Ilan Pappe: There is still Time to Stop the Gaza Genocide
Oct. 18, 2023, 3:21 a.m.
The bombing of Gaza by Israeli planes and missiles had just begun when Barat and Pappe had this conversation on October 15, 2023.
Ilan Pappe is best known for his book: ‘The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine’ Oxford, 2006. It is the history of the 1948 Palestine-Israel War and how around a million people were expelled from their homes at gunpoint, civilians were massacred, and hundreds of Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed. Pappe used newly declassified Israeli documents to prove that ’transfer’ aka ethnic cleansing - was an integral part of a carefully planed strategy in the 1948 war that led to the founding of Israel. Ilan Pappe is Professor of History at the University of Exeter, UK.
Frank Barat is a journalist, producer, and activist. He has worked on books with Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappe, Angela Davis and others. You can watch the 28 minute video of this interview under the title: There is still Time to Stop the Gaza Genocide on Frank Barat’s YouTube channel.

Zac Unger: Looking Polar Bear Endangerment In The Eye (re-broadcast)
Oct. 17, 2023, 10:47 p.m.
We have all seen the mournful image of an unhappy polar bear isolated on a melting ice floe. It conveys the doom of that one bear as well as his species, and implies that we are all headed in that direction if something is not done about global warming. Inspired by such images and his commitment to ecological conservation, this week’s guest on Sea Change Radio, Zac Unger, ventured up to the great white north to check out the plight of polar bears himself, up close. What he found surprised him. Embedding himself with scientists, Unger learned about how the bears are adjusting their diet, fasting periods and even breeding behavior in response to the warmer, longer summers that climate change is bringing. These adaptations, in conjunction with hunting prohibitions instituted late in the 20th century, have allowed the polar bear population to flourish.
The picture that Unger paints of this robust, adaptable species stands in stark contrast to the impression most of us have of the endangered polar bear. While some climate change deniers are exploiting Unger’s work to make their case, it’s important to keep in mind that his book, Never Look a Polar Bear in the Eye, also demonstrates that global warming is indeed happening, and that the only route to survival, for any of us, is adaptation. Unger’s journey and discoveries also raise questions about the eventual impact that the bear’s adaptations will have on polar ecosystems, and critically consider the changing role of scientists as advocates.
Episode 2023.00.0G. Dear 1968 GOP, Be Careful What You Wish For, The Breaking of an Institution

Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2023.00.0G
Dear 1968 GOP, Be Careful What You Wish For,
The Breaking of an Institution
With Clips from The White House Youtube Channel, Midas Touch, The Brookings Institute,
The 1968 GOP – well a, at the time, fringe portion in the 1968 GOP – received everything their heart desired; they now control the house, the caucus is now controlled by extremists, free market principles dominate the country politically and economically, the media is filled with conservatives from the E-suites to the reporters on the beat and the legislative fight against everything non-white is escalating resulting in to reversal of the black rights legislation passed that decade; with eyes dead set on reversing every New Deal measure passed three decades before. Further, individualism rules the day while the post-new deal bureaucratic growth has been drastically decreased with many previous expansions undone by lobbyist inspired legislation. With all they’ve gained, you’d think the GOP would be filled with competent governing personnel, but they aren’t, why? See the second point in the above list. These pro-Capitalist, Free Market extremists are nihilists dedicated to ripping apart the governmental institutions they have pledged loyalty too. This episode builds off these sentiments.
Music Used in the opening, Curtis Mayfield’s Think, Brandy’s The Definition and Marvin Gaye’s Inner City Blues or Michael Jackson’s They Don’t Really Care About Us.

Promo: Sloths
Oct. 16, 2023, 3:12 p.m.
Learn all about sloths with author Georgeanne Irvine from the San Diego Zoo, and biologist Sam Trull from the Sloth Institute in Manuel Antonio Costa Rica. Find out how we can all help protect sloths.
This episode comes with a hands-on Learn-Along guide which meets and cites US National education content standards for use in the classroom.
Sloths live in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, but Tornero lives in San Diego. A favorite at the San Diego Zoo, Tornero is the subject of Georgeanne Irvines latest book,Teaching Tornero: The True Story of a Sloth Superstar.
Georgeanne Irvine works in the publishing office at the San Diego Zoo, and has written more than 50 books about animals, but this is the first one about sloths. The kids talk with her about Torneros extraordinary life at the San Diego Zoo, and we learn a bit about the different species of sloths. Then, Jo from our Kids Crew reviews Teaching Tornero. The book is geared toward elementary aged kids, and is full of stunning photos of Tornero at the zoo throughout his lifetime.
Then we head down to Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica where we meet Sam Trull. She is a founder of theSloth Institute, a conservation organization dedicated to saving sloths who are orphaned, or injured.
Sloths in Costa Rica face numerous challenges, including electrocution from the commonplace, uninsulated electrical wiring used throughout the country. Sloths are also prone to becoming orphans as a result of their mothers being injured, killed, and the ever-shrinking habitat they call home. Even the loss of one tree can be devastating for a sloth population.
We learn how we can support sloths no matter where we live, by refusing to participate in invasive, exploitive sloth tourism. Sam Trull explains that anywhere people are allowed to interact up close, or pet sloths, they are actually harming the animals. Sloths are solitary, and the best way to enjoy them in the wild is to quietly observe them in the tree canopy while staying far away from them, or seeing them from the ground.
Learn about the Paleolithic Ground Sloth, a mega fauna that thrived on the American continent for millions of years until just 11,000 years ago, when humans made them extinct. You can learn more about ground sloths in ourFossilsepisode, and hear how they interacted with people in ourBrief History of the American Southwest for Kids podcast series.
This episode was written and produced by our Senior Producer, Christina Stella and Katie Stone, our Executive Producer. We recorded this show at the Outpost Performance Space in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with help from engineer Chad Scheer. Our Learn-Along guide was written by Lorraine Archibald.

As often is true with this podcast, I recorded the body before I compiled the audio clips you heard in “The Definition” section (yeah you didn’t know that’s why I put that there did you). This is important when listening to the body because the statements made were not influenced by any of the material presented, even the clip from Nelson Mandela – which I hadn’t heard before. The statements are crafted from thoughts I have had or thoughts I have compiled throughout the previous two decades. I began speaking about Russia’s attack on Ukraine, trying to unfold the confusion surrounding the tragic attack on Ukraine. I then move to the conflict in the state of, well in the United States the state would be called Israel but outside the U.S the state would be called Palestine. This was a very difficult episode to record and at multiple points I thought about abandoning it altogether because my statements are very much all over the place as I try to wrestle with the complex circumstances within each.

Sonic Cafe #359/Living In The 4th Turning
Oct. 13, 2023, 8:52 p.m.
Sonic café, that’s history repeating, from the Propellerheads, which is a perfect jumping off point for what this show is all about. Welcome to the café, I’m your host Scott Clark and this is episode 359. This time the Sonic Café presents the 4th Turning, the time we’re living in right now, and the final chapter in an eighty-year history block that’s been repeating itself for hundreds of years. Speaker and co-author of the 4th Turning Neal Howe is here to explain like our four seasons history also passes through four distinct chapters of roughly 20 years each and then repeats. The first chapter is the High, followed by the Awakening, then the Unraveling, and finally the Crisis, which is the 4th turning, and the period we’re living in right now. Neil will lay the whole thing out for us after the bottom of the hour. Our music mix is pulled from 47 years and is packed with tunes supporting our journey across history. We’ll here from Angels & Airwaves, The Buggles, Phantom Planet, Cheap Trick, Joe Walsh, Prince and of course many more as the Sonic Café presents the 4th turning, from our little radio café here on the Pacific Coast, here’s the Foo Fighters with Times Like These, and we’re the Sonic café.
