Where’s Nuremberg

Introduction: Experimenting on human beings without their knowledge and/or consent is forbidden by the Nuremburg code. Nonetheless, the U.S. national security establishment has been doing just that as a matter of course in the years since World War II.



Having imported many of Nazi Germany’s and Imperial Japan’s war criminals, the U.S. was on track to institutionalize experimenting on unwitting human subjects by the end of the Second World War.



This program documents some of the experiments and the programs which gave rise to such operations:



Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: CIA researched the occult in what Hank Albarelli speculates may have been a research project inspired by the Nazi Ahnenerbe; The agency researched various ways of causing cancer and the effects of various levels of stress on those suffering from the disease; Both the CIA and the Army researched the effects of radiation on human beings in a variety of clandestine experiments; The CIA’s “Human Ecology” research projects embraced a wide variety of experimental projects designed to learn how to control and modify human behavior; Vermont-based doctor Robert Hyde was among the premier researchers to test LSD on human subjects, some in projects the details of which have not been fully disclosed.

Final Straw radio

Sister station KPFA is in fund drive mode, so no Its Going Down until further notice. Instead, here’s an episode of Final Straw radio about the Stop Cop City struggle.

This week, featuring an interview with Matt Scott of the Atlanta Community Press Collective to update us on the movement to Stop Cop City in light of the recent indictment of 61 people on Racketeering charges by the state of Georgia at the end of August and the legal shenanigans of the city to block a public referendum on the police training center that would destroy the south Atlanta forest and river. We'll also hear about recent non-violent civil disobedience, and the call for a mass action on November 13, 2023 (with a multi-city info-tour in the buildup).

Anarchist Radio Berlin prepared an interview on the upcoming No Border Camp in Groningen (NL). Between the 21st and the 27th of august the fifth edition of the Dutch No Border Camp took place in Groningen. We spoke with one of the organizers about the camp and the situation for people on the move in the Dutch-occupied territories.

Then, you’ll hear a segment by anarchist prisoner, Sean Swain on alien abductions.

The Final Straw is a weekly anarchist and anti-authoritarian radio show bringing you voices and ideas from struggle around the world. Since 2010, we’ve been broadcasting from occupied Tsalagi land in Southern Appalachia (Asheville, NC). We also frequently feature commentary (serious and humorous) by anarchist prisoner, Sean Swain.

Covert Action bulletin

On July 26, former President Mohamad Bazoum was removed from power by a military general, Tchiani. This has set off a wave of condemnation and threats of military intervention from the U.S. and France, for whom Bazoum had proved to be a reliable ally. Thousands have rallied to support Niger’s new leadership since July 26, reportedly carrying banners reading ”Down with France” and “Foreign bases out”. The U.S. has about 1,100 troops in Niger and France has about 1,500. The new government in Niger has announced it will stop French extraction of gold and uranium. France relies heavily on nuclear power generators, and 75% of the fuel comes from Niger; all of France’s gold reserves have also come from its (former) colonies in Africa, including Niger.



Rather than analyze the reasons behind abject poverty and anti-Western sentiment in Niger and much of the region, Western countries led by the U.S. and France are pointing to Russian interest in the region while purposely ignoring their own neocolonial history. To understand the situation in Niger and how it impacts the rest of the African continent, and the greater geopolitical landscape, we’re joined by Eugene Puryear, an author, activist and host of The Freedom Side on Breakthrough News.
