"Peace Conference" in Uganda Re Burundi Stalled

Le Beni Tazira explains the reality of the "peace talks" in Kampala, Ugunda (a very questionable place for peace talks). The talks are in shambles. There was no dialog. A trap was set to entangle the Burundi government with a violent opposition party which does not have support nor popularity. The violent opposition party demands that the democratically elected President Pierre Nkurunziza step down, and they demanded an amendment to a Constitutional article mandating a party has to have 5% of the primary vote to be represented in government institutions. This party could not even muster 1% of the vote in the 2010 elections. Tazira emphasizes that Belgium is the main instigator attacking the government of Burundi. They failed to destroy the democratically elected Burundi government, and Belgium's last option is an invasion force. Tazira and Phil Taylor discuss the peace-talk trap, the absurdity of sending 5,500 troops to squash violence in 3 neighborhoods that the local police can control, the violent opposition stashing weapons for years in Burundi, the ex-president Buyoya who came to power via coups causing the genocide of over 300,000 people. Tanzania said they will support troops into Burundi ONLY with the consent of the Burundi government, and they would support only a police mandate.

Bulletin Board: Entertainment and Sports

Entertainment: Phil Taylor praises the newly released film, Trumbo, that details the role of screen writer Dalton Trumbo as a member of the Hollywood 10 taken before the House Un-American Committee in 1947 because of absurd fears that their communist thinking was a threat to the motion picture industry. Taylor says Trumbo lets you see how Hollywood works and how people perform under stress when they have their principles at stake. One example given was Edward G. Robinson, a progressive anti-racist pro-labor man, who clenched when when the hammer came down, when put in the "pressure chamber." John Wayne is portrayed for what he was, a bully and noisy fake, who told Trumbo, a soldier who fought in the war against fascism, to return to Russia. Meanwhile, Wayne's only fighting was on the beaches of California. Wayne was a vindictive arrogant man wanting all of the Hollywood 10s' lives and their families' lives destroyed. Taylor also describes a very touching scene between Trumbo and his daughter who asks him if she is a communist. Trumbo gives the daughter a test, which will warm your heart and your mind. Sports/Football, which some say is a national religion. Taylor discusses the Washington Redskins' redneck discrimination against American Indians and Blacks, their recent loss to the Green Bay Packers and the their abuse of one of the great football quarterbacks, Robert Griffin III. Taylor notes that the Green Bay Packers are the only major sports enterprise in North America owned by their city, an example for all others (but also an example banned by the NFL in 1960).

Voices Of IllumiNation Volume 3

Voices Of IllumiNation is a recorded show for all people, made to honor and promote the wisdom of all of the many wonderful prophetic artists, musicians and poets who have for so long been reaching out to all people on this planet we all share. It is an honor for me to bring their words to the spotlight and place emphasis on the important meaningful messages they share with the world and that coincide with everyone's indigenous common ground. Let us recognize the pearls of wisdom in so many songwriters that people tend to overlook and forget about too quickly and examine their words much closer than ever before, where we will find the many answers to life's questions that we all need to learn from and spread around much more among us all. If we're not willing enough to learn the songs of love, then we're just allowing hate to become the new incoming rhythms of the times. Voices Of Illumination that sing and speak of: 1. What it takes to make the world a better place. 2. When feeling that life is just passing by. 3. The light you're truly loved for. 4. Melting the angers of the past away. 5. The gold mine within all people. 6. The misfits of the mainstream. 7. Keeping our parents crap in the past. 8. Asking God about church.

Survival Is Indigenous

The consequences of the control of reproduction and the reproduction of daily life that began about the time of the creation of the moveable type printing press, in approximately the year 1440 is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious. Our guest is Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner, the Founding Director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation in Fayetteville, New York and member of the Adjunct Faculty at Syracuse University, in Syracuse, New York. Sally Roesch Wagner was one of the first two women to receive a doctorate for work in women’s studies, with a Ph.D. awarded to her in 1978 from the history of consciousness program by the University of California at Santa Cruz. Wagner, a Radio Curious veteran guest is now the author of “Survival Is Indigenous,” a book that describes the consequences of the societal control shortly after the development of the printing press, fomented by western religions, which she argues exists to the present time. Sally Roesch Wagner and I visited in the Radio Curious studios on January 6, 2016, to discuss “Survival Is Indigenous,” and began our conversation when I asked her what is indigenous about survival. The books Dr. Wagner recommends are “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants,” by Robin Will Kimmerer; and “My Life on The Road,” by Gloria Stienem.

The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the rise of America's secret government, Part TWO

This is a conversation between two authors who dedicated their work to revealing the under-cover world of US politics. David Talbot is doing it here in the form of a real life spy thriller - The Devil's Chessboard - a book that is more intriguing than current fiction. Peter Dale Scott calls the invisible government the Deep State and has written several books defining the term. In this second part of their conversation Scott and Talbot begin with the aftermath of WWII where the future of war time intelligence services, and the future relations to the USSR and what became the Cold War, are being decided. President Truman resisted the conversion of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) into the CIA. However Allen Dulles had different plans. He had rejoined Sullivan and Cromwell, a law firm with huge impact on international affairs, and powerful corporate clients. Dulles also had close relations with the Council on Foreign Relations. Founded in 1921 and still very active today, it is a think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy, headquartered in New York City. The CFR promotes globalization, free trade, reducing financial regulations, and support regional blocs such as NAFTA or the TPP. These are the forces that shaped post war policy more than any actions by the post war US administration.

Algae Systems and Other Miracles: John Perry Barlow

Who doesn't need a miracle? As the lyricist for many timeless Grateful Dead classics, as a privacy rights activist, or as the founder of the biofuel company, Algae Systems, John Perry Barlow has used creativity and sheer will to advance a wide array of "miracles." That is until a devastating illness left him hospitalized for most of 2015. Sea Change Radio host Alex Wise sat down recently with Barlow, who's still on the mend, along with the CEO of Algae Systems, Matthew Atwood. They discuss the company's technology which turns waste water into fuel, and the current Indiegogo campaign to raise new capital for Algae Systems. They also delve into Barlow's relationship with Edward Snowden, his recovery from this illness, and the unfortunate tale of how he missed out on the Grateful Dead's Fare Thee Well mini-tour.
