Yemen & Urine: Episode 24, January 18th 2012

meaninglesswords@live.com (Pamela Taylor and Justin Jackson) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:39:00 +0000

An Australian and a Californian discuss WikiLeaks for your infotainment. Today we were joined by Vietnam Veteran Edward Dyer, and Musician Christopher Sisk. We discussed the incident caught on film of the USA Soldiers urinating on the dead bodies in Afghanistan, and whether or not artificial soldiers would be any better, and Edward provided a soldiers' perspective. We discussed war video games, post traumatic stress disorder, the high rate of suicide in war veterans, and the peril of reporting the truth of what happens on the ground during war. Fox "News" came up during that conversation. We then looked at Al Qaeda presence in Yemen, following on from last weeks' discussion about the NDAA passing, where one of the reasons for it was because, until this bill passed, the US citizen who was vocal about traveling to Yemen to seek out terrorist training could not be picked up for it, but now he could be, hopefully before he shoots up a bunch of people in a mall. Cables discussed specifically were #09SANAA1963 and #10SANAA317. We also looked at the SOPA/PIPA protest that was taking place today, and Christopher provided a musicians' perspective. Pamela sang a little bit too....sorry about that!! Finally we discussed Playboy and Hugh Hefner as an activist, and how scary it is that television shows about murder are a dime a dozen, but a wee bit of nipple has to be shown after 9pm. http://www.meaninglesswords.org/resources/mw%20ep24.mp3

Cablegate: Anniversary! & Occupy, Assange extradition, & proposed NDAA bill

meaninglesswords@live.com (Pamela Taylor and Justin Jackson) — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 13:00:00 +0000

An Australian and a Californian discuss Wikileaks for your infotainment. This week we looked at cable #09STATE23141 which touched on the relocation of Iraq scientists who were forced into their WMD program. Whether they were unsuccessful intentionally or not is to be determined. We are following up with the scientist from this cable to try and interview him, if indeed he did end up in Australia after several failed attempts to acquire a visa. But first we looked at the incident at Occupy UC Davis with the "Pepper Spray Cop." Also, we celebrate one year since the diplomatic cables were first released by WikiLeaks, and Julian Assanges' upcoming verdict. AND we talked about the proposed bill to the NDAA stating that the US Military can hold civilians indefinitely..... http://www.mediafire.com/file/ab24l47j5a70t9k/Meaningless%20Words%20Episode%2022.mp3

BAN POLICE USE OF NON LETHAL WEAPONS

This is an excerpt from Episode 6, May 2011, which was before we made this show into a podcast (the full episode and much more can be found at www.meaninglesswords.org) but we thought that with all of the police brutality taking place since the Occupy Movement began, it was worth putting out a mini-podcast of this particular speech. Thanks for listening! http://www.meaninglesswords.org/resources/Non%20Lethal%20Weapons%20Rant%20from%20Meaningless%20Words%20E06%20May%202011%20(before%20Occupy%20existed).mp3

Blow Whistles & Occupy with Special Guests Jimmy Massey & Sandra Peevers!

meaninglesswords@live.com (Pamela Taylor and Justin Jackson) — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 05:48:00 +0000

An Australian and a Californian discuss WikiLeaks for your infotainment. The best thing about this job is that I have the opportunity to speak to real revolutionaries like Jimmy Massey, who has made the world a better place by just having the guts to speak the truth. He was the original whistleblower from the latest Iraq War (how sad is it that we have to specify which war?) and let the world know that civilians were being murdered in Iraq, not just enemy combatants. He received criticism for this for years, until the Iraq War Logs released by Wikileaks Cablegate last year backed up everything Jimmy had said was true. On top of that, he's a humble and "regular" guy who was willing to share his story with us, along with new insights into life after whistleblowing. We were also joined by Sandra Peevers from RevolutionTruth & Occupy Otsego, whose valuable insights into the Occupy Movement apply to all occupiers, so listen up! Thanks once again Jimmy and Sandy, and you are both welcome back anytime :) Please keep us updated on your pursuit for truth, transparency, and democracy. After these interviews, we looked at cable #03KUWAIT1381... http://www.mediafire.com/file/ijb01o5hc0gvh63/Meaningless%20Words%20with%20Special%20Guests%20Jimmy%20Massey%20and%20Sandra%20Peevers,%20a%20Whistleblower%20and%20an%20Occupier,%20Episode%2021%20Recorded%20November%2014th%202011.mp3

EPISODE 17, RECORDED OCTOBER 11TH 2011 WITH SPECIAL GUEST TANGERINE BOLEN, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF REVOLUTION TRUTH www.revolutiontruth.org An Australian and a Californian discuss Wikileaks for your infotainment. This week we looked at the cable #03HAGUE2298 which was a survey conducted by the ambassador in The Netherlands, where the USG endeavoured to determine where anti-American groups may be, prior to the war in Iraq. We're interested in finding more cables with this survey, to see how these answers were answered in other countries, and they can be found with the description Response to Security Environment Profile Questionnaire - SEPQ. But first, we discussed current related events with Ms. Bolen, and the upcoming panel that RevolutionTruth is hosting on October 26th at 9am PST (US Pacific Time). So tell us - after listening to this, how will you be voting? Or will you be voting?

Cablegate: China hoards gold then the leak at Wikileaks

EPISODE 16 Recorded September 6th and 16th 2011 An Australian and a Californian discuss Wikileaks for your infotainment. This week we looked at the leak at Wikileaks, which involved a series of errors leading to the unredacted and complete Cablegate dump of over a quarter of a million cables. We also looked at Chinas' up and coming economy again, and what it means for the economies of the USA and Australia, and at Libya and Japan. We looked at the situation in Syria, and at what Amnesty International are doing to help civilians there. http://www.mediafire.com/file/wjvqahqwksz9qb3/Meaningless%20Words%20Episode%2016%2C%20recorded%20September%206th%20%26%2016th%2C%202011.mp3

Cablegate: Human Trafficking

meaninglesswords@live.com (Pamela Taylor and Justin Jackson) — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 14:31:00 +0000

EPISODE 15 Recorded August 23rd 2011 An Australian and a Californian discuss Wikileaks for your infotainment. In this episode we addressed the cable #03HANOI2323 which was about the USG's concern with the amount of human and narcotics trafficking making its way from Vietnam to the United States. Vietnam wanted help to stop the trafficking of humans, but denied that there was a narcotics trafficking problem. It was interesting to see the USG concerned with human trafficking here when it went hand in hand with narcotics trafficking, and with both finding their way to the USA and causing problems there, and yet in cable #09NAPLES69 which we examined in episode 2 of Meaningless Words, the USG had absolutely no problem with putting an ambassador in charge of negotiating on their behalf in Italy, even though said ambassador was known for trafficking humans prior to this.... http://www.mediafire.com/file/1g48rd3d91llqlh/Meaningless%20Words%20Episode%2015%2C%20recorded%20August%2023rd%202011.mp3

EPISODE 13 Recorded August 9th 2011 An Australian and a Californian discuss Wikileaks for your infotainment. Today we examined cable #07GUATEMALA2172 for the first half of this episode, where a Banana industry union leader was murdered, and we look at the blood shed in 3rd and 2nd world nations so that those in 1st world nations can each their daily requirement of potassium and sodium safely and easily. During the second half we examined some movies that we have both seen over the last few years and put them under the microscope, really thinking about them critically rather than just sitting back and taking them in. We realised by the end of this episode that ALL media must be viewed with critical analysis - QUESTION EVERYTHING, or be a sheep rather than a person. http://www.mediafire.com/file/nrj2ybp1ncfwde8/Meaningless%20Words%20Episode%2013%2C%20recorded%20August%209th%202011.mp3
