Ralph Nader Told You So
July 24, 2013, 8:33 p.m.
Ralph Nader said it all. He warned about the deregulation of the financial sector for a full decade before the 2007 crash. He warned about the hollowing-out of the U.S. economy following the adoption of corporate-driven globalization. He warned about the burning of the U.S. constitution from thirteen years of successive Bushbama governments.
Now, his extensive coverage of the key issues in America during this troubled century is available in book form, "Told You So: The Big Book of Weekly Columns." Occupy demonstrated that enough Americans care to make a difference. Nader's book offers the critique and prescriptions necessary to form a debate about where to move forward.

#658 - Countering Intelligence 1
July 24, 2013, 6:17 p.m.
The USA has 14 so-called "intelligence services". How "intelligent" are they, what "services" do they perform for whom? Who decides what they get up to? Who even knows? If killing is wrong, is it any less so if done for money behind pretenses of 'national secrecy'? What about helping pay for such acts, for example, by paying taxes? This week, a radio adaptation of Scott Noble's latest film uncovers more of the dark secrets of the security state, from the destabilization of the 1975 Australian government to the Nugan Hand Bank and the organization of global drug trafficking.

Here is a history and biography of the man who was searching for the Dolphin in the sea, "and sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me."

Peter Byck Discusses His Film "Carbon Nation"
July 23, 2013, 5:51 p.m.
Filmmaker Peter Byck believes that the issue of preserving the environment is truly non-partisan, that when you strip away all the political rhetoric and carefully-crafted media narratives, we all really want the same thing: clean air, clean water and cheap energy. Byck's 2010 documentary film, Carbon Nation, which features interviews with luminaries such as Richard Branson and Van Jones, tries to pick up where Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth left off, by focusing on an array of possible solutions to our reliance on carbon fuels and the warming of our planet. This week on Sea Change Radio, host Alex Wise speaks with Peter Byck about his film as they look at surprisingly simple answers to what often seem like insurmountable problems.

Voices for Virginia's Children
July 23, 2013, 2:15 p.m.
The Kids Count project collects quality-of-life data on each child in Virginia, and then Voices for Virginiaâs Children advocates for public policies (i.e. in the domains of early childhood care and education, foster care, alleviation of child poverty, and pediatric health -- especially mental health) that will improve outcomes for Virginiaâs children. Margaret Nimmo Crowe, Acting Executive Director of Voices for Virginia's Children, is leading the organizationâs Children's Mental Health Campaign, which has 60 participating organizations as well as grassroots education and outreach programs. Statistics show that 1 in 5 children will struggle with a mental illness, and in Virginia, thatâs 100,000 children and their families who will face not just the illness itself, but the stigma and the lack of services. The campaign also sees systemic social issues -- like entry into the juvenile justice system, substance abuse, homelessness, and school dropout -- as a frequent consequence of child and adolescent mental illness. Evidence shows that itâs most effective for the child and for society to provide appropriately comprehensive treatment when they first develop the illness. One state-funded pilot program will increase the level of community-based support services for childrenâs mental health, and here in Richmond includes a six-bed crisis center at St. Josephâs Villa. The campaign aims to increase the quality and reach of services and find solutions for these children, but also to change the public presentation of this issue and mobilize the voting community and lawmakers to effect policy changes that promote better care for kids struggling with mental health.
