Seeing Red Radio: The One-State Solution and the Truth behind the Employee Free Choice Act 5/21/09

May 29th, 2009 Posted by seeingredTony

67Union_Buster The Two-State Solution is a non-starter with the Zionist regime of Netanyahu. On this edition of SRR we examine the proposal for a secular one-state that represents all of the people of historic Palestine. We also expose the heinous lies of pro-corporate opponents of the Employee Free Choice Act, including the glaring statistic that reveals the number of unfair labor practice filings with the National Labor Review Board against unions amounts to “only 42 cases of misconduct over seven decades—while there are nearly 30,000 unfair labor practices against workers by companies every year.” So much for “union intimidation”… We also commemorate the end of the first acquisition of state power by the working class, the Paris Commune, when it was violently suppressed in 1871.

Seeing Red Radio: Iraq-Torture Scandal, Dick Cheney and the IMF 5/14/09

May 25th, 2009 Posted by seeingredTony

botero_abu_ghraib_57 Obama shows his true colors by not releasing the un-seen Abu Ghraib photos. Lawrence Wilkerson reveals that detainees were tortured to spill lies that would support the invasion of Iraq. Dick Cheney hits the major news networks with lie after lie. This time it’s not WMD’s, or the efficacy of torture, but the Employee Free Choice Act. US Chamber of Commerce uses bailout money to fight against EFCA. Obama stealthily slips in over 100 billion for the International Monetary Fund, while the IMF, in the face of the global financial crisis, destabilizes Turkey, Latvia, and “threatened” Pakistan, to name just a few. Finally, another Palestinian child dies as a result of Israel’s continued siege on Gaza.
