GR for Monday July 27, 2009
by C. L. Cook
 Summer is perfect for more than languid reflections, lazily spun and warmly wound; it is also the time of hope and revisiting relationships.
Today, two seasoned guests of Gorilla Radio past agreed to repeat. Regurgitating too is the annual celebration of colonial dominion, known colloquially as, "B.C. Day." It was just after that day last year I talked with author, and activist, professor Robert Jensen following a chance encounter with Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper.
And; last week, last month, last year, and for the last ten years Gorilla
Radio has aired, Jon Elmer has brought to us an insider's look at daily
life within the siege of remnant Palestine. Stymied at Egypt's border
crossing with Gaza: (see here)last week, Jon has since passed into the West Bank.
Chris Cook hosts Gorilla Radio, airing live every Monday, 5-6pm
Pacific Time. In Victoria at 101.9FM, 104.3 cable, and on the internet
at: http://cfuv.uvic.ca. He also serves as a contributing editor to
the web news site, www.pacificfreepress.com. Check out the GR blog at:

 Robert Jensen is an author, media critic, and professor of
journalism at the University of Texas at Austin School of Journalism.
His book titles include: 'Getting Off: Pornography and the End of
Masculinity,' 'The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and
White Privilege,' 'Citizens of the Empire: The Struggle to Claim
Our Humanity,' and his latest, 'All My Bones Shake: Seeking a
progressive path to the Prophetic Voice.'

And; Last week, last month, last year, and for the near decade, Gorilla
Radio has aired, Jon Elmer has brought to us an insider's look at daily
life within the siege of remnant Palestine. Stymied at Egypt's border
cross with Gaza: (see here).
I spoke to Jon about the situation of Gazan's caught outside the walls,
with nowhere else to go. This week, unable to pass, after a three week
game of plea and denial, Jon crossed into the West Bank last week.

And; as last year at this time, Victoria Street Newz publisher, CFUV
Radio broadcaster, and Gorilla Radio stalwart, Janine Bandcroft is
again, at this moment, in Cuba with the 20th Pastors for Peace Caravan
to Cuba, a test to the decades-long blockade of that Caribbean island
by the United States and its allies.
That said: All things being equal, though; Janine should be here next week, to bring us up to speed with all the good things to do she got up to doing on her recent epic trip to Cuba and Back!
But first; Robert Jensen, seeking a progressive path to the Prophetic Voice.
