Voters in California’s 7th Congressional District have a unique race. It features two Democrats – incumbent 10-term establishment Representative Doris Matsui and progressive Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang. Not surprisingly, even though the race has two Democrats, the mudslinging is hot and heavy.

Those of us who use the internet are subject to the words and wisdom, or lack thereof, provided by the people and or machines that upload ideas and content. The democratization of the internet, allowing anyone to post anything is, in the mind of Andrew Keen, our guest of this edition of Radio Curious, creating a “cut-and-paste” on-line culture which threatens copyright protection and intellectual property rights at the expense of those who create original work. Andrew Keen is the author of “The Cult Of The Amateur: How Today’s Internet is Killing Our Culture.” When I spoke with him from his home in Berkeley, in early June 2007 we began with his explanation of the democratization of the internet. The song, film and book recommended by Andrew Keen are the U2 song “Vertigo,” the movie “Vertigo,” by Alfred Hitchcock, and the book “Vertigo,” by W.G. Sebald.

Much was revealed at the UN General Assembly: Lavrov condemned the attack on Venezuela and said Maduro must be freed; Delcy Rodríguez, interim leader of Venezuela thanked Trump for whatever and did not mention Maduro or Chavismo; Trump mused about annihilating Iran and only Avi Lewis (in Canada) condemned him. PM Carney speaking to EU Parliament sounded like a Germanophile and bragged that Canada is a member of JEF, the Joint Expeditionary Force for fast action emergencies in Europe. JEF is led by the UK, and the other few states are from the Baltics. Just like old times, in 1918 Canadians under the Brits went off to fight Bolsheviks (and came home depleted and bitter). Apparently Canada will be the Mutt in JEF. Also: A tribute to Calypso giant, Mighty Sparrow, with guest Ken Stower, the host of Global Rhythms, CIUT.

UK police release five men on bail after airbase security incident Update: Tuesday, 29 September 2026 7:44 AM https://www.presstv.co.uk/Detail/2026/09/29/777240/UK-police-release-five-men-bail-airbase-security-incident Armed police officers work on a road outside the perimeter of the RAF Fairford airbase, in Fairford, Gloucestershire, Britain, September 28, 2026. (Photo by Reuters) British police have released on bail five men arrested near a Royal Air Force base used by the United States, as Washington claimed that a foreign actor may have been involved in the suspected plot. The five men, all London-based Britons in their mid-20s, were arrested after reports of three suspicious white vans near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, southwest England, on Sunday. Counter Terrorism Policing said Monday that the men were released on bail under “stringent” conditions, stressing that the investigation remains ongoing. “This does not mean the investigation is over,” Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, head of Counter Terrorism Policing, said, adding that authorities were examining “every possible angle,” including the possibility that the activity was carried out by proxies or individuals working knowingly or unknowingly on behalf of a foreign state. The men were arrested on suspicion of explosives offences and preparing to commit a terrorist act under UK counter-terrorism legislation. Their vehicles have undergone extensive examination with the assistance of military personnel and forensic experts.
