JESSICA LANGE CHECKS IN

** "This is classic political suicide - smells like a butt whipping to me..."

Pacifica Host Garand Nixon on what these US elections are really all about - a villains and victories socio-political autopsy. With connections to oligarchs, Epstein, wars, George Carlin, Israel, false flags, the Tea Party, MAGA, the Koch brothers - and 'a few scraps of bacon for the masses...'

** "That was the reason I wanted to do it - because the characters are so big and baroque, and fascinating to play..."

Jessica Lange Talks Long Day's Journey Into Night, American Horror Story, and her Frances Farmer and Joan Crawford...The veteran actress whose work spans these two centuries, in a conversation about her portrayal in Long Day's Journey Into Night of the barely disguised, prescription drug addicted tortured mother of late iconic playwright, Eugene O'Neill, and Ed Harris as O'Neill's father.

Along with Lange's many manifestations on screen and stage across the decades, of women real and imagined. Whether imprisoned in gilded cages, or politically and emotionally destroyed like Hollywood blacklisted star Frances Farmer.

** "We are all exhausted and we are getting to the end of this. And either they are going to smash our noses flat in the mud, the blood and the beer once and for all - or this is the real revolution..."

Banned in Canada, surviving five terms in jails and prisons for protesting against the US military - and a daring bid to break through the closed doors of power on Capitol Hill, as an Iowa Congressional candidate back in 2000. And Palecek's work distributed by CWG Press, 'a small publisher with big ideas...'

** "As an example how this age of plunder is coming back to haunt the old continent, the current rebellion did not start in France..."

Bro On The Global Cultural Beat: The Civil War In France - Causes And Consequence. Arts Express Paris Correspondent Professor Dennis Broe previews this coming week's 'combined call of five leading French unions for a general strike...as militant firefighters battle police water cannons with their own fire truck hoses.'

While, 'essentially three reasons the entire country and indeed the continent (massive protests also in Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Albania, and now Germany and Switzerland) is rising up...'
