Dave Emory – For the Record #1310
Deep Politics and the Death of Iris Chang
https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftrs-1309-and-1310-deep-politics-and-the-death-of-iris-chang-parts-3-and-4/
Dave continues his exploration of the issues around the death of the author of “The Rape of Nanking”. At the time of her death, Iris was working on a book and documentary film project about the survivors of the Bataan Death March. Some of those veterans had been used as slave laborers by Japanese corporations during the war. The Bataan Death March veterans were among those who sued the Japanese corporations that had enslaved them. The presiding judge ruled against the veterans and for the Japanese corporations. For more see the For the Record website or last week’s program notes regarding FTR #1309, which was part 3 of this investigation and analysis.

Covert Action Bulletin with Rachel Hu and Chris Garaffa
Breaking Through US Propaganda on North Korea
https://covertactionmagazine.com/2023/07/19/covertaction-bulletin-breaking-through-u-s-propaganda-on-north-korea/
A recent Washington Post article titled “A North Korean defector captivated U.S. media. Some question her story” highlights the many appearances Yeonmi Park has made on right-wing news outlets over the past few years. Scholars and solidarity activists have been pointing out the serious holes in Park’s stories since she started getting attention. But even the Post has pushed her propaganda, running an op-ed by her in 2014 that they admit was co-written with a fellow at the Koch-founded right-wing Atlas Network, calling for a capitalist counterrevolution in the country. Park is part of a long tradition of outright U.S. lies about North Korea, which it is still at war with.
To get deeper into the history, we’re joined by Derek Ford. He’s an author, visiting professor at Korea University in Tokyo, and an organizer with the Global Peace forum on Korea. He also led the last delegation of U.S. citizens to the DPRK before the travel ban.
Rachel Hu is a journalist with “BreakThrough News,” a new independent media project, where she hosts the podcast “It’s Not You, It’s Capitalism.” She is also a host on WBAI 99.5FM in NYC and has been an anti-war and anti-racist activist with the ANSWER Coalition for the last decade. Rachel can be reached at: rachel@wbai.org.
Chris Garaffa has been an anti-imperialist and social justice organizer since joining the movement against the Iraq war in 2003. Chris is a weekly guest on Sputnik Radio’s “By Any Means Necessary,” and co-hosts the podcast “The Reboot,” focusing on the intersection between technology and human rights. Chris can be reached at: chris.garaffa@gmail.com.

Out-FM from sister station WBAI with John Riley, Stahimili Mapp, Naomi Brussel
"Margaret Randall Latin America Solidarity Activist P1&2 "
We will present Part 1 and Part 2 of an interview with internationally renowned writer, poet and Latin America solidarity activist Margaret Randall. It was conducted earlier this year by Out-FM producer Bob Lederer and guest co-producer Cloe Loosz.
Margaret Randall is a longtime North American feminist activist who has supported Latin American revolutions, as well as a prolific writer, poet, translator, and photographer, and an out-lesbian. In 2020 she released her memoir titled I Never Left Home: Poet, Feminist, Revolutionary. She has published nearly 200 books of poetry, prose, oral testimony, and memoir, including two last year, and has made such iconic Latin American poets as Roque Dalton, Otto Rene Castillo, and others available to an English readership. She is now 86 years old.
Part 2: In this concluding segment of the interview, Margaret will explain her epic four-year, late-80s battle -- with huge grassroots support -- to stop the federal government's effort to deport her because her writings allegedly advocated "the doctrines of world communism." She will then talk about her decision to come out soon after winning that victory, her 36-year relationship with her now wife Barbara Byers, and her more recent literary and political activities.
Thanks to John Riley and the other producers of WBAI’s Out -FM for putting this special single-program presentation of this interview together especially for KPFK, as it originally aired in two parts on separate weeks during WBAI’s on-air fund drive.
