It's a disappointing when a radical leftist anti-imperialist blogger whose House of the Dragon and Free Palestine posts you have previously liked and reblogged recommends The Gray Zone as a legitimate Marxist & anti-imperialist think tank and then you check out their profile and find out they identify as "tankie". 🤡🤡

For the uninitiated, The Gray Zone has been criticized for promoting anti-vax conspiracy theories and it's founder and editor Max Blumenthal is an Assad apologist:

Then, there's also how Blumenthal and his wife Anya Parampil, who also writes for The Gray Zone, have been cozying up to far-right figures like Jackson Hinkle, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson. Parampil has also made transphobic statements and both husband and wife have defended Russell Brand from sexual assault allegations:

Are these your marxist/anti-imperialist kings??

＊先日、「全国心臓病の子どもを守る会」（守る会）機関誌に寄稿した内容を要約して紹介します

▲先日、「全国心臓病の子どもを守る会」（守る会）機関誌に「就労系障害福祉サービス制度の現状と課題（福祉的就労、就労継続Ａ型・B型中心に）」という文章を寄稿しました。自立支援法施行以降、一番改正の多かったと言える分野。歩みや現状を見つめる機会となりました

▲Ａ型・B型とも「働く」ことを支える事業ですが、雇用契約の有無・年齢による利用可否・平均工賃の違い等があります、今年度報酬改定で共に大きな影響を受け、特にＡ型では「障害者５０００人が解雇や退職、事業所報酬下げで３２９カ所閉鎖」（８／１３・共同）と報道されました

▲きょうされん調査（２０２３年）では７８．６％が相対的貧困（年収１２７万円）以下という生活実態が明らかとなり、同年「守る会」アンケートでも就労（年収）２００万未満が４０．２％でした。年金制度を含む所得保障施策の改善が必要であり、家族依存の脱却にもつながります

▲２０２２年９月の国連障害者権利委員会「総括所見」では、福祉的就労に関する厳しい勧告がありました。指摘に先立ち日本障害フォーラムが３点にわたる見解をまとめましたが、現場から意義や役割をもっと発信していく必要があると感じています。支援の内容が問われています

▲守る会機関誌では、当事者の声が多数紹介されていました。何よりも本人の希望が反映され、働くことを通じて豊かな人生が実現していくことが大事だと思います。そのことを更に深めるために、今日から２日間「第４８回きょうされん全国大会ｉｎ滋賀」に参加します。楽しみです

MerleFest draws 75,000

MerleFest,    presented by Window World, has officially come to a close, but not without    a number of electric collaborations, spontaneous sit-ins, and world-class    performances. 

Wynonna &    The Big Noise, Amos Lee, Tyler Childers, Sam Bush Band, Brandi Carlile, and The Avett Brothers all brought    extra MerleFest energy to the Watson Stage, marking another successful year    for the long-running festival.

Early estimates    show that from its start on Thursday, April 25, to its close on Sunday,    April 28, participation over the festival’s four days exceeded 75,000    attendees and artists from across the world.

MerleFest, held    on the campus of Wilkes     Community College, is    the primary fundraiser for the WCC Foundation, which funds scholarships,    capital projects, and other educational needs.

“We’ve had an incredible weekend,”    Festival Director Ted Hagaman said. “With over 100 artists on 13 stages    over the four days, we again feel we succeeded in providing a quality and    successful event for all involved. Preliminary numbers show we attracted    thousands of fans from all over the world. We appreciate their support.    This event could not happen without the work and dedication of our    4,500-plus volunteers and the many great safety and service agencies in Northwestern North Carolina. We’re already looking    forward to MerleFest 2020.”

Thursday

Chatham    County Line kicked off the 32nd annual    MerleFest with a big “newgrass” bang. At the top of their game,    Raleigh-based Chatham County Line appeared right at home on one of the    biggest stages their home state has to offer. After Thursday’s    sunset, Wynonna Judd and her band, The Big Noise, set    about conjuring up enough rock and roll, blues, and country juju to knock    the first-day crowd right off their feet. Once the crowd had recovered, the    ones left with enough energy to carry on into the wee hours were treated    with more electric boogie music in the form of Donna The Buffalo.    Sporting dancey rhythms and electric improvisation, Donna proved to be the    ultimate weekend ice-breakers, encouraging the late night crowd to let    loose during their First Night Dance on the Bojangles’ Dance Stage. 

Friday

Before the    sun had set on Friday, patrons were treated to show-stopping sets from the    likes of Texas    troubadour Radney Foster, Boston-based bluegrassers Mile    Twelve, and the soft folk harmonies and humorous musings of The    Milk Carton Kids. Upon the close of the Chris Austin Songwriting    Competition, festival first-timer Amos Lee took the Watson    Stage with his unique blend of soulful Americana.Tyler Childers closed    out the Watson Stage with his now famous concoction of mountain music, old    school country, and 1960s The Band-ish rock and roll. Under the bright    stage lights, Childers rollicked through songs off of his award-winning 2017    album “Purgatory” to the delight of fans, some of whom had traveled to    MerleFest on Childers’ merit alone. During Childers’ set, eclectic folk    rockers Scythian set up in the Dance Tent for their second set of the day,    the annual Friday Night Dance. Keeping the night owls rocking until almost    midnight, Scythian reminded fans just how fun their music can    be. 

Saturday

Saturday    saw Chris Austin Songwriting Competition winners perform    on the Cabin Stage to an audience eager to hear these up-and-coming songwriters    before they’ve hit the big time. Now in its 27th year, the contest is an    extraordinary opportunity for aspiring writers to have their original songs    heard and judged by a panel of music industry professionals (Joey Ryan and    Kenneth Pattengale, better known as The Milk Carton Kids, Cruz    Contreras of The Black Lillies, and Texas-troubadour Radney    Foster), under the direction of volunteer contest chairperson, Grammy    Award-winning singer/songwriter Jim Lauderdale.

The first    round of the CASC took place in Nashville,     Tenn., and was narrowed down    from 970 entries to 12 finalists representing four categories: bluegrass,    country, general and Gospel/inspirational.

Each of the    12 finalists received admission and lodging for three nights at MerleFest.    Finalists attended a workshop Friday morning given by D’Addario prior to    the finals. After the contest, all finalists took part in a songwriting    mentoring session with Jim Lauderdale and the on-site judges. The    first-place winners in each category received $600 cash from MerleFest, a    performance at the Cabin Stage on Friday night, and a 20-minute set on    Saturday at the Cabin Stage. In addition, the first-place winners    received a live performance/recording session with Saloon Studios Live,    D’Addario strings, Shubb Capos, and their winning song will be aired on    WNCW 88.7. Net proceeds from the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest help    support the Wilkes Community College Chris Austin Memorial Scholarship. See    below for a complete listing of winners and finalists.

Bluegrass:

1st Place- Anya Hinkle (Asheville) – “Ballad of Zona Abston”

2nd Place-    James E. Woolsey (Petersburg, Ind.), David Foster (Petersburg, Ind.)    – “Sugar Ridge Road”

3rd Place-    Wyatt Espalin (Hiawassee,     Ga.) – “Light Coming Through”

Country:

1st Place-    Andrew Millsaps (Ararat) – “Ain’t No Genie (In a Bottle of Jack)

2nd Place-    Hannah Kaminer (Asheville)    – “Don’t Open Your Heart”

3rd Place- Shannon Wurst (Fayetteville,     Ark.) – “Better Than Bourbon”

General:

1st Place-    Alexa Rose (Asheville)    – “Medicine for Living”

2nd Place-    Bryan Elijah Smith (Dayton,     Va.) – “In Through the Dark”

3rd Place-    Wright Gatewood (Chicago,     Ill.) – “First”

Gospel/inspirational:

1st Place-    Russ Parrish (Burnsville, Minn.),    Topher King (Savage, Minn.)    – “Washed By The Water”

2nd Place- Ashleigh    Caudill (Nashville, Tenn.),    Jon Weisberger (Cottontown,     Tenn.) – “Walkin’ Into    Gloryland”

3rd Place-    Kevin T. Hale- (Brentwood,     Tenn.) – “We All Die to Live    Again”

On    Saturday, Molly Tuttle returned to the MerleFest stage for    the first time since she won the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition in    2012. A rabid crowd ate up every guitar lick and melody Tuttle played as    she continues to push the envelope of what can be played on a dreadnaught    guitar. The Waybacks’ annual Hillside Album Hour found the    bay-area band covering Led Zeppelin IV in    its entirety with Sarah Dugas (formerly of The Duhks) handling most of the    vocal duties and Sam Bush, Jens Kruger, Red Young, and Tony Williamson    backing them up for yet another memorable Saturday afternoon set. Sam    Bush Band lit up the Watson Stage ahead of Brandi Carlile, running    through his career-spanning catalog of “New Grass” tunes and closing with    his new rousing rock and roll anthem, “Stop The Violence”. Traditional Bluegrass super group Earls of Leicester once    again paid excellent homage to the giants of the genre, Lester Flatt and    Earl Scruggs. In an era of progression for the genre, the Earls brand of    picking reminded the crowd that it’s perfectly OK to stick with tradition    from time to time. Brandi Carlile and her band closed out    Saturday with her signature songwriting style and vocal fireworks. Drawing    from her newest release, “By The Way, I Forgive You,” and then diving    deeper into her past works, Carlile and longtime musical partners Tim and    Phil Hanseroth belted and whispered in close three-part harmonies well    enough to make every last MerleFest attendee’s jaw drop. To close out    an already special night, Sunday headliners Seth and Scott Avett of    The Avett Brothers joined Carlile around a single mic at the front edge of    the Watson Stage and performed the Avett’s “Murder In The City”,    drawing a huge reaction from the already stunned crowd.

Sunday

North    Carolina Governor Roy Cooper introduced Steep    Canyon Rangers Sunday afternoon on the Watson Stage. Late last    year, Gov. Cooper declared 2019 to be North Carolina’s    “Year of Music”, adding, “from bluegrass to the blues, from gospel to funk,    from beach music to indie and hip hop, North Carolina is the birthplace of many    musical styles and iconic performers.” Gov. Cooper was in attendance    for Steep Canyon Rangers’ “North Carolina Songbook” set on the Watson Stage    which dove into the rich history of the region’s music, specifically the    musical heritage of their—and the festival’s—home state, and solidified their    place in MerleFest lore. Bluegrass    patriarch and hair-style pioneer Del McCoury celebrated his 80th birthday    surrounded by friends, family, and the Del McCoury Band. Del and the boys    fired up the Hillside Stage, highlighting his eight-decade milestone with    class and style that only the McCourys can provide. North Carolina’s own The Avett    Brothers closed out the festival after having joined their father,    Jim Avett, for Sunday’s annual Gospel Hour. On the Watson Stage,    gladly playing tunes that spanned their almost-two-decade long career, The    Avett Brothers had the crowd singing along from the very first line. While    many MerleFest patrons have seen the Avetts at the festival before, this    performance proved that the brothers and their band have now truly transcended    to the next level of much-deserved stardom.

MerleFest, honoring its locale, has programmed over 40    artists who currently call North      Carolina home, each artist representing a    different aspect of the state’s great musical history. Come Hear NC was    designed to celebrate North Carolinians’ groundbreaking contributions to    many of America’s most important musical genres — blues, bluegrass, jazz,    country, gospel, Americana, rock and everything in-between. It’s fitting    then, with 2019 as “The Year of Music,” that the Steep Canyon Rangers, also    proud North Carolinians, would debut their    North Carolina Songbook set at MerleFest.

Anya Hinkle – Oceania This North Carolina singer-songwriter has an engagingly smooth-toned classic vocal with an album that appears to be pop tunes but isn’t. She’s the real thing, like Mimi Farina or early, early Marianne Faithful (“Wild Mountain Tyme” era) – folky, melodic with a smoky Joni Mitchell radiance & with rich traditional instincts. Her opener “Bound Away,” is breezy as a cool rain…

Dehlia Low – Ravens & Crows

“The five piece outfit features Anya Hinkle on fiddle, Stacy Claude on guitar, Greg Stiglets on bass, Aaron Ballance on resonator guitar and Bryan Clendenin. Hinkle, Claude and Stiglets all take turns carrying lead vocals, each with a distinctive style. It was once widely believed that only a single lead singer could give an act the sort of unmistakable identity required for success, something than a number of newer artists seek to turn on its head.”

Released on: 2021-07-16 Main Artist: Anya Hinkle

Studio Personnel: Clay Miller Composer: Richard B. Morris Lyricist: Richard B. Morris Music Publisher: Rich Mountain Bound Music / BMI

RB Morris performs "That's How Every Empire Falls" from his 2012 album 'Spies, Lies & Burning Eyes' live in studio at WNRN. Covered by the likes of John Prine and Marianne Faithful

"That's How Every Empire Falls"

He caught a train from Alexandria, just a broken man in flight Runnin' scared with his devils, sayin' prayers all through the night But mercy can't find him, not in the shadows where he calls Forsaking all his better angels, that's how every empire falls The bells ring out on Sunday morning like echoes from another time All our innocence and yearning and sense of wonder left behind Oh gentle hearts remember, What was that story? Is it lost? For when religion loses vision, that's how every empire falls He toasts his wife and all his family, the providence he brought to bear They raise their glasses in his honor although this union they don't share A man who lives among them was still a stranger to them all For when the heart is never open, that's how every empire falls Padlock the door and board the windows, put the people in the street "It's just my job," he says, "I'm sorry," and draws a check, goes home to eat At night he tells his woman, "I know I hide behind the laws" She says, "You're only taking orders", that's how every empire falls A bitter wind blows through the country, a hard rain falls on the sea If terror comes without a warning, there must be something we don't see What fire begets this fire, like torches thrown into the straw? If no one asks, then no one answers, that's how every empire falls
