Episode 69 | Justice For Sandra Birchmore (part one)Subjects include sexual abuse, coercive control, suicide, homicide, police misconduct and WAP by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, Listen with care.Sandra's case has been languishing for 3 and a half years (minus a decade of abuse). In August 2024, Matthew Farwell, a Stoughton, Massachusetts police officer was arrested and charged with her murder - a murder that was first deemed a suicide when she was found on February 4, 2021. Sandra's friends and family never believed she took her own life. They were right. Justice is coming.Stoughton is a small town with a few notables like superstar songwriter, Lori McKenna, and Nicola Sacco of the notorious prohibition-era anarchist crime duo of Sacco and Vanzetti (or were they?). What happens when those sworn to serve and protect become the perpetrators of unspeakable crimes? This episode of Crime of the Truest Kind unravels the harrowing story of Sandra Birchmore from Stoughton, Massachusetts, a case stained by misuse of power, child sexual abuse, and systemic failures. Season four begins with expressing our deep gratitude to our supporters and setting the stage for Sandra's tragic narrative, which has shockingly been overlooked until recently. Special guest Susanne Cleveland, a relentless advocate for Sandra, joins us to bring truth, clarity and respect to her memory.Tracing Sandra's heartbreaking journey from her introduction to her abuser, Matthew Farwell, through the Police Explorers program at just 13, to the relentless abuse she endured, culminating in her tragic death and exposing not only Farwell's predatory actions but also the complicity of other officers like Robert C.  Devine, who enabled this abuse and was a participant. The systemic failures and the betrayal by those in authority serve as a grim reminder of the broader issues within law enforcement.We confront the dismissive and misogynistic attitudes that trivialize women's experiences and the historical context of labeling women as "hysterical."

This Day in Legal History: Sacco and Vanzetti are Executed On August 23, 1927, Italian immigrants Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed in the Massachusetts State Prison, marking the culmination of one of the most controversial trials in American history. The two men, both anarchists, had been convicted of a 1920 armed robbery and double murder in South Braintree, Massachusetts. However, their trial was widely criticized for being tainted by anti-immigrant and anti-radical sentiments, with many believing they were targeted more for their political beliefs than any clear evidence of guilt. Protests and demonstrations erupted around the world, calling for their release or a new trial.Despite the global outcry, the U.S. judicial system upheld their conviction, and they were sentenced to death. Sacco and Vanzetti's execution sparked widespread condemnation and became a symbol of the miscarriage of justice. Decades later, in 1977, Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis issued a proclamation officially exonerating Sacco and Vanzetti, acknowledging the unfairness of their trial and the lasting impact it had on civil liberties in the United States. Their case remains a powerful reminder of the dangers of prejudice and the importance of due process in the legal system.OpenAI has hired Idriss Kechida as its first global data protection officer, reflecting the company's growing focus on privacy amid its rapid expansion in generative AI. Kechida, previously the associate general counsel and chief privacy officer at Match Group, will oversee OpenAI's compliance with global privacy laws and collaborate closely with the company's privacy legal team, led by Emma Redmond. Kechida was drawn to OpenAI by the unique privacy challenges posed by AI technology. His role is part of a broader hiring spree at OpenAI, which has brought on more than a dozen lawyers recently, including high-profile recruits from companies like Google and Netflix, to address the increasing legal and regulatory scrutiny the company faces. This expanded legal team will tackle issues ranging from trust and safety protocols to lawsuits challenging OpenAI's business practices.OpenAI Swipes Match's Privacy Chief for New Data Protection RoleThe Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked the Biden administration's rule extending Title IX protections to include gender identity and sexual orientation in schools receiving federal funding. This ruling reverses a previous decision by an Alabama judge that allowed the rule to take effect. The rule, adopted in April, faced opposition from over half of U.S. states, leading to multiple lawsuits. Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina successfully appealed to the Eleventh Circuit after an initial failure to secure an injunction from the lower court. The appeals court argued that the rule significantly broadened the scope of Title IX beyond its original intent, potentially exceeding the Education Department's authority. The court cited the Supreme Court's definition of discrimination in *Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education*, which requires harassment to be severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive to qualify under Title IX. Judge Charles R. Wilson dissented, supporting the lower court's decision.Title IX Gender Identity Protections Blocked by Eleventh CircuitThe U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, has partially revived an Arizona law that requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. The ruling reinstates the provision that mandates documented proof for those using the state voter registration form, but leaves in place a lower court's block on similar requirements for the federal registration form. This decision comes after Arizona Republicans and the Republican National Committee requested the revival, following a federal judge's earlier block of the law due to challenges from the Biden administration and advocacy groups. The Supreme Court's ruling underscores ongoing debates over voting rights, especially in battleground states like Arizona.US Supreme Court partly revives Arizona's proof of citizenship voter law | ReutersIn my piece for Forbes on IRS data access and accountability, I highlight the challenges faced by the IRS in securing sensitive taxpayer information, given the vast number of employees and contractors with access. Traditional methods like rigorous vetting and background checks are not sufficient, as insider threats often come from those without prior misconduct. Instead of focusing solely on prevention through vetting, I argue that the IRS should prioritize making all data access traceable and creating formal, transparent avenues for reporting concerns.I propose that the IRS enhance its monitoring capabilities by using artificial intelligence to log and analyze every instance of data access. This would deter unauthorized access and help quickly identify the source of any breaches. Additionally, I suggest establishing an "Office of Public Integrity," a formal mechanism for employees and contractors to disclose information they believe is in the public interest. This office would provide a controlled, internal process for such disclosures, balancing transparency with the need to protect sensitive data. By implementing these measures, the IRS can improve data security and public trust.Bringing Leakers Into The Fold—IRS Data Access And AccountabilityThis week's closing theme is by Ludwig van Beethoven, a composer of some note.Ludwig van Beethoven, one of the most revered composers in classical music history, was born in 1770 in Bonn, Germany. His music bridged the Classical and Romantic eras, pushing the boundaries of composition and expression. Among his vast body of work, the Piano Sonata No. 16 in G Major, Op. 31, No. 1, composed in 1802, stands out as a prime example of his innovative style. This piece is part of a set of three sonatas (Op. 31) that Beethoven composed during a period of personal and artistic transformation. The first movement, Allegro vivace, is marked by its lively and playful character, reflecting Beethoven's desire to break away from the traditional sonata form and experiment with new ideas. The sonata was premiered on August 25th, 1802, offering audiences a glimpse into Beethoven's evolving musical vision. As this week's closing theme, the Allegro vivace offers a vibrant and energetic conclusion, embodying the spirit of Beethoven's creativity and the boldness that made him a giant in the world of music.Without further ado, Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 16 in G Major, Op. 31, No. 1, enjoy.  This is a public episode.

On this day in legal history, August 23 1927, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed in the United States. They were Italian-born American anarchists who were controversially convicted of murdering a guard and a paymaster during an armed robbery in 1920. Their trial and execution sparked protests and debates about the justice system, immigration, and political radicalism.Many were critical of the trial and its outcome, including Felix Frankfurter, who was at the time a professor at Harvard Law School and would go on to be appointed to the Supreme Court by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The trial of the Italian anarchists continues to be a subject of interest and debate, particularly regarding their guilt in armed robbery and murder. They were accused of killing two men during a robbery at a shoe factory, but there was no solid evidence linking them to the crime. Their arrest and trial occurred during a period of intense social unrest in the U.S., known as the "Red Scare," marked by anti-immigrant sentiment and fear of radical ideologies. The trial was heavily influenced by their anarchist beliefs and immigrant background, leading to their conviction on July 14, 1921. The proceedings were considered unfair, as the trial judge had sole authority over motions for a new trial and appellate rules limited review of evidence. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed on August 23, 1927, in a case that has since inspired various works of art and literature. The story serves as a reminder of the importance of a fair legal system and the dangers of prejudice and fear in the administration of justice.The Case of Sacco and Vanzetti - The AtlanticEdward Blum's anti-affirmative action group, The American Alliance for Equal Rights, has sued law firms Perkins Coie and Morrison Foerster, alleging that their diversity fellowships are unlawful following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn affirmative action. The suit claims that the firms' fellowships, aimed at hiring diverse candidates, are discriminatory. Perkins Coie has responded by affirming its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and has vowed to defend the lawsuit vigorously. Morrison Foerster has not commented on the matter.The lawsuit follows the Supreme Court's ruling against Harvard and the University of North Carolina, in which affirmative action in admissions was overturned. Since then, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) hiring initiatives have faced increased scrutiny, with warnings from Republican lawmakers that such initiatives may be illegal. Perkins Coie offers diversity fellowships for students from underrepresented backgrounds, including a $15,000 academic scholarship for first-year students and a $25,000 scholarship for second-year students. Morrison Foerster has been sponsoring legal diversity scholarship programs since the 1980s, providing $25,000 to students over two years. Similar programs are common in many large and mid-sized law firms.The American Bar Association is also reviewing the Supreme Court decision to ensure compliance while promoting diversity within the legal profession. The lawsuits against Perkins Coie and Morrison Foerster were filed in federal district courts in Dallas and Miami, respectively. This is part of Blum's continuing campaign against affirmative action, which recently included a lawsuit against a venture capital fund for financing startups run by Black women. The legal actions highlight the ongoing tension and debate surrounding affirmative action and diversity initiatives in the professional world.Perkins Coie, Morrison Foerster Sued Over DEI Programs (2)The former head of JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s precious-metals desk, Michael Nowak, and top trader Gregg Smith were sentenced to prison for spoofing, fraud, and attempted market manipulation. Nowak received a one-year and one-day term, while Smith was given two years, marking the harshest sentence in recent government efforts against questionable trading practices. The judge emphasized the seriousness of the offense, stating that it undermined market integrity. The sentences were meant to send a message that market manipulation will be punished. Both men plan to appeal their convictions.The case is part of a broader crackdown on illegal spoofing, where traders place and quickly cancel bogus orders to manipulate prices. Smith and Nowak used this technique to manipulate gold and silver prices from 2008 to 2016. Convictions in this case follow a series of wins by prosecutors against some of Wall Street's biggest banks. In 2020, JPMorgan agreed to pay $920 million to settle related allegations, the largest fine for market manipulation since the 2008 financial crisis.Witnesses, including three former team members who pleaded guilty, testified against Nowak and Smith, describing how they placed huge orders they never intended to execute. Spoofing became illegal after the passage of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, and the JPMorgan case highlights the ongoing efforts by federal authorities to ensure compliance and maintain trust in the financial markets.JPMorgan's ‘Most Prolific Spoofer' Gets Two Years in Prison (1)The U.S. Supreme Court has denied a request from West Virginia and 26 other Republican attorneys general to challenge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) funding mechanism at oral arguments this fall. The states had filed a petition in July, arguing their expertise in consumer protection issues gave them insight into how an unbounded CFPB could damage consumer-financial markets and impair states' abilities to regulate those markets. The Supreme Court denied the motion without explanation, in line with its rare granting of such motions. The court is set to hear arguments on October 3 in the CFPB's appeal to a ruling that declared the agency's funding unconstitutional.Supreme Court Blocks West Virginia Bid to Challenge CFPB FundingMeta Platforms, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, has been accused of breaking European data privacy rules in Norway, according to the country's data regulator, Datatilsynet. The regulator has imposed a fine of one million crowns ($94,145) per day since August 14 for breaching users' privacy by harvesting data and using it for targeted advertising. Meta is seeking a temporary injunction against the order, arguing that it had committed to ask for user consent and that the regulator's process was unnecessary and rushed. If the European Data Protection Board agrees with the Norwegian regulator's decision, the fine could become permanent and have wider implications across Europe.Facebook owner Meta breaks privacy rules, Norway regulator tells court | ReutersHollywood studios and streaming services released a revised proposal to the striking Writers' Guild of America (WGA) on Tuesday, but the union urged members to continue picketing, stating that the new offer failed to address all their concerns. The WGA, joined by members of the Screen Actors Guild, had walked off the job on May 2, halting productions across Hollywood and costing the California economy billions of dollars. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) changed its offer to include new details about compensation, minimum staffing, residual payments, and curbs on artificial intelligence.The latest proposal includes a compounded 13% pay increase over a three-year contract and stipulates that AI-generated content will not be considered "literary material." Streaming platforms also offered to provide the WGA with confidential quarterly reports on the total number of hours viewed for each made-for-streaming show.AMPTP President Carol Lombardini expressed commitment to ending the strike and hopefulness that the WGA would work toward resolution. However, the WGA met with executives from Walt Disney, Warner Bros, NBCUniversal Studio Group, and Netflix to discuss the new offer and stated that the meeting was an attempt to make them "cave."The union explained why the offer fell short and "failed to sufficiently protect writers from the existential threats that caused us to strike in the first place."

Im August 1927 wurden in den USA zwei italienische Einwanderer auf dem elektrischen Stuhl hingerichtet: Nicola Sacco und Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Im Zuge eines Indizienprozesses wurden die beiden Anarchisten von den Geschworenen schuldig gesprochen, bei einem Überfall auf einen Geldtransport zwei Menschen getötet zu haben. Das Urteil, auf das die Beschuldigten sechs Jahre warten mussten, wurde von massiven, internationalen Protesten begleitet. In vielen Städten weltweit kam es zu Demonstrationen.

On April 15, 1920, an armed robbery was committed at the Slater-Morrill Shoe Company in Braintree, Massachusetts, resulting in the death of two guards and the theft of at least $15,000 in payroll funds. Italian immigrant anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were accused and charged with first-degree murder. The pair's anarchists beliefs, advocating for the violent overthrow of political and capitalist institutions, and evasion of the World War I draft took center stage at the trial, overshadowing missing and contradictory evidence in the case. Influenced by presiding Judge Webster Thayer's obvious bias, which included calling the defendants "anarchist bastards," as well as the jury foreperson's publicly expressed predetermined verdict, Sacco and Vanzetti were sentenced to death. Worldwide, labor unions held protests and acclaimed writers and political influencers spoke out in support of Sacco and Vanzetti.

Watch GTP on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKdeO4IodggpSLyhWVdcWKw   Episode Details: Harvard University Associate Professor of History and Public Policy Moshik Temkin, author of The Sacco-Vanzetti Affair: America on Trial, discusses the larger implications of this 1920s Massachusetts murder trial and how its proceedings and subsequent international post-verdict protests revealed the U.S. justice system's implicit bias against immigrants. On April 15, 1920, an armed robbery was committed at the Slater-Morrill Shoe Company in Braintree, Massachusetts, resulting in the death of two guards and the theft of at least $15,000 in payroll funds. Italian immigrant anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were accused and charged with first-degree murder. The pair's anarchists beliefs, advocating for the violent overthrow of political and capitalist institutions, and evasion of the World War I draft took center stage at the trial, overshadowing missing and contradictory evidence in the case. Influenced by presiding Judge Webster Thayer's obvious bias, which included calling the defendants "anarchist bastards," as well as the jury foreperson's publicly expressed predetermined verdict, Sacco and Vanzetti were sentenced to death. Worldwide, labor unions held protests and acclaimed writers and political influencers spoke out in support of Sacco and Vanzetti. The pair, who were widely seen as political prisoners, were executed in the electric chair on August 23, 1927.

Protagonista di questa Recensione CaRfatica Podcast è un film tratto da una tragica storia vera. Uno dei processi più vergognosi e ingiusti che la storia umana possa ricordare. A distanza di più di un secolo, i nomi di Bartolomeo Vanzetti e Nicola Sacco, anarchici italiani accusati di rapina e omicidio, non sono ancora stati dimenticati e proprio la pellicola diretta magistralmente da Montaldo, ha avuto il merito di una parziale riabilitazione dei due emigrati italiani condannati da una politica ottusa e cieca e da un sistema che voleva dare un esempio a tutti i costi, anche se ciò significava spezzare sogni e vite di due persone arrivate nel Nuovo Continente con il solo obiettivo di avere una vita dignitosa. A parte le immense interpretazioni di Gian Maria Volontè e Riccardo Cucciolla, indimenticabile anche la colonna sonora dell'eterno maestro Morricone e la canzone Here's to you, cantata dalla voce dolcissima di Joan Baez.

K.J. Noh, writer and peace activist, joins us to discuss China. Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer has led the passing of a massive $250 billion spending bill that is alleged to be designed to counter China's technological advances over the US. The bill includes the usual neoliberal money-laundering as massive amounts of capital will be given away to corporations. Also, Schumer openly states that it is intended to maintain the US as the world's hegemonic hyperpower.Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss the upcoming summit between Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin. Ray McGovern has penned an article in which he reviews the circumstances leading up to the summit and discusses the pros and cons of the meeting. Ray concludes that the concept of American exceptionalism is at the heart of the enmity between the two world powers.Dan Cohen, filmmaker and writer for the Gray Zone Project, joins us to discuss Colombia. Recent investigations have revealed that some of the most violent notorious death squads in Colombia have been trained and equipped by the Israeli military and paramilitary units. Dan Cohen comes on to discuss his recent article in Mintpress News and his work on this issue. Leo Flores, Latin America coordinator for Code Pink, joins us to discuss the election results in Peru. Pedro Castillo, a farmer born of illiterate peasants, has won the election by a close margin and seems poised to move the South American nation in a leftward anti-imperialist direction. Will the US invent a motive for sanctions and attempt regime change through medieval siege warfare as they do in most of the Global South, or accept the reality that the region is moving away from a neoliberal empire?James Carey, editor/co-owner at Geopoliticsalert.com, joins us to discuss Iran. In what could be a death knell for the JCPOA, Antony Blinken Says that the Biden Administration will not fully remove the Trump-era sanctions levied against Iran. Also, in his latest antiwar.com article, Daniel Larison argues that "U.S.-Iran policy is marred by many flaws, and some of the worst are threat inflation, imperial arrogance, and hypocrisy."Caleb Maupin, journalist and political analyst, joins us to discuss the consequences of the UFO report due to be released any day. The mainstream media seems to be taking the opportunity of the UFO phenomenon to argue for increased military spending. This includes absurd insinuations that this otherworldly technology simply may be the usual boogeymen of Russia and China surging ahead of the US in aircraft technology.Peter Bolton joins us to discuss Venezuela. Peter joins our hosts to discuss his recent article in which he discusses the devastating results of the US sanctions on Venezuela.

Con questa puntata andiamo al carcere di Charlestown, a Boston, la notte tra il 22 e il 23 Agosto 1927. Sotto le sue alte mura di mattoni scuri si è radunata una folla di migliaia di persone, controllate da tantissimi poliziotti in assetto da battaglia, con mitragliatrici e riflettori sui tetti delle case che circondano la prigione. La città è paralizzata, perché quel giorno è stato indetto uno sciopero generale, ed è dal mattino che si susseguono scontri che causano numerosi feriti e centinaia di arresti. Man mano che il sole tramonta la tensione sorge. Alla luce delle fotoelettriche aumentano i cori, gli slogan, le urla. Fino a mezzanotte, quando all'improvviso cala un silenzio totale. La folla alza gli occhi verso il carcere, anche se non lo vedono, nascosto dietro i mattoni scuri. Noi invece a differenza loro possiamo sapere cosa sta succedendo quando è appena cominciato il 23 Agosto 1927. C'è un uomo che entra nella stanza della sedia elettrica del carcere. Entra e guarda negli occhi tutti gli uomini presenti. Si siede sulla sedia elettrica, e quando finiscono di sistemare le cinghie e il casco ha ancora la forza per gridare: “Viva l'Anarchia!”. Il boia ha bisogno di due scariche elettriche per porre fine alla sua vita. Subito dopo entra un altro uomo, che è stato arrestato e condannato insieme al primo. I suoi folti baffi nascondono uno strano sorriso. Prima di venire legato alla sedia elettrica stringe la mano a tutti i guardiani e dice: “Voglio ribadire che sono innocente. Ho commesso i miei peccati, ma mai un delitto. Ringrazio tutti quelli che si sono battuti per dimostrare la mia innocenza”. Mentre gli calano il casco sul capo, aggiunge: “Desidero perdonare le persone che mi stanno facendo questo”. Anche per lui serviranno due scariche di corrente. Si conclude in meno di mezz'ora una delle più controverse storie giudiziarie degli Stati Uniti d'America, quella del processo a Nicola Sacco e Bartolomeo Vanzetti, anarchici di origine italiana, durata sette anni e destinata a far parlare di sé ancora per decenni.

Luigi Botta"Le carte di Vanzetti"Aragno Editorewww.ninoaragnoeditore.itChi pensa che la vicenda di Nicola Sacco e di Bartolomeo Vanzetti possa aprirsi e chiudersi con le drammatiche scansioni temporali che prendono l'avvio con l'arresto del 5 maggio 1920 e si concludono con l'esecuzione capitale del 23 agosto 1927, ha una visione particolarmente limitata del caso. L'episodio giudiziario – che per gli anarchici rappresenta uno dei tanti momenti della battaglia epocale per la conquista libertaria e l'abolizione di ogni ingiustizia e autorità –, anche nei decenni successivi continua ad essere intensamente vissuto da chi, in tutto il mondo, prima l'ha combattuto con il chiaro intento di salvare l'esistenza dei due italiani riconoscendone l'innocenza, poi si è adoperato affinché la memoria del caso e la testimonianza dell'errore giudiziario non si perdessero nella notte dei tempi ma potessero rimanere a monito di tutte le persone giuste affinché analoghi casi non avessero più a verificarsi.Già all'indomani dell'esecuzione un duplice Comitato americano, a Boston e a New York, gettò le basi di un'azione universale che nel tempo avrebbe creato i presupposti per un coinvolgimento progressivo dei diversi ambiti, mettendo in moto un meccanismo d'interesse capace di sensibilizzare, oltre alle forze politiche e sociali già attive, anche quei campi d'intervento fino ad allora solo parzialmente chiamati in causa. La scultura fu la prima a rispondere all'appello, seguita dal teatro, dal cinema, dalla letteratura, dalla poesia, dalla pittura, dalla toponomastica, dai comics e da tutte le altre diverse espressioni della cultura universale, figurativa e non, che a cascata, prima negli Stati Uniti e poi altrove, diedero lustro alle figure di Nicola e Bartolomeo celebrandone l'immagine con l'unica attenzione di codificarne la vicenda per testimoniarla nel tempo ed evitare che simili forme pregiudiziali ed ostili avessero a verificarsi in futuro.I documenti, le «carte», rappresentano il trait d'union tra tutte le espressioni del coinvolgimento umano sul caso. La nascita del Comitato italiano con l'obiettivo di raggiungere la riabilitazione di Nick e Bart – promosso grazie alla caparbietà di Vincenzina Vanzetti –, contribuì poi ad allargare ulteriormente l'aerale della sensibilizzazione, sollecitando non solo le azioni legali e sociali, ma promuovendo ancor più quei momenti di cultura diffusa, popolare e non, che poco alla volta resero reale la sensazione dell'universalità del caso.Anche il proclama del Governatore del Massachusetts, Michael Dukakis, che nel 1977 riconobbe l'errore giudiziario e decretò il Sacco & Vanzetti day, non pose fine all'azione di diffusa sensibilizzazione, che prosegue ancora oggi. In queste pagine si è ricostruito il filo dell'intera storia – successiva all'esecuzione – indagando Le carte di Vanzetti, quelle che la famiglia, con rigore, perseveranza e passione, prima, durante e dopo i tragici fatti degli anni Venti, ha raccolto meticolosamente in Italia e altrove, ha conservato e ha infine reso di dominio collettivo, predisponendo così la conoscenza di atti e documenti, pubblici e privati, indispensabili per la completezza di un'informazione reale ed obiettiva sul caso.Luigi Botta insegnante, comincia ad occuparsi di storia nel 1972 scrivendo del caso di Sacco e Vanzetti, sul quale sei anni più tardi pubblica un libro con la prefazione di Pietro Nenni.

We Need To Keep That Spirit Alive: anarchist prisoner Eric King and partner speak ***Update: Eric King started a 5 day trial on August 26th, 2019, in Denver, CO on the charges of assaulting Lieutenant Wilcox at FCI Florence. Here's background on that here in Eric's own words. Court and legal fund support is being requested and updates are up on his support site, as of now the latest update is here.*** This week on The Final Straw, we feature two main guests, anarchist prisoner Eric King and a member of his defense committee who is also Eric's partner. This podcast is being released on the 3rd day of the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners from August 23-30th. The dates relate to the execution date of Italian-American anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, August 23, 1927. More info on the week, including materials and ways to share your solidarity are up at Solidarity.International and you can donate to the International Anarchist Defense Fund at afund.antirep.net. While the majority of the show will be filled by anarchist political prisoner, Eric King, we'll be wrapping it in words from his partner, who also sits on his support committee. Eric was incarcerated in 2014 for an attempted night-time arson on the Kansas City office of Missouri U.S. Democratic Representative Emanuel Cleaver. Eric claimed this was in solidarity the community of Ferguson that was in revolt in response to the killing and desecration of young Mike Brown at the hands of the police, known as the Ferguson Uprising. Eric has been generally without phone access for 3 years. Eric, who just had his 33rd birthday, recently suffered a stroke. He's been at 9 facilities in the last year. He has visible anti-fascist tattoo's and because of this and his anarchism and outspoken perspectives, he has been pitted against antagonistic correctional officers and nazi gang members and force to fight for survival. Eric frequently loses his commissary funds when he is moved. He hasn't read a book in 6 months because he hasn't been allowed any. For the hour of our broadcast, Eric talks about his health, his political stance, dealing with nazi's on the inside, his views on the anti-fascist struggle on the outside, the loss of Tom Manning and supporting political prisoners, counter-recruiting nazi's and other topics. You can find his writings, art, and updates on his situation at SupportEricKing.org. The message that we are building off of can be found archived in video form here: https://archive.org/details/ericking08172019. The other main voice you'll hear is that of Eric's partner, who's a member of his support committee. What you'll hear in the radio broadcast is only a tiny, iceberg tip, of this person's words, what we could fit in an hour. If you'd like to hear more of what they have to say check out the podcast. We speak about changes in the Federal Bureau of Prisons system, specific things that BOP prisoners and their families and supporters have to deal with, the culture of shortcomings in how people engage family and loved ones of prisoners, increasing use of communication management units (also known as CMU's) and in particular Administrative US Penitentiary Thomson, in Thomson, IL, which is used as a holding facility where prisoners awaiting CMU status decisions basically sit meanwhile in CMU status while they wait. This marks a continued growing in the logic of incarceration in our civilization towards more isolation, new sweetheart prison building contracts, more contol, more beds to fill, more punishment of what might be mental health distress and trauma responses among prisoners. The guest speaks about the potential impact on ICE detainees who are speculated to be put in this facility. As Eric gets transferred from county facility to county facility of Federal overflow, his commissary doesn't move with him. So, his support committee is handling purchases of communication access, medical funds, moneys for buying vegan foods and supplements and other needs on his behalf.

As he moves around and things change, info on his case can be found at SupportEricKing.org.

Blackjewel is the 6th largest coal operator in the United States, and on July 1st of this year, it declared bankruptcy. On July 29th, five miners set out to blockade a Blackjewel train carrying one million dollars of coal in protest of being denied their last three weeks of wages and retirement funds. The blockade has since bloomed into an active camp site made up of miners, their families, and supporters. The camp is committed to blocking the train until Blackjewel pays the miners.

Nicola Sacco y Bartolomeo Vanzetti nacieron en Italia. Eran obreros y seguidores del anarquista Luigi Galleani. Cuando eran muy jóvenes, emigraron a los Estados Unidos. En ese país, fueron encontrados culpables de dos crímenes que no cometieron. El juicio duró apenas unas horas y estuvo marcado por las ideas antiitalianas, antiinmigrantes y antianarquistas de los jueces. Después de seis años de protestas, apelaciones y presión internacional, fueron condenados a la silla eléctrica. En esta carta, escrita desde la cárcel, dicen: "No queremos morir inútilmente". Lo lograron. Se convirtieron en un símbolo mundial de la lucha obrera. "Sacco y Vancetti" es el nombre de una obra de teatro sobre este caso. La escribió el dramaturgo y director Mauricio Kartun, quien lee este episodio de Epistolar. ****** 18 de octubre de 1921. Cárcel de Dedham, Mass. Hemos sido erróneamente condenados por un atroz asesinato que otras personas cometieron. El crimen es completamente extraño a la lucha de los trabajadores para mejorar su situación. No tenemos miedo a la muerte. Todo trabajador, como siervo del capitalismo, afronta millones de veces la muerte en el cumplimiento de sus tareas. No tememos la muerte, pero nos rebelamos angustiados al pensar que debemos morir por un delito que no hemos cometido, por un hecho que no tiene ningún significado social. Desde los primeros años de nuestra juventud hasta el momento de la detención dimos nuestro tiempo, nuestras fatigas y los medios que ganábamos penosamente a la educación de los trabajadores, preparándolos para el día que el proletariado sepa emanciparse. No somos vulgares malhechores que robamos y matamos. Ningún hombre en condiciones mentales normales comete un asesinato. Los delitos de violencia son la demostración precisa de que la actual sociedad está en condiciones anormales que determinan esas formas especiales de delincuencia. No es preciso aquí repetir la historia de nuestro proceso y de nuestra condena. Una red diabólica de mentiras fue construida en nuestro daño y algunos inocentes actos nuestros fueron hábilmente falseados por la mentalidad insidiosa de aquellos que en los defensores del trabajo, ven solamente enemigos de la sociedad. El capitalismo americano no llega a comprender que un trabajador pueda ser un activo luchador contra la explotación y al mismo tiempo tener una inteligencia y un corazón que repudien los hechos de violencia. El complot tuvo el último retoque al ponerse en evidencia nuestra fe en la justicia de las reivindicaciones de los trabajadores. Esta razón fue suficiente para condenarnos. Si vamos a la silla eléctrica iremos, no porque se haya demostrado que somos culpables del delito que se nos atribuye, sino por nuestros ideales. E iremos permaneciendo fieles a nuestros principios, los cuales, si hoy son rechazados y combatidos, mañana dominarán la vida. Si morimos, moriremos con la convicción de que los hómbres de vanguardia deben morir siempre. Deseamos, mientras tanto, que nuestra muerte no ocurra en vano y que vosotros, trabajadores que hacéis posible la vida de la sociedad moderna, haréis que nuestro sacrificio sea más elocuente y útil al progreso social que lo sería nuestra vida. No queremos morir inútilmente. Si hemos de morir, haced al menos que nuestro sacrificio contribuya a abrir el camino a un mundo en el que no existan más las clases dominantes, sofocando las aspiraciones de la libertad. Nicolás Sacco Bartolomé Vanzetti

If I were to make a list of the most notorious murder cases in American history, the Sacco and Vanzetti case would certainly make my top ten.  In April of 1920, two payroll guards were gunned during a robbery in Braintree, Massachusetts. Police immediately honed in on two Italian-born anarchists, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, and charged them with murder.  My guest, Susan Tejada, author of "In Search of Sacco and Vanzetti: Double Lives, Troubled Times and the Massachusetts Murder Case That Shook the World", dives into the case in detail. And it's fascinating - from a questionable police investigation, including confusing ballistics evidence, to a biased judge, to an ignored confession, this is a case that caused a world-wide outcry over a failed legal process, which led to the eventual execution of both men.  Learn more about your ad choices.

interview with activist historian Saku Pinta for broadcast on @radiockut. interview was inspired by this article : The Mysteries of a Hobo's Life: Uncovering a Forgotten Revolutionary http://activehistory.ca/2019/01/the-mysteries-of-a-hobos-life-uncovering-a-forgotten-revolutionary/ within the article Saku writes : "This black and white photograph appears, at first glance, to be quite ordinary. An unidentified man poses in front of a tar paper shack, possibly at a logging camp, hands clasped behind his back. His stony gaze is contemplative, confident. Perhaps even defiant. Little else is known about this individual, aside from the near certainty that he lost his life prematurely and tragically, likely dying for his convictions. Who was this man? While it is possible that we may never know for certain, examining this photograph reveals a story interwoven with the enduring themes of class, ethnicity, justice, and memory. The significance of the photograph, and the first clue in the difficult task of determining the man's identity, is revealed through his inclusion in a collage of six labour martyrs. The creator(s) of the long forgotten collage, also unknown, believed that the unknown man belonged in this collection, suggesting that he too met a similar fate as the others. Yet unlike the others, the photograph of this individual is not a mass produced, postcard-sized portrait photo. Rather, it appears to be a one-off, original photograph, possibly local in origin. The assembled photographs tell a grim tale of violent class relations in the twentieth century. The trial and execution of three of the men featured in the collage – union artist and songwriter Joe Hill and the Italian anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti – attracted worldwide attention. All three became powerful symbols of a judicial system tarnished by an anti-immigrant bias that fueled their convictions, a prejudice further intensified by their political beliefs, and expedited by their low economic status. While lesser known, the other three men in the collage – union organizers Frank Little , Wesley Everest, and William McKay – all lost their lives brutally at the hands of anti-union vigilantes. Since their murderers were never apprehended, their deaths appeared to confirm to others like them – poor, itinerant workers who sought to improve their incomes and working conditions through collective action – that the law did not apply equally to all people."

Sprecher ist Uwe Kullnick Das große US-Epos um Klassenjustiz und staatliche Willkür jetzt in deutscher Neuübersetzung Vom Tellerwäscher zum Märtyrer – die Namen Sacco und Vanzetti stehen für den Wirklichkeit gewordenen amerikanischen Alptraum. Ihr Schicksal erschütterte Millionen Menschen weltweit in ihrem Glauben an Recht und Ordnung. Upton Sinclair, engagierter Romancier und Gesellschaftskritiker, inszenierte die realen Geschehnisse der Zwanzigerjahre als fesselndes literarisches Epochendrama. Glamour, Jazz und endlose Partys: Das waren die Roaring Twenties. Allerdings ist das nur die halbe Wahrheit – Upton Sinclair zeigt uns die ganze. Denn während die Happy Few feierten, wurden die Massen mittels brutaler Klassenjustiz niedergehalten. Am Beispiel der einflussreichen Ostküsten-Sippe Thornwell zeigt «Boston», wie das System staatlich sanktionierter Korruption funktionierte. Als Kulminationspunkt dient der Schauprozess gegen die zwei bekanntesten Justizopfer der amerikanischen Geschichte, Nicola Sacco und Bartolomeo Vanzetti, die 1927 wegen Mordes hingerichtet wurden. In diesem ergreifenden Buch geht es um die moralische Glaubwürdigkeit offizieller Repräsentanten und Institutionen, um Menschenliebe und Bürgerpflicht, um Gerechtigkeit und den Mut zur Wahrheit.

Italian Anarchists Professed Innocence Until Their Deaths It was a bold and brutal crime: robbery and murder in broad daylight on the streets of South Braintree, Mass., in 1920. Tried for the crime and convicted, two Italian-born laborers, anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, went to the electric chair in 1927, professing their innocence. Journalist Susan Tejada has spent years in the Library of Congress and elsewhere investigating the case, sifting through diaries and police reports and interviewing descendants of its major figures. She discovers little-known facts about Sacco, Vanzetti and their supporters, and develops a tantalizing theory about how a doomed insider may have been coerced into helping professional criminals plan the heist. Tejada's close-up view of the case allows readers to see those involved as individual personalities. She also paints a fascinating portrait of a bygone era: Providence gangsters and Boston Brahmins; nighttime raids and midnight bombings; and immigration, unionism, draft-dodging and violent anarchism in the turbulent early years of the 20th century. In many ways this is as much a cultural history as a true-crime mystery or courtroom drama. Because the case played out against a background of domestic terrorism, it offers a new appreciation of the potential connection between fear and the erosion of civil liberties and miscarriages of justice. Tejada is a former writer and editor at the National Geographic Society, where she was the editor-in-chief of National Geographic World magazine and the author or managing editor of geography books for young readers. A native of Providence, R.I., she served with the Peace Corps in the Philippines. For captions, transcript, and more information visit http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=5566.

Nicola Sacco and Bartolmeo Vanzetti, Italian anarchists, were executed unjustly in 1927 for armed robbery and murder of two pay-clerks in Massachusetts. The case caused quite a stir at the time as for many the conviction was not for murder, but for being anarchists and immigrants. They were pardoned in 1977 by Governor Michael Dukakis. In 1947, twenty years after the execution, my father commissioned an album of original songs penned and sung by Woody Guthrie about the trial, an album Woody himself believed was his most important work.

November 30, 2006 Sisters and Brothers, The right wing forces of Philadelphia and wherever else were not able to pull off their attempt to intimidate the French with threats of a legal suit, with offers of life in prison without parole (which they had no power to enforce), and after being prepared for in France, both in Saint-Denis and in Paris, with Pam Africa and Ramona Africa right there, with a series of meetings with the mayors, with demonstrations, and a press conference -- backed off completely and never even showed up! All Power to the People! The international solidarity movement for Mumia just won a great victory in forcing the enemy to back down. See the message below from Saint-Denis. Also, check out Mumia's perfectly pronounced French message to the press conference tomorrow in Paris on www.prisonradio.org, under messages. [Or here it, and all of Mumia's commentaries, on his podcast. Go to http://mumiapodcast.libsyn.com/ for more info] -Suzanne Ross, Co-Chair of the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition, NYC Here's the latest letter from Saint Denis city hall in response to the "non-existant delegation" and their demands... We just got it today: Press release The city hall of Saint Denis denounces the manipulations of certain ultra-conservative pressure groups, and reasserts its commitment in favor of Mumia Abu-Jamal. The city hall of Saint Denis re-affirms yet again its support to the women and men who are demanding Mumia Abu-Jamal be treated with fairness and justice. The picket this 30th day of November 2006 has been organized to protest against the pressure brought to bear on the city of Saint Denis by members of the american extreme right in order to bring about the cancellation of our decision to name one of our streets after an African American militant who has been unfairly incarcerated and sentenced to the death penalty. This ultra conservative pressure group, based in Philadelphia, has not hesitated to make use of the grossest manipulations. Thus, the widely disseminated information according to which the city of Philadelphia is suing the cities of Saint Denis and Paris, because of their commitment in favor of Mumia Abu-Jamal - is nothing but a lie. The Mayor of Philadelphia, as well as the president of its city council, informed the city of Saint Denis that they never intended to file any kind of suit, and have absolutely nothing to do with this campaign. This manipulation was unmasked, and it should be know that the Philadelphia politician who initiated it, though a member of George Bush's party, was defeated during the recent american elections. Whatever the case may be, the city hall of Saint Denis is proud to have named a street of this city in honor of Mumia Abu-Jamal, who has become one of the symbols, of the struggle for justice and the abolition of the death penalty in the US and throughout the world. It is not the first time that an international mobilization has taken place in favor of American citizens who are unfairly sentenced in their own country. Such was the case for Nicola Sacco, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, between 1920 and 1927, for Julius and Ethel Rosenberg who died on the electric chair in 1953, and subsequently in 1972 for Angela Davis initially sentenced for murder, before being acquitted of all charges. The city hall of Saint Denis will steadfastly pursue the struggle to save Mumia Abu-Jamal, so that this man incarcerated for a quarter of a century for a crime he has always claimed he did not commit - be reinstated in his human rights.
