Political Discontent Radio

On this episode of Jump Street Radio, we bring you Post-NATO-Mortem. In times like these it seems that only gallows humor can help us cope with the utter brutality and stunning violence that was experienced on the streets of Chicago this week of May, NATO 2012. When you see an endless stream of people bleeding profusely from their heads after being savagely beaten by Chicagos Finest, what else can you do? Especially when the media tells the world that protesters were just covering themselves in red paint to fake injuries. Sorry to burst your bubble, but red paint doesnt coagulate as it runs down your face. Keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times and buckle in, this is going to be a hell of a ride.

Post NATO Preview... After spending the week in Chicago on the front lines of the NATO protests, Ben Clifford joins us to discuss just how far down the rabbit hole it goes. Shaken to the core, we get a first hand account of the utter police brutality that has never been reported. Kids getting relentlessly clubbed in the head, Police Vans apprehending and disappearing protesters, and Military hardware pointed straight at unarmed civilians. This is just the captivating prelude to our extended reporting on this past week in review.

This week, the Senate introduced the ex-PATRIOT act, after Facebook cofounder Eduardo Saverin renounced his US citizenship in order to evade taxes on his new-found $3B. A federal judge in New York blocked the NDAA indefinite detention clause as unconstitutional. And GOP SuperPACs are calling Obama the "Black-Abe-Lincoln". WTF does that even mean? This and more only on Political Discontent Radio.

On this episode of Jump Street Radio, Tim and Ben took to the streets to protest pre-emptive arrests ahead of the NATO Summit. So the girls hijacked the show and are now calling it GOD HATES FLAGS. While debating why exactly every activist in Chicago is protesting NATO, we got a visit from the ever informed, Rachel Allshiny, to answer our questions and set us all straight. Buckle in and lace up those shoes, because its always a bumpy ride.

In this PDR exclusive, we discussed with Tim his origins, what he is up to right now, and what his plans for the future are as a pioneer of real-time internet broadcasting. This is what it means when he says "Since day one, transparency has been our principle of solidarity... And when you break that, you don't belong as part of this movement." Welcome to Political Discontent Radio.
