The US Israel "Special Relationship" - Grant Smith on Weapons and Uranium Smuggling and Alison Weir on The History of Zionism
April 22, 2014, 7:55 p.m.
A brief history of un-prosecuted Israeli smuggling and espionage cases
by Grant F. Smith - AND
What every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine
by Alison Weir, founder of If Americans Knew
Alison Weir and Grant Smith were the lead organizers of The National Summit to Reassess the U.S.-Israel âSpecial Relationshipâ on March 7, 2014 at the National Press Club in Washington DC.
By strange coincidence one of the topics covered by Grant Smith became international news exactly as I was preparing his talk for broadcast on TUC Radio. On April 17th, 2014, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists released an article with the intriguing title: Did Israel steal bomb-grade uranium from the United States?â¨<http://thebulletin.org/did-israel-steal-bomb-grade-uranium-united-states7056>
The authors, Victor Gilinsky and Roger J. Mattson, had suspected that Israel, in the 1960s, stole the uranium from the Apollo, Pennsylvania, plant of NUMEC, the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation. They now credit the release of classified documents in March 2014, that contain much of the proof they were looking for, to the work of researcher Grant Smith.â¨Â
â¨Grant Smith is Executive Director of the Washington DC based Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy. <http://www.irmep.org/>For the past ten years he has been investigating the role of Israel and its domestic lobby, AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, in influencing US Middle East policy.
Â
Alison Weir is president of the Council for the National Interest, created by ambassadors and former Congressmen in 1989 and executive director of If Americans Knew. <http://www.ifamericansknew.org/> Thatâs a nonprofit organization she founded when she came to the conclusion that if Americans knew the history and present reality of Palestine under Israeli occupation US foreign policy in the middle east would no longer be so one-sidedly supportive of Israel. She writes and speaks widely on Israel-Palestine, and has given talks at Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, and Georgetown.

Richard Heinberg on the Anthropocene
April 22, 2014, 3:46 p.m.
There's a scientific debate afoot in geological and environmental circles about what to call the current time period. According to the International Union of Geological Sciences, we're living in the Holocene epoch, but many believe that the term "Anthropocene" would better reflect the impact that humankind has had and is continuing to have on the planet.
This week on Sea Change Radio, we discuss the Anthropocene with Richard Heinberg of the Post Carbon Institute. Along with host Alex Wise, Heinberg looks at why the terminology debate is more than just semantics, and examines a division among environmentalists - between what he has dubbed the "Techno-Anthropocene" proponents and the "Lean Green" movement.

Creating Government Accountability--A Grassroots Discussion on Bringing Change
April 21, 2014, 2:44 p.m.
On April 16th, 2014, I hosted a conference call on creating government accountability. There were three other people on the call: Lewis M. Shepard, a fellow Green Party member and cofounder of Cancer Action NY; Dale Pondysh, a North Country environmental activist and Daniel Flatley, a reporter for the Watertown Daily Times. There was a great feeling of people rising free of bad government and making progress toward replacing the bad government with good government on this call.
Lewis M. Shepard spoke about the failure of the United States government to protect Americans against asbestos exposure during a long period of time after it was known that asbestos exposure was causing serious harm to health. He compared government's downfall on asbestos with what is currently happening with mercury dental amalgams. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows the use of mercury amalgams when this practice has been banned elsewhere. The placement of a highly toxic neurotoxin in people's mouths goes against all common sense. Nevertheless, this practice continues because the use of mercury amalgams is a moneymaker for dentists.
Dale Pondysh shared a list of actions for which he would like to see government held accountable: wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; promoting unrest in the Ukraine; allowance of GMO products to be sold without labeling and failure to tax the most wealthy of Americans. He voiced the sentiment that this was far from what he wanted government to be doing.
I described my work of attempting to hold governmental public health entities including: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Cancer Institute and the New York State Department of Health accountable for their failure to warn Americans of avoidable chemical exposure cancer hazards. This work involved the publication of the Cancer Action NY report, "Disinformation Cancer Epidemic", which focused upon deceptive and incomplete public health messaging regarding dioxin exposure.
I stated my belief that legislation could serve to create government accountability. I provided details of three laws serving such a purpose. The first law would require that government employees and officials participate in on the record discussion of citizen complaints of failure to properly conduct government work. These recorded discussions would be the property of the citizen making the complaint. The recordings could be placed on the internet to raise public awareness of the work failure. The second law would establish a government office charged with investigating citizen complaints of failure to do work properly. The third law would give legal standing to any citizen wishing to file suit alleging failure of a government employee or official to properly do the work required in that position. This law would make government employees and officials personally liable for paying any penalties imposed by the court.
Daniel Flatley asked a most highly important question, why were Americans not taking action on the many problems of failed government? I answered that the people were struggling to deal with the immensity of the government failures. I stated that it was my belief that a strong social movement was growing in opposition to hydro fracking and that this movement might inspire citizen efforts to address other government failures.

Rev. Susie the Floozie's "Robigus Day" Special!
April 21, 2014, 2:27 p.m.
Join us as we celebrate April 25th, the feast day of the ancient Roman god of mildew, ROBIGUS! To the Romans, mildew was a serious threat that could result in poisoned, ruined grain stores, so it made sense to put a demigod in charge of the whole process. On April 25th, they threw a festival dedicated to Robigus wherein a red puppy was sacrificed in his name as a bribe. Hell, mildew is taking over my closets, and it seemed like a good idea to toss a little personalized appeasement his way. So I pulled a blast from the mildewed past and played BSTF #17 from April 23, 1994! But back then I wasn't only celebrating Robigus Day, but also the death of Richard Nixon--reason enough for a party in itself!
With a double-barreled musical assist by Oingo Boingo, a psychedelic wonder called "Loose Lip Sync Ships" by the Hogs, the Theme from GREEN SLIME by Charles Fox...and a very, VERY surprising turn by Evil Susie at show's end, one that struck me harder than one of her skillet blows. What the FUCK. Now I'm afraid to be left alone with her...

The Day The Earth Stood Still

KLAATU BARADA NIKTO⦠Put on your Gort Shorts! This week we delve into the (1951) Sci-Fi Classic THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL starring Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal. Considered by most to be the godfather of the genre, it tells the tale of Klaatu (Michael Rennie) and his robot protector GORT, who come to earth to deliver both a message and a warning â which will only be revealed when all the leaders of all nations unite. World politics being what they are in 1951, Klaatuâs demands are turned down and he is ordered to remain in quarantine. Klaatu escapes, taking refuge in a boarding house, where he poses as one âMr. Carpenterâ. There the benign alien gains the confidence of a lovely widow (Patricia Neal) and her son, Bobby â neither of whom tumble to his other worldly origins, and seeks out the gentleman whom Bobby regards as âthe smartest man in the worldâ, an Einstein-like scientist, Dr. Barnhardt. The next day, at precisely 12 oâclock, Klaatu arranges for the world to âstand stillâ , he shuts down all electrical power in the world, with the exception of essentials like hospitals and planes in flight in an attempt to get all of humanity to hear his impending proclamation⦠That and our Top 3 âMovie Robotsâ
