Healthcare & The Black Panther Party
Feb. 16, 2016, 9:45 p.m.
The exodus of approximately six million black people from the American South between 1915 and 1970 had a significant role in setting the stage of the civil rights movement of the early 1960s. Many of the children of those who left the south participated in desegregation efforts which included the Freedom Rides and lunch counter sit-ins. The Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 which attempted to resolve employment discrimination and define voting rights, only changed the law. Many young blacks however did not see changes in their everyday life.
The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was born out of this disillusionment. Although infiltrated and feared by the F.B.I., the Black Panther Party pioneered social and community programs, including free medical clinics, free meals, and educational programs.
Our guest in this edition of Radio Curious is Columbia University Sociology and Gender Studies Professor Alondra Nelson, author of âBody and Soul: The Black Panther Party and the Fight Against Medical Discrimination.â
We visited by phone from her Office in New York City, on February 13, 2012 and began our conversation when I asked her to describe the Black Panther Party.
The book she recommends is âCrave Radiance: New and Selected Poems,â by Elizabeth Alexander.
Professor Nelsonâs website is http://www.alondranelson.com.
Arnie Gundersen: WHAT DID THEY KNOW, WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT?
Feb. 16, 2016, 7:21 p.m.
On the 5th anniversary of the Fukushima disaster the new Japanese State Secrets Law enacted in 2014 limits information and threatens journalists with jail time. And even Western media make it appear as if the worst has passed.
Acknowledging the reality of this accident with global consequences at least 100 years into the future is not only frightening for just plain folk but would be economically devastating to the energy corporations. When former nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen was asked by his family in early 2011 where the next nuclear power plant accident would take place he said he was unable to say where but that he was convinced that it would be a Mark I or II General Electric design. Three weeks later the Fukushima Daiichi Mark I reactors melted down.
Almost 1/4 of the so called âfleetâ of nuclear reactors in the US are of the same design as Fukushima Daiichi. If you live in New York City, Boston, Minneapolis, Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago or Wilmington, you are threatened by one or more of these vulnerable Mark I or II reactors. Only one of them has been closed since Fukushima. The Vermont Yankee in southern Vermont was shut down on December 29, 2014.
The reason Arnie Gundersen is so familiar with this design is that he was an engineer on the Millstone Mark I reactor and a nuclear insider until he was fired in 1990 for pointing out security flaws. Today he publishes on the web site Fairewinds dot org.
Here is a speech he gave at the Fukushima Symposium 2013 that is as brilliantly up to date today as it was then. The two day event on March 11 and 12, 2013 was organized by The Helen Caldicott Foundation and cosponsored by Physicians for Social Responsibility. It was held at the New York Academy of Medicine in New York City.
Alex Camacho: Supreme Court Climate
Feb. 16, 2016, 6:11 p.m.
Remember the Paris Climate Agreement, when it looked for a moment like world leaders were actually going to address our shared global concern? Well, last week the US Supreme Court, in an unprecedented move, granted a stay to the utility companies and 27 states who had filed suit to halt the Obama Administration's lynchpin environmental legislation - the EPA's Clean Power Plan. The stay posed a threat to the recent Paris Climate Agreement. But then, over the weekend, things took a dramatic turn with the death of the Supreme Court's arch-conservative, Antonin Scalia. So what does it all mean for US climate policy? Joining us this week on Sea Change Radio to make sense of the complexities of these court proceedings is environmental law expert Alex Camacho, a Professor at the University of California at Irvine. He describes the implications of the stay, and explains how Scalia's passing does and does not affect this decision by the Court.

Ilan Pappé speaks in Australia on "The Forgotten Palestinians"
Feb. 16, 2016, 4:12 p.m.
Speaking in Sydney, Australia, Pappé lays out some of the sordid history of Israel's claim to be a "democracy" while simultaneously building and enforcing a racist apartheid structure. "The Forgotten Palestinians" are Palestinians who managed to remain within Israel's official borders in the course of the Nakba. They became Israeli citizens. But essentially they enjoy no rights and are confronted by a deeply prejudicial system of laws and treatment.
The most effective way to challenge the distortions, myths and outright lies of the Israeli narrative which drives American Policy is to present the historical, documented facts which we describe as the Palestinian narrative. This Week In Palestine systematically tries to present that narrative each week, well researched, well documented history, and the analysis and opinion which flows from that history. And no one is more reliable in the presentation of that narrative than New Historian, Ilan Pappé. That is why we feature him so often on this program, and why we do so again this week.
So our extended feature presentation is Professor Ilan Pappé speaking in Sydney, Australia, where the Jewish Lobby was unsuccessful in its attempts to prevent this lecture from occurring.

CTU President Karen Lewis on Dr. Martin Luther King
Feb. 15, 2016, 9:28 p.m.
Invited to give the keynote on "Social Justice" at the annual Martin
Luther King Day event she spoke about the two Kings. The mythical
man created after his death by the State and Madison Avenue and the real human being who, as an activist leader challenged the centers of Militarism, Racism and Capitalism that he identified as the roots of oppression and injustice; and was then vilified by his Government whom she reminds us, likely had a hand in his murder.
She demystifies Martin Luther King and explains the importance of his being understood as a regular, even flawed human being, who when called by the circumstances to fight against injustice did so.
Lively talk about her own fight with Chicago's Mayor and the State's Governor both of whom represent the 1% who are desperate to destroy Public Education and the radical teachers union that the CTU
has become under the leadership of CORE (the Caucus of Rank and File Educators) and Karen Lewis, in order to push forward their neoliberal program of leeching off public resources in a time of falling profits.
Karen Lewis is featured in the recent book on Twenty-First-Century Social Movements and the Activists That Are Transforming Our World, "When We Fight We Win" by Greg Jobin-Leeds and AgitArte.
Chicago public school teachers and parents have shown solidarity
and a willingness to take to the streets when necessary to interrupt the only thing that the 1% care about -Capital flows- in order to defend the needs of the students and the dignity of the teachers who educate them.
