Troubled Coastlines From Louisiana To Maine, Pt. II

Last week on Sea Change Radio, we spoke with Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Bob Marshall about Louisiana’s shrinking coastline. And this week we continue to talk about coastlines. First, in the second part of our discussion with Bob Marshall, we focus on the massive undertaking of reversing a century and a half of policies that have left the Mississippi River Delta region battered.Marshall will tell us about the struggle to raise funds and political will in a part of the country where oil and gas are king. Then, from the deep South we go “Down East” to talk with former Maine State Representative Seth Berry about his state’s coastal problems — ocean acidifcation and rising sea temperatures are putting much of Maine’s fishing economy at risk. Like Louisiana, Maine has a Republican Governor, who has been throwing up obstacles for environmental groups who are trying to address the issue. Berry discusses what it will take to win the battle against the governor Politico dubbed, "America’s Craziest."

3 Minutes to Midnight on the Doomsday Clock

The Doomsday Clock was created in 1947 by atomic scientists who had participated in the Manhattan Project. They were in shock by the impact of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In 1945 they founded the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in order to alert people to the dangers of nuclear weapons and the need to abolish them. Over the 70 years since then the Bulletin has published without interruption and has welcomed other scientists who are working on nuclear power and climate change to join them and more precisely describe the existential risk humanity is facing. The decision to move the hand of the doomsday clock closer to midnight was made by over 20 scientists, 17 of whom are Nobel Laureates. They declared: "Unchecked climate change, global nuclear weapons modernizations, and outsized nuclear weapons arsenals pose extraordinary and undeniable threats to the continued existence of humanity" This program is the recording of the press conference held by the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists on January 22, 2015. Speakers were: Kennette Benedict, the outgoing executive director and publisher of the Bulletin Richard Somerville, Research Professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography Sivan Kartha, senior scientist at the Stockholm Environment Institute and Sharon Squassoni. She directs the Proliferation Prevention Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC. http://thebulletin.org/

The Legal Assault On Palestinian Rights Activism (part 1 of 2)

On today's show we share with you the first three segments (out of five) of a recent conference: "The Legal Assault Against Palestinian Rights Activism" sponsored by the Institute of Palestine Studies, and held on November 21, 20014 in Washington D.C. Among other issues, the panelists discuss the criminalization of Palestinian advocacy and the targeting of individual Palestinian rights activists for surveillance, investigation, harassment, and even criminal prosecution, citing numerous cases. The panel was moderated by Journal of Palestine Studies editor Rashid I. Khalidi and featured civil rights attorneys Andrew Dalack, Dima Khalidi and Yaman Salahi and Professor Steven Salaita, whose firing by the University of Illinois has drawn increased attention to the aggressive silencing of pro-Palestinian voices in the US. The panelists discussed the criminalization of Palestinian advocacy and the targeting of individual Palestinian rights activists for surveillance, investigation, and criminal prosecution, referencing the cases against longtime Chicago activist Rasmea Odeh, the so-called Holy Land Five (Ghassan Elashi, Shukri Abu-Baker, Mufid Abdulqader, Abdulrahman Odeh, and Mohammad El-Mezain), and former University of South Florida Professor Sami al-Arian. The panelists also discussed the campus politics surrounding student activism whereby pro-Israel groups apply pressure to university administrations to silence or hinder pro-Palestinian activism through accusations of anti-Semitism and even threatening legal action for alleged ties to terrorism. Even though such efforts are ultimately unsuccessful, they may have a chilling effect on students. Panelists also discussed ways to counter such efforts and support pro-Palestinian activism on university campuses. The first segment features opening remarks by Michelle Esposito and Columbia University prof. Rashid Khaladi. This next segment features civil rights attorney Andrew Daleck discussing the prosecution of Palestinian rights activist Rasmea Odeh. The final segment features attorney Dimi Khaladi speaking about her work in defense of Palestinian activists who are under assault across the country for that activism.

Hungerstruck: 02-08-2015

This week, Sean Swain, talks about his continued hunger strike which he plans to escalate tonight by denying his hypertension medication (which could kill him in a few days). He explains the silliness of OSP's denial of his ability to communicate with his supporters and requests listeners and supporters to pressure the administration to get him his right to freer communication back. More at http://seanswain.org!

Sean Swain on his hunger strike; Operacion Pandora update from Spain; North American Anarchist Studies Conference 2015

This week: Sean Swain announces that he's escalating his hunger strike and will begin denying his hypertension medication this evening. This could put him in dire danger, he could die within a few days. This protest is in response to the administration at OSP & ODRC selectively denying his access to communicate with his supporters, in particular with Ben Turk via the jpay video chat. From his support page: "Sean needs support right now. Rick Kerger, his lawyer is filing a restraining order preventing the ODRC from cancelling future video visits. There are three things you can do. 1. Call OSP Warden Forshay and demand that he meet with Sean in good faith and negotiate a reversal of the ODRC policy of f**king with Sean on flimsy pretexts. 330-743-0700. Ext. 2006. 2. Write Sean a letter, or even better, request a video visit yourself. The first step is getting approved as a visitor, using this form. The more communication we send Sean’s way, the more of their time they’ll have to waste fucking with him. Sean often says “they’ll get tired of killing me before I get tired of dying.” Let’s make sure he’s right. Sean’s address: Sean Swain OSP 243-205 878 Coitsville-Hubbard Rd Youngstown OH 44505 3. Call ODRC Investigator Paul Schumacher, who cancelled Sean’s video visits, and say whatever you want to his voicemail. 614-728-1152" More at http://seanswain.org Then, we hear from Andrew Hoyt about the upcoming North American Anarchist Studies Conference in San Francisco during the 20th through the 22nd of March, 2015. He talks about the network, which was created to link researchers with activists and assist dialogue to spread anarchism in society. If you're interested in putting on a workshop, the deadline is coming up on February 14th, so hurry up! Info on the network, the upcoming (free) conference, past conferences, how to join the email list and more can be found at http://naasn.org Finally, we get an update from a comrade in Barcelona about Operacion Pandora, the Spanish government's series of raids and arrests on December 16th, 2014, of anarchists around the country. The Spanish government, according to the guest, is trying to link those 7 remaining with charges of connection to the GAC (Coordinated Anarchist Groups) which published a rather dry book criticizing Democracy and it's uses by existing governments to justify VERY undemocratic actions. The Spanish government is then proposing that GAC is aligned with the Informal Anarchist Federation Tendency (FAI/IAF). The text, which will be distributed for free on February 14th in protest around Spain and portions have been translated into English (http://rabble.org.uk/against-democracy-terrorist-text-from-spain/). The guest speaks about La Ley Mordaza (Gag Law) recently passed in Spain and how this operation appears to be a first step of illegalizing effective protest tactics (such as protesting at religious institutions or setting up barricades) and branding them as terroristic in order to choke off resistance within Spain. More on the case and shows of resistance against it can be found at http://efectivopandora.wordpress.com
