From "Free Speech Radio News": "A new investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism in the UK has found that several US drone strikes in Pakistan deliberately targeted rescuers, by striking a location once, then striking it again minutes later when people came to care for the dead and wounded. The findings are based on interviews with eyewitnesses and data from Pakistani and international human rights groups. The revelations come the same week US officials are meeting with the leaders of the countries losing the most civilians to drone strikes: Pakistan and Yemen, to determine the future of so called counterterrorism collaboration with those nations. In Washington, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein reports.

Radia Show 435 from Radio Zero, Lisbon, Portugal. "Clouds N 38 42.53, W 9 8.96 27-12-12 Pedro Lagoa – laptop, 6DE, André Avelãs – electronics. (rehearsal for the When I Look at the Clouds I See Clouds [nimbostratus] performance that took place at Galeria Boavista, Lisbon, 28th Dec. 2012) Taking as a starting point the intention of deconstructing the video [a cut through the] archive of destruction, this performance combines real time sound improvisation with a random video projection. Elements of the video [a cut through the] archive of destruction were reduced to small segments which were divided into text and image video clips, to be played randomly from two separate sources projected on top of each other, and thus superimposing text on the video images. This way, the relation text/image is determined by pure chance, destroying not only the line of thought that presided at the narrative structure of the original video – with its calculated collages, sequences and juxtapositions of image-sound-text of different proveniences – but also originating new and unpredictable image-text relations. The sound of the original video segments was also split into small segments and loops, being subsequently reworked and transformed live during the performance. As images succeed each other in the projection, the performers try to respond to the random image-text combinations, through improvisation. - [a cut through the] archive of destruction is a video, of variable duration, that is part of the Educational Service of the archive of destruction, and consists of collage and editing of diverse materials which can be found in its collection. Through subjective associative lines, it performs a cut, in the geological sense, through some of the main ideas contained in the archive. The video has been presented as part of installations of the archive of destruction and in a similar way to the archive, it develops in a process of continuous change and re-editing, never having the same cut of the video been presented twice. - The archive of destruction is an evolving structure, with no fixed address, dedicated to the collection of documents on actions and ideas that represent a negation of its basic function, which is the preservation of memory. The archive has been developing in a continuous and organic way, in a movement of expansion that stretches to the most diverse areas – within well defined guidelines – where ideas or actions of destruction can be found.

It begins: "I tried to speak from the Havana of the mind and found myself an impossible refugee in the anachronistic wastelands of Passaic New Jersey, a place in a book where I have not been physically either. But that is precisely the matter because despite all of one's efforts it seems that one always writes this from where one is not, a place in the almost more than maybe, at a distance a glass thick from the here and definitely one duration in anticipation of the now. For convenience, let's pretend this is proper English. And yet, later on I might need to say what time it is in our program. By the way, did I forget to say good evening, dear listeners?"

More revelations about the surveillance carried out by the US government show that authorities have used information gathered through tools for monitoring national security threats in order to bring criminal charges against US citizens. Documents obtained by Reuters say agents with the Drug Enforcement Agency’s Special Operations Division were ordered to hide where that information came from when they used it to arrest people on drug charges and try them in court. As lawmakers and activists demand more information about this and other ways the government monitors people domestically and internationally, the Pentagon will begin an audit this week to determine whether it keeps too much data classified. In Washington, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein reports.

Stingers are short, interstitial sound files, in this case assembled in an hour-long collage.

Weekly international radio and media news show.

Dan Seward and the "Battlefield Earth" program transmits live from Wave Farm in Acra, NY.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "On- and offline, women across the globe regularly contend with sexism, misogyny and threats of violence. Bomb threats made via Twitter to a number of female journalists and historian Mary Beard prompted a protest over the weekend. Some boycotted the social media site, others used the hashtag #twittersilence, to pressure Twitter executives to deal with the issue. Another high profile target was this year’s women’s Wimbledon champion, Marion Bartoli. The French tennis star, only the 6th female to win the tournament without dropping a set, faced a barrage of sexist, even violent vitriol on twitter. And countless other women, from teens to technology experts to activists experience hostility, sexism and ignorance on the web. But over the past year women have been using social media to fight back. FSRN’s Cinnamon Nippard has more from Berlin."

Dan Seward may stick around Wave Farm after his "Battlefield Earth" program for a little radio stew.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "In the sentencing phase of the court martial for Army Private Bradley Manning, the military judge has granted two motions filed by Manning’s lawyer, which brings the maximum possible sentence down from 136 years to 90 years. The judge denied several other motions to combine charges, which could have further reduced the number of years Manning could spend in prison. He was convicted of multiple offenses last month in connection with leaking military and government documents to Wikileaks. As the hearing continues today, legal experts and advocates are preparing to appeal what is likely to be a lengthy sentence, arguing that Manning’s constitutional rights were violated, and the government has failed to prove the leaked material damaged the US. In Washington, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein has more."

That includes not only monitoring those who talk to suspicious persons abroad, but also those who talk about them. In Washington, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein reports."

Pitchfork says… “There’s been no shortage of endearingly sloppy, blues-inflected garage rock in recent years, but Brattleboro, Vt.’s Happy Jawbone Family Band uses the template to create its own mythical world. Since 2009, the band has remained blissfully off-grid, recording hundreds of songs over several tapes and full-lengths for similarly homegrown labels like Spooky Town Artifacts, Feeding Tube, and Night People, which makes their next release feel like a move into the spotlight: it’s being recorded with Jarvis Taverniere of Woods, and is set for release on Mexican Summer later this year. For context, the label is prepping for the forthcoming LP with this retrospective compilation, which might seem premature if the songs weren’t so strong.”
