Jim Dunn, human rights observer and columnist, talks to 2NimFM about the UN's decision to boycot the "Truth and Friendship Commission", set up to 'investigate' the responsibility of high ranking Indonesian military personnel for the mayhem that followed the 1999 East Timorese vote for independence from Indonesia, at the hands of Indonesian controlled 'militias'. Unfortunately, the condition that those called before it be granted impunity from prosecution has made it appear in the eyes of many - including the UN - as a mockery of natural justice. |

Stuart Monkton of Greenleft Weekly talks about the aftereffects of the denial of licence renewal of RCTV; Venezuela's biggest Television media conglomerate. He explains why the Anglophone mainstream media interpretation of this as 'censorship' is disingenuous (if not downright dishonest) - and how the refusal to disallow the license renewal to the commercial channel advantages public radio by freeing up formerly privately monopolised bandwidth. Stuart also explains some of the astounding spinoff of Venezuela's socialisation program. Health programs which will put Venezuela light years ahead of the US health system, and an investment in the future with 18 new Universities. Venezuela is aiming to become less dependent on imports and using its resources to become a skill based autonomous producer of goods and technologies that will empower the Third World to use its own resources to break away from US hegemony. |

(Spanish Language version - work on English language voice-over is under way). (The narration sounds good, even if you don't understand Spanish!) Sub Commandante Marcos banters with a crowd of enthralled children as he tells a political parable based around the story of a farting rock that travels the world with the help of the children of the Zapatista Autonomous School.A delightful sideline to the 6th Zapatista 'InterGalactica' Congress, with international guests and visitors from all over the world in consultation with representatives from peasant communities in the Zapatista 'Liberated Zones' in Chiapas, in southern Mexico. Community Radio Station 2NimFM has the good fortune to be in touch with Julie Webb. Julie is an independent freelance journalist who has been sending sound files including these exclusive sessions with the Zapatista leader, Sub-Commandante Marcos, to 2NimFM via the internet within hours of them taking place. This particular session is a gem. Marcos is famous in Mexico for his political fables, parables and allegories that are influenced by the decades he spent as a guerilla living clandestinely with the peasant communities of the Lacandon jungles of Chiapas, near the Guatemalan border. [Perhaps his most famous creation is Durito - . Durito (which is also Spanish for "tough little guy") is a dung beatle, versed in Hegelian philosophy, who Marcos caught stealing his tobacco one day. Durito gives Marcos lots of advice on Mexican and International politics, although Durito occasionally becomes impassioned and Quixotically rides out to be a champion for social justice on a tame tortoise called 'Pegasus'. The tales of Durito can be found at http://www.actlab.utexas.edu/~zapatistas/sim.html] Enjoy |

Australian independent journalist Julie Webb was present at the Zapatista Congress at Oventic this weekend, and captured a moving speech by the nominal leader of the Zapatista movement, 'Sub Commandante' Marcos (or 'el Sup'' as he is affectionately known) and sent the sound file through cyberspace to Community Radio 2NimFM for immediate broadcast and podcast. In his speech El 'Sup' addresses the struggle of the Yaqui Indians, in the Northeast of Mexico. While most 'Westerners' have only heard of the Yaqui Indians through the writings of Carlos Castaneda, describing his experiences with a Yaqui Shaman ("Don Juan - a Yaqui Way of Knowledge") Marcos describes the historical struggles of the Yaqui Indians, not only spiritually, but historically - for cultural survival, and at this time, their struggle for land and even more importantly, water. (In Spanish, but watch this spot - English voiceover is on the way!) |

What do Sam Watson and Emiliano Zapata have in common? Why is Cyberspace like an English country garden? These questions are Scanned, the 'T's crossed, 'I's Dotted, and the answers Organised into a coherent vision of what today's society would be if it could only follow the inspirational example of Nimbin and its community radio station. - At least, that is the view of Dave Riley from Ratbag Radio, LeftCast, VenSol, and other podcast networks, who drops in to the 2NimFM studios with son Keir, and chats with Martin and Warwick. We get an insight into what true aboriginal activism is, and the younger generation's vision of the Internet. We heard the first part of this program two weeks back. Now hear the full package. |

Dave Riley from Ratbag Radio, LeftCast, VenSol, and other podcast networks drops in to the 2NimFM studios and chats with Martin. The media grid is sizzling with news of Johnny Howard's massive interventions into Aboriginal communities. Dave is plugged in to the Murri Queensland Aboriginal experience. This experience puts Little Johnny's exercise into perspective. Just another nasty display of defensive white muscle. The Hurley case gets kneed where it deserves to collect a kneeing, and we learn why Sam Watson deserves to be heard ahead of some other aboriginals. Maybe Uluru should be closed to tourists? |
