1:30-2:30 Jim Freeman, “How the Filthy Rich Profit from Racism’’




Jim Freeman is a Civil Rights lawyer and organizer who served under President Obama as a Commissioner on the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans. He is the director of the Social Movement Support Lab at the University of Denver. As he explains in this talk, after decades of hard struggle alongside communities of color throughout the US to change racist policies, it began to dawn on him that those communities were no better off because “for every injustice they thought they were solving, an equally nasty one would pop up to replace it.” He felt like they were playing “racism whack-a-mole”. It was then that he started to look into the dark forces behind what he calls ”strategic racism.”




Through incisive studies of the education, criminal justice, and immigration systems, Freeman explains how policies that keep people of color less educated, policed at impossible rates, and in constant fear of deportation, have in large part been enacted and supported by America’s ultra-wealthy.




On this episode of Pirate TV, Jim Freeman is here to talk about his new book,

"RICH THANKS TO RACISM: How the Ultra-Wealthy Profit from Racial Injustice" an in depth study of the financial data that tracks billions of dollars in donations from the Koch family, the Walton family, Bill Gates, and other billionaires that are at the root of the mass incarceration system, the vast immigrant detention system, and the dismantling of public schools within communities of color. It uncovers how Fortune 500 companies such as General Electric, Bank of America, and ExxonMobil use their economic and political clout to actively contribute to the perpetuation of racial inequities. Not only are American oligarchs promoting policies that damage Black and brown communities, but they are also increasing their fortunes while doing it. Freeman names the people, banks, corporations, and hedge funds profiting off of others’ pain and in the process answers what is stopping real progress toward social justice and equity in the United States. And at the end, he talks a little bit about what we can do about it.

2:30-3:30 Henry Giroux, ‘’The Attack on Public Education’’

Program #GIRH003. Recorded in Hamilton, ON on July 25, 2022.




These are difficult times for public education. It is under political attack by what noted educator and scholar Henry Giroux calls the “apostles of authoritarianism.” He says, “Public schools, more than ever, are subject to the toxic forces of privatization and mindless standardized curricula while teachers are de-skilled and subject to intolerable labor conditions, not unlike Walmart workers. Unfortunately, public and higher education now mimic a business culture run by a managerial army of bureaucrats, more suited to work as accountants in pencil factories than in schools. At the same time, all levels of education are under attack by right-wing politicians who are censoring history, forbidding discussions about racism, eliminating tenure, and imposing enormous restrictions on teacher autonomy.”




Henry Giroux, a prominent public intellectual, prolific writer, commentator, and scholar. He teaches at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. He is a founding theorist of critical pedagogy. Among his many books are Neoliberalism’s War on Higher Education, The Violence of Organized Forgetting, and America at War with Itself. He is a member of Truthout‘s Board of Directors and a regular contributor to the nonprofit, independent online news organization.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 26



12-1 Dave Emory, ''For the Record 1260 - ‘How Many Lies Before You Belong to the Lie” Part 22




Updating coverage of the Ukraine war, the title of this series comes from the late, brilliant political comedian Mort Sahl’s 1976 autobiography Heartland. Mort Sahl was one of Jim Garrison’s investigators in the New Orleans DA’s investigation of the assassination of JFK.

The program begins with discussion of a powerful economic motive for baiting Russia into the Ukraine war–creating a pretext for obliging Europe and Germany to forego use of the Nordstream 2 pipeline and sever the EU from consumption of Russian natural gas.

” . . . . The only way left for U.S. diplomats to block European purchases is to goad Russia into a military response and then claim that avenging this response outweighs any purely national economic interest. As hawkish Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, explained in a State Department press briefing on January 27: ‘If Russia invades Ukraine one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.’ The problem is to create a suitably offensive incident and depict Russia as the aggressor. . . .”

In FTR#1245, we detailed Swiss intelligence officer Jacques Baud’s analysis of Ukraine’s impending assault on the ethnically and linguistically Russian population of Eastern Ukraine and Biden’s signing off on that operation in order to realize American and Western European goals.

Next, we present an oblique, possibly very significant element. A Foreign Policy article discussing a forbearer of EU president Ursula Von Der Leyen’s who was a key Third Reich official in Galicia (Western Ukraine).

It appears that Joachim Freiherr von der Leyen was a member of the prominent silk merchant family into which Ursula married.

Conventional family trees make no mention of him: ” . . . . Joachim Freiherr von der Leyen ( September 28, 1897 in Haus Meer , Büderich (Meerbusch) ; † 1945 in Dresden ) was a German lawyer and administrative official who worked as a district administrator in the occupied countries of Czechoslovakia and Poland during the National Socialist period and as a district captain of the district of Galicia was involved in the organization of the Holocaust. Von der Leyen comes from the von der Leyen family of silk barons in Krefeld. . . .”

Next, we highlight the ongoing lionization of Ukrainian Nazi and fascist elements in the mainstream U.S. press…

1-2 Insights At the Edge: Mary Firestone:

“Trusting the Dawn: Choosing Freedom and Joy After Trauma”




In 2018, Mary Firestone survived the tragic Montecito mudslide caused by 200 million gallons of rainfall in 15 minutes, washing away her home and more than a hundred others. In the wake of this experience, Mary began a healing journey that led to the creation of her new book, Trusting the Dawn: Choosing Freedom and Joy After Trauma. In this podcast, Sounds True’s founder, Tami Simon, speaks with Mary about her personal story and the lessons she offers in the book, including how we share the narratives of our past traumas; the difference between being victimized and remaining in victimhood; reframing our experiences versus spiritual bypassing; the importance of integration for the healing of trauma; MDMA, ketamine, and holotropic breathwork therapies; the “personal I” and the “depersonalized I”; initiation experiences; overcoming fear around speaking your truth; hypnosis and past-life regression as a pathway to wholeness; meditation, EMDR, flower essences, and other widely accessible alternative healing modalities; the power of choice; and more.

Mary Firestone is a graduate of Princeton University and has an MA in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University. Her own transformative epiphanies led her, along with her sister Lucy, to found their company Firestone Sisters Inc. in 2012, with the aim of providing others with healing and growth opportunities. She's been featured in Goop, Well+Good, and Forbes. Learn more at firestonesisters.com. She resides in California.
