VYS0045 | This Is Not The End Times; This Is A Rescue Mission - Vayse to Face with Bob Cluness - Show Notes Even more bewildered than usual, Hine and Buckley welcome writer, researcher, academic and DJ, Bob Cluness to Vayse. Bob's areas of interest include cultural studies, aesthetics, phenomenology, film studies, the weird and the eerie. Hine and Buckley nod along and try to keep up as Bob showers them in interconnecting concepts and fascinating insights with torrential force: What is hyperstition? Who were the CCRU? How does accelerationism work? Was Chaos Magick a revolutionary movement or an emanation of the emerging neoliberal capitalist system of the time? And exactly what is Nick Land's problem... (Recorded 29 July 2024) Thanks to Bob for patiently explaining everything and thanks to Keith for the mammoth effort in show noting this one!

Art finds us when we need it most. Spectrum, the new Mad Cave Studios series from creators Dave Chisholm and Rick Quinn, is an astonishing sci-fi saga that begins inside the Seattle WTO protests of 1999 and propels its characters into a realm where music grants flight. The central character, Melody, can't quite discern what's real and what's not - a sensation you may very well be familiar with at this moment - seeing impossible beings floating amongst the crowds. Powers from within and without compel her on a journey that operates as the best geeky musical Where's Waldo for the reader who is willing. Y'all ready for the MTV version of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? Y'all remember MTV? We're already so obsessed with Spectrum that we've committed to a series of six podcast episodes, one for each new issue. Thankfully, Dave Chisholm and Rick Quinn are also up for this pop culture plunge. They join us for an excavation of sound and a discussion on the song's importance in our daily lives and how they miraculously transplanted one artistic expression into another. Spectrum is waiting for your eyes. You merely need to put them upon it and join this book's inevitable cult following. Make sure to alert your comic shop of its existence. Slap it in your pullbox. Be part of this book's success, as it's unlike anything else on the stands. Here's your chance to be the snooty person in the shop, claiming your crown as one of Spectrum's first converted followers. The first issue arrives on 11/20, and the second drops on 1/8/2025. Make sure you're following Dave Chisholm on his Website, TikTok, Instagram, and Bluesky.

What does it mean to protest and are there ways to do so that bring creativity to the forefront along with the issues? Listen to how those who were on the front lines of the WTO protests in Seattle used puppetry to get their ideas and demands across to those in power.
It's the 22nd anniversary of the direct action shutdown of the World Trade Organization (WTO) meetings in Seattle. The WTO is a transnational economic institution created to regulate and facilitate global (corporate) trade. Organized by a scrappy group of organizers, the shutdown kicked off an anti-corporate globalization moment in North America which challenged austerity and the capitalist political economy. Globally, those movements had already been fighting austerity and corporate power for decades. We talk with Nancy Haque, Stephanie Guilloud and David Solnit (@dsolnit)- three organizers that were all part of Direct Action Network to Stop Corporate Globalization (DAN), the body that organized the shutdown. Bios// In 1999, our three guests were all grassroots lead organizers and co-founders of the Direct Action Network to Stop Corporate Globalization which organized the mass action shutdown of the WTO in Seattle. Nancy was a labor-community organizer with Portland Jobs with Justice which uniquely bridged the labor movement with the Direct Action Network and mobilized hundreds of students and community folks from Portland. Now, Nancy is the Executive Director of Basic Rights Oregon (@basicrights), ensuring that all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Oregonians experience equality by building a broad and inclusive politically powerful movement, shifting public opinion, and achieving policy victories. Stephanie was a student at Evergreen State College where she worked with the Labor Education and Research Center and with student groups that mobilized hundreds of trained organized students. Now, Stephanie is co-director of Project South (@ProjectSouth). Stephanie is the editor of two anthologies: Through the Eyes of the Judged; Autobiographical Sketches from Incarcerated Young Men and Voices from the WTO; First-person Narratives from the People who Shut Down the World Trade Organization. David was with Art and Revolution Collective in the San Francisco Bay Area, and moved to Seattle for 6 months to organize as part of the Direct Action Network. Now, David is an arts organizer with the Climate Justice Arts Project--working to center arts organizing and narrative with Stop the Money Pipeline, Build Back Fossil Free and the Poor People's Campaign. He edited/co-authored "Globalize Liberation"--a post-Seattle WTO global justice and anti-capitalist analysis and organizing anthology and "The Battle of the Story of the Battle of Seattle." About the Shutdown WTO Organizers History Project// On the 20 year anniversary, a small group of friends and fellow DAN organizers put together The Shutdown WTO Organizers History Project-a website of organizers and first person accounts and analysis and co-published a 20-Year-Anniversary series of articles with Common Dreams. --------------------------------------- Links// The Shutdown WTO Organizers' History Project: https://www.shutdownwto20.org/ Remembering the Battle for Seattle: Organizers Launch Project to Reflect on 20 Years of Lessons (https://bit.ly/3ljIOpL) WTO Shutdown: A Few Things From the WTO Shutdown I Carry Into the Future (https://bit.ly/3xC853d) Follow Green and Red// https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast Donate to Green and Red Podcast// Become a recurring donor at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast Or make a one time donation here: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

Radical Puppets Revisiting The 1999 Seattle WTO Protests by Emily Zhang by Stanford Storytelling Project
In this episode we talk about the most ridiculous police action taken in recent memory for sure, we have a discussion centered around two newcomers to chat (one a self-confessed millennial conservative and another a "left-leaning" Muslim Wahabbist) and their beliefs and we watch a couple of short films: one covering the 2000 Seattle WTO protests/riots and another dissecting a sampling of American history featuring noted historian Howard Zinn. Enjoy!
Mark Taylor-Canfield recounts his witness of the Seattle protests in 1999 during the World Trade Organization negotiations on economic globalization. The conference ended with participants unable to reach an agreement, in part due to the protests. Known as the Battle-in-Seattle. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets on November 30 objecting to the lack of representation for the environment, developing nations, worker safety, and human rights. On December 3 the conference ended with participants unable to reach an agreement, in part due to the protests. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Seattle_WTO_protests Duration 18:45 Recorded 2019-12-12 Mark Taylor-Canfield "Lessons of the WTO 20 Years Later (Seattle Times) https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/lessons-of-the-wto-protests-20-years-ago/ Mark's song about the WTO protests: "The Ballad of N30" https://vimeo.com/50338811 MTC on Jeff Santos Show:WTO ANniversary Report etc. Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTaYVbpvvS0 MTC on Jeff Santos Show: WTO Anniversary Report etc. Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCWI7QHCS0c MTC Article on WTO Anniversary https://www.opednews.com/articles/Anniversary-of-Seattle-WTO-by-Mark-Taylor-Canfie-121130-410.html Community Alliance For Global Justice WTO Anniversary https://cagj.org/wto20/cagj-nov-30/ CAGJ WTO Anniversary Photos/Video https://cagj.org/wto20/wto20-photos-video/ WTO Research Resources https://cagj.org/wto-resources/ Washington Fair Trade Coalition Event https://cagj.org/wftc-dec-7/ Town Hall Seattle Event With Joseph Stiglitz https://townhallseattle.org/event/wto-protests-20th-anniversary/ Crosscut Panel Discussion https://crosscut.com/event/wto-did-everyone-lose-battle-seattle Museum of History & Industry Event https://mohai.org/event/history-cafe-remembering-the-wto-20-years-later/ #BattleOfSeattle

“I remember walking home from that huge protest and feeling this sense of huge hope in the air…And it was just really exciting and it felt like things actually could change.” –Becca Shaw Glazer In this episode, we speak with activists who participated in protests against the World Trade Organization in the 1990s and 2000s. The 1999 Seattle protest against the WTO is often seen as the beginning of a worldwide anti-globalization movement and the Indymedia movement. About 40,000 people took to the streets to express their dissent, and protestors successfully blocked delegates from entering the convention center, delaying the meeting. The protests became known as “The Battle of Seattle” because of the police violence that ensued in response.

“I remember walking home from that huge protest and feeling this sense of huge hope in the air...And it was just really exciting and it felt like things actually could change.” --Becca Shaw Glazer In this episode, we speak with activists who participated in protests against the World Trade Organization in the 1990s and 2000s. The 1999 Seattle protest against the WTO is often seen as the beginning of a worldwide anti-globalization movement and the Indymedia movement. About 40,000 people took to the streets to express their dissent, and protestors successfully blocked delegates from entering the convention center, delaying the meeting. The protests became known as “The Battle of Seattle” because of the police violence that ensued in response. We focus on the protests that took place in Seattle, and then share an interview with someone who participated in WTO protests in Cancun, one of the protests that took place globally as a result.

Kelly Quirke is the Community Engagement Coordinator for Harborside Health Center, the largest cannabis dispensary in the country. He is the former CEO of Rainforest Action Network, veteran civic activist and community organizer. We talk about how cannabis can change the world, how in the span of a decade, the tide for legalization has changed, cannabis and Big Business and Proposition 64, it's upsides and downsides. We also talk about non-violent protest and raising the tension around social issues, the failures and successes of the historic 1999 Seattle WTO protest and how our institutions mirror our understanding of how the world works.
Aired 12/06/09 This past week marked the tenth anniversary of the World Trade Organization's confrontation in Seattle with 50,000 protestors against corporate globalization. We look back at Seattle and at the ten years in between with two guests who played important roles. First, we talk with NORM STAMPER -- who oversaw the police response -- about those events and about his life and work in the decade since. Now retired, Stamper wrote the book, BREAKING RANK and has become a prominent spokesman for LEAP, Law Enforcement Against (Drug) Prohibition. NORM STAMPER, former Seattle Police Chief author BREAKING RANK: A TOP COP'S EXPOSE OF THE DARK SIDE OF AMERICAN POLICING http://www.normstamper.com/ http://www.leap.cc/cms/index.php Second, KEVIN DANAHER, who was centrally involved in organizing the Seattle WTO protests. His goals remain the same but his focus has evolved. His latest books are THE GREEN FESTIVAL READER: Fresh Ideas from Agents of Change, and BUILDING THE GREEN ECONOMY: Success Stories from the Grassroots http://www.globalexchange.org/ http://www.globalcitizencenter.org/ http://www.greenfestivals.com/
Ten years ago, the word “globalization” was made a household term. On November 30th, 1999, tens of thousands of people shook the streets of Seattle, Washington, in protest of the World Trade Organization. The WTO symbolized the corporate takeover of human needs and the environment. On this edition, we revisit the voices from that week. And, we find out how global economic forces have shifted in the past decade. Featuring: Gopal Dayaneni, anti-globalization activist; Mohau Pheko, representative of the Africa Trade Network at the 1999 Seattle WTO meeting; Anuradha Mittal, Executive Director, Oakland Institute; Chuck Collins, co-founder of United for a Fair Economy and Wealth for the Common Good. The post Making Contact – Trade Shifts: Reflections on the Seattle WTO Protests appeared first on KPFA.
