Raid on Human Rights Radio

Cranking Up State Repression

SFLR News - 9-30-00

Human Rights Radio in Springfield, Illinois has been shut down by the
feds. An email sent out yesterday by long-time station supporter Mike
Townsend indicates that the station was raided at 5:15 p.m. yesterday by
a multi jurisdictional task force consisting of federal marshals,
sheriff's deputies, city police and Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) agents.

The task force ransacked the station, taking, broadcast equipment and a
computer.

"They took the transmitter, a mixer board, microphones, CD players, tape
players, some speakers-they had a two page list," Townsend told San
Francisco Liberation Radio in a phone interview this morning. "They even
took his computer."

This action comes just as news reaches us that half of the U.S. Senate
has now signed on to a bill introduced by Sen. Rod Grams (R-Minnesota)
to overturn the FCC's decision legalizing micro radio, or low-power FM.

Grams' bill is a replica of the notorious "Oxley Bill," which passed the
House on April 13. Both bills will reduce by 80 percent the number of
low-power FM stations which can be licensed and will require a new round
of technical tests that many view as a ruse designed to keep low-power
stations off the air permanently.

Human Rights Radio in Springfield was founded by Mbanna Kantako,
considered the father of the micro radio movement. Kantako, a blind
African-American, put the station on the air in 1987 and used the public
airwaves to discuss police brutality in the community.

This new level of state repression comes in the wake of four days of
successful in-your-face protests against the National Association of
Broadcasters (NAB) last week in San Francisco.

The NAB, in the past week, has mounted what has been described as a
"full court press" lobbying effort in support of the Grams bill, which,
it is expected, will be attached as a rider to a budget appropriations
bill so as to reduce the chances of a presidential veto.

The raid in Springfield came after a court hearing earlier in the day in
which a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against the
station, Townsend said. A second hearing, in which Kantako is expected
to represent himself, is scheduled for next Wednesday.

"He (Kantako) went down to the court room on Friday morning," said
Townsend. "They already had all the orders typed up and everything for
the judge to sign."

Townsend said FCC Agent Will Gray, who has paid visits and sent
threatening letters to the station for years, was present in the
courtroom. Gray works out of the Chicago FCC field office.

"The whole thing was this trumped up deal-I mean, it was no big
surprise-was that the station was supposedly interfering with air
traffic. And they had a log of pilots who supposedly said they had heard
this, that or the other thing. One of them said he thought he heard
kazoo music," Townsend said.

The FCC and the NAB have long raised the specter of air traffic
interference as a reason for outlawing low-power FM.

"It doesn't carry much weight around here because Mbanna has been on the
air 4,448 days and nights," Townsend said.

He added:

"The other thing is that it just so happens that this weekend is when
they have the big Springfield Air Show. The U.S. Airforce Thunderbirds
are going to be here and everything. I think they thought if anybody
gets concerned about this we'll just tell them he was endangering
thousands of lives and we just had to do something and so forth. It was
a good plan on their part. If I was them I'd do the same thing."

Townsend said Human Rights Radio plans to return to the airwaves if
equipment can be obtained. Persons wishing to make donations should call
217-789-0038.

The Old, White NAB

September 28, 2000

<http://www.radiodigest.com/columns_humor/2000/hum_092800_graham_1.phtml>

By Lyssa Graham

Somehow, you can know a thing and still not believe it until you see it.
Thanks to the NAB Radio Show 2000 in San Francisco, I now know, beyond a
shadow of a doubt, that radio is run by old white guys.
They were everywhere. For a moment I thought that I had fallen into a nest
of Southern Baptists. Even the people of color were represented by white
guys. The keynote speaker for the big industry breakfast was Colin Powell,
an openly white man who, to borrow from George Carlin, happens to be black.
No disrespect intended by that, but the truth is Colin Powell is about a
close to his black roots as Loni Anderson's hair is to hers.
Sure, there were a few black, brown and yellow folks running around the
show, but most of the faces were white. Old and white. It's frightening,
really.
There were a variety of hot topics at the show. Internet radio was a big
one. Satellite radio was even bigger. I'm wondering why so many people
pretended not to hear the hollow toll of the bell following the discussions
led by Lee Abrams of XM Satellite Radio.  There's a new age coming, and
Abrams as well as the folks at Sirius Satellite are poised to make life
difficult for terrestrial radio.
There was a session devoted to capturing the "Generation Why" market. For
those unaware of Generation Why, it's the group just after Generation X and
before the Generation Whatever group still in middle school. Why capture
them? I don't know. The only money they have is their parent's money.
But they'll spend it. That was the key to the entire NAB Radio Show.  It
was all about the money. How to get it, how to spend it, how to make more
of it and how to keep it from anyone desiring to run a low-power FM station.
Anti-LPFM sentiment attracted a crowd of protesters to the event.  Every
grass-roots organization in the country sees the NAB's fight against LPFM
as a threat to democracy and a sterling example of an evil corporate empire
at work. I'm inclined to agree with a lot of the protesters on principle,
but they certainly didn't present their arguments in the most effective manner.
The highlight for me was the four boys (they were boys, not men) who broke
through the rent-a-cop security at the door. These young men got into the
convention center and parked themselves in the middle of the entrance floor
in order to protest something, I'm not sure what. They managed to stay in
the building for quite some time because, as a defensive measure, they had
attached themselves together with bicycle locks. Around their necks.
Now I don't know about you, but I've seen bicycle locks attached to
telephone and light poles before. The locks appeared to be extremely
effective in protecting the lone tire they were still attached to the bikes
themselves being long gone. I assume that the same thing would apply to
human heads. There's no way of telling as the four bike boys were removed
by San Francisco Police before anyone could try sawing off their heads.
As an ace radio reporter, I spent time talking to the protesters at many of
their events. As near as I can tell, the protests were organized by every
group in the entire world in order to protest every possible thing in the
entire world. After listening to the 15th unwashed guy tell me that the NAB
was evil, I went back to the tried-and-true ace-radio-reporter events:
eating the free food in the press room.
You have to be quick to nab that free food. Radio reporters traditionally
don't make a lot of money, and they can be absolute vultures when it comes
to a free sandwich and some stale Starbucks coffee. The only things more
popular with the press than the free food were the free drink coupons
passed out at most events.
Drinking or reporting. You can guess which was most popular.
The wrap-up to the week's events was the celebrated Marconi Awards dinner.
If for some reason you had made it through the week without noticing the
aged whiteness of the crowd, the Marconi's would have made it crystal clear
to you. Good God, it was a dry event. Even with the copiously flowing free
wine.
The Washington Post's Frank Ahrens and I were the only people who found it
hilarious that WOOD-AM in Grand Rapids, Mich., would walk away with an
extremely phallic Marconi award. Get it? Wood, phallic.  We're lucky we
didn't get thrown out of the awards dinner. I blame the wine for the
hysteria at our table.
Even the entertainment shone a spotlight on the whiteness of the crowd.
Playing live, and I might add, rocking the joint was Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Granted, they haven't had a hit in years. Granted, they appeal primarily to
white boy rockers of a certain age, but still it was a great show.
And the audience reaction? They sat there. Even through "Sweet Home
Alabama." Amazing. I have been in the British Virgin Islands on a floating
bar named the Willie T and seen a crowd of Brits go bonkers for "Sweet Home
Alabama," and they don't even have an Alabama in England. I do not blame
Johnny Van Zant for throwing his mic stand across the stage and walking off
before the guitar solo ended during "Freebird."
I'm not even a big Skynyrd fan but it's downright un-American to sit
quietly through "Freebird." I would not have thought it possible.  When you
wonder why radio has gotten boring, remember that the guys who run it
didn't dance to "Freebird."
Sad. Next year's show will be in New Orleans. Maybe they can get Tony
Bennett to play. He'll appeal to the owners. If he's not too young for them.

Fired for having the wrong genes

The Guardian (UK)       Tuesday September 19, 2000

Special report: the ethics of genetics

'If you'd said I'd get fired for this, I would have laughed'

Health warning: As DNA screening takes hold, Americans find it can
leave them unemployed and uninsured

by Julian Borger in Washington

         The U.S. equal employment opportunities commissioner, Paul Miller,
has called for tougher safeguards for workers against genetic
discrimination after it emerged that hundreds of people have already lost
their jobs or insurance protection as a direct result of advances in
genetic screening.
         "Just as it is illegal to refuse to hire an individual because of
their
race or gender, it should be illegal to make job decisions based solely
upon genetic information without considering that person's ability to do
the work," Mr Miller wrote in an article in the University of Maryland's
Journal of Health Care Law & Policy.
         "It is simply bad science for an employer to use the presence of a
predictive genetic trait or marker to make workplace decisions, because
those traits cannot predict how well that person will succeed in the
workplace."
         Civil rights activists are growing concerned that if such Orwellian
practices develop at the same pace as the race to decipher the human
blueprint they could create a "genetic underclass" considered
unemployable because of the chemical codes they carry inside them.
'Flaws' cost jobs
         In a recent survey carried out by the Shriver centre for public health
in Massachusetts, doctors and genetic testing centres reported 582
cases of people who were turned down for jobs or health insurance
because of "flaws" discovered in their genes.
         Another watchdog organisation, the Council for Responsible
Genetics (CRG), says it has documented more than 200 cases of
genetic discrimination by employers.
         Researchers believe these figures are the tip of an iceberg. In most
cases the corporations involved are not keen to publicise their practices,
and nor are the victims, anxious to avoid further stigmatisation. In the
cases cited by the genetics council the victims are not referred to by their
full names.
         They include Kim, a social worker, who mentioned at a staff
workshop that her mother had died of Huntington's disease, giving her a
50% chance of developing the potentially fatal genetic condition. A week
later she was dismissed.
         In another case a 40-year-old woman with an exemplary employment
record agreed to take part in a genetic research survey and tested
positive for BRAC1, a gene linked to some breast and ovarian cancers.
Despite having preventive surgery she lost her health insurance and
then her job.
         Mr Miller is calling for new federal legislation to close the legal
loopholes that allow employers and insurance companies to gain access
to genetic information on prospective employees and use that
information in hiring and firing.
         An attempt to get Congress to pass an anti-discrimination law - led
by the Democratic leader in the Senate, Tom Daschle - has been
blocked by the opposition of the insurance industry and the corporate
lobby in Washington.
         Watching the bill being shelved until next year at the earliest, the
senator warned: "We simply cannot afford to take one step forward in
science while taking two steps backwards in civil rights."
         The scientists leading the race to decode the human genome - like
the physicists before them who first split the atom - also know the
dangers that are inherent in their mission.
         As the first draft of the human genome map was unveiled to a great
fanfare in June one of its principal authors, Francis Collins, director of
National Human Genome Research Institute, said: "Already, with but a
handful of genetic tests in common use, people have lost their jobs, lost
their health insurance and lost their economic well-being due to the
unfair and inappropriate use of genetic information."
Records unprotected
         Recent research has found that the fear of future discrimination can
be as damaging as discrimination itself, as people forgo screening for
potentially treatable conditions for fear the information will be used
against them in the future.
         A study by Georgetown University in Washington found that fear of
discrimination has led one in 10 people at risk deciding against testing
for genetic traits linked to cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease, colon
cancer and other conditions with a hereditary link.
         The U.S. department of labour has found that many women are
avoiding breast cancer screening because they believe a positive finding
would go on their medical records and become available to employers or
insurers.
         Their fears are justified in an unregulated market, where medical
data are often treated as a tradable commodity, bought and sold by
medical centres and insurance companies. In the words of one executive
at a medical data company: "There are more controls over the disclosure
of your video rentals than your medical records."

Czech Police Statement

Prague 28 September 2000

Police presidency of the Czech Republic
Public Relations Unit

Press information on aliens detained in connexion with the violent
protests against IMF and WB

The Police of the Czech republic detained, because of the active
participation in the violent protests in Prague, 231 aliens. All the
detained persons were committed to the alien police department of the
capital Prague in order to give an explanation. 129 of them have
already been removed in detention center of the Police of the Czech
republic B�lkov�. The administrative proces on expulsion of these
detained persons has been launched. In connexion with the intentional
breaking of public peace, the temporary residence of 93 aliens was
ended. 8 aliens were released without any measures. The ambassies of
the relevant states received the name lists of their citizens from the
police.

Yesterday, 27 September, an extraordinary event happened at local
police department of Prague 4. The USA citizen detained because of
active participation in demonstrations and questioned of the attack
against the public authority, attacked the policemen which were
present in the service room. She kicked several times one of him and
she smashed his uniform; she was trying to tear the insignias with the
service-numbers off the uniforms of the others policemen. That alien
was refusing to submit to investigating acts especially to the
communication of accusation as well. During the conflict she jumped
down off the window in the first floor of the buliding. According to
the preliminary information, her leg and spine were wounded.
Consequently the medical help and the hospitalisation in one of the
Prague hospitals were given to her. The event is investigated by the
supervision bodies of the Police presidency.

Prague - the globalisation of a city

The world order of globalisation has sharpened the undemocratic rule of
small elite, the social inequality and the militarisation under the
leadership of the US and its European partners to unprecedented dimensions.
During the summit of IMF and WB in Prague this world order was virtually
concentrated in one town. Militarily separated from the public and its
critics a hand full of world rulers thought about the future of their unjust
order. Not only their enemies were to be isolated and made silent by more
than 11.000 police and military troops (among those special
"anti-terrorist" � meaning state terrorist � units from the US, Germany and
other NATO states). Also 30.000 inhabitants of Prague were temporarily
displaced.

Since Seattle the apparent peace accompanying those summits of war has been
broken by the social and political movement to which the media has given the
name "enemies of globalisation". We can identify ourselves with this name
which is being used by the "open and liberal minded" journalists of the
establishment to ridicule us with both cynics and fear as living in the past
because of being still unwilling to accept the nice neo-liberal world of
free individuals even ten years after the fall of the Berlin war. But the
billions of victims of globalisation and neo-liberalism in the poor
countries will on the other hand recognise it as a chance to win a new
promising ally inside the opulent West.

In order to meet this hope the enemies of globalisation need a big portion
not only of courage but also of intelligence to confront our incredibly
tenacious enemy especially in the West, the political, military and social
cradle and stronghold of the unjust neo-liberal order. The fact that the
summit in Prague ended one day earlier as scheduled is therefore not the
most important result of the protests. Prague was after Seattle, where this
new subject of struggle was born, the major test regarding its political
strengths and weaknesses

Stick and carrot � Havel's garden party of civil society and riot police

A paradigm of Seattle has been the social and political broadness of the
protests: from those who strive for the protection of turtles, passing by
the protectionist US unions to the autonomous anarchists. The incredible
brutality of the police did not leave any space for half-measures facing the
enemy.

However, the characteristics of neo-liberal globalisation is not only
violent repression. "Left liberal" imperialism attempts also to integrate
the resistance wherever it seems to be possible by throwing bombs for "human
rights" and launching starvation embargos against "dictators". In Prague the
efficient imperial weapon of "devide et impera" was applied much more
cunningly as in Seattle that saw only sticks and tear gas. The head of the
World Bank, Wolfensohn, played comprehension for the opponents of
globalisation and the boss of the IMF, K�hler, claimed the struggle against
poverty that will half it in the frame of 15 years. As always the mass media
played a decisive role in the game to point to the most consequent enemies
of globalisation as criminals thus isolating them and legitimising the
repression against them. Vaclav Havel especially is able to carry out this
policy as the anti-communist part of the "civil society" is still
recognising him as a political, theoretical and morale authority in the
struggle for "freedom". With the meeting between civil society and the
leading personalities of IMF and WB he was able to re-integrate into the
strategy of the enemy one part of the NGO milieu, which in Seattle has been
part of the protests. It is positive that INPEG (Initiative against economic
globalisation) which have been invited to the meeting refused to participate
and therewith dealt a blow to the attempt of the enemy.

Apparently the meeting with the most outstanding personalities of the enemy
was a trick to obvious too be able to split the opponents of globalisation
except maybe the neo-liberal public relations NGOs, which are in no way
needed by the movement. But globalisation used also more subtle instruments
as for example the ideological bombardment against peoples which are being
denounced as "nationalists" (Yugoslavia), "fundamentalists" (Arab countries)
and even "fascists" (Iraq) to destroy their legitimacy as popular forces
against neo-liberalism.

Unfortunately in Prague representatives of those forces were lacking.

Even in those parts of the movement that regard themselves as
internationalist (let alone the absurd current of anti-nationals) there is a
broad refusal against those forces of real resistance against globalisation
inspired by "politically correct" prejudices and US and European centrism.
This is not only impeding the broad unity respecting the different forms of
protest effectively fighting globalisation. It is also helping the
neo-liberal globalisers to isolate the centres of resistance that we need to
bring down the international totalitarism of the New World Order. In order
to reach the unity to confront neo-liberalism we have to attempt to give
those peoples a voice in the movement against globalisation on the base of
mutual respect and the right of self-determination, sovereignty and its own
identity against the Western imperialist unitary thought.

A further problem: the split in the Czech movement

We only can speculate about the reasons why it was not possible to integrate
the communist forces against globalisation in Eastern Europe in general and
especially in the Czech republic. They would have been decisive to back the
protests with mass support as the Czech Communist Party (KSCM) can count on
the electoral support of more than 20% of the population which is expressing
a clear discontent with ten years of capitalism. One reason for the fact
that the KSCM did not participate at the IMPEG alliance is obviously its
social democratic integration into the institutions, its low appreciation
for mass protests and also its weakness to organise them � characteristics
of many communist parties originating from the state apparatus.

At the same time INPEG displayed a sectarian and excluding attitude against
communists. This was not only proved by some banners reading "The revolution
will not be bolshevised" or leaflets headlining "Nationalists, Stalinists
and parties of the regime are social and class enemies even if they present
themselves as forces of resistance" proving a profound anti-communist
spirit. The majority of the autonomous movement of Eastern Europe have their
origins in the left, anti-authoritarian wing of the civil right movement
against the bureaucratised non capitalist collectivist regimes and regard
the CPs still as enemies although they also have become excluded by
globalisation. Therefore they must be an integral part of an alliance. We
have to fight against the anti-communist currents in order to achieve unity.
At the same time the struggle against the neo-liberal social democracy and
the opportunist pragmatism of many former communist party is necessary and
legitimate.

The international day of action seen from the "blue block"

Our delegation has joint the "blue" part of the international demonstration.
(The demonstration consisted of three parts, blue, yellow and pink in order
to surround the congress centre and to encircle the participants inside.) In
this colourful diversity on the Memesti Miru place (place of freedom where
the starting rally took place) we felt most close to the Bask delegation
that participated in the blue block with their ikarunas (national flags).
The leadership of the blue demonstration was provided by the "black block"
consisting of the German, Greek and Czech autonomous movement. Our decision
to join the blue part was proved correct as they attacked the military
blockade most seriously erected around the conference centre. The clash with
the blue front which left many injured and led to several arrests was a
evidently a major reason for the IMF to prematurely finish its meeting.

However, only some meters away from the place of battle very few reminded of
the protests � maybe except the smell of tear gas. In Seattle the movement
was able to make the entire town the scene of protests. The "guerrilla
tactics" of Seattle is indispensable facing the powerful and concentrated
military and police deployment. The blockade and the prevention of the
conference as the main aim can only be reached with numerous tactical and
propagandistic collateral actions of different types. Especially those
actions allowed it in Seattle to break the media blockade and achieve the
broad dimension of the protest movement. Only the entirety of actions brings
about the political success and the possibility to reach the main goal.

In Prague the police tried to avoid these dynamics by unleashing brutality
against the de-centralised actions after the main demonstration. Therefore
those actions must be planned and co-ordinated in future events in order to
overcome sponateism, which helped the well-equipped police forces a lot to
repress the movement.

The struggle against globalisation is a popular one

Events like in Seattle or Prague are only episodes in a long struggle. IMF,
WB and WTO are symbols of globalisation whose unjust character is expressed
in various social, political and cultural contradictions. The movement
against globalisation cannot be reduced to spectacular big mobilisations
that fall apart later. Seattle and Prague helped many small and local
movements to understand themselves as part of an overall struggle that is
not only directed against single brutalities of globalisation but against
the totality of the social, political and cultural system of the New World
Order. In this way the alliance of Seattle and Prague must link itself to
the concrete social and political struggles of the population hit day by day
by the injustice. However, up to now the movement against globalisation was
strongly stamped by different forms of Western sub-culture not only
hindering many to participate but often even explicitly striving for an
encapsulation against the "normal" population. This can und must be overcome
by a new internationalist culture of resistance.

In this sense it is not only necessary to develop the international movement
against globalisation into a real popular movement but also to develop a
social and political alternative to counterpoise to the New World Order. The
unity in action on the political base of "justice and liberty" as well as
"globalisation of solidarity" is more than vague and risks to fall apart
right after every mobilisation. We need critical reflection of the results
of our practical struggle, we need exchange in order to find the appropriate
points and forms of new common action to deepen the contradiction of the New
World Order and to strengthen the anti-imperialist struggle. Within it a
revolutionary force must be built step by step advocating a new political
and economic project of emancipation.

An international movement to smash NATO or the European Union would be an
important continuation and concretisation of the movement of Prague. This is
necessary in order to win also the broad support of the popular masses of
Eastern Europe.

And when the struggles of peoples like those of Yugoslavia or Colombia is
openly challenging the New World Order the opponents of globalisation must
organise throughout the world new Seattles and Pragues. Only in those
struggles and its internationalist dynamics the hopes for justice and
liberty can become a real force being able to break the totalitarism of
globalisation and to start the transformation of society. In this frame the
movement of Seattle and Prague has to prove its real character.
