Project CENSORED & Green Scare Political prisoners & POWER UP!
Mini-Pledge Drive for KFAI

Programming on 'CATALYST" Friday, Dec. 5,11am: a conversation with PETER PHILLIPS, co-editor (with Andrew Roth) of PROJECT CENSORED,the 2009 editon (Seven Stories Press). This is the annual collection of the 25 most important stories the Corporate media DIDN'T tell you about (in late 2007-2008). From the number of Iraqi people killed by the U.S. occupation and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS unaccounted for in Iraq to marijuana arrests hitting a national record for the fourth year in a row, to Bush buddies profiting from NCLB and his Executive Order to seize war protestors' assets; the FDA is complicit with pushing Big Pharma drugs while the APA is complicit with torture--and more. Plus, hear from those who are political prisoners of what they call "the Green Scare"---the government's targeting of environmental activists as "domestic terrorists" (although no human being has ever been injured or killed in any Earth Liberation Front or Animal Liberation Front action). Event info below.
Host/producer Lydia Howell, a Minneapolis independent journalist

Breaking these kinds of silences is what community radio and all other independent media is all about!
