twitter-dynamo who's got your back when you're kettled by Roaming Hillbots and Randian Regressives. More importantly though, Matt has just started the first grassroots, people-powered think tank called The People's Policy Project (3P). Funded by small donations from $5 to $15 dollars, 3P is an attempt to actually make Think Tanks “think” again, but for the purpose of actually benefitting the 80% Americans who now own only 20% of the nation's wealth, and are increasingly living lives of quiet desperation. We will discuss Bruenig's childhood, his educational experiences and awareness-path toward political change, his history as a blogger for the think tank Demos, and his surprising success at crowd-funding 3P via Patreon. We will also talk about where Matt plans to take this new and enterprising venture in the years ahead.Mentioned In This Episode: The World of Mattness: The People's History of Matt Bruenig Matt's Official Website and Blog Page Matt's Twitter Page & Wrecking Tweets (@MattBruenig) The People's Policy Project (3P) The People's Policy Project on Twitter (@PplPolicyProj) Some Notable Essays by Matt Bruenig: Here, Here and Here Some Notable Podcasts Where Matt Appears: The Jacobin's The Dig with Danvir: “Bruenig on Why Welfare Is Great and Need More of It” The Katie Halper Show: “Matt Bruenig on Liberals Who Are Actually Conservative + Get Out!” Delete Your Account Podcast: “The Welfare State” Why Snyder Was a Good Last Name (While It Lasted): Gary Snyder as Featured in The New Yorker: “Zen Master” . . .

That in reality they may have nothing to do with genuinely developing new ideas, but have become a branch of the PR industry whose aim is to do the very opposite - to endlessly prop up and reinforce today's accepted political wisdom.

Our show today comes in two parts. First a pre-recorded spot, an interview with noted police critic, Kristian Williams, author of Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America produced and hosted by WFHB News Department Volunteer Dan Young.

In this episode, the Ex-Worker takes a crack at the police; we speak with Kristian Williams, the author of Our Enemies in Blue, and members of East Atlanta Copwatch. Join us for news from around the world and a review of To the Indomitable Hearts: The Prison Letters of Luciano 'Tortuga' Pitronello. Also, comrades from Turkey and from Atlanta give us the digs on their respective anti-police riots!

Kristian Williams, a journalist and a member of Rose City Copwatch, is the author of Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America and American Methods: Torture and the Logic of Domination. Jules Boykoff teaches political science at Pacific University in Forest Grove and is the author of Beyond Bullets: The Suppression of Dissent in the United States. The authors discuss their books and answer questions from the audience.

It's boy's night out, and a group of brothers are having a bachelor's party at a neighborhood club. One of them is particularly thrilled, because his marriage to the woman he loves is just hours away. But he will never marry, because a pack of wild, undercover cops will execute him, and unleash a deadly rain of 50 bullets on he and his friends. The crime? Cruising While Black ... Sean Bell, unarmed, was 23. And the corporate media merely explains it may've been a case of "contagious" shooting -- one cop fires, two cops fire, three cops ... get the picture? It's a kind of social illness, like alcoholism. But neither Sean Bell, Trent Benefield, nor Joseph Guzman were armed. According to some reports, one of them *said* he was armed. Like the madmen who launched a preemptive war on the unsubstantiated suspicion of weapons of mass destruction, undercover cops launched an urban preemptive war on unarmed young Black men, reportedly based on unsubstantiated suspicions. *50 shots*. Death, and serious injury. No cellphones; no wallets; no threatening candy bars -- for such trifles are no longer deemed necessary. In America, blackness is sufficient. Even maleness isn't required, as shown by the recent shooting of an elderly woman who allegedly allowed a drug dealer to use her home. Katherine Johnston, having lived almost 9 decades, was shot to death while trying to defend her Atlanta home after it was attacked by undercover cops. According to a neighborhood snitch, he never claimed her house was a drug site, despite police pressure to do so. No significant quantities of drugs were found at the home. What was her crime? Trying-to-survive-to-90-while-Black? What's more dangerous -- drugs, or armed undercover cops kicking in doors allegedly on drug raids? Police suspicion, it seems, is a weapon of urban war. Several years ago, writer Kristian Williams noted a case where a whole community was held under siege, because of police suspicion. In his remarkable 2003 book, Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America (Brooklyn, NY: Soft Skull Press), Williams recounted an amazing story: "The racial politics of police suspicion are well illustrated by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation's 'Operation Ready-Rock.' In November 1990, forty-five state cops, including canine units and the paramilitary Special Response Team, lay siege to the 100 block of Graham Street, in a black neighborhood of Chapel Hill. Searching for crack cocaine, the cops sealed off the streets, patrolled with dogs, and ransacked a neighborhood pool hall. In terms of crime control, the mission was a flop. Although nearly 100 people were detained and searched, only 13 were arrested, and one of them convicted. Nevertheless, and despite a successful class action lawsuit, the cops defended their performance and no officers were disciplined. "When applying for a warrant to search every person and vehicle on the block, the police had assured the judge, 'there are no 'innocent' people at this place ... Only drug sellers and drug buyers are on the described premises.' But once the clamp-down was underway, they became more discriminating: Blacks were detained and searched, sometimes at gunpoint, while whites were permitted to leave the cordoned area." [p. 121] How many of the armed maniacs who shot Johnston, Bell, Guzman or Benefield will ever see the inside of a cell? How many will reach the confines of Death Row? We know the answer -- because we've seen this movie before ... Paid leave (which amounts to paid vacations), a whitewash of an investigation, and a 'they-were-doing-their-jobs' is all that ever happens. It's a damned shame. Copyright 2006 Mumia Abu-Jamal
