  • Wild Wild Left Radio #79 Perma-War, Perma-Disasters, & Perma-Gov
    1984 much anyone? Come to the land through the looking glass yet again; where attacking an innocent Country and destroying it is Victory, where leaving means staying, where Oil spills become the Norm, where both Parties are One and Slavery is the best end-game for our economic system.
    We have myriad breaking news stories to cover, friends, listeners and lunatics... but really? We wish the song remained the same... but no, it IS getting worse.
    Be heard by joining in our live chat, or calling in! Spread the message by telling your friends to listen in or sending them the podcasts!
    Please join us for the only "out there where the buses don't run" LEFT perspective on the breaking news!

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #78 GLBT Mindbend - An Interview with Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore
    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.

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #77 Islamogeddon for Xenophobes
    Well Holy Moly and Guacamole! Racism is dead, according to Dr. Laura... other than all the poor whites being demonized by Black Activists who aren't satisfied they got their Black President. The damned oversensitive ingrates think she should not be able to say "Nigger" 11 times in 7 minutes!
    And that story is only the bait-in for a full Fest of the Parade of "White People Who Just Don't GET It." The 14th Amendment and Hispanic-hate. The Park 51 "non-mosque" protests.
    The absurd idea that Iraq's "withdrawal" is anything but a "New Dawn" for privatized armies, as we continue to occupy them.
    But Holiest of Scary?
    Iran gets nuclear fuel tomorrow!
    The ramped up fearmongering is on the Rise, and "We need YOU to PREVENT forest fires or Armageddon!!!"
    Gottlieb and I shall try and break through the layers of disinformation and tap into the main vein of truthiness tonight! See you on the air!!! Join us as we beat back the rhetoric of fear and loathing, on this the Eve of Mini-Woodstock!

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #76 What's a Stoned Professional Liberal to Do?
    Well, for one thing, not get too much exposure, or you end up "accidentally" drowning in your hot tub, like Matthew Simons.
    For another, expect to have no privacy and complete Orwellian Oversight - **with the added bonus** - of paying MORE for your intellectual property to be mined. The corporations now are directly writing laws and regulations.
    Lastly, get thrown under the bus by the Obama Administration for daring to espouse views that might benefit people rather than corporations.
    Overall? Pretty much get marginalized as high-on-drugs, dirty-f*cking-hippies for not praising the Obama Golden Calf giving us our golden shower, and basking with joy in said piss as red white and blue manna from the our Corporate Reality Creators, and believing all is at it should be.
    As Sally Panic says: GAME ON
    Lets roll............... because the Professional Left is not buying your shit anymore.

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #75 Disinformation Central!!!
    The Oil is all GONE! Corexit is candy! The leak is stopped! Shall we believe the official United States of Petroleum Reports????
    Or maybe the leak we should be talking about is the horrifying WikiLeaks, because their leaks about all the unnecessary civilian bloodshed may be causing unnecessary civilian bloodshed??? Whiskey Tango Censored Foxtrot!
    Judge Walker knows Constitutional Law, as proven by his ruling on Prop 8... but we are told not to believe him, cuz he is teh gayz! Is that the best they've got????
    We are finally leaving Iraq!!! Shall we celebrate the shiny new "advisory brigades" that replace the "combat brigades" without all that messy actual changing or leaving: The exact same people that were the latter have become the former! Go-bama! No, I mean it. GO! Leave!!!
    In the rest of the Middle East, we get to examine the shell game of whodunit/blame game as Israel ramps up war with Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Egypt, those nomady shepherd people and Martinique!! Ok, Martinique just might not be part of the blame game...yet.

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #74 World Colonization by Force
    Tonight we will continue our discussion from last week on the tool of Racism, a very real and rising tool. We will also speak to the ridiculous counter-racism claims, and paranoid accusations that always seem to stop truth being told.
    They say all war is Class War, and the numbers certainly belie that domestically... but tonight we will also be forging ahead to the larger Foreign Policy - and clarify just how our enemies are created: Fear and "isms" to one end: Make colonies of those who do not serve Western Interests.
    Of course, its not all gloom and doom, there are plenty of idiots to satire in this weeks headlines... and you know us. So we shall!

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #73 Hey Whitey! Be Afraid! (Racism in America)
    Irony might just be a couple of white Liberals talking about Racism in America... but they say the first step is acknowledging you HAVE a problem. This week was a SIREN CALL for racists.
    The Southern Strategy may have evolved from the "N-word" for many decades, but it has devolved even further now. The Neo-con strategy is to use the "tea party" to ramp up the most ugly, heinous and vicious "negrophobia" they can, as well as "latinophobia," "homophobia" "islamophobia"... you name it. It keeps people licking the boots of their masters to keep us "safe" from "those people."
    This strategy of fear, that culminated in the Bush-era success of setting the masses against their own security, rights and privacy in our own homeland is now being ramped up to attack the only threat to it. They do not fear Latin America, they fear the IDEA of a People's run Government that does not set the interests of the Elites first.
    It all bases back to White European Entitlement - and the time to kill that Original Sin, to end that hideous idea, both here and abroad is now.
    Come bear witness to our heresy. No one is Rich and Ruler by divine right - they are that way through theft, rape and abuse of the people from who they stole it.

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #72 The Sweltering Summer of Frog-boil
    Join Diane G and Gottlieb tonight!
    Well, it's official... Cheney's heart no longer beats, but he lives on.... and the heat is creeping up both on the thermometer, and on the crisis horizons.....
    The volcano of oil has been temporarily stopped, but there be dangers there..
    War with Iran inches closer.
    We have finance reform that isn't and bribes that are.
    Then, proof positive that the Elites are planning scenarios to make the new world order a totalitarian one - so much for global awakenings, folks.
    There is lots of HOT HOT HOT news, in this the Summer of Frog Boil....

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #71 An Interview with Joe Bageant
    Gottlieb and I have been given the honor of interviewing JOE BAGEANT to discuss his latest article, "Live from Planet Norte ~ America's totalitarian democracy and the politics of plunder, or, life is a titty tuck and a Dodge truck"
    This man GETS it. America has been at war since its very inception, a long and brutal war which most people choose not to see. Not only have we blinded ourselves to it, but we have become actively complicit in the fact we are losing it... Its a Class War, people!!! Whew... now these are the types of fireworks I can truly sink my teeth into!
    Joe is the author of "Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America's Class War." His newest book, "Rainbow Pie: A Redneck Memoir," deals with America's permanent white underclass, and how it was intentionally created. To be released in September in Australia and October in the United Kingdom. Rainbow Pie is available for preorder from Amazon-UK and Amazon-Canada.
