TWIP-250427

The Killing of Palestinians is the plane of making Gaza uninhabited. Israel, both materially and rhetorically has made their intent to destroy the Palestinian people clear. One of the most renowned and courageous Middle East scholars, Norman Finkelstein, has assiduously documented the Palestinian Plight for decades and he joins host Chris Hedges Report. Finkelstein and Hedges asses the current state of the genocide in Palestine as well as how the media and the universities have all but abandoned their principles in servitude to the Zionist agenda.

Sonic café, it’s the end of the world, Tom MacDonald and John Rich’s cool collaboration on the collapse of our modern world. So ahh welcome, I’m your host Scott Clark and this is episode 432. This time the Sonic Café brings you the end of the world, which should happen around the middle of this century. Our friends over at Cooper Academy lay out all of the theories in a segment coming up shortly. So whether you believe any of the this stuff or not, it gives us a great jumping off point for a music mix pulled from the last 52 years, and as you’ve probably guessed, each tune is about the end of the world. So yeah. Listen for Rockford, Illinois’ Cheap Trick, also from 1972 we’ll spin War, with the World is a Ghetto, plus Elvis Costello, Jesse Malin, the Dave Matthews Band and more including R.E.M. from 1988 with their tune celebrating the end of the world, and for some reason, they’re all just fine with it. So yeah, it’s the end of the world as we know it, this time from that little radio café in the Pacific Northwest that brings you a weekly dose of intelligent, eclectic music and pop culture and this time the end of the world. From 1980’s Zenyatta Mondatta album here’s the Police and we’re the Sonic Café.

Wagner, Sally Roesch — Suffragist, Matilda Gage, Almost Jailed for Voting

This program is about Matilda Joslyn Gage, who lived from 1826 to 1892 and was a vibrant and leading figure in the suffragist movement of that century. Matilda Joslyn Gage, an outspoken leader for women’s rights, and an advocate to abolish slavery and religious bigotry, became historically invisible in pursuit of her liberty to think and speak as she thought proper. She was threatened with jail for voting in New York in 1871, and later was inducted into the Iroquois nation after publicly declaring Christian theology to be a primary source of the oppression of women. Historian and chautauqua scholar Sally Roesch Wagner, who portrays Matilda Joslyn Gage, brought Gage into the limelight by creating the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation, based in Fayetteville, New York. The Gage Foundation is dedicated to educating current and future generations about Gage’s work and the power of her work to drive contemporary social change. I met with Sally Roesch Wagner in the studios of Radio Curious in December 1996. Our conversation began when I welcomed Matilda Joslyn Gage to Radio Curious. The book Matilda Joslyn Gage recommends is “The Secret Doctrine: The Synthesis of Science, Religion and Philosophy,” by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. The book Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner recommends is “Women, Church and State,” by Matilda Joslyn Gage. This program was recorded in December 1996.

Does Hard Work Really Lead to Success? / Reagan’s Racism Tanked U.S. Education

Today we pull from a public World Government Summit lecture offered by professor of political science, Dr. Roy Casagranda discussing the economic history of the Unted States as well as the dismantling of the free/low-cost education system once found in the United States. In the first half of the show, discuss the idea that hard work leads to success. We challenge the idea that a few aligned factors can create a universal pathway to the American dream. We also discuss the systemic barriers and advantages present in society and how certain groups are more likely to encounter these forces. In the second half of the show, we talk about the shift in the United States’ approach to education after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. We discuss how an increase in costs were strategically implemented by conservatives to create barriers for would-be protesters and social dissenters.

Endolith CEO Liz Dennett: Mining Microbes

As with oil and gas, the extraction of minerals and metals from the earth has been a "necessary evil" in the industrialization of humankind. The environmental destruction and human rights abuses of the mining industry are well-documented. This week’s guest on Sea Change Radio runs a company that partners with mining corporations to make the mining itself more resource-efficient. Liz Dennett is the CEO and founder of Endolith, a Colorado-based startup company that uses microbes to improve the efficacy of copper and lithium extraction. We learn about the science behind Endolith’s technology, talk about the environmental impacts and challenges of metal and mineral mining, and discuss whether there’s a moral quandary in doing business with these big, often nefarious, companies.

Our Common Future Under Climate Change, Honoring Pope Francis’ Laudato Si

At 3am today, April 21, 2025, news services in California announced the death of Pope Francis. Among the many memories of his extraordinary life, his Encyclical on Climate Change, Laudato Si, on the urgently needed care of our common home, came to my mind. Only nine days ago Pope Francis had announced the celebration, in September 2025, of the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si. Now we need to create the conditions for peace to prevent the destruction of our home without his help. But Laudato Si has dual roots. Maybe for the first time in the history of papal encyclicals, Pope Francis invited scientists to create the text - foremost among them John Schellnhuber. You will hear precious excerpts from his presentation inside the Vatican on June 17, 2015, at the end of this program. Laudato Si includes statements that not the poor but the wealthy are putting our planet, and ultimately humanity, at risk. DATE: Summer of 2015
