Tajuan LaBee is the PepperSpray Collective's newest member, and he lost no time finishing his first piece for PepperSpray, which is the lead segment in this week's "Indymedia Presents." He was on hand at Seattle Central Community College when student activists recently staged a counter-recruiting action. His footage forms the basis for "Recrui-ducation." Stopping the flow of recruits into the military remains and will continue to be an important political and practical tactic in limiting US efforts to wage aggressive wars. Beyond that, it has the potential to save the lives of those who otherwise might be recruited. A few years back, students at SCCC made national headlines when they ran recruiters off their campus. Apparently the military thought this might be the time to sneak back on campus. The recruiters were met with a spirited action, and Tajuan got it on tape. With the airing of his first PepperSpray production, we publicly welcome Tajuan into our merry band. We dipped into the archives to follow Tajuan's piece with our short "Judas Goat." A judas Goat is a trained slaughterhouse animal that leads the others to their death, only to be spared the knife itself, so it may lead herd after herd into the killing chambers. Recruiters perform a similar function. So long as they can deliver a supply of fresh recruits for the front lines, military recruiters don't have to go themselves. Next up, we turn to a bit of music that continues the theme, featuring Seattle's daring duo, Rebel Voices, singing "Put your name on a different line." This material was filmed live in Seattle in 2008 and was edited into this piece to accompany Tajuan's "Recrui-ducation. Rounding out our show we are VERY pleased to include Episode 1 of Franklyn Lopez's third season of "It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine."
