UK’s Gaza spy flights

This week on the show, Britain’s direct involvement in genocide by supplying Israel with realtime military intelligence hits the mainstream media. Investigative journalist Matt Kennard joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Asa Winstanley to explain how a pilot’s transponder that was accidentally left on fed his expose of British spy planes over Gaza. On the Resistance Report, the Electronic Intifada’s contributing editor, Jon Elmer tells us about Israeli tanks caught in a minefield and other coordinated Palestinian resistance operations across Gaza as Israel’s Gideon’s Chariots operation ends in failure. On the newscast, Nora Barrows-Friedman covers Israeli air strikes against the Palestinian Red Crescent Headquarters and a health clinic sheltering displaced Palestinians. And amidst Israel’s systematic policy of forced starvation, air dropped parcels of aid kill starving people in Gaza while the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation abducts civilians seeking food.

Sally Roesch Wagner- "Matilda Joslyn Gage, the Forgotten Suffragist"

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. Radio Curious spoke with Sally Roesch Wagner in December 1996. Our conversation began when I welcomed Matilda Joslyn Gage. The book Matilda Joslyn Gage recommends is “The Secret Doctrine: The Synthesis of Science, Religion and Philosophy,” by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky.

REPEAT - First They Came for the Journalists and the Academics! The Sun Now Setting on Democracy as We Know It.

REPEAT BROADCAST This week, on the Global Research News Hour, concerns are starting to be raised about more and more journalists, activists and even scholars who are having their lives disrupted in the wake of detentions, arrests, and even outright suppression of rights as the cancer of anti-terrorism laws grows to the point of targeting almost anyone who voices concerns as we have on the show about the NATO instigated Ukraine War, opposition to the genocidal campaign waged by Israel and more. This show features an array of guests with dissenting views on foreign policy in Canada and abroad facing such measures and some analysis of what can be done to reverse this trend.

Kevin Young - Lessons from Movements That Won

Kevin Young is a history professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he is active in labor and climate organizing. He spoke at the 2025 Upstate Anarchist Book Fair, held May 3rd and 4th in Binghamton, NY. The event was sponsored and hosted by PM Press: https://pmpress.org How we can muster the political strength to neutralize polluters is one of the most important questions humanity has ever faced. Although the US climate movement is not currently winning, it has achieved important partial victories that illuminate the vulnerabilities of the fossil fuel industry. Kevin Young’s focus is on how the movement has targeted the industry’s enablers, including financial institutions, regulatory agencies, and purchasers of fossil fuels. He argues that the growing resistance to dirty energy projects has jeopardized investor confidence, leading the industry to lash out in increasingly desperate ways. The most powerful movements in US history succeeded in similar ways. In addition to analyzing the recent climate and Indigenous movements, his presentation draws lessons from four classic victories: the abolition of slavery, battles for workers’ rights in the 1930s, Black freedom struggles of the 1950s and 1960s, and the fight for clean air. Those movements inflicted costs on economic elites through strikes, boycotts, and other mass disruption. Gains in the electoral and legislative realms were usually the byproducts of great upsurges in the fields, factories, and streets. The presentation draws from Kevin Young's recent book, Abolishing Fossil Fuels: Lessons from Movements That Won (PM Press, 2024).

John Stoehr: Can Dems Fight Fire With Fire?

A recent Gallup poll found that, as is often the case early in a Republican presidency, Democratic Party affiliation has increased over the past few months, giving Democrats an edge. Paradoxically, the same poll shows the Democratic Party to be quite unpopular at the moment, particularly among Democrats themselves. This week on Sea Change Radio, we welcome John Stoehr of The Editorial Board back to the program to talk about the sad state of American politics. We focus much of this wide-ranging discussion on strategies that Democrats should employ to wrestle away the authoritarian grip that the MAGA right currently has on this country. We touch upon the real-world impacts of kitchen-table economic issues created by tariffs, and look at how Dems should be fighting GOP redistricting schemes.
