Today on Flashpoints, we continue our drumbeat coverage of the escalating situation in Syria, with our special correspondent in Damascus. Next we go to Lindon, Guyana, where protests continue against the government, following the killing three protestors on July 18th in a weekend military style raid by the police. Then we look at a new report released by ProPublica about the big spendors of dark money during this election cycle. Today also marks the 77th anniversary of the Social Security system in the United States. Finally we feature our regular segment The Biggz Beat on the current state of homophobia in hip-hop.

  • Musicians!!

    We're searching for great new music produced by independent musicians and members of our global audience, so that we can be as non-corporate and copyright-free as possible. All genres -- from blues to electronica to world beats -- welcome!

    We like smart, political and well-produced music -- and are especially in search of possible new theme instrumentals. Please send it to Flashpoints, c/o KPFA, 1929 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Berkeley, CA 94704, or email your Mp3s at flashpointsproducer@gmail.com with full descriptions and credits.
