Assange is Free. Eno on Gaza. From Cannabis to Canola. Stonewall Chart.
Tonight's wide-reaching program actually starts with a discussion of Thursday's "debate" and wends its way through much interesting territory and lands in Greenwich Village on 6/28/69.

Brian Eno segment on Gaza starts at about 40 minutes. Brazilian medicine man Otavio Mendes starts at about 1:33. Tantra Studio on the Stonewall chart starts at about 3:10. If you are going to navigate the program this way, it’s probably easier to download the show and then use a music player.

Excellent point about the Eno/Barat discussion's failure to bring up the context of digital society and its general disembodiment of human beings. These disembodied beings are seeing what's going on in Gaza and are incapable of grasping this because they are disconnected from reality.
Point of information. The US has never been dependent upon "Middle East" oil for the American nation state's own supplies. Even when the US imported a huge percentage of the oil used, the big 3 suppliers were Canada, Mexico and Venezuela. But the nations of Europe and Asia are dependent upon these supplies. And this has been a big reason for US global domination since WWII, as its domination of oil producers in the "Middle East" and the general use of the dollar as the basic trading currency for oil has meant the control of supplies to rival industrial powers, imagined and real.
Good point about Assange's confession being coerced.
There is one positive thing to the Biden-Trump fiasco last night. The utterly demented state of the political system as a whole, a system which has made one of these two the likely winner of the next presidential race, is out there to see. The system from the very beginning in the 18th CEntury has served to mask the actual nature of power, hiding the absolute rule by the ruling rich elite behind the curtain of elections which provide the illusion that the people select the decision makers who govern them, rather than merely choosing between people competing to be flunkies for these elites, auditioning for the role of enforcers of the ruling order.
And glad to see you finally did get around to play the Gang of Four, which you have talked about doing for a while. "Return the Gift" was one of my favorite tracks on their first album, Entertainment. Damn, it's been over 44 years since first hearing it, which i did under.... special conditions.
Are you sure Assange is free? What do you really know about what has been done to him and will continue to be done to him? I believe he will continue to be tortured, but in ways that are invisible to the world at large.

I have been a Targeted Individual for thirty-four years, which is half my entire life. I believe that Julian Assange is yet another Targeted Individual, though he has a bigger profile on the world stage than millions of others who are similarly targeted.
