Peyote buttons? The sessions for Between the Buttons took place between August and December in the magic year of 1966 in Hollywood and in London. They were the last sessions with Andrew Loog Oldham as producer. The album contains the most purely British of the Stones' songs, playing out like a psychedelic English summer bristling with class conflict. It was Frank Zappa's favorite Stones album. He thought the social comment was relevant and he thought it was better than Sgt Pepper. (Brian belched in reply when Frank told him that.) It is now mostly forgotten -- Mick and Keith both claim to not care for it at all. Yet this wry oft-acoustic music (though dig the powerful guitar riff on Amanda Jones!) set off sparks for so many of us it deserves a deep listen on the Chill Room.

Baird Throwing Canadian Special Operations Regiment into a Bubbling Cesspit in Iraq
Sept. 16, 2014, 8:20 p.m.
Scott Taylor relies on his extensive experience in Iraq to counter Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird's committing military contingency to the Kurdish region in northern Iraq.
Baird explains that the Canadians are not familiar with the complexity of the conflicts or the tribes in Iraq, Kurdistan, eastern Turkey. They are not ready for the "trip wires" they will encounter. This is not a good guy vs bad guy situation. It is a prison knife fight under blackout conditions.
Baird is committing Canada to Pandora's Box from which the lid has long since been removed.
Durwood Zaelke and the Ozone Keepers
Sept. 16, 2014, 8:05 p.m.
Remember the seventies? Remember feathered hair, pull-tab soda cans, debates about the thinning ozone layer? Our guest this week on Sea Change Radio is Durwood Zaelke, a policy advocate and environmental crusader who started working four decades ago to advance policy that would help preserve the ozone layer. Zaelke is the founder and President of the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development (IGSD) based in Washington, DC and Geneva. He's a noted international environmental lawyer who received both an Ozone Protection Award and a Climate Protection Award in 2008 for his help in maximizing the climate benefits of the Montreal Protocol.
Now, thanks largely to Zaelke and his organization, debates about the ozone layer are nearly as anachronistic as pull-tab cans and feathered hair. Nearly. Zaelke is still working on ozone protection, and, in line with the times, his organization s mission has broadened to include combating climate change. Stay tuned as Zaelke and host Alex Wise discuss in detail how the Montreal Protocol succeeded in making inroads to protect the ozone from hydrofluorocarbon pollutants, where the Kyoto Protocol has fallen short, and what needs to happen to make the next international climate change negotiations more productive.
Professor David Keith: A Case for Climate Engineering (ONE of TWO)
Sept. 16, 2014, 6:48 p.m.
Harvard Climate Scientist David Keith makes the case that global warming and CO2 pollution have become so severe that dramatic measures have to be researched immediately and applied by 2020. He is suggesting spraying particles from airplanes into the stratosphere to create a haze that will reduce solar radiation.
He names possible substances, including aluminum. However, his material of choice is sulfuric acid because it mimics volcanic explosions. He admits that such global intervention will damage the life protecting ozone layer, cause droughts and floods and will do nothing to resolve the expanding damage to the planet by still rising CO2 emissions.
Â
He says that we need to artificially cool the earth because we are too slow to cut back on CO2 pollution. And that once begun, the spraying of aerosols cannot be stopped for the next 50 years because that in itself would be a dramatic shock to the world.
Professor Keith denies that real live experimentation of spraying from airplanes is occurring â in spite of the observations of so-called chemtrails all over the world. He does however admit that spraying from airplanes is easy and inexpensive - all you need is an airfield and a couple of planes â and that such activity would be very difficult to detect.

Why does the 'Ice Bucket Challenge' have its detractors?
Sept. 16, 2014, 9:49 a.m.
Throughout July and August of this year, social media users were inundated with an almost constant stream of short videos featuring people from seemingly all walks of life dumping buckets of ice water on their heads. This trend, known as the âALS Ice Bucket Challengeâ, went viral in an effort to promote awareness for the disease known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. It soon became a most unlikely pop culture phenomenon, with various celebrities, politicians and athletes performing the challenge and posting their videos online.
On August 29th, the ALS Association announced that the total donations resulting from the challenge had exceeded $100 million. For this reason, it would appear that it would be difficult to criticize the campaign, but it certainly has not been met without any detractors.

Obama's plans indicate the real goal is regime change in Syria
Sept. 15, 2014, 5:07 p.m.
Gowans compares the shoddy rebuilding of Iraq to the huge Gulf State injections of cash to Iraq's ISIS enemies. U.S. 'trainers' for Iraq are really liasons to keep an eye on their weak client.
Meanwhile, U.S.-backed rebels degrade and destroy Syria, a country that is fighting ISIS. Why is it okay in U.S. parlance for 'moderate' Wahabi extremists to cut heads in Syria, but not American heads in Iraq?
Now, we witness U.S. media manufacturing consent for an attack on Syria by obfuscating who is doing the headchopping there. Hint: It's not the Syrian government.
