Its the First of April, and we are being played as fools. I wish it were something so blythe as a prank. The Ruling Class of this country have initiated and succeeded in Sedition against every principle we were taught our country stands for; every action is Sedition against you, me, we the People.
State by State they illegally restrict our rights and our ability to redress our complaints. They outlaw Unions, they restrict aid, threaten our very right to representation.
Nationally, the Uniparty blows smoke up our collective hineys, while continuing the process of extraction upward to move the wealth of the land into a few Oligarch’s hands.
Internationally, the Military Industrial Complex continues its march toward hegemony and terror.
All the while the people continue to be distracted by shiny lies, false-flag enemies and the kabuki theater of Good Cop/Bad Cop that our two-party system has become. The Left, as well as the Right continue to believe that a D or an R is their only option, rather than trashing the corporate funded lot of them, and rallying behind a new Party, in some twisted logic of “lesser evil” that makes the Rich squeal in delight.
You fight fire with fire, and sedition with sedition. Only is it really sedition to defend ourselves and refuse to comply with those who have co-opted our government; demand freedom, health, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
We are being FORCED down this road. To live as slaves or die as free men.
Game On.

Tonight the brilliant sooth & truthsayer Professor John Kozy returns to grace WWL Radio with his views on his two latest articles, Demented Democracy and A Revolting World.
He speaks of ideologies and the lack of persuasion, how Politics has become Religion, and how true Democracy is often not the true goal of the US elsewhere. He speaks of revolutionaries must never quit being revolutionary for true change to occur. Revolution is happening in the Middle East and has begun to spread. We need to heed John’s words!
I love talking to the brightest and the best, and am honored to bring John Kozy to our working class audience! Viva la revolucion!
John Kozy is a retired professor of philosophy and logic who writes on social, political, and economic issues. After serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, he spent 20 years as a university professor and another 20 years working as a writer. He has published a textbook in formal logic commercially, in academic journals and a small number of commercial magazines, and has written a number of guest editorials for newspapers.

Tonight, I have the rare honor of speaking to one of the premier architects of Social Reform, a humanitarian who’s life work has been in helping the poor, Professor Frances Fox Piven.
Piven has been a target of demonization by right-wing mouthpiece Glenn Back of Fox News this past year, ramping the hate up to frightening levels as of late.
It is amazing that anyone can attribute the destruction of society to helping the poor, and giving voice to the ordinary citizens to better their lot. Not so amazing when viewed under the harsh realities of the Class War… the Elite Class now fears the huge underclass they have created by their extraction capitalism, and certainly wants to make an example of anyone who has spoken for People’s Rights and Reformation so that we continue to be powerless.
Distinguished Professor Frances Fox Piven received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Before coming to the Graduate Center, she taught at Boston University, Columbia University, New York University Law School, the Institute of Advanced Studies in Vienna, the University of Amsterdam, and the University of Bologna. She is past Vice-President of the American Political Science Association, has served as program co-chair of the annual political science meetings, and is a past president of the Society for the Study of Social Problems. She is currently President of the American Sociological Association. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the President’s Award of the American Public Health Association, and the American Sociological Association’s Career Award for the Practice of Sociology, as well as their award for the Public Understanding of Sociology. Her books deal with the development of the welfare state, political movements, urban political, and electoral politics. Among them are REGULATING THE POOR (winner of the C. Wright Mills Award ub 1972, and updated in 1993); POOR PEOPLE’S MOVEMENTS (1977); THE NEW CLASS WAR (1982; UPDATED 1985); WHY AMERICANS DON’T VOTE (1988); THE MEAN SEASON (1987); LABOR PARTIES IN POSTINDUSTRIAL SOCIETIES (1992); THE BREAKING OF THE AMERICAN SOCIAL COMPACT (1997); WHY AMERICANS STILL DON’T VOTE (2000); and THE WAR AT HOME (2004); Challenging Authority: How Ordinary People Change America (2006).
Join us tonight, as Professor Piven helps to enlighten us on what can be done NOW, in a society that has crushed Unions, dissolved voting blocks, and damaged our economy to likely a point of no return.

We will be discussing the failure of Socio-economic reforms, and how to address changing the system against all odds. He will be asked to weigh in on Wikileaks, and the dissemination of information in this heavily censored and right-slanted media environment.
An outspoken critic of Israel’s actions against the Palestinians, Professor Chomsky will have a chance to weigh in on recent events taking place in that quagmire.
Due to scheduling conflicts, the time has been changed from our usual slot. His office, through Assistant to Noam Chomsky Bev Stohl, was kind enough to bend over backwards to provide this time slot to keep the interview this week.
Professor Chomsky will only be available from 4:30 to about 5:10, so please be there early to catch every precious moment of our interview!!!

Our Topic This Week:
WWL Radio had the honor of interviewing Atty Kurt Haskell last January 8th, following his eyewitness accounts of the attempted “underwear bombing” on Flight 253 into Detroit.
He returns tonight, to update us on what, if anything, resulted in his reporting at the time: The well dressed man walking Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab around security. He has since attempted to see Umar in Prison, perhaps offer his services as a Lawyer, to a complete roadblock. Most importantly? Kurt has much to say about the “Rape Scanners” being sold to an unwilling and unwitting Public as a money-making scam that has nothing to do with our safety.
Here’s Kurt’s hilarious spoof on the Scanners, which can be found, along with more of the Haskell’s commentaries on “Lori’s Liberal Realm”.
Video Kurt created discussing the Underwear Bomber with Michael Chertoff.

Our Topics This Week:
Fire up your helicopters, and burn your worthless Benjamin’s to warm your catfood, the perfect trifecta of economic shocks will have austerity measures in your lap before you can say “re-regulate.”
While former Prez’nit Decider re-writes history to give us a warm fuzzy about the anal probe, he extols the virtues of our Current Capitulater for a good reason… he’s about to help jam it in us deeper than the Shrublet’s wildest dreams!
Viewed within the history of deregulation, business personhood and recent overt Elite favoring SCOTUS rulings, let WWL Radio guide you into the latest Shock therapy the US is undergoing. The market has been flooded with a weakened dollar, while Obama tries to market it to the G20. (or 19 he’s screwing) The Catfood Commission has ruled that we need to give the rich more and the people less. Trillionaire businessmen have bought ads to flood Prime Time to convince us that the SOLVENT Social Security must be privatized or you won’t GET yours! (bullshit)
And not ONE of these measures will bring you a JOB or the Country economic relief.
As the Fear and Loathing is ramped up against our own citizens and our Justice system takes a pass on everything from rich hit and run drivers to CIA destruction of Evidence – the rise of a Class War 2 tiered system is evident on every level. Will we wake up before its too late?
In 1975 Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said, ‘The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer.’

Religious extremism is epidemic.
Is the anti-masturbation drive of a O’Donnell any less extreme than some of the Islamic whacks opinions about human sexuality?
Are the Muslim bombers any less brutal than the Jewish clerics calling for the eradication of all Palestinians? Are either less deadly than the American Christians who call for bombing Women’s Health Clinics or for the murder of Gays?
Under the umbrella of all this ramped up hatred, lies the fact the we are losing the Class War; its pawns doing the dirty work of ensuring Peace Talks will not work, ensuring Populist ideas are disparaged, and most of all keeping the People of the Country and the World too divided to notice what has been done to them.

Gottlieb and Diane G. are live and in color (or is that off color?) on WWL radio Friday night at 6pm Eastern Time to guide you through Current Events taken from a Wildly Left Prospective.

The Mid-Terms are bearing down our throats like Cholula Sauce and there just isn’t enough Mescal to put out the fire. It BUUUUUUUUUUURNS!
So, here we are on the Left of the Left fringes of Liberal/Progressive Land wondering just what we are supposed to be doing. The Obama administration has done more to crush the Left than a thousand Palin Presidencies ever could, and exposed the Bipartisan Kabuki as bad Uniparty Political theater more than a tsunami of heinously acted fake Beck tears.
Less than 50% of the People normally vote in a POTUS year, far less in the midterms. So with the Left thrown fully under the bus by the Democrats, do we bother to vote? Do we sink to the lesser of the two evils again, vote third party and write ins, register Republican to force people to see the horrors of their ways, or start burning our Ballots outside of every Polling Place in the US in protest?
What are the viable alternative outcomes as the Empire collapses? Will unions be the structure, or utter chaos, or a Police State?
Is there any ground level structure that can be formed to make We The People wrest our Power back from its Corporate Sponsors?
Is it all over but the hoarding heirloom ganga seeds, toilet paper and porn?
The Debate is on, folks: Jump in!

Wild Wild Left Radio #78 GLBT Mindbend – An Interview with Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore
Gottlieb and Diane G. are live and in color (or is that off color?) on WWL radio Friday night at 6pm Eastern Time to guide you through Current Events taken from a Wildly Left Prospective.
Hear the Unreported & Under Reported Headlines stories you should be paying attention to, from US Politics, to the farthest reaches of the Earth by the WWL coalition of subversion: undermining the PTB by speaking Truth to Power!!!!
Come join in on our interview with Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore. Check out her blog “NOBODY PASSES, darling”!
Mattilda was recently interviewed on NPR and Pacifica where she talked about the malevolence of the mainstream gay marriage/military/ordination-to-the-priesthood movement, resisting the violence of assimilation, gender fascism, gay hyperconsumerism, sex work, myopic liberals, defiant ways of loving, the failure of the “gay liberation movement”, US imperialism, creating oppositional culture, challenging all hierarchies (including anarchist hierarchies), incest, and more!
This will be one fascinating, insightful, transgressive and fabulously provocative show you don’t want to miss. She makes the case against the gay marriage movement.
WWL is delighted to have Mattilda with us this Friday. She challenges EVERYTHING, even the narrative of Gentrified Mainstream *Gaydia, (yes that is a Dianism, inspired by her book) who she feels has co-opted the larger movement against the realistic needs of the larger GLBT community.
In reading her latest book, “So Many Ways to Sleep Badly” you are transported directly to the place of no words, to the direct soul of her being. And that being is amazing. This is not observational reading, this is rolling around in the direct-essence of Mattilda until you are Mattilda. Buy this book! It will change your EVERYTHING.
From the boxes we all put one another in, to the issues people “decide” are important, to the description of “acceptable” behaviors… the only way to bend the spoon is to realize there is no spoon. When you read or listen to Mattilda, you are invited directly to a place where there is no you, and no her, there is only surviving a world of shattered glass pasts, the hugs that put the Earth back on her axis, the sweet relief of an orgasm, and always, always the air we all breathe.
We will be discussing her book, gentrification, gay marriage, anarchy, sex workers, tricks, gross consumerism, or anything the fuck else she feels like talking about.
Come let your mind be bent… or blown!
Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore is a writer, editor, activist, critic and troublemaker. Most recently, she is the author of the novel So Many Ways to Sleep Badly (City Lights 2008). She is also the editor of Nobody Passes: Rejecting the Rules of Gender and Conformity (Seal 2007), and an expanded second edition of That’s Revolting! Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation (Soft Skull 2008).
Mattilda’s first novel was Pulling Taffy (Suspect Thoughts 2003), and she also edited Dangerous Families: Queer Writing on Surviving (Haworth 2004) and Tricks and Treats: Sex Workers Write about Their Clients (Haworth 2000), which now also appears in Italian (Effepi Libri 2007).
Mattilda is currently working on a new anthology, Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots?: Flaming Challenges to Masculinity, Objectification, and the Desire to Conform. She is immersed in Lostmissing: a public art project – about the friend who will always be there, and what happens when you lose that relationship. She is also working on a memoir called The End of San Francisco.
Mattilda’s articles, essays, interviews, reviews, and stories appear regularly in a variety of publications, including the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Bitch, Utne Reader, AlterNet, Bookslut, The Stranger, and The Gay & Lesbian Review, and she writes a monthly column in Maximumrocknroll.
Mattilda is the reviews editor at the feminist magazine Make/shift, where she also writes a column.
In 2010, Mattilda made a short film, All That Sheltering Emptiness, in collaboration with Gina Carducci. Mattilda and Gina are currently working on a second film.
Mattilda’s activism has included ACT UP in the early ’90s, Fed Up Queers in the late ’90s, Gay Shame, and numerous lesser-known (or even unnamed) groups.
Mattilda lives in San Francisco, but tours regularly, and is available for bookings. In the past, she has appeared in independent bookstores, community centers, performance venues and universities including Yale, Harvard, Brown, McGill, University of Chicago, Wesleyan, Macalester, NYU, UCLA, University of Massachusetts, Evergreen, DePauw, DePaul, Mills, Antioch, University of Michigan, Wagner, University of Oregon, UC Santa Cruz, Georgetown, and others.
