Climate Change Interview with Harvard Professor James G. Anderson

Professor Anderson is interviewed by an anonymous Harvard Student. The video was posted at The Continuance Clips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y12P76EYQJ8 This short interview of Professor James Anderson explains climate change in terms of structures. Outstanding questions from the unidentified student. Global mean temperature is the worst way to understand what is happening, he explains why. Anderson provides some straight talk, understandable by a general audience. He explains the climate structures that control weather and filter out UV radiation as coupled to a dry stratosphere and the temperature difference between the Equator and the Poles. I is that that drives the overturning structure in the Troposphere to effect the Jet Stream. Wide ranging interview that encompasses science, extreme weather, politics and economics as they relate to the present crisis. The is no political imperative to describing what is happening as global warming he says. Universities have failed in there obligation to fully educate citizens. At about 18:00 "a question of political will and fundamental intelligence". "everything is wrong with burning fossil fuel, everything is correct with converting photons to electricity....Nature set this whole system up ideally.... are we smart enough to figure this out?" He offers solutions if we assemble the political will to act.

Hebron Under Seige - Christian Peacemaker Team Report Back

Violence continues to escalate all across Palestine-Israel in what some are calling the Third Intifada. Yousef Natsheh and Cody O'Rourke, with Christian Peacemaker Teams, discuss the current contours of the conflict and continuing theft, by exclusion of Palestinians from their lands in Hebron, under the guise of academic research. Naming plays a role in legitimizing the theft. Yousef speaks about the "new designations" which are used to wipe away Palestinian presence to lay false claim to their legal rights. Israeli supported and protected illegal settlements exist in Hebron. The religious fundamentalists who are the inhabitants act as the shock troops for Israel's strategic goal of ethnically cleansing Palestine of its indigenous Palestinian population. All violence is rooted in the oppression of the colonizers and the racism that is at the core of the Zionist project. The speakers offer their experience in non-violent resistance to injustice and possibly the road map for a sustainable and just peace.

Mazin Qumsiyeh at BC, part 2: the Palestinian Museum of Natural History and liberation of Palestinians' minds

Our feature presentation is by Palestinian professor Mazin Qumsiyeh, biologist, geneticist, activist and director of the new Museum of Natural History at Bethlehem University. He spoke at Boston College. We featured Prof Qumsiyeh last week giving a presentation based on his book, Sharing the Land of Canaan. This week we feature the second part of his presentation, which focuses on his work developing the Museum of Natural History at Bethlehem University, and the role it plays in the resistance to occupation. This is not just any Museum of Natural History, but, as you will hear, a lifeline to beauty and serenity in the midst of violence and war. He explains the connection between his ongoing Museum project and liberation of Palestinians' minds. As he says, the best weapon of an oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. Qumsiyeh showed a power point presentation as he spoke. You won't see the visuals, but you'll get the idea clearly. Much of the following presentation is in the form of questions and answers. The quality of the audio varies, but hopefully you will be able to follow the conversation. He also invites people to come visit and be involved in the Museum. Before that, we begin with a plea for protection from Palestinian women living in occupied East Jerusalem. The plea was written by the Jerusalemite Women’s Coalition and sent to us by our friend and colleague Khitam Edelbi, an expressive therapist who lives in East Jerusalem and is witness to the horrors being inflicted on the Palestinian community by the Israeli military and the Jewish settlers who are illegally expropriating Palestinian land. We read her statement describing the conditions under which Palestinians are living as Israel increases its strangulation of East Jerusalem. It is a plea to the international community for protection, because there is none from the Palestinian Authority or elsewhere. We also read an insightful article on this subject by Jonathan Cook in Mondoweiss.

NYC CUNY Faculty Arrested in Contract Protest

DOZENS OF CUNY FACULTY IN PROTEST HEAD TO JAIL v. SCHOOL with Barbara Bowen, President, Professional Staff Congress/CUNY and protesting workers CUNY Needs A Raise, Stop the War on CUNY, No More Excuses Chancellor Milliken" Several dozen City University of New York faculty members were arrested in the latest of a series of escalating protests as part of a demand for salary increases. CUNY s roughly 25,000 faculty and professional staff members have been without a contract since 2010 and have had no salary increases in that time. Just before the civil disobedience occurred and after an announcement of a strike authorization vote the CUNY Administration finally put an offer on the table, but the Professional Staff Congress, which represents the workers vows to keep the pressure on as the proposal falls far short of what is needed to pay staff decently for the important work they do. Chancellor Milliken's offer represents a failure on CUNY management's part to secure sufficient investment by Gov. Cuomo/New York State in the people who make college education possible for half a million working New Yorkers, for the immigrants and people of color of this city.

Trudeau and the Canadian Military-Industrial Complex: A Conversation with Richard Sanders

This week’s Global Research News Hour attempts to address how and why a militarism and military profiteering seems to be entrenched in Canadian foreign policy regardless of which political party is in power. Guest Richard Sanders is a long time anti-war activist and researcher, coordinator of the Ottawa-based Coalition Opposed to the Arms Trade, and Editor of Press For Conversion Magazine. Sanders joins us for the hour to discuss the prospects of change under the newly elected Liberal government, a controversial arms sale to Saudi Arabia, the drift of the more progressive NDP and Green parties toward embracing militarism, and what’s behind the failures of the anti-war movement to meaningfully confront war and war-profiteering.

Bolshevik Revolution 98th Anniversary

Back in the USSR commemorates the 98th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 by celebrating the victories and successes of socialist societies in the 20th Century and beyond. The achievements of socialism with regard to economic development, education, healthcare, human services, gender and national equality, technological and scientific achievement and other progressive indicators become all the more impressive when one realizes that all these gains were made in the face of constant aggression and hostile action from the world's capitalist powers. And yet, the USSR, Cuba, China, Korea, Vietnam, Angola, Mozambique, Grenada, and other socialist societies managed to do what had previously be thought unthinkable: they managed to build a society without exploitation.

Halloween and the Monster that is Capitalism

In Back in the USSR's first ever Halloween episode, we focus on some of the truly horrifying aspects of the world in which we live in and conclude that Freddy Krueger, Jason, Cujo, and every other character featured in modern horror films/literature is pretty tame in comparison to the CIA, the American Empire, and the global capitalist system in general. As Karl Marx said in volume one of Capital: "If money comes into the world with a congenital blood-stain on one cheek", then "capital comes dripping from head to toe, from every pore, with blood and dirt".

The Canadian Federal Election

After a long hiatus, Back in the USSR returns at last with some views on the recent Canadian federal election and how none of the major capitalist parties addressed the reality of austerity being faced by millions of Canadians today who must work harder and harder for less and less in order to pay rent and put food on the table. Though it took me away from the radio for awhile, I'm proud to say that my absence was well spent, running in the election for the Communist Party of Canada, the only political party that seemed to be truly addressing the concrete realities and demands of working class people in this country rather than engaging in grandstanding and PR sales pitches.

Dr. Ben Carson does not Speak for Me and Other COINTELPRO-style Distractions in North America

TheAngryindian speaks frankly about the sociopolitical and cultural madness surrounding GOP front-runner, retired surgeon and pathological liar Dr. Ben Carson and his campaign adviser Armstrong Williams, who remains (in)famous for selling-out the entire Black Community on behalf of the Bush/Cheney administration in regards to public education for a personal reward of a reported quarter of a million USD. Audio extras includes comments from radio host Mike Malloy (mikemalloy.com) and a lecture by Ward Churchill on the history of COINTELPRO (Counter-Insurgency Program) and the covert war against Indigenous, African, left-wing and progressive movements in the United States.
