Dr. Norma Field on the Human Element
March 24, 2016, 12:18 p.m.
BACKGROUND:
This year marks two milestone anniversaries in the long history of nuclear tragedy. Unlike all other kinds of disasters, where, after fires are put out, rubble cleared, and bodies buried, nuclear disasters continue to âkeep on givingâ long after those activities are completed. As one Russian doctor put it at a conference for the 20th anniversary of Chornobyl, "The accident is over. The catastrophe is just beginning." Such is the case with both Chornobyl and Fukushima. Both stand as stark reminders of the extraordinary downsides to the Nuclear Age, and offer lessons we ignore at our peril.
Dr. Norma Field is professor emeritus from the University of Chicago Dept. of East Asian Studies. She is Japanese, and frequently returns for Japan for visits and conferences relating to nuclear issues. She will be reporting on her recent visit to Japan and the situation in the areas around the Fukushima disaster zone. In her presentation she questions U.S. industry and military radiation experiments on humans and the corruption of scientific and societal integrity integral to the
development and continuance of nuclear arms and power.

We've got Swelling Itching Brains, psycho-self-help albums by Dr Frances Stern and Dr Murray Banks (Jayne Mansfield's shrink who had a cabaret comedy act), a drug-scare LP called LSD: BATTLE FOR THE MIND where the T-square-straight narrator refers to them as "hah-loose-in-OH-jens." And the show is capped off with an excruciating 8:30 version of "They're Coming to Take Me Away, HAHAAAAA!!!" by Jello Biafra with LARD.

UN Sanctions Against North Korea are Wrong
March 24, 2016, 7:41 a.m.
The US military stages âannualâ war games near the border of North Korea. This year the tactical goal of the âgamesâ was to decapitate the leadership of North Korea and to strike nuclear and missile centers. When North Korea responded to the games with a clear statement of their willingness to do battle with America, using all its available weapons the western media followed its practice of annual demonization of North Korea.
Steve Gowans points up the flawed approach of the UN Security Council and stresses that US occupation of South Korea and the effort to encircle China are at the heart of the problem.

Jean Bricmont on Western Origin of Brussels ISIS Attacks
March 23, 2016, 12:45 p.m.
Bricmont speaks of how the terror attacks in Brussels, like those in Paris, are the result of Western governments using violent Islamist groups to overthrow regimes in the Middle East and North Africa that are not to their liking, with the support of much of the European Left; how support for the notion of âhumanitarian intervention,â has led to the destabilization of Europe, Britain's Stop the War campaign being the exception. He compares Trump's public approach to Israel with those of his Republican opponents and Clinton, his praise for Israel at AIPAC notwithstanding, and points out that by publicly saying that he would be âneutralâ between Israelis and Palestinians in negotiations, and not paying any political price, whatever else his positions might be, demagogue and all, he has shattered a long held âtruismâ about US politics, that absolute loyalty to Israel on the part of US politicians is a sine quo non of being successful on the US political scene.
