On today's "In the News" roundtable, Brian Becker, Esther Iverem Nicole Roussell and Walter Smolarek discuss where the Biden administration is headed politically and why. In his address to a joint session of Congress last Thursday, Biden appears to have signaled a significant turn towards a program aimed at providing substantial benefits to working people.

In the News: Socialist tactics and Biden's economic program

FULL EPISODE at https://www.patreon.com/empirefiles

With over 100 dead or missing in the US-backed government crackdown, we interview Pablo Simanca, a leading student organizer from Cali, the epicenter of the protest movement facing the worst repression. Learn what these historic protests are about, the details of the fascistic military crackdown, and the role the US Empire plays in facilitating it. 

PLUS: Abby and Mike share their frightening first-hand experiences reporting from Colombia in 2018.

Colombia On Fire w/ Student Leader From Protest Epicenter

On today's "In the News" roundtable, Brian Becker, Esther Iverem, Nicole Roussell and Walter Smolarek discuss Palestinians' general strike today as fierce resistance continues to the increasingly brutal Israeli attack, the possibility that the right-wing Supreme Court will eviscerate the right of women to control their own bodies, the criminal injustice system and another extreme and odious form of racism used to justify police murder, and a left wing victory in the recent Chilean elections.

In the News: Israeli War Crimes Paid for by the USA

Today's episode is the third in a multi-part series that takes an in-depth look at the history of China's foreign policy. We discuss how Chinese foreign policy shifted after the Cultural Revolution. This culminated with China and the U.S. under the Nixon administration forging a new alliance that reshaped global politics. 

Brian is joined by Kenneth Hammond, a Professor of East Asian and Global History at New Mexico State University and an activist with the organization Pivot to Peace.

Disquiet Junto Project 0466: [ ] Sound Machine. The Assignment: What sort of sound does your city make?

I screwed together a few beats and sounds and added a lot of field recordings. So you will hear Munich (summer) sounds all the time, from birds and beergardens to subways and rainy backyards. The cow at the end is not real Munich, but a bit of a bavarian clichee.

Follow me on Bandcamp: https://krakenkraft.bandcamp.com/

I used own field recordings plus these CC0 recordings:

Thanks to them!

Ice cubes fall into a glass.
Recorded with a Tascam DR-100MKII + built-in mics Uni.
The Tascam is placed vertically on the glass, in contact.
A Pure data patch lets you hear the recording transposed to 3 voices  and brings out their harmonic components by spreading out them over time.
At the beginning we hear the untransposed sound.
This is the same Pure data patch as for:
