Janie Rezner with Dr. Helen Caldicott, anti-nuclear advocate
Nov. 18, 2014, 11:20 p.m.
Dr. Helen Caldicott, Physician, author, and dedicated international anti-nuclear advocate. Author of "If you Love this Planet: A plan to save the Earth; "The New Nuclear Danger" and others, including her newest, Crisis without End" - represents an unprecedented look into the profound aftereffects of Fukushima. Helen writes, "Until the climate movement embraces a nuclear free future it will be impossible to win the race again time we are currently engaged in. Something large climate action groups should take note of as after decades of working toward abolition the US Presidents signs a 3 trillion dollar deal for new nuclear weapons under the guise of "refurbishment." The future can be saved by a decisive lockdown on toxic energy generations of all kinds and by cutting the pursestrings to the funding of endless wars.

What the Lobster Knew: Biomimicry + Concrete
Nov. 18, 2014, 5:34 p.m.
Did you know that the production of cement is responsible for 5% of the carbon dioxide emissions on the planet? Our guest today on Sea Change Radio is geologist, biomineralization expert, and entrepreneur, Brent Constantz. His start-up company, Blue Planet Ltd., hopes to use biomimicry to transform carbon dioxide to a calcium carbonate base that can be used to build, pave and even roof.
Not only would this innovative process reduce the use of fossil-fuels involved in the production of conventional cement and concrete, according to Constantz the process is so scalable it could fundamentally transform how we approach coal emissions. Mineralization that mimics the mastery of a lobster shedding and growing a new shell is at the heart of this technology which has the dual utility of carbon sequestration and building material as sustainable as it is durable. Blue Planet concrete is not the first innovation to be inspired by nature, but it may be the first to apply the biochemistry of sea creatures like lobsters and corals to carbon capture.

Helen Caldicott with Stephen Cohen (TWO of TWO) The Ukraine Crisis, Is Nuclear Conflict Likely?
Nov. 17, 2014, 4:42 p.m.
On October 10, 2014, Stephen Cohen, the eminent scholar of Russian Studies from Princeton, gave an extensive interview to Sophie Shevardnadze on RT. (Formerly called Russia Today, this is the Russian cable and satellite TV channel that is aimed at an international audience). This program begins with clips from that interview. Stephen Cohen says we are in a new Cold War with the added danger of a nuclear confrontation. Cohen gives an erudite critique of the current sanctions and the US led NATO expansion Eastward that has destabilized Europe.
In the second part of this program we return to Helen Caldicott's appearance at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, that was covered in Part ONE of this program. Following her talk on The Ukraine Crisis, Is Nuclear Conflict Likely? she answered questions from the Press. As you will hear in this segment some of the problems with media coverage and the reasons for the news black-out on this topic are due to the lack of information or bias even among journalists.
While living in the US, Helen Caldicott brought Physicians for Social Responsibility out of a long dormancy. The umbrella organization, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, won the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize. Her most recent book is Crisis Without End an anthology about the current and future danger of Fukushima.

An Apology to General Proctor
Nov. 17, 2014, 9:14 a.m.
The Cult of Brock was established in Canada by the Tories in order to build the idea of a British identity. Part of this historical revisionism involved the demonization of General Proctor. Phil explains how Canadian history suppresses the story of how Proctor tried to maintain the Crown's alliance with local First Nations peoples. He was retroactively pilloried by his own masters for following the spirit of these orders.

Occupy The Local Food Co-Op (November 16, 2014)
Nov. 16, 2014, 9:49 p.m.
TheAngryindian speaks again with US Social Justice activist Matthew (@MatheMattic) about his involvement in the co-operative food industry and his perspectives about the possibility of positive institutional change through member-owner coop democracies, farmer-customer relations and the value of open-source technology as a business model. The guest insists that if the general public were educated on the basics of co-operative concepts, that people would then take it upon themselves to initiate the progressive changes they wish to see. He raises the labour wage issue and how North American coop culture(s) can work towards promoting a functional alternative to the extant US vulture capitalist model of private ownership and monopoly over public utilities and other necessities.
"For the Good of Mankind" (Truman on the A-Bomb)-Nukes, Drones,Military Robots
Nov. 16, 2014, 8:44 p.m.
(7th panel) Teach-In on why Technology will not save the world. 45 Scholars, Authors & Activists over two days provide an analysis on why immediate change is required in our thinking,
behavior, values and economies.
With The Planet Depleted, overbuilt and poisoned, wild nature and its great gifts are disappearing. The economic challenge for a growth economy is to save itself by build entirely new resources bases to replace the old ones: New genetic foods, new genetic people and beings, new chemical skies to replace old ones (the victims of climate change), new molecular systems, new weaponry on earth and soon, in space, et. al.. For corporations, innovation solves the problem: Ignore the mess, create saleable "green" false solutions, and build and market "substitute nature" for uninterrupted product development and growth. (Event program)
This epic teach-in seeks to frame the issues and offer ecologically sane alternatives that could result in a way out of the termination of Nature and society. It also offers eye witness
accounts of the large scale testing of nuclear weapon radioactivity on human beings by scientist and medical professionals working for the U.S. government and the Pentagon. Dr. Helen Caldicott instructs all to NOT eat any foods or fish from Japan due to the cover-up of the severity of contamination from the continuing and uncontrolled reactor melt downs in Fukushima, Japan.
Anatomy of a Murder
Nov. 16, 2014, 2:37 p.m.
This week we hand down judgement on Otto Premingerâs (1959) Courtroom Classic ANATOMY OF A MURDER starring Jimmy Stewart, Lee Remick and George C. Scott. Set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, small-town lawyer Paul Biegler (Stewart) is a former district attorney who lost his re-election bid, spends most of his time fishing, playing the piano and hanging out with his alcoholic friend and colleague Parnell McCarthy and sardonic secretary Maida. One day Biegler is contacted by Laura Manion (Remick), wife of the loutish US Army Lieutenant âMannyâ Manion (Gazzara), who has been arrested for the first degree murder of innkeeper Barney Quill. Manion doesnât deny the murder, but claims that his wife was raped by Quill, so he killed him! Even with such a motivation, it would be difficult to get Manion cleared of murder, but Manion claims to have NO memory of the event, suggesting that he may be eligible for a defense of irresistible impulse â a somewhat unknown version of a temporary insanity, which immediately catches the attention of Slick down state Lansing prosecutor Claude Dancer (George C. Scott), who sets up shop in the costal town to ensure no one gets aways with it! Caught somewhere between his aloof YOOPER lifestyle and country lawyer demeanor, Biegler must keep one hand on the charm and the other on his case â which appears to be a challenge in itself, especially when the victim would much rather flaunt her panties then wear her girdle as Biegler suggests! Nominated for several academy awards including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Cinematography, Anatomy of a Murder has been well received by critics as well as members of the legal and educational professions. In 1989, the American Bar Association rated this as one of the (10) best trial films of all time â it has gone on to receive high praise long after its 1959 release.. We round out all out with our most âObjectionableâ movie whateverâs.
