Vandana Shiva's Celebration of Gandhi's Home Rule; Part TWO of TWO
Sept. 29, 2015, 5:53 p.m.
This is the conclusion of the one hour talk by the Indian physicist, ecologist, author and seed saver Vandana Shiva.
This part of her speech is an indictment of industrial agriculture - much of it based on her research into the Green Revolution and her work with the Indian government and the UN.
Monsanto claims that Glyphosate can't harm humans because we do not have the shikimate pathway that plants and bacteria have. Shiva says what they ignore - or deliberately not tell us - is that the human body is made up of 600 trillion cells - most of which are bacteria. Many of the trillions of bacteria in our bodies and especially inside our gut are affected by the Roundup Ready GMOs we eat.
She points to new disease epidemics with the highest numbers in the USA. They may be related to the early introduction and wide distribution of GMOs and the two associated toxins, Bt and Roundup.
Research in Shiva's Navdanya Foundation shows that wherever Bt crops or Glyphosate are used the soils and pollinators are seriously affected.
She also warns that more and more countries are creating laws that criminalize the age old practice of saving and exchanging of seeds.
She praises the efforts of localization and encourages everybody not to give up our relationships to nature and each other that are based on love and care.

The Imprisonment of A Climate Hero
Sept. 29, 2015, 3:19 p.m.
In the remote Indian ocean nation of the Maldives, they donât have the luxury of discussing climate change as an academic subject. The small countryâs very existence faces a nearly inescapable fate of submersion. As president of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed was embraced by the international environmental community when he sent out a clarion call for immediate action to harness greenhouse gases at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference of 2009. He was also featured in the documentary film, The Island President, which chronicled his inspiring efforts. And yet, Mohamed Nasheed now faces a different sort of struggle. He was overthrown by a military dictatorship in 2013 and was incarcerated earlier this year. This week on Sea Change Radio, we discuss the plight of this imprisoned climate hero with his attorney, international human rights lawyer Jared Genser. Genser recently visited President Nasheed along with fellow human rights activist, Amal Clooney, who's also known as the wife of movie star George Clooney. I talk with Genser about the current political situation in the Maldives and what his team is doing to help free not only President Nasheed but also the 1700 other political prisoners locked up by the dictatorship of Abdullah Yameen.

Out of the Woods - Show #286 - 10-3-15
Sept. 29, 2015, 5:30 a.m.
This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length.
Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Kate MacLeod, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

Max Blumenthal, who was inside Gaza during Israel's attack
Sept. 28, 2015, 6:07 p.m.
Our main feature this week is a talk by Max Blumenthal, author most recently of The 51 Day War: Ruin and Resistance in Gaza. Blumenthal was actually in Gaza during that "war" (actually a brutal one-sided attack by Israel with U.S. support).
One year ago today, Israel invaded, bombed and shelled Gaza, and continued to do that for the next seven weeks. According to the U.N., at least 2,104 Gazans were killed â 1,462 of whom (69 percent) were civilians, including 495 children. A total of 6 Israeli civilians, and 66 soldiers, were killed. The shockingly high civilian death rate in Gaza included the now-iconic imagery of four young boys from the same family being killed by Israeli warships while they played on a beach in front of a hotel filled with foreign journalists.
But first, we read an article by our colleague Samer Jaber, reporting on our courts' outrageous treatment of Rasmea Odeh. She was sentenced to prison for allegedly falsifying a U.S. citizenship application. She had been tortured and imprisoned by Israel forces, reporting honestly on her application that she had never been imprisoned for a crime she committed. The judge in her case wouldn't allow the real story into evidence, adding to her sentence for trying to do so.

Soil Moisture and the Nature of Drought
Sept. 28, 2015, 11:58 a.m.
Keynote address at the Citizens Climate Lobby - Midwest Regional Conference by Bennet B. Brabson, Professor Emeritus, IU Bloomington, whose research included the Physics of Climate Change.
The sun says, Professor Brabson, does either one of two things when it's energy encounters Earth: it evaporates water or it heats the surface.
Roughly 80% of the energy is absorbed converting water to water vapor. The heated land however gives off infra-red radiation, the energy we perceive as warmth, back into space.
He compares the Earth's atmosphere to two windows. One totally open to the incoming energy but the other partially closed to the out going. That partially closed window, due to heat trapping gases like water vapor and CO2 is why were have a livable planet. But human use of fossil fuels and world wide destruction of forests and grass lands has been adding to the relatively tiny presence of CO2 and in effect closing the window that lets out the heat. Unlike the water vapor, which cycles in and out of the atmosphere, CO2 can remain for a thousand years unless taken up by the Earth's forests and grass lands; biomes which Capitalism has excelled at greatly reducing.
The geological record reveals that drought comes in two forms: Hot and Cool. Professor Brabson speaks about the effect that a hotter atmosphere has on soil moisture, his area of research, and more intense weather and the negative potential for food security.
Professor Brabson's offers some examples of clever
solutions to reduce fossil fuel use that can be implemented
when the influence of the fossil fuel lobby on policy makers is countered through the work of folks like those in his audience.
