Orjafirmat

Kansainvälisten ihmisoikeusjärjestöjen määritelmän mukaan orjuus on mm. työtä josta ei voi kieltäytyä tai työtä josta ei saa riittävää toimeentuloa. Suomessa nykyajan orjuus on nykyisen ja aikaisempien hallitusten toimesta laillistettu palkattoman työharjoittelun muotoon.

Kenen mielestä on olemassa työtä josta ei tarvitse maksaa palkkaa?

Palkattomaan työhön ei ole olemassa mitään perustetta. Palkan suuruuden kuuluu toki vaihdella osaamisen, kokemuksen ja työtehtävien mukaan, mutta palkaton työ jonka arvo työnantajalle on enemmän kuin 0 eur / kk, on kaiken mittapuun mukaan perustuslaissa ja kansainvälisessä oikeudessa kiellettyä orjuutta.

Tutustukaa ”Orjafirmat” Facebook sivustoon jossa kerätään tietoja Suomessa orjuutta kannattavista ja orjuuteen myötämielisesti suhtautuvista yrityksistä.

ClandesTime 100 – Sex, Violence and Censorship

http://www.spyculture.com/clandestime-100-sex-violence-censorship/

Why do we censor films?  Intuitively we all know the answer to this question – because there are some things we don’t want to see on the screen.  In this episode we examine film censorship, focusing primarily on the treatment of cinematic violence by the MPAA and BBFC.  Using Walter Benjamin’s Critique of Violence as a foundation I discuss how societies are attempts to rationalise violence and determine what are legitimate and illegitimate uses of force.  We then look at how censorship does not do much to limit the scale or type of violence shown on screen, but instead prevents the depiction of the consequences of violence, the suffering and pain, before talking about how this kind of censorship influences our views of real-world violence, especially that committed by the state.

The Dangerous History Podcast Ep. 0031: Uncle Sam vs. Democracy Part 1: Operation Ajax / Ep. 0032: Uncle Sam vs Democracy, Part 2: Operation PB Success

Ep. 0031: Uncle Sam vs. Democracy Part 1: Operation Ajax

In this episode and the next, we’re going to look at two instances in the early Cold War of American-sponsored and -instigated overthrows of democratically elected governments, and their replacement by unpopular, USA-backed dictatorships.  Of course, I’m talking about Iran and Guatemala in the early-1950s.  This episode will set the context and cover Iran.  Next time we’ll cover Guatemala and consequences of these sorts of operations.
Join Prof CJ as he discusses:
  • A quick sketch of the Dulles Brothers (John Foster & Allen) who played such key roles in these sorts of operations in the 1950s
  • A look at the historical context (ie, early Cold War)
  • A sketch of Iranian PM Mohammed Mossadegh, and why the Dulles Bros (and the corporate interests they served) wanted him overthrown
  • How the CIA overthrew Mossadegh and replaced him with Shah Reza Pahlavi
  • The aftermath of this operation and its legacy, which is still being felt today

Ep. 0032: Uncle Sam vs Democracy, Part 2: Operation PB Success

Encouraged by their success against Iran’s democratic government (covered in last episode), the Dulles Brothers’ next move was against the small central American country of Guatemala, where a left-of-center government appeared to be threatening the interests of the United Fruit Company.
Join Prof CJ as he discusses:
  • The immediate backstory on Guatemala, including the dominance of American corporations over the country, its democratic revolution in 1944 and the election of Jacobo Arbenz Guzman to the presidency in 1951
  • The Arbenz government’s Decree 900, aimed at redistributing unused land to poor peasants
  • The CIA’s Operation PB Success, a largely psychological campaign that succeeded in overthrowing Arbenz in June 1954
  • How the CIA itself, after ousting Arbenz, failed to find any real evidence that Arbenz was in league with the Soviets
  • The brutal aftermath of this coup, which caused suffering and oppression in Guatemala for decades and killed over 200,000 people
  • A brief thought experiment of how Americans might respond if they were put in an analogous situation
  • Some discussion of the concept known as “blowback”
