#250 -- Michael Ruppert on Peak Oil
Dec. 13, 2012, 8:45 p.m.
A lucid and interesting explanation of "peak oil" and its consequences. Ruppert convincingly argues THAT the problem exists, how large the problem is ( = very), and why we can't swap some other source of energy for the cheap, plentiful petroleum that USED to be available. Ruppert also shows some of the geopolitical results of peak oil--Cheney's top-secret energy panel, our war on Iraq, etc. But he ends on an optimistic note--sort of. From Chris Smith's 2009 film, "Collapse."

interviews Global Network's Bruce Gagnon
Dec. 13, 2012, 11:25 a.m.
Bruce Gagnon serves as Secretary/Coordinator of the Global Network. He has been working on space issues for the past 25 years and helped create the GN in 1992. His book, called "Come Together Right Now: Organizing Stories from a Fading Empire", was republished in 2008. For 15 years he coordinated the Florida Coalition for Peace & Justice. He was trained as an organizer by the United Farmworkers Union and is also a member of Veterans for Peace.
We talk to Bruce about saving Jeju Island of the coast of South Korea , Gangjeong residents have vehemently opposed by protesting daily and risking their lives and personal freedom to block a US military base being built on the small island. Since plans for the naval base were announced five years ago, 95% of Jeju residents have voted against the base and used every possible democratic means to block its construction. Yet their protests have fallen on deaf ears.
The South Korean government is willing to sacrifice the safety of the island residents in order to build this U.S. missile defense outpost as part of a provocative strategy to surround China. Jeju residents refute the claim that this naval base will improve the Korean peoples security; they know it will further destabilize the Asia-Pacific region and make the island a prime target for military retaliation. This base represents a dire threat to global peace and security and it is up to us to reclaim our democracies and put a stop to this insane paradigm of global capital expansion and corporate

Is Your Furniture Killing You? Toxic Flame Retardants Prevalent in Household Dust
Dec. 12, 2012, 6:50 p.m.
Scientists at Silent Spring Institute have found that flame retardants in common household products like upholstered furniture, textiles, and electronics migrate into household dust, and from there, into our bodies. The Chicago Tribune has reported that the average American is born with the highest recorded levels of flame retardants among infants in the world. The chemicals are linked to cancer, changes in DNA, hormone disruption, lowered IQ, decreased fertility, and hyperactivity. Such links are denied by the chemical industry, which has lobbied for years to get these chemicals into consumer products, backed by the tobacco industry, which promoted the flame retardants to avoid making cigarettes without accelerants. The Silent Spring study was published on November 28th in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
With Ruthann Rudel, senior scientist of environmental toxicology and director of research at the Silent Spring Institute, a non-profit based in Newton, Massachusetts that works to identify and break the links between toxins and womenâs health, especially breast cancer. Ms. Rudel directs the Instituteâs Household Exposure Study.
