Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert Bowers

Sinds de moord op elf Joden in een synagoge in Pittsburgh, in 2018, de meest fatale antisemitische aanval in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis, gaat er een discussie rond op sociale media over het motief van de dader, vrachtautochauffeur Robert Bowers. Die zou hebben geloofd in de theorie van ‘blanke genocide’, zogenaamd een Joods complot dat niet-blanken aanmoedigt naar Amerika te emigreren met als doel het blanke ras te ‘elimineren’. Je zou zeggen dat ‘blanke genocide’ op de stapel kan van de vele andere antisemitische en racistische theorieën die zoal de ronde doen, ook in de Verenigde Staten. Maar wat de massamoord in Pittsburgh nog extra ernstig maakte was dat Elon Musk in 2023, een jaar nadat hij het toenmalige Twitter had gekocht, op zijn eigen platform de theorie onderschreef. Hij noemde ‘blanke genocide’ simpelweg ‘de waarheid’. Dat leidde tot een stevige rel en een felle reprimande van de toenmalige president Biden. ‘Wij veroordelen deze weerzinwekkende promotie van antisemitische en racistische haat in de sterkst denkbare termen’, zei Bidens woordvoerder. IBM en Apple trokken zich terug als adverteerder op X. Een jaar geleden eiste Musk via de rechtbank in Californië dat het Centrum voor het Bestrijden van Digitale Haat zou stoppen met het publiceren van rapporten over het toenemende racisme, antisemitisme en extremistische op X sinds hij eigenaar was. De rechter wees de eis af, tot vreugde van de directeur van het de organisatie, Imran Ahmed. Vorige week deelde Musk op X het bericht van een gebruiker die beweerde dat Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler en Mao Zedong niet de oorzaak waren van de dood van miljoenen mensen, maar werknemers in overheidsdienst. Met andere woorden: het was de schuld van ambtenaren. Dat paste, dacht hij ongetwijfeld, naadloos in zijn onvermoeibare ijver bij het huidige massaontslag van ambtenaren dat hij voor en namens president Trump uitvoert. Ambtenaren zijn immers schurken. Er ontstond een hoop stampij, waarop Musk zijn bericht verwijderde. Maar een deel van zijn 219 miljoen volgers heeft het ongetwijfeld gelezen. Hetzelfde geldt voor zijn enthousiaste steun voor ultrarechtse politici als Javier Milei in Argentinië, Jair Bolsonaro in Brazilië, Narendra Modi in India en Alice Weidel, leider van de Duitse AfD. Elon Musk is een antisemiet en racist, daar kan geen twijfel over bestaan. En zijn baas, de president van de Verenigde Staten? In het Engels is daar een uitstekende term voor: guilty by association.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Biden commutes sentences of 37 federal death row prisoners President Biden used his clemency authority Monday to commute the sentences of 37 of the 40 men on federal death row to life without parole, in one of the most significant moves taken against capital punishment in recent presidential history. Biden did not commute the sentences of three men who were involved in cases of terrorism or hate-fueled mass murder, including Robert Bowers, convicted for the 2018 mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue; Dylann Roof, convicted for the 2015 mass shooting at a Black church in Charleston, S.C.; and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev,...

First up on today's wide-ranging show, Ralph speaks to political scientist Adolph Reed about how American politics has started taking its cues from professional wrestling and how the left can rebuild itself. Then, we welcome Steve Silberstein from National Popular Vote to update us on their interstate compact's progress. Finally, we're joined by three interns from the American Museum of Tort Law—Dylan Bird, Gabriel Duffany, and Rachel Donovan discuss a rather unique summer assignment.Adolph Reed is Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania and an organizer with the Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute's Medicare for All-South Carolina initiative, and co-host of Class Matters Podcast. His most recent books are The South: Jim Crow and Its Afterlives and (with Walter Benn Michaels) No Politics but Class Politics.One of the things that struck me, especially, is during the pandemic it was striking to see how much full-blown animus toward government— or toward the idea of public and public goods—that there is out there in society at large. And we know Heritage (and the rest of the reactionary, the Koch brothers) have been fueling that and stoking that kind of resentment for as long as they've been around, frankly, right…But what's different is that since the Clinton years, the Democrats have been just as likely to attack the idea of government or public goods and public services, right? And they're more likely to do it backhandedly…So there hasn't been any space for people to connect even the fact that they like to go to the public library or like to use the public park with this bipartisan, full-bore attack on the idea of government. And that has gone so far and so deeply within society.Adolph ReedSteve Silberstein founded and served as the first president of Innovative Interfaces Inc., a leading supplier of computer software for the automation of college and city libraries. Mr. Silberstein sold his interest in the company in 2001 and now devotes his time to philanthropic and civic matters, one of which is sitting on the Board of Directors of National Popular Vote.Of the states that have passed [the National Popular Vote compact], it's mostly been with Democratic votes. Because for a while there's been a theory that Republicans couldn't win the national popular vote. That's why they opposed it. But now that they have actually won the popular vote this time around, that theory which caused some of them to oppose it has gone by the wayside.Steve SilbersteinThere's no reason for [Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan being “swing states”]. You know, those states didn't even exist when the constitution was established. It's just purely an accident…Those states are not typical of the United States—each state is unique in some way. So, Wisconsin has a big dairy industry. Pennsylvania has coal mining or fracking or something like that. So the candidates just concentrate on those—what are really very obscure issues to most of the people in the country. These states are not typical. They are not representative in any way shape or form of the rest of the country.Steve SilbersteinDylan Bird is a sophomore at St Lawrence University, pursuing a double major in Global Studies and Spanish on a Pre Law Track. Gabriel Duffany is a sophomore at the University of Connecticut, pursuing a double major in Human Rights and Communication also on a Pre Law Track, and he is an intern at the American Museum of Tort Law. Rachel Donovan is the Outreach Coordinator at the American Museum of Tort Law, and she is pursuing studies in education. All three recently worked as summer interns at the American Museum of Tort Law in the VoxBox Civic Engagement Summer Course, and they participated in Ralph Nader's Dictionary Pilot.It's a very daunting task when somebody hands you a full dictionary—over a thousand pages or so—and asks you to read it front-to-back. Once you start to actually sink your teeth into it…I actually found it to be a very positive experience. Rather than simply looking up individual words and ending your journey there, the goal really becomes the exploration of knowledge.Dylan BirdFor me, what really did stand out wasn't the individual words. It was more so the process of defining that I found the most compelling. So it showed up to me in the linguistic sense that these aren't exact definitions here. They're more so measurements, gauges of people's public opinions and definitions that would shift over time. So it was interesting to see how the evolution of words came, how meanings evolved over time with new technologies, new cultural moments. And as a news writer, I found that fascinating—the complexities of a word, the connotations that go with it, they can make or break the framing of any certain topic.Gabriel DuffanyI think that this project could be very important for students of all ages because it's not often that you would use a physical dictionary very much anymore—versus just going online and looking up a word. And now multiple definitions could come up—you may not even find exactly what you're looking for, because words undergo new meanings on a near-daily basis. And I think having the chance to read the original definition may give students new meanings to words that they may have thought they had the knowledge of due to social media.Rachel DonovanNews 12/25/241. On December 19th, the Teamsters announced they would launch “the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history.” This strike covers nearly 10,000 Amazon workers who have joined the Teamsters, with workers taking to the picket line in New York City Atlanta, Southern California, San Francisco and Skokie, Illinois. Teamsters President Sean O'Brien is quoted saying “If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon's insatiable greed. We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it…This strike is on them.” Scenes from this strike went viral over the holidays; one video posted by Labor Notes journalist Luis Feliz Leon shows NYPD officers guarding a path for Amazon trucks to depart after clearing away a blockade by striking workers – in case you were wondering whose side the cops are on.2. In more Amazon union news, INDY Week's Lena Geller reports that on December 23rd Amazon workers filed for a union election at the RDU1 warehouse in Garner, North Carolina. These workers are organizing under the auspices of Carolina Amazonians for Solidarity and Empowerment, aka CAUSE, which states that “despite an illegal campaign of intimidation by Amazon, which is desperate to keep unions out to continue paying poverty wages and failing to improve dismal work conditions,” the union believes they have “easily” exceeded the 30% card check threshold to demand an election. If successful, RDU1 would become the first unionized Amazon facility in the South.3. Independent investigative journalists Ken Klippenstein and Dan Boguslaw are out with a report on a potential conflict of interest in the Luigi Mangione prosecution. Apparently, “Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker, who is overseeing pre-trial hearings for…Mangione, is married to a former Pfizer executive.” Judge Parker's husband, Bret Parker, had served as Vice President and assistant general counsel at Wyeth, and held the same titles after that company was purchased by Pfizer. According to financial disclosures, Mr. Parker still collects a pension from Pfizer in the form of a “Senior Executive Retirement Plan.” The Parkers also own hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of stock in Pfizer itself, along with other pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare companies. These holdings raise grave questions about the impartiality of this judge.4. In more news from New York, Gothamist reports New York Governor Kathy Hochul has vetoed a bill which would have “reversed New York's longstanding ban on jury service for anyone convicted of felonies at any point in their lives. If enacted, the bill would have allowed people with felony convictions to serve only after completing their sentences, including parole.” This bill passed with the support of the New York Civil Liberties Union and Phil Desgranges, an attorney at The Legal Aid Society, called this bill “common-sense legislation.” State Senator Jabari Brisport wrote “Fun fact about [New York] politics. The Governor has until end of year to sign bills so she usually waits until [the] holiday season and vetoes a bunch right before Christmas, hoping no one notices.” The Gothamist piece notes that Hochul vetoed 132 bills over the weekend.5. Turning to Israel, a remarkable story in unfolding around the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. According to Democracy Now!, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is planning to skip the anniversary “out of fears he might be arrested for committing war crimes in Gaza.” As we have documented on this program, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant in November, and since then various countries have grappled with their obligations under international law to arrest the pair. While certain ICC signatory nations like Germany and France have sought to weasel out of these commitments, according to this report, “Poland's deputy foreign minister recently confirmed Poland would comply with the ICC arrest warrants if Netanyahu visited.”6. On the domestic front, newly elected Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar has sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin demanding that the Biden administration withhold new transfers of offensive weaponry to the Israeli military. In this letter, he and other progressive members of Congress make clear that the administration itself has “correctly identified steps the Israeli government must take in order for continued transfers…to be in accordance with U.S. law,” and that “the Israeli government has failed to take sufficient action or change course.” This letter is signed by 20 members of Congress including Casar himself along with Summer Lee, James McGovern, Mark Pocan, Pramila Jayapal, Sara Jacobs, AOC, Rashida Tlaib, and others.7. In a stunning story picked up by POLITICO, Republican Congresswoman Kay Granger – chair of the critical House Appropriations Committee until last April – has been missing in action for months. Despite continuing to hold her Texas seat, she has not cast a vote at all since July. Calls to her office went unanswered and unreturned. Visits to her office found it vacant. And when investigative reporters sought her out, they wound up finding her in an assisted living facility wracked with dementia. This story is tragic; Granger's son has spoken out since publication, addressing how rapidly his mother's mental decline has progressed. Yet, this is just the most striking example of the gerontocracy that has gripped Capitol Hill. And at least Granger had the sense remaining to recuse herself from votes; rebellious Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is quoted saying he's “more concerned about the congressmen who have dementia and are still voting.”8. Moving to some good news, the Federal Trade Commission announced last week that they, along with the Attorney General of Illinois, have reached a $25 million settlement with food delivery giant GrubHub, stemming from the firm's engagement in “an array of unlawful practices including deceiving diners about delivery costs and blocking their access to their accounts and funds, deceiving workers about how much money they would make delivering food, and unfairly and deceptively listing restaurants on its platform without their permission.” In addition to the monetary penalty, the company must make significant changes to its operations model, including “telling consumers the full cost of delivery, honestly advertising pay for drivers, and listing restaurants on its platform only with their consent.” This is a victory for consumers, workers, restaurants, but perhaps above all, the rule of law. As FTC Chair Lina Khan puts it “There is no ‘gig platform' exemption to the laws on the books.”9. On December 23rd, President Biden announced that he would commute the death sentences for 37 out of the 40 federal prisoners on death row, in a major victory for ending executions by the state. These sentences have been commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In a statement, Biden wrote “I've dedicated my career to reducing violent crime and ensuring a fair and effective justice system…Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss. But… I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level.” He ends this statement by alluding to the fact that as president he has imposed a moratorium on federal executions and fears that the incoming Trump administration will resume state-sponsored killings. Per AP, the three inmates whose sentences were not commuted are: Dylann Roof, the Mother Emanuel AME Church shooter, Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and Tree of Life Synagogue shooter Robert Bowers.10. Finally, on Christmas Eve, Bernie Sanders issued a statement laying out “How to Make America Healthy Again,” echoing the language used by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Under Bernie's plan, this initiative would include Medicare for All, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, paid family and medical leave, a 32-hour work week, raising the minimum wage, and reforms to the food industry itself, such as banning junk food ads and stronger warning labels on high-sugar products. As with Bernie's qualified embrace of the “Department of Government Efficiency” this should be seen as a savvy move to call the Trump team's bluff. Will they really go after big sugar? Or will they bend the knee to their corporate benefactors yet again?This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

In this episode of the Spine & Nerve Show, Dr. Robert Bowers joins Dr. Brian Joves to discuss the progression of young athletes in throwing sports, such as baseball. He emphasizes the importance of allowing children to play multiple sports and avoid specializing too early. Dr. Bowers also highlights the risks associated with overuse injuries and the need for rest periods. He discusses the role of mechanics and training programs in preventing injuries and increasing velocity. Dr. Bowers also touches on the use of biologics, such as PRP, in the treatment of injuries in young athletes.​ About The Guest: Dr. Robert Bowers is a sports medicine physician at Emory in Atlanta, Georgia. He specializes in the treatment of throwing athletes and has a particular interest in baseball injuries. Dr. Bowers has extensive experience working with athletes at all levels, including professional baseball players and college athletes. He is passionate about helping athletes optimize their performance and prevent injuries.​ Key Takeaways: - Young athletes should play multiple sports to develop athleticism and motor skills. - Rest periods are crucial for preventing overuse injuries in young athletes.- Proper mechanics and training programs can help prevent injuries and increase velocity. - Weighted ball programs can increase velocity but also carry an increased risk of injury. - Biologics, such as PRP, can be used to treat certain injuries in young athletes.​ Quotes: "If these kids can take three months of throwing off, four months, even better, that should be good to allow their arm to rest."- "The harder you throw, the more at risk your arm is." "Velocity gets kids noticed, but it also increases injury risk." "Weighted ball programs increase velocity but also increase injury risk." "The way to deal with increased intensity is to decrease volume."

On October 27, 2018, Robert Bowers entered the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh shouting “All Jews must die!” He then proceeded to open fire. After the chaos had settled, eleven people had been murdered and six more critically wounded. It is the most violent antisemitic attack ever perpetrated on American soil. 

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis met with 13 survivors of clerical sex abuse on his first day in Portugal and urged the Church to listen to “the anguished cry of the victims.” The emotional private meeting at Lisbon's apostolic nunciature, or Vatican embassy, on Wednesday night was a moment of “intense listening” by the pope and lasted more than an hour, according to the Vatican. Representatives from Catholic institutions working for the protection of minors in Portugal accompanied the victims. In a speech to Portuguese clergy immediately before the pope's encounter with the abuse survivors, Francis acknowledged the “anger with which some people view the Church” due to “the scandals that have marred her face.” Pope Francis called for “a humble, ongoing purification, starting with the anguished cry of the victims, who must always be accepted and listened to.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254988/pope-francis-meets-with-clerical-abuse-survivors-urges-church-to-hear-victims-anguished-cry Church attendance has dropped off since the pandemic for Generation X more sharply than for other age groups, according to a new survey. The survey of 2,000 adults conducted by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University found that the percentage of people ages 39 to 57 who attended a worship service during the week, either in person or online, fell to 28% in 2023, down from 41% in 2020, the Wall Street Journal reported this week. Gen Xers saw the largest percentage drop among the age groups surveyed. The percentage of Gen Xers who worship weekly is now as low as among millennials, at 28%, the survey posits. In fact, the oft-maligned millennial generation experienced during the pandemic the least amount of change in their perspectives about the Christian faith and their participation in biblical practice, the researchers assert. Among baby boomers, the results of this survey suggest a slight upward trend in church attendance in the past three years, the only age group for which this was true. Participation among the elderly fell only slightly. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254992/generation-xers-church-attendance-drops-to-millennial-levels-survey-suggests The shooter who killed nearly a dozen in an antisemitic 2018 massacre was sentenced to death Wednesday by a federal jury. He is the first person to be condemned to death under the Biden administration, which placed the federal death penalty under moratorium in 2021. The October 2018 shooting saw Robert Bowers, 50, enter Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue during morning Shabbat prayer services. He killed 11 and injured several, including police officers. Bowers' attorneys argued that he suffers from mental illness, a suggestion that prosecutors disputed. As a candidate for president, Joe Biden, a Catholic, called for the elimination of the death penalty. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254986/tree-of-life-synagogue-shooter-handed-federal-death-penalty Today, the Church celebrates Saint John Vianney, patron of priests. As a parish priest in 19th century France, he prayed and worked for the conversion of his parishioners. Although he saw himself as unworthy of his mission as pastor, he allowed himself to be consumed by the love of God as he served the people. His reputation as a confessor grew rapidly, and pilgrims traveled from all over France to come to him in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Firmly committed to the conversion of the people, he would spend up to 16 hours a day in the confessional. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-john-mary-vianney-322

Robert Bowers, who killed 11 worshippers at a Pittsburgh synagogue, sentenced to death. Listen for more details.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

In a significant development, a federal jury has determined that Robert Bowers, the gunman responsible for the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in US history at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, is eligible for the death penalty. Bowers was found guilty of numerous federal hate crimes last month. The jury agreed unanimously on three key factors: Bowers' age at the time of the shooting, his intent, and the presence of aggravating factors such as the vulnerability of some victims. The sentencing phase of the trial will decide whether Bowers receives life imprisonment or the death penalty. In other news, Pope Francis has announced the addition of 21 new cardinals to the Catholic Church, including prelates from Jerusalem and Hong Kong. The ceremony to install the new cardinals will take place on September 30 at the Vatican. The appointments will increase the number of Cardinal electors in the conclave to 137. Vatican correspondent John Allen speculates that one of the newly appointed cardinals, Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernandez, may be a possible successor to Pope Francis in the next Conclave.

On today's episode of The Confluence: A jury found Robert Bowers guilty on all counts in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting trial, still leaving in question whether he will receive the death penalty; and a conversation with WQED's incoming president and CEO, Jason Jedlinksi.

Robert Bowers is accused of killing eleven Jewish worshippers -- the deadliest antisemitic attack in US history. Also: Greece shipwreck survivor's emotional reunion, and the Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg dies aged 92.

Trib Live reporter Paula Reed Ward has been covering every aspect of the Robert Bowers case and trial. She joins Rick to provide her impact and look ahead to Tuesday's day in court. 

This morning we have Dr. Robert Bowers from Holzer! Dr. Bowers specializes in obstetrics and gynecology and robotic-assisted da Vinci® Surgery. Today's topic is Women's Health & how women's health needs changes through their life and what to expect at different milestones.

It was the fifteen worst minutes in American Jewish history. It happened on October 27, 2018. It was a Shabbat morning. A gunman, Robert Bowers, entered the Tree of Life -Or L'Simcha Congregation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – in the heart of the historically Jewish Squirrel Hill neighborhood. Bowers opened fire on the worshipers, and by the time his attack was over, eleven worshipers were killed, and six were wounded. Over the years, I have spent much time in Pittsburgh, teaching and lecturing. I have what I can only call an urban crush on the city. That is especially true of Squirrel Hill, which is one of the last true "shtetls" in America, a village that was the model for Fred Rogers' "neighborhood of make believe," a place where everyone knew and cared for each other, and a place where Jews came, settled, and mostly stayed, no matter what their level of affluence. Prior to that Shabbat morning service, by my own calculation – there had been eight fatalities due to antisemitic violence in American history. The shooting in Pittsburgh almost doubled that number. Other acts of violence – the shooting at Chabad in Poway, California; the shooting at the kosher grocery store in Jersey City, New Jersey; the machete murder of the rabbi in Monsey, New York to follow. The Tree of Life shooting was a trauma in American Jewish history. As jury selection continues for the trial of Robert Bowers, the scab has been torn off that wound, and the Jews of Pittsburgh experience that trauma anew. The big question: If found guilty, should Bowers get the death penalty? That is the subject of this podcast with Marshall Dayan -- attorney, law professor, and an activist against capital punishment. Marshall has been actively involved in the anti-death penalty movement since 1981, and has represented those charged with or convicted of capital crimes since 1986. He has served as Chair of the Board of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty; as President of the North Carolina-based People of Faith Against the Death Penalty, and as Vice Chair of the Commission on Social Action for Reform Judaism.

Robert Bowers, the suspect in the Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting must undergo psychiatric evaluations. That was the opinion of U.S. District Judge Robert Colville. Paula Reed Ward is covering the Bowers trial for the Tribune-Review. She tells Rick Dayton the judge was very specific in his instructions to the prosecution and defense as to what his expectations are for the evaluations, how long they should take and made it clear they are not to interfere with the timeline for the next phase for the trial.

How do you cover a trial that will be as significant as the the Robert Bowers trial in Pittsburgh? Paula Reed Ward has been assigned that task for the Tribune Review. She joined The Rick Dayton Show on Friday afternoon to summarize the first week of jury selection from the federal courthouse downtown. Her live "on-line" reporting has been remarkable.

Sports medicine is often a misnomer for what physicians in this field of medicine do. They don't always take care of athletes and don't always work for a sports team but they are the people to go to when it comes to musculoskeletal care. Dr. Bowers is board certified in both Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine as well as a PhD in exercise physiology. In our episode, we discuss his unique path to medicine and his experience dealing with evidence-based musculoskeletal care. Furthermore, we also discuss the gaps in both medical care and in medical education that could help promote prevention for more patients.

Berättelsen om hur en nästan 90-årig miljardär blivit nationalisternas fiende. Den 27 oktober 2018 ska tre olika judiska församlingar just börja sin sabbatsgudstjänst i synagogan Tree of Life i Pittsburgh. Fem minuter senare går en man beväpnad med flera skjutvapen in i byggnaden och dödar 11 människor. Mördaren och terroristen Robert Bowers som genomför masskjutningen, har bara timmar tidigare varit aktiv på Gab, en plattform på sociala medier för folk som anser att yttrandefrihet inte finns på andra ställen. På Gab har Bowers delat hat och hot, ofta riktat mot judar.Ett namn är särskilt förekommande i Bowers hatretorik. Gång på gång nämner han en man som han påstår styr media. Finansmannen och filantropen George Soros. En miljardär som har blivit ett rött skynke inte bara på hatsajter, utan också för världsledare som Viktor Orbán, Donald Trump och Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. P3 ID om George Soros handlar om finansmannen som har gett bort miljarder och åter miljarder i sin strävan efter det han kallar för "det öppna samhället". Han har kallats för “mannen som knäckte the bank of England” och hans namn är ständigt indraget i konspirationsteorier – ofta med antisemitiska undertoner.

In 10 days, just before the 2018 midterm elections, Americans saw four terrifying new hate crimes. On October 24, 51-year-old Gregory Bush tried and failed to break into a black church outside of Louisville. He went to a nearby Kroger, and killed two black shoppers, telling a bystander that "whites don't shoot whites." Two days later, a 57-year-old Florida man and Trump supporter named Cesar Sayoc was accused of mailing pipe bombs to political critics of Donald Trump. The following day, 46-year-old Robert Bowers, shot and killed 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue, while shouting "All Jews must die!" We covered the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in episode 8 of this podcast. Finally, on November 2, 40-year-old misogynist Scott Beierle shot and killed two women at a hot yoga class in Tallahassee, Florida, before turning his gun on himself.

On this episode of The Critical Hour, Dr. Wilmer Leon is joined by Dr. Shantella Sherman, historical researcher, author of "In Search of Purity: Popular Eugenics & Racial Uplift Among New Negroes 1915-1935" and publisher of Acumen Magazine.Halfway through the Sabbath service on Saturday, a gunman turned what was supposed to be a time of solace into a day of horror. The shooting in Poway, California, about 25 miles north of San Diego, coincides with a significant spike in hate crimes, including acts of anti-Semitism. Many are talking about this in the context of security, but there is much more to this than just security. The gunman, whom police identified as John Earnest, 19, wrote a manifesto echoing the same kind of white supremacist views as the shooters in the attacks in the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh in October – that was Robert Bowers, 46 – and on mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March. Holden Matthews, 21, the son of a St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, sheriff's deputy, is on trial for the burning the St. Mary Baptist Church on March 26, Greater Union Baptist Church on April 2 and Mount Pleasant Baptist Church on April 4. Dylann Roof, a 21-year-old white supremacist, murdered nine African Americans at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015.According to Bloomberg, Southwest Airlines first learned from Boeing after the deadly Lion Air crash in October that an alert warning pilots of a sensor malfunction linked to the disaster wasn't a standard feature on the 737 Max 8. "The world's largest 737 operator and its pilots had thought that the warning light worked on all Max jets, as it had on the previous generation of 737 aircraft, Southwest said Sunday. The revelation raises new questions about Boeing's best-selling jet as the company works to convince airlines and regulators that the Max will be safe once a software update is installed. Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg says the company is working to make sure the 737 Max is 'one of the safest airplanes ever to fly.'" Muilenburg says the company will now provide enhanced training for its airline customers' pilots. Additionally, Muilenburg said they "regret the impact" of the Ethiopian Airlines and Lion Air crashes and apologized to those who lost loved ones. The Ethiopian Airlines crash in March prompted a worldwide grounding of the 737 Max last month. As the number one airplane manufacturer, Muilenburg says Boeing has work to do to earn and re-earn the trust of its passengers around the world. Activists from across the US, including a group of tenants staying inside the building as the invited guests of the legitimate Venezuelan government, have been working around the clock to prevent the illegal seizure of the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington, DC, by opposition forces loyal to coup leader Juan Guaido. The Secret Service and other forces gave the occupants until this past Thursday, April 25, to vacate the premises. When they did not move on the occupants at that time, a lot of people thought the move would come this past Saturday. It did not. What's going on inside the embassy now? At least 704 people in the United States have been sickened this year by measles, a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease, according to a report released Monday morning by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's the greatest number of cases in a single year in 25 years and represents a huge setback for public health after measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000. More than 500 of the people infected in 22 states were not vaccinated. Sixty-six people have been hospitalized, including 24 who had pneumonia. More than one-third of the cases are children younger than five. We talked about this last week, but with the numbers having been updated, we thought we would return to the issue.GUESTS:Dr. Shantella Sherman – Historical researcher, author of "In Search of Purity: Popular Eugenics & Racial Uplift Among New Negroes 1915-1935" and publisher of Acumen Magazine.Dr. Niva Lubin-Johnson – President of the National Medical Association.Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers – Editors of Popular Resistance.

Politics quickly eclipsed horror after Robert Bowers allegedly gunned down 11 worshipers at a Pittsburgh synagogue in October. The shooting, the worst anti-Semitic attack in American history, almost immediately became intertwined with Donald Trump’s divisive presidency.

In October, Robert Bowers targeted members of the Jewish community when he entered a Pittsburgh synagogue and opened fire, killing 11 people and injuring six. It was an attack not only toward members of that congregation, but also against all citizens throughout the United States who should be able to go about their daily lives without fearing for their safety at any event or venue. The threat from individuals who similarly wish to do harm has hit home in New Jersey as well. In May, NJOHSP detectives arrested and charged a sovereign citizen extremist for the first time under a new State statute for filing fraudulent liens. In October, an anti-government extremist transported explosive materials through our State with the goal of conducting an attack on Election Day in Washington, DC. That same month, Cesar Sayoc Jr. mailed Cory Booker and 15 other Democratic figureheads packages that contained improvised explosive devices. These incidents further demonstrate the wide-ranging ideologies associated with domestic terrorism and have only further strengthened our Office’s resolve to protect the diversity that makes New Jersey so unique. Join us as we discuss the upcoming release of NJOHSP's 2019 Terrorism Threat Assessment and the threat extremist groups pose to New Jersey in 2019.

Historically, white supremacist extremists have leveraged alternative social media platforms to promulgate their ideologies, interact with like-minded individuals online, and attempt to radicalize others. On October 27, Robert Bowers, a suspected white supremacist extremist who espoused anti-Semitic comments online, shot and killed 11 people and injured six at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. Prior to the attack, Bowers posted on Gab, a social media website that claims it is a free-speech alternative to Facebook and Twitter, that the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society “likes to bring invaders in that kill our people.” Additionally, Bowers shared other anti-Semitic and xenophobic content online, including a picture with the numbers “1488,” a numeric combination popular with white supremacists. Join us as our analysts delve into how white supremacist extremists have used online platforms and how they leverage social media for various causes.

This week, we feature three segments. Locals Respond To Far-Right Doxxings First, we'll feature a statement about recent doxing of a number of anti-racists in the Asheville area by far-right keyboard warriors.  A Jailhouse Lawyer Speaks About #PrisonStrike 2018 After that, we feature an interview with Dee, an anonymous incarcerated organizer affiliated with Jailhouse Lawyers Speak. In this conversation we ask about the effectiveness of the #August21 2018 Nationwide Prisoner Strike, the push to move prisoners under storm threat as these increase under climate change, repression and changes in response to the strike, mail limitations in PA prisons, standardization of increased security in Ohio, outside support and organizing, critiques of the methods of NPS2018, and more. Check our show notes for links to more info concerning the strike. If prisoners want to communicate with and/or join JLS, Dee suggests in some words near the end of the show that they reach out to: Jailhouse Lawyers Speak P.O. Box 1076 Knightdale, NC 27545 And you can find JLS on fedbook or twitter to keep up with their organizing In our final section of the show, you'll hear a report by audio comrades in Germany about the recent resistance to the destruction of the Hambach Forest by authorities. The clearing of the ancient forest is to create the largest open-pit lignite coal mine in Europe on behalf of the corporation RWE, which sells to Netherlands, Germany & the UK. Lignite has a carbon content of around 60-70%, has a low energy yield, and is responsible for 1/3 of CO2 emissions in Germany. This segment shows up in the November 2018 episode of B(A)DNews, Angry Voices from Around The World from the A-Radio Network, of which we're a proud member. Keep an eye on our podcast stream and website for a link to this episode coming out in the next couple of days. Local Doxxings Within the last week, over 15 people were doxxed by white supremacists in our community. Here is most of a collective statement released a day or two after the fact by some of those folks: They've targeted more than twenty people they believe are involved in anti-racist organizing in North Carolina. They've posted information such as our home addresses, places of work, family members, license plates, social media profiles–whatever information they could find. They seem to be fixating on trans and nonbinary people in particular, and delight in trying to deadname and misgender us whenever possible. Some of us, and some of our family members, have received harassing messages. They wrote about us like it's some big secret that we oppose fascism, that we oppose racism, that we oppose all forms of bigotry and oppression. It's not a secret. We weren't hiding. We are not ashamed. This isn't a plea for sympathy. Our friends and immediate community have been amazing. Rather, this is a message to let you know that if you ever find yourself targeted by neo-Nazis and the far right, you are not alone. None of us need to face this rising tide of fascist scum alone. We have each other. Robert Bowers, the Pittsburgh Synagogue shooter, actively and publicly chatted with alt-right trolls who had doxxed anti-racist activists. He even discussed violence against anti-racists in our region. This is probably a good time to think seriously about your online security and that of your family members and friends. But staying safe isn't just a matter of changing your Facebook settings or making your Instagram private. It's a matter of us showing up for each other. Of us not letting them intimidate us, not letting them isolate us. Not letting them stop us from our work. Especially when the work is stopping fascism. To read the full statement, you can visit https://ashevillesolidarity.tumblr.com/ , where you can also see a list of bands and businesses which have been included in the current harassment. And of course, there are ways to donate and send support! For an article about this (released just as our radio show was airing), including a statement by Firestorm Books contextualizing the specific harassment they've received, you can visit The Asheville Blade, which you can donate to here! To support Firestorm Books, our local anarchist community space and bookstore, you can join their Community Sustainer's Program or leave them a positive review on Facebook, Yelp, wherever you can. Additionally, for a really excellent walk through of how to help prevent this kind of thing happening to you or your crew, you can visit the Smiling Face Collective guide to preventing doxxing. This site can be easily adapted into an interactive workshop, because let's face it, wiping your presence off the internet is a tedious, upsetting, and grueling process which is designed to wear you down. It's always better to do this in groups! You can write to us about your experiences with internet hygiene, good, bad, or whatever, at tfsradioshow@protonmail.com Rural Organizing Against Racism Benefit For those in the Western NC area, there will be a Fall Fundraiser to benefit rural organizing and resilience on Friday November 30th at 6pm at the Marshall Container Co. which is located at 10 South Main Street, Marshall, NC.
