October 19th, 2006 Edition of SJTV

On todays Episode of SJTV we will hear from investigative reporter Greg Palast on Iraq, Voter Fraud and Blood For Oil and how the vote was not only stolen in 2004 but how the Republican party plans to steal more votes in the 2008 elections.

We will also see a video clip of a Security Demonstration conducted by Princeton University showing how Diebold Eletronic voting machines currently in use in most parts of the country can be hacked and infected with software that is designed to steal votes.

Before that we will start out with a video from Hip Hop Artist Talam Acey called True Lies!

A taste of the upcoming GNN doc, American Blackout
If GNN produced 60 Minutes, Taalam Acey would be our Andy Rooney.
A true guerrilla collaboration to give audiences a taste of what to expect from the soon to be released documentary, American Blackout directed by GNN’s Ian Inaba. Set to premiere at Sundance 2006 the feature length film follows the career of Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and investigates the current tactics used to control our democratic process and silence political dissent. This piece originally inspired by the book of the same name, features Taalam Acey’s ever potent prose deftly matched by the animation of Haik Hoisington and scored to the music of another GNN ally, The Soulsavers.

Recommended Dosage: 3-4 views as needed. Best results if taken 30 minutes prior to television consumption.

October 12th, 2006 Edition of SJTV

On This weeks episode we document the local World Can't Wait Protest at Seattle's Cal Anderson Park which was part of a larger nationwide series of protests that occured in over 235 cities. http://www.worldcantwait.net/

SJTV was on the scene when Seattle Police instigated an incident with a group of self described anarchists youth. The Police claim they had intercepted intelligence on Seattle indymedia that indicated the "anarchists" were going to use a flag to spark a violent incident. None of this has been substantiaed with any tangile evidence and it is oiur contention that was an an attempt by the local authorities to try and shut down the Rally and Free speech. Three people were arrested and are currently facing charges. The Rally did continue and the protest proceeded to the Federal Building in Downtown Seattle.

Portlands Indy media also reported a similar but much more serious incident of Police attacking the peaceful protesters. See those story links below
