Grayzone Radio with Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate’

Part 1: The Genocide Democrats: Max Blumenthal speaks at WNDC

At the Woman's National Democratic Club in Washington DC on March 7, 2024, The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal discussed the crisis within the Democratic Party as the party grassroots revolts against President Joe Biden's vehement support for Israel's rampage in the besieged Gaza Strip, where at least 30,000 have been killed to date - mostly women and children.

Blumenthal points the finger at the Democratic Party establishment for crushing any and all iterations of antiwar politics, and illustrates how its most prominent figures have been bought off by the Israel lobby.


Part 2: Assange's brother: "Julian could receive the death penalty" if extradited

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal interviews Gabriel Shipton, film producer and brother of Julian Assange, during his latest visit to Washington DC, where he was pushing lawmakers to oppose the Biden administration's prosecution of the jailed Wikileaks publisher.

The Final Straw Radio

This week, featuring three segments. First up, you’ll hear a chat with organizers of the 2024 Heart of the Valley Anticapitalist Bookfair which ran its first iteration in Corvallis, Oregon from January 19-21st. A zine of their experiences will appear on that blog soon.

Then, you’ll hear a brief segment updating listeners on the conspiracy case against six anarchists and antifascists in Russia known as the Tyumen case (for where it initiated). The six anarchists, some of whom barely knew each other, were tortured into confessions of conspiracy to further anarchist ideology and damage the Russian war machine. Transcription at our website

Finally, we spoke with Aster, a European anarchist involved in the counter-surveillance and anti-repression project known as the No Trace Project which works to share information about known methods and cases of state surveillance. The project does this in order to improve and expand our collective knowledge, tools and abilities at evading state crackdowns as we organize and act. This interview was conducted via encrypted messages and Aster's portion is being read by an unrelated volunteer. Transcript at our website

Millions Mobilize for Palestine

Millions of people took to the streets around the world on March 2nd in solidarity with the people of Gaza as Israel is reportedly preparing an invasion of Rafah later this week, just before the start of Ramadan. In New York City, Havana, Albuquerque, Caracas, British Columbia, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul and beyond, the massive day of mobilization shows that the movement against the Israeli genocide in Palestine will not slow down until the attacks are over.

Even the Democratic Party is being forced to shift its rhetoric in the face of mounting pressure, though it remains steadfast in its support for Israel. Biden’s recent statements about increasing aid to Gaza, and Kamala Harris’ comment that we need an “immediate cease-fire for at least six weeks” come while the U.S. continues to veto ceasefire resolutions in the UN. But new surveys show that more than two thirds of the people in the U.S. support the call for a permanent ceasefire and de-escalation of violence.

And in a brand new Center for Economic and Policy Research/YouGov study, 62 percent of respondents who voted for President Biden in 2020 agree with the statement, “The U.S. should stop weapons shipments to Israel until Israel discontinues its attacks on the people of Gaza.”

We’re joined by Miriam Osman, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement.

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.

Sprouts: Josephine Baker: The Spy Who Hid in Plain Sight

During WWII, the glamorous entertainer, Josephine Baker, worked as a spy for the French Resistance, while “hiding in plain sight” as a renowned night club performer and recording artist. Ursula Ruedenberg, head of the Pacifica affiliates unit, talks with author Christopher Klein about Josephine Baker's course from humble beginnings to international superstardom, and her unexpected turn in aiding the war effort against the Nazis. Sprouts revived this episode for Black History Month, but it certainly applies for Women’s History Month as well. Baker was a Black expatriate from the US, who renounced her citizenship and became French. She won the Croix de Guerre for her wartime exploits with the Resistance.

Water and Power

Robert Lundahl interview biologist and botanist Pat Flanagan, following up on last week’s episode about Cadiz. Water and Power tackles 10 years of solar development in the desert and its ever-expanding water usage profile in addition to a comparison and contrast with the Cadiz Inc. operation, examples of encroachment and settler disruption of Indigenous cultural norms and practices. Produced by Robert Lundahl and Tracker Ginamarie Rangel Quinone.

Several springs in the Mojave Trails National Monument are connected to an underground aquifer being drawn upon for a water marketing scheme. Meanwhile, on the surface, lands graded for Utility Scale Solar, located on pristine desert require massive amounts of water to "tamp down" sand and dust that have buried homes in Daggett and other rural communities.

Springs are sacred to the Chemehuevi and Paiute peoples. Bighorn sheep and other protected species depend on these remote springs for life and habitation. Pat gives us the dirt on the development of these remote and beautiful natural ecological treasures. Individual rain fed springs exist in a water cycle of evaporative transpiration potentially disrupted by Cadiz Inc.'s "billion dollar" water for profit plan.

Water and power are "gold" in California

Sounds True – Tami Simon

Alexandra Roxo: Dare to Feel

There are valid reasons why we sometimes guard our hearts. Yet when we keep them closed, we diminish our capacity to live life to its fullest. Alexandra Roxo has a gift for helping people “meet the difficult places” within us, to heal and open our hearts and “dare to feel” the emotions that were once too painful or overwhelming.

This episode of Insights at the Edge features Tami Simon in conversation with Alexandra about her new book, Dare to Feel. Inviting us to walk the transformational path of the heart and embrace the totality of our emotional experience, Tami and Alexandra discuss: the emotions of relationship and intimacy; being a warrior of the heart; an overlooked—and wholly avoidable— source of emotional overwhelm; the “spiritual illness” of seeking numbness; the willingness to take risks to nurture and express love, especially with strangers; how contemplative practices help us stay with the full range of our feelings; the intersection of human experience and spiritual experience; pain as a portal to the divine; self-awareness and witness consciousness; emotional resilience and self-trust; practicing feeling; and more.

Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests. Learn more at join.soundstrue.com.

Alexandra Roxo is an artist, bestselling author, spiritual teacher, and transformational coach. She has been featured as a guest speaker on many renowned podcasts and at numerous festivals and events worldwide, and she has been featured in multiple TV appearances, including two seasons of Netflix’s hit show Too Hot to Handle. Her work has also been featured in the New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, the Guardian, Nylon, and Playboy. For more, visit alexandraroxo.com.

The Final Straw Radio

This week, were sharing audio from anarchist prisoner in the UK, Toby Shone. Toby was arrested in November of 2020 after a car chase and during 5 simultaneous raids on residences in the Forest of Dean outside of Bristol. Toby was accused of being responsible for the insurrectionary counter-info anarchist site 325.NoState.Net as well as participation in the Informal Anarchist Federation " International Revolutionary Front, authoring communiques on behalf of IAF-IRF & the Earth Liberation Front, funding terrorism and being involved in the sabotage of a cellphone tower and having information on explosives. This raid and the case were brought in conjunction with the attempted linking of a diverse array of UK anarchist projects with terrorist charges via Operation Adream, which Toby understands to be conducted in conjunction with intelligence services from the Netherlands and German. The court failed to convict Toby Shone on these charges and only succeeded in convicting him of having and distributing hallucinagens and got 3 years, 9 months. Toby was then re-arressted while out on probation for having a cellphone and attending a prisoner support event.

Youll hear two audios from Toby, first him explaining his conviction and situation during his first incarceration, and then youll hear Toby recently answer a few of our questions and updating listeners about his recent re-imprisonment in HMP Garth, far away from his supporters in the Bristol area. Much thanks to Brighton Anarchist Black Cross for supporting Toby and this conversation. More information at https://brightonabc.org.uk. Brighton ABC and Tobys supporters have noted that hes been receiving pretty spotty treatment for his cancer and not getting a healthy vegan diet and so has lost some weight of recent. Tobys mail, including letters and books havent been making their way to him at HMP Garth. Its requested that supporters consider writing Toby a postcard, letter or email to help him through these next 8 months or so before his scheduled release and to inform his crew at forestcase (at) riseup.net of the mailing so they have a record in case it doesnt get to Toby.

Notably at that website youll see information about an upcoming International Anti-Repression Gathering happening in Brighton from March 30-31st. Theres information about signing up for the event at Brighton Abcs website.

Then, we were able to get an interview with Nicholas of Buenos Aires, Argentina to catch up on what’s been happening since the presidential election of libertarian capitalist Javier Milei. Mileis presidential campaign was highlighted by his claims to subvert the status quo of Peronism - a socially liberal form of democracy with decades of complicated contexts in the 20th century. Hes claimed to be an anarcho-capitalist, although his policies since election have been nothing short of classic neoliberalism: cuts to social welfare, hamstringing of labor unions rights to strike and picket, and doing away with common regulations of capital. While Americans have sought to understand Milei by comparing him to former U.S. President Trump, Nicholas outlines how this comparison falls short. We also talk about the role of organized anti-fascists in expecting continued clashes with the police, the social space & boxing gym La Cultura Del Barrio, and how the call for a general strike by mainstream labor unions in Argentina largely fell flat.

Tania Zirulik, Luna Homebirth

Tania Zirulnik graduated from midwifery school at the age of 23 in Lima, Peru, her native country. Since then, she has been able to participate in the birthing process in different settings, from hospital to home. Ultimately, it was home birthing that inspired her and brought joy to her work. Additionally, the experience of giving birth to her children at home with the support of her husband deepened her understanding of the birthing process.

Tania’s practice is based on listening to people’s stories and visions of their births and on empowering them to be active participants in the process of their pregnancy and birthing. Her care is personalized and aimed to educate and offer information necessary to build a trustworthy relationship with every pregnant person under her care. She adjusts her care to the needs of every individual so she can support them and contribute towards achieving the goal of a natural and powerful birth experience.

The 9000 Year History of the Oasis of Mara

Interview with naturalist, biologist, educator, Pat Flanagan. Pat Flanagan is a longtime compadre and friend and informal co-writer. She's a scientist, a botanist, biologist, naturalist and educator, talking about the Ice Age water below the high desert in the area of Joshua Tree and Desert Hot Springs.

Pat tells the story, the only story, the big story of humans and the environment, how people first got here, what they found and why it matters today. “It was my home for so many years as a kid, 3500 California Blvd in Pasadena. a lush environment in the shade of sparkling mountains gradually eclipsed by the dreaded smog. My family would escape for spring break to the desert where similar post war 50s/60s families congregated.

“In light of global heating, I made a Documentary Feature Film about it, the desert , and its ecological and cultural vulnerabilities. It's called Who Are My People?”

In postwar America there were kids everywhere and they congregated too. One such family, the Johansings, who owned a refuge for the traveler, called The 29 Palms Inn, fate had chosen to be the custodians and stewards of a 9000 (THOUSAND) year old refuge, at that time long ago, a rapidly changing landscape inhabited by early Indigenous peoples to the Americas, following the last ice age. It is here, our story begins.


Pat Flanagan. Pat is on the Board of the Morongo Basin Conservation Association, is a veteran environmentalist and activist, and most importantly an educator.
MBCA's mission is to advocate and educate for a healthy desert environment which nurtures wildlands and communities’ rural character, cultural abundance, and economic wellbeing.

She is associated with the Osis of Mara, is a naturalist, and leads tours of the area.

H2O Radio: Following Water Wherever It Leads

If Clothes Could Talk, Would They Talk Dirty?

Coming Clean About Our Wardrobe's Water Footprint and Toxic Legacy

It's been said that "you can know the color of fashion's next season by the color of rivers in China." Fifty percent of global textile manufacturing in the world happens there and packs a mighty punch in terms of water consumption--and pollution. But the growing of fibers and the dyeing of fabrics is only part of the water footprint of textiles. Once a garment comes home with us from the store how much water do we use to wash it? And do we add to its toxic legacy? Is it possible to dress for sustainable success? H2O Radio investigates.

Muckraking Journalism and The Progressive Magazine; Updates on Julian Assange

Featuring Normal Stockwell and Kevin Gosztola

In the first segment, Mickey Huff talks with Norman Stockwell, publisher of The Progressive magazine, founded in 1909. Stockwell discusses the vaunted history of the publication coming out of a golden era of muckraking journalism. We highlight some of that important history as well as address the current state of our so-called free press, coverage of Gaza, as well as stark signs that this election year may bring even more authoritarianism and militarism at home and abroad. We wrap by discussing the upcoming centennial celebration of the founder of The Progressive, “fighting” Bob La Follette, and his progressive presidential bid in 1924.

Later in the program we’re joined once again by journalist Kevin Gosztola, author of Guilty of Journalism, for updates on the Julian Assange extradition case as Day X on his final hearings in the UK are upon us. Gosztola reminds us of the travesty of justice in the case against him and what it portends for press freedoms worldwide.

Sounds True with Tami Simon – Insights from the Edge

Lisa Marchiano, LCSW: When You Need to Be Shrewd and Ruthless: Finding Your Vital Spark

Women across every age and culture have struggled with the pain of repressing essential aspects of themselves. There may be no misery greater than when we bury our vital spark beneath a dense layer of niceness that society insists upon. With her book The Vital Spark, Lisa Marchiano, a Jungian analyst, author, and podcaster, offers readers a breakthrough guide filled with insights, practices, tales, and teachings to unleash your “sizzling spirit” and live life to the fullest.

Get ready to reclaim your “outlaw energies” in this powerful podcast on: transformation through fierce feminine initiations; the protective quality of shrewdness and ruthlessness; breaking out of an “innocence complex”; allowing ourselves to know what we know; why “too much kindness defangs us”; discernment; the metaphor of the central fire within us; Carl Jung’s teaching on the unlived life and the “glowing coals under gray ashes”; the vehicle of story and fairy tales to convey wisdom; the tale of “Fitcher’s Bird”; squinting and symbolism; the unsentimental quality in nature; the story of Lilith; the role of greed and selfishness in the quest for wholeness; growing confidence; cultivating the qualities that help us stay connected with ourselves; and more.

Lisa Marchiano, LCSW, is a Jungian analyst, author, and podcaster. Her writings have appeared in many publications. She is the cohost and creator of the popular depth psychology podcast This Jungian Life and is the author of Motherhood. Lisa is on the faculty of C.G. Jung Institute of Philadelphia, and she lectures and teaches widely. She lives and practices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

How then shall we live



The world is in flames

I am not burning

Systems are collapsing

I have never been more whole

Our people are polarized

There’s never been so much room in my heart

We are shaking in our boots

I root deeper

We don’t resist collapse out there

We let it transform us

Even in grief, rage, and the next good idea.

Harm Reduction and Eco-Defense in Appalachia

First up, Ian chats with Tasha of Project Mayday, a harm reduction project operating in so-called West Virginia. They discuss harm reduction strategies and the political framework of their approach to mutual aid. The conversation also touches upon co-existing in the public health and non-profit space without compromising their radical values and some of the many ways that drug policy and pharmaceutical marketing affect people who use drugs. Listeners can contact Project Mayday at the links below and should watch those spaces for news about the benefit show coming up on April 28th.

Then, I spoke with Toby from Appalachians Against Pipelines and Madeline Ffitch, an activist recently arrested for locking down to a drill threatening to move the Mountain Valley Pipeline through Peters Mountain at Jefferson National Forest. We talked about the recent days of solidarity, direct actions against the MVP, repression of activists and related topics.

Tributes to Pioneering Trans Activists Cecilia Gentili and Kathy Ottersten

Pauline Park will pay tribute to Cecilia Gentili following the death of the pioneering translatina activist who emigrated from Argentina and survived sex trafficking, rising to become a major advocate for services for the transgender community and the decriminalization of sex work. Even in death, Cecilia caused a ruckus with a funeral service at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan that outraged transphobic right-wing Catholics. For more information about Cecilia, read Pauline Park’s essay, "Cecilia Gentili & her legacy of transgender activism & decriminalization advocacy work."

In our second half, we pay tribute to a courageous trans and intersex AIDS and trans rights activist originally from New York, who died on January 31 at age 57 in their adopted home of Fairbanks, Alaska. Kathy Ottersten was born intersex, came out as bisexual in their early teens, later identified as a lesbian trans woman and more recently identified as nonbinary and used the pronoun they. Starting at age 19, they threw themselves into social justice activism on a range of intersectional issues. In 2018 they became the second openly intersex person elected to public office in the U.S., winning a seat on the Fairbanks City Council. Out-FMs Bob Lederer interviewed Hannah Gold, a journalist and adjunct professor at Columbia University and Pratt Institute, who interviewed Kathy in 2021 for the online magazine Jewish Currents. For Hannah's moving Feb. 2024 tribute to Kathy, click here.

In 1991, Kathy was one of eight ACT UP members and independent activists who distributed clean needles on the streets of Manhattan, becoming defendants in a critical test case. Those defendants mounted a necessity defense, calling expert witnesses to explain how needle exchange programs had been scientifically shown to reduce HIV infections and save lives, and they won an acquittal, thereby helping to legalize the harm reduction practice of needle exchange in New York.

In this segment, we will also play clips from an interview with Kathy for the ACT UP Oral History Project, as well as hearing Hannah’s reflections. And we will hear a tribute from Alexis Danzig, a former ACT UP colleague of Kathy.

In the first half of the show, David Lorant, a farmer based in Rennes, France joins host Eleanor Goldfield to contextualize the widespread farmer protests that just recently saw farmers in tractors blockading major motorways across the country, calling for what media has spun as right-wing anti-ecological demands. David debunks media’s flat and flimsy reporting and highlights a wide array of issues for French farmers, and how these protests are an example of not only meeting people where they’re at to build powerful solidarity, but in not letting ideological differences stand in the way of legitimate shared demands.

In the second half of the show, filmmaker and youth forest defense activist Joshua Wright joins the show to discuss the insidious astroturfing campaign to privatize tens of thousands of acres of Alaskan nature under the guise of land back and Indigenous justice. Joshua details the corporatization of Indigenous peoples and their land in particular in Southeast Alaska where colonization and land exploitation take on the ultimate greenwashed facade in order to serve corporate interests over nature and humanity.
