We also explore the OHS concerns and hazards confronting workers, volunteers and members of the public due to the ever growing threat of bushfires.As always, a wrap up of the week's union news - following the defeat of the Federal Government's anti-union legislation in the senate.

Today's episode brings us a wide array of tunes that I've been stockpiling for the past two weeks (some even longer), which may be why some of the stylistic shifts in the show are a little more jarring than others. Nonetheless! This episode paints a pretty clear picture of what I've been jamming lately, save for a few releases that are a little too mainstream or popular to warrant being featured on my show (It's not like the new Mariah Carey LP, Caution, the new Travis Scott LP, Astroworld, or the new Beatles White Album remaster need any promotion from my humble little self and my humble little program, anyway. They do just fine on their own, I'm sure). I try to feature stuff that isn't necessarily on a major label or under some popular radar, though with literally ALL of the taste-making arenas constantly on the hunt for the latest underground, undiscovered, proverbial oil well of sensational music--sonic gold, if you will--, that is sometimes not the easiest thing to do. Hey, great minds think alike, what can I say? Please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts so we can get higher placement on their charts, above all the normally spelled "B-L-A-S-T" podcasts.

Today's episode features an interview with one of the premier hardcore groups of the Rio Grande Valley, Reinforce. The band is on the verge of releasing their first full-length album, Blemish, which is a milestone for the band, who've previously only released smaller collections of songs such as EPs. In this interview, I speak with Danny, Levi, and Pat--the vocalist, bassist, and guitarist from the group respectively--about the new album, their journey as a band, and as musicians themselves. It proved to be a very informative and revealing conversation, as members of the band have seen and experienced several waves and generations of goings-on in the Rio Grande Valley music scene, and wear those experiences on their sleeves. It was a privilege to speak so candidly with them for an evening, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

In the UK, Brexit has shattered the relative stability of ruling Conservative Party and led to the freefall in both the value of the pound and the stock market, while fascists and racists have been given a greenlight to attack foreigners and minorities. Former President of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union, Alex Gordon explains the details behind brexit and a trade union response to it. Wil Stracke from VTHC joins us for a discussion on the trade union campaign for marriage equality in the lead up to federal election. 

To many the name Kevin Bracken is a new one in regards 9/11 Truth. The reality is that Kevin has been a champion of the 9/11 Truth cause since 2006 by disseminating information throughout the Victorian Union Movement and the Maritime Workers Union of Australia. He has distributed DVD's, shown films and shared information regularly with his associates and the people of Melbourne and he achieved motions calling for a new investigation from both the Victorian Trades Hall Council where he is the President and the Victorian branch of the Maritime Union of Australia of which he heads as Secretary. Kevin has also attended numerous conferences on 9/11 and has been the facilitator of such in Melbourne, Australia. Over the years Kevin and I have developed a close working relationship, both striving for the truth 9/11 to come out to bring end to the wars and to get our rights back that have been eroded since 9/11!This is the motion passed on the 28th of March of 2008 at the VTHC;"That this meeting of VTHC Executive Council calls for a thorough, independent enquiry into the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11.The events of that day have been used to start pre-emptive wars "that will not end in our lifetime". They have been used to attack civil liberties and legal principles that have been the cornerstone of civilized communities. There is an urgent need to reassess the way we view the world after September 11 and we call for proper investigation into the events around that day.On the 20th of October 2010 Kevin was asked to ring into ABC 774 Mornings with John Faine although Faine disputes this. This was following an email that was sent to Faine by Kevin questioning 9/11 in the context of Australia's ongoing support of the Afghanistan occupation. After the recent Australian Election it was demanded by the Australian Greens in a "balance of power" deal that the Australian involvement in the Afghan War be debated in parliament in it's first sitting. This debate had been going on this week and it was the first time any such debate had happened since 9/11, which is simply outrageous.This interview by Faine was possibly the most biased ever heard in Australia on radio broadcast by the tax payer funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation. This attack by Faine of Bracken's questioning the 9/11 events included a torrent of ad hominem slurs and an absolute refusal to discuss any evidence that the events were anything but what we have been told by our governments. A reasonable explanation of what happened and also with attached audio can be found here.  This story titled "Trades Hall president Kevin Bracken Stands by his 9/11 Conspiracy" has been reported all around the world and included a poll which started off running at around 50/50 asking if Kevin's questions about 9/11 were "reasonable" but has continued to move in his favour ending up at the time of writing these notes at 75% in favour of Bracken.Kevin has received literally thousands of thank you's from around the world for his brave stance for 9/11 Truth! Standing his ground even after being directly verbally bashed by the Prime Minister of Australia Julia Gillard saying he was "stupid and wrong" and having his own leadership comrades buckle at the knees if the face of unfounded ridicule. Rather than running for cover Kevin with his chin in the air has reiterated his position defying any to debate him on the issue! As usual all media presstitutes have refused, as there is obviously "no debate to have".  It seems that the vast majority of the public disagree and would like to see such a debate but none of the so called "journalists" dare to tread such a path.  Interesting to note that John Faine is now complaining that the ABC has been swamped by 9/11 activists and it may take the ABC many weeks to deal with the massive amount of complaints and comments they have received. Many of these I know to be formal as I have received many courtesy copies of the complaints to the ABC accusing them of breeching their charter and broadcast policy.The battle for 9/11 Truth is far from over and as long as the fools in power maintain their policy of occupation of Afghanistan they will remain exposed and at risk of criminal prosecution due to the lies of 9/11. Lets hope it comes soon or they realize and stop the bloodshed.
