Journalist Goodman analyzes what's happening in Ukraine from a revolutionary communist perspective - the crisis there is not about who started it but is a clash of reactionary predators. Nothing good for the people can come out of what's going on now.

Testing the Waters - Our Radioactive Ocean (ONE of TWO)
March 25, 2014, 8:48 p.m.
In an age when the ocean currents are as well mapped as river systems on land there has never been any doubt that radiation flowing into the ocean at Fukushima would eventually arrive at the west coast of North America on the Kuroshio Current. It was just a question of time and what the risks might be once they arrived.
Canada was going to be the canary in the coal mine. The Kuroshio Current arrives there first and then branches down along the coast of the US. In February 2014 the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada reported at the meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Hawaii that they detected the radioactive signal as early as June of 2013.
Ken Buesseler from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts, whose initiative and fundraising sent a research vessel into the waters off Fukushima only 12 weeks after the accident in 2011, has made an appeal to federal institutions to take on the monitoring of water off the West Coast. He made proposals to NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to the EPA, to the Department of Energy, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and even NIST, the National Institute for Standards and Technology. They all declined, stating that this was not their responsibility.
The testing that has begun in February/March 2014 is a combination of crowd sourcing and academic work. Woods Hole does water testing along the Canadian and US west coast and scientists at San Diego State University in conjunction with the Applied Nuclear Physics program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have begun testing kelp for cesium 134 and 137, the signature isotopes of the Fukushima accident. They all rely on dedicated volunteer efforts to help fund and collect kelp and water samples. The results will be published on their respective web sites under Our Radioactive Ocean and Kelpwatch 2014.

Up next in the Q is the (1995) Jim Jarmusch classic DEAD MAN starring Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer and a wicked posse of cameos! This exquisite noir western tells the tale of William Blake (Depp), an accountant who leaves his home in Cleveland to accept a job in the frontier town of Machine. Upon his arrival he learns that the job has already been filled. Dejectedly, he enters a nearby tavern, ultimately spending the night with a former prostitute. A violent altercation with the womanâs lover leaves Blake a murderer â as well as mortally wounded with a bullet lodged dangerously close to his heart. From there, he flees into the wilderness, where a Native American named Nobody (Farmer) mistakes Blake for the English poet William Blake and determines that he will be Blakeâs guide in his protracted passage into the spirit world while a band of ruthless hired guns are close behind. Listen to see how (and if) the five of us make sense of it all⦠Plus our top 3 movie fugitives.

Lymph Node Institute's "Sleep" Show!
March 23, 2014, 1:58 a.m.
Shhhh... Doc Ellis and Doktor Bugbladder show their Lullaby League membership cards and proceed to scientifically lull you to into the arms of Morpheus...and what the hell, while you're out they have a few tests they'd like to run on you just for shits 'n' giggles. The good (?) Doktors pour their "special" genetically altered honey down your earholes while they discuss the whys and wherefores of stupidly vulnerable organisms who are compelled to regularly fall unconscious for hours at a time. But sleep is not solely about recharging your spent batteries...it's about getting the drop on yourself in a grudgematch from the darkside when the synapses click and your sleeping brain opens up and spews Dobbs-knows-what into your soul. Every sleep cycle is a crapshoot that carries the horrific uncertainty potential of dreams and nightmares. You either find yourself standing there in your underwear in your old 8th-grade school hallway and can't find your class...or else you're sucked into an infinite hell of psyche-searing, soul-consuming, brain-blistering madness. And you're in your underwear. Or even worse--you finally get through an unending shift at werk and go to punch out, and--hey, that's funny...the timeclock's ding sounds just like an alarm clock...
...and you wake up to find you really *are* at work.
And you're in your underwear.
