** "Sit down for this one, get ready - gonna be tough..."

The Politics Of Language And Manipulating The Narrative. Pacifica Host Garland Nixon reads the newspapers - as to how the so-called 'business titans' alias US oligarchs decided to lie to you, to change your minds.

** "I had a childhood that was rough, I didn't love my childhood years. And acting was a salvation for me - and it felt like my trip out of the circumstances I grew up in..."

Nick Stahl Talks What You Wish For, Keep Quiet. The actor known for The Thin Red Line, Man Without A Face and Terminator: Rise Of The Machines delves into his latest offbeat, economic crisis cinema, political horror venture. And his down and out chef on the run, who turns up in a Latin American town somewhere in the Third World, cooking up ruling class dinners with possibly proletarians on the menu.

Along with his own, not unrelated thoughts since a child in movies, on how Hollywood can eat you up alive; as a recovered meth addict making his comeback; Hitchcock, his bad cop with Lou Diamond Phillips on a Native Rez in the upcoming Keep Quiet - and how 'acting saved me...'

** "This is really close to home, about one of the largest ammunition plants in the US, officially known as the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant - and the only one supplying 155 mm artillery shells to Ukraine.

The One Minute Marxist: Arts Express continues the legacy of Darryl Waistline Mitchell, Detroit auto worker, comrade, and organizer of The League Of Revolutionary Black Workers, who tragically passed away on April 17th.

The first in that series, The Five Minute Marxist this week, presented by Peter Wise reporting from the Red Star Cafe...

** "Are you or have you ever been against genocide..."

The New Repression On College Campuses As The Return Of The Red Scare: Arts Express Paris Correspondent Professor Dennis Broe on the criminalization of free speech, and the militarization of campuses across America.

As universities are called before Congress, where they must betray their own students - and pledge allegiance to a new wave of repression, or be fired. With connections to Google, IBM, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, HUAC, and Rupert Murdoch.

"On a photo from Vietnam of two American soldiers holding five civilians at gunpoint...all of them standing in a quiet river..."

Poetry In Performance: A Solo Presentation Tribute To Connie Nordgren, from the unpublished works the late poet left behind. Contemplating kitchen midnight, and 'the alley with its cooler breath, doesn't hold yesterday...'
