Asheville View: Johnnie Rush Interview Part 3

Asheville View: Johnnie Rush Interview Part 3

September 22, 2019 by Stretch

Asheville FM contributor, Aisha Adams, brought us a recent interview she did with Johnnie Rush on the Asheville View. Mr Rush was assaulted by Asheville Police officers in August 2017 while walking home from work. Former officer Christopher Hickman plead guilty and was convicted of “felony assault by strangulation, misdemeanor assault by strangulation, and misdemeanor communicating threats.”

Part 3, the final segment of the audio interview, is featured below.

To hear more work from Aisha Adams with the Asheville View, including this three part video interview, you can visit their website at: http://theavlview.com/

The Ovas Speak on Living and Fighting in L.A.; La Concha, the Psyco Brigade, Feminism, and Anti-Racisms

September 22, 2019 by bogoodness

Airs on WSFM-LP 103.3 in Asheville / streaming at AshevilleFM from 3am EST on September 23rd through 29th, 2019 and podcasting on libsyn.com.

. … . ..

This week we had the chance to interview three people who organize with La Concha, which is an anarchist space in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles that does many projects such as prisoner solidarity, legal and popular education, reading groups, bike brigades, and lots else. We talk about their work, and how the three came to be doing what they are doing right now, and also about the incursions that they’ve been experiencing from authoritarian Communists in the area. I felt great getting to have this conversation with them and really energized to build where I’m at, but also to help build more bridges between places all over so we as anarchists can enrich and nuance each other’s thinking and praxis.

Big thanks to the folks at Firestorm for putting TFS in touch with La Concha! Here’s to many more colabs and for a furtherance of anarchist, Indigenous, and decolonial spaces.

To learn more about La Concha and the Psycos, you can follow them on all their social medias:

-On Instagram for @la_conxa, @ovarian_psycos, and @psycobrigade

-FedBook is at https://www.facebook.com/ovarian.psycos/

To see all their merch, which is how they raise funds for rent on their space, you can go to ovarian-psycos.zibbet.com

For a website to visit to see some of their initial writings and blog posts, you can go to ovarianpsycos.com

You can learn more about the Institute for Advanced Troublemaking you can go to their website at https://advancedtroublemaking.wordpress.com/

To read the zine they were mentioning called AlwaysAgainstTheTanks, follow the link!

Also if you come across a documentary about the Ovas and are curious to watch it, get in touch with them for a copy! For this inquiry and all others, say if you have something to contribute to the zine they were talking about, you can email them at ovarian.psycos@gmail.com

Jeremey Hammond Resists a Grand Jury + Shane McDonnell on Re-Claiming Nietzsche

September 15, 2019 by bogoodness

Airs on WSFM-LP 103.3 in Asheville / streaming at AshevilleFM from 3am EST on September 16th through 22nd, 2019 and podcasting on libsyn.com.

Support Jeremy Hammond!

This week we are presenting two segments, first up is an interview done by Cypress – a new member of The Final Straw collective! – with Grace (they/them pronouns), who is doing support for anarchist prisoner Jeremy Hammond. From his support website, Hammond is “currently spending a decade in prison for allegedly disclosing information about the private intelligence firm (…) Stratfor, revealing that they had been spying on human rights defenders at the behest of corporations and governments. WikiLeaks published these files in partnership with 29 media organizations worldwide as the Global Intelligence Files.”

Grace talks about Hammond’s case and repressions he has been facing in prison, and also about resisting a summons for a grand jury and what support could look like for him given the uncertainties of his case at the moment, plus many more topics!

Shane McDonnell on Re-claiming Nietzsche

Second up, we have a talk by Shane McDonnell who is a vegan, political activist and supporter of the Workers Solidarity Movement from the Republic of Ireland. Shane gave this presentation, entitled “Friedrich Nietzsche: Emma Goldman’s Honorary Anarchist & My Desire to Reclaim Him from the Right” at the 2019 North American Anarchist Studies Network Conference in Atlanta, GA.

. … . ..

>>> Regarding this week’s segment from anarchist prisoner, Sean Swain: Sean’s commentary today discusses his claim to the Organization of American States, filed in 2012. Sean was unaware of the OAS’s response until he was moved to Virginia where the mail-rooms no longer blocked this attempted correspondence. Sean’s recorded testimony is up at SeanSwain.org. Content warning, Sean discusses sexual violence he suffered at the hands of Ohio officials.
