The Dynamics of Possible Nuclear Extinction - Weapons in Space, FIVE
May 19, 2015, 8:19 p.m.
Bruce Gagnon is the coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space. That's an international organization he co-founded in 1992. It has an unbroken record of education and activism on a rarely covered topic, the Weaponization of Space.
As vice president of a Young Republican Club in Florida, Gagnon volunteered in Richard Nixonâs 1968 presidential campaign. His change in consciousness began with a small group of Vietnam War protesters who stood outside an Air Force base in California where he was stationed.
Gagnon's new life began with the United Farm-workers; he organized fruit pickers in Florida. For 15 years he coordinated the Florida Coalition for Peace and Justice. In 1987 he organized the largest peace protest in Florida's history. Over 5,000 people marched on Cape Canaveral in opposition to the first flight test of the Trident II nuclear missile.
Bruce Gagnon was one of the speakers at the two day symposium on the Dynamics of Possible Nuclear Extinction organized by the anti nuclear campaigner and physician Dr. Helen Caldicott. He spoke on February 28, 2015, in New York City.
The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking
May 19, 2015, 5:30 p.m.
"Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?" Jack Kerouac's "On The Road" perfectly captured the essence of the American fascination with the automobile. But that love affair has been dysfunctional, at least as far as the environment goes. This week on Sea Change Radio, we hear from Ginger Strand, a non-fiction writer who has written extensively on the American interstate. Strand and host Alex Wise discuss the history of American roads over the past five decades, efforts to protect wildlife in the face of road encroachment, and the evolution of hitch-hiking as the rideshare movement continues to blossom. Then, we revisit our conversation with Paul Minett, the founder of the Ridesharing Institute in Auckland, NZ and Mark Svenvold, a journalist who's profiled Minettâs work.

Out of the Woods - Show #267 - 5-23-15
May 19, 2015, 1:55 p.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

Venezuela is not a Threat, We are Hope
May 17, 2015, 8:45 p.m.
Ambassador, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Maximilien Sanchez Arvelaiz was invited to speak by Chicago Stands With Venezuela, a solidarity committee that took exception to President Obama issuing an Executive Order (3/9/2015) declaring Venezuela "a national emergency with respect the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security" of the US (The hypocrisy of the Executive Order is detailed in the background given by Professor Artz}.
The Ambassador speaks about the new relationships that the countries of Latin America are developing, and of some of the improvements his government has made, extending rights to all citizens, that have angered the mostly light skinned opponents of the Bolivarian Revolution. The "opposition", in conjunction with the US Government who since 2000 has spent over $120 million for "democracy promotion", seek to over throw, violently, a country democratically organized to provide for the life needs of all its people; literacy, healthcare, education, food security and dignity in old age. The Ambassador recounts the (Bosses) strike that attempted, but failed, to bring down the government and the current economic sabotage that is creating food shortages that US media tout as portending social collapse. The last question, from a student originally from Brazil, asks "What is Venezuela a hope for?"

This week, we're excited to present a conversation with Saralee Stafford and Neal Shirley, editors and authors of a new book out from AK Press entitled "Dixie Be Damned: 300 years of Insurrection in the American South". The book is a study of Maroon, Indigenous, White, Black, worker, farmer, slave, indentured, women and men wrestling against institutions of power for autonomy and self-determination. All of this in a region stereotyped to be backwards, slow, lazy, victimized and brutal. The editors do a smash-bang job of re-framing narratives of revolt by drawing on complex and erased examples of cross-subjectivity struggles and what they can teach us today about current uprisings in which we participate.
Throughout the hour we explore some of the examples that became chapters in the book, critiques of narrative histories and academia and what new ways forward might be towards an anarchist historiography. More on the book can be found at http://www.revolutionbythebook.akpress.org/dixie-be-damned-read-an-excerpt/ and keep an ear out for Saralee and Neal's book tour, coming to a bookspace near you.

BBC's Frontline interviews Haaretz journalist Gideon Levy
May 17, 2015, 12:35 p.m.
The feature presentation this morning is a radio interview with Haaretz journalist Gideon Levy conducted by prominent British journalist John Snow on a BBC program called Frontline. The interview was conducted in a room with several other journalists who joined in on the question portion of the show. Gideon Levy doesn't mince words in his analysis of Israel's nightmare government.
Before this, we pass on a Haaretz report of white Israelis' racism against their darker-skinned Ethiopian Jewish brethren. About 1% of the Israeli population are black Ethiopian Jews. Israel's engrained racism doesn't end with Palestinians! It also treats its Ethiopian brethren with contempt and brutality, not unlike U.S. behavior against black and poor.
