Independent journalist Chris Hedges speaks before the Independent Journalist Association

Mainstream media’s presentation of the news concerning the war on Gaza has lacked context from the beginning. To most, it began on October 7th with attack by Hamas on several Israeli targets. But what is largely ignored in the analysis of Israel's ongoing unilateral slaughter of Palestinians (NOT a "war") is the historic Israeli military occupation of Palestine and siege of Gaza. Chris Hedges has covered a multitude of wars all over the globe, and seeks to fill the void with context that helps us understand what is really happening in Palestine, not only Gaza, but also the West Bank where Palestinian deaths have increased dramatically.

The Unsustainable Green Transition - Simon Michaux

When I found this conversation and decided to re-broadcast I was intrigued by Simon Michaux’s rare expertise in mining - and by the premise that we can’t go green without going small. Our fossil fueled economy is destabilizing the planet. But a renewable economy as it is designed now makes unsustainable demands on minerals and materials of this earth. Simon Michaux is an associate professor at the geological survey of Finland. He is a problem solver in the mining industry and now the industrial recycling industry. Most of his current scientific papers deal with the tasks to completely phase out fossil fuels in Finland. Credit and thanks to Rachel Donald - host of PlanetCritical, lecturer and climate corruption reporter. You can watch the 90 minute film of this interview on YouTube under the title: The Unsustainable Green Transition | Simon Michaux www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwmygkdoGgc DATE: April 19, 2023 LOCATION: Internet

Lauren Kim: Young Evangelicals for Climate Action

A study from 2022 found that people who identified as non-religious or atheist were more likely to identify as pro-environment, as compared with religious people who tended to be "less committed to the environment.” Many of us environmentalists may not look to churches as natural sites for allies. But perhaps we should look a little closer. This week on Sea Change Radio, we are speaking with Lauren Kim, an evangelical Christian and recent college graduate, who volunteers for an organization called YECA - Young Evangelical Christians for Climate Action. We talk about the mission of her organization, learn about a faith-based form of environmentalism known as "creation care," and discuss a new generation of evangelicals converting their brethren to help protect the planet.

Sister Elizabeth is a pillar in the Downtown Eastside where she tirelessly gives of her time and continues to be a source of inspiration for many, many people. She operates a soup kitchen that feeds between 300 and 500 of the citys most poverty stricken each day. It is estimated that there are over 10,000 homeless people in BC , of which 32 percent are aboriginal, and amongst women, 50 percent. A homeless person dies every 12 days in B.C. Conservative Estimates put the national homeless numbers at close to 300,000.

Scott Ritter, former US Marine Intelligence officer and UN Weapons Inspector, gives his interesting military perspective on the war on Gaza

How prepared is the Israeli military to conduct a ground war and achieve the goal of eliminating Hamas as they have promised to do? What are the strategy and interests of the US as we enter a new phase of Israel-Palestine? Ritter speaks with knowledge of middle East history and politics, and has much experience in the area. He notes Israel's war crimes, but does NOT talk about the morality of Israel's genocide against the unarmed population of its occupied territory.
