Aftershocks: A Nuclear Rebuttal

Last week on Sea Change Radio, we heard from someone who, despite the recent nuclear disaster in Japan, defended the continued exploration of nuclear power as part of the new energy equation. This week, we’ll hear an alternative perspective. Our first guest is solar power executive Danny Kennedy, who thinks that nuclear power is more of a problem than a solution, and that investment in renewable energy is a more practical, safer and far more reasonable approach. Then, Sea Change Radio host Alex Wise speaks with geophysicist Ben Brooks, a specialist in earthquake science who works with breakthrough technology in seismology and GPS. He explains what scientists now understand about the different types of earthquakes, and talks about the West Coast's vulnerability to the type of quake that recently struck Northern Japan.

Martin Luther King’s Economic Justice Agenda From Memphis To Wisconsin Forty three years ago, a struggle by 1,300 sanitation workers for economic justice brought Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to Memphis. On the eve of his death, hours after marching with the AFSCME sanitation workers, being denied the right of collective bargaining & facing down the armed forces of a city & state, Martin Luther King, Jr. declared: “work that serves humanity…It has dignity and it has worth.” WE ARE ONE Today in Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida and more than a dozen other states, well-funded, corporatist politicians are trying to take away the union rights Dr. King gave his life for.

Interview with Mohamed Zeki Mahjoub

Mohamed Zeki Mahjoub came to Canada to flee political persecution and human rights violations in 1995. Having been subject to repeated periods of imprisonment without trial, as well as torture in Egypt, he was eventually accepted as a refugee in 1996. He settled in Toronto, was married, and had two young sons. Then, in June 2000, Mahjoub was arrested on a security certificate. Once upheld by the court under a secret trial process, security certificates become a deportation order. Mahjoub, as an accepted refugee, has reasonable grounds to fear torture if deported to Egypt. In 2005, Mahjoub began a hunger strike, consuming water, juice and occasional broth, lasting 76 days and losing 110lb before he was hospitalised. In April 2006, Mahjoub, along with three other security certificate detainees, was transferred to the newly opened "Kingston Immigration Holding Centre", which was soon dubbed "Guantanamo North". The six-cell facility was opened specifically to detain security certificate detainees. Mahjoub, with two of the other detainees at Guatanamo North, went on hungerstrike in winter of 2006. He ended the 93-day hunger strike just before a February 15th 2007 Federal Court ruling ordering Mahjoub to be released. Some months after the ruling to release him, he was finally transferred from Guantanamo North to his home in Toronto. The conditions of his release were extremely severe, and in practice turned his home into a prison and his family into his prison guards. On 18 March 2009, Mahjoub returned to prison at Guantanamo North in Kingston. He could no longer subject his family to the intolerable and humiliating invasions of their privacy that the conditions of his house arrest required. After a protracted hungerstrike in 2009, Mohammad Mahjoub, then the sole prisoner at “Guantanamo North”, was released under house arrest in Toronto. In summer 2010, in a significant court victory, the Federal Court ruled that part of the "case" against Mahjoub was probably gleaned from torture, and could not be accepted by the Court. The extent of that finding, however, is still subject to closed door proceedings that Mr. Mahjoub cannot attend. The ultimate decision on what part of the case is based on torture may further delay the start of Mohammad’s “reasonability hearing” (the decision on whether to uphold the security certificate). The public face of that mostly secret process is slated to begin in October.

Abousfian Abdelrazik Declaration

Abousfian Abdelrazik - like Abdullah Almalki, Ahmad El Maati, Muayyed Nureddin and Maher Arar, other victims of a Canadian programme of outsourcing torture - was, according to documents released by the Department of Foreign Affairs, jailed on the recommendation of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) while on a visit to Sudan. Never charged, he was beaten, threatened and tortured during two periods of detention. In this context, Abdelrazik was interrogated by CSIS officials, and separately by Sudanese and French intelligence agents and the FBI. The Canadian embassy was instructed by the Canadian government that: "Mission staff should not accompany Abdelrazik to his interview with the FBI." Eventually released and cleared of all suspicion by Sudan, and even by the RCMP and CSIS in late 2007, his many attempts to return home to Montreal were repeatedly blocked.

Jose Figueroa and the human cost of Canada's refugee laws

Jose Figueroa is currently touring across Canada with his Canadian-born son as part of the "We are Jose" campaign, to reverse the May 2010 deportation order placed on him. For Jose's case, the government has chosen to label the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN) as a terrorist group, and, because of this, Jose's past participation with the FMLN decades ago is being used to label him a terrorist. But, is the FMLN a terrorist organization? Jose's case highlights problems with Canadian immigration law that has led to an unfair and wrongful deportation order against him, as well as many other refugee claimants. The impacts of this erroneous allegation against Jose, his family, and many others including Canadians and non-Salvadorian people, are serious. We are calling for your help.

How to Educate the Public About POPs Exposure Reduction Despite Corporate and Government Obstacles to Environmental Revolution

Cancer Action NY was founded in January 2000. Our purpose is twofold: (1) minimize the polluting of the environment with carcinogenic chemicals and agents; and (2) educate the general public on the subject of pollutant carcinogen exposure reduction. After over ten years of endeavoring to accomplish these significant changes, it has become evident that certain parts of our society are very much opposed to these changes. The corporations and the members of government who are allies of corporations are our adversaries. Most of the people who control corporations and government are driven by greed for money and social power. They oppose the pollution prevention and public education goals of Cancer Action NY because they have used chemicals in irresponsible ways to make fortunes and they want to keep the public in the dark about the poisoning of the Earth that they are responsible for. Two Cancer Action NY activists discuss the obstacles to change that exist in America and much of the rest of the industrialized world and what can be done to roll over top of those obstacles so as to create a total, spiritual, global, environmental revolution. We believe that good people talking to each other about bringing good change is the heart of environmental revolution. We believe that it is our duty to talk to lots of people about the need for a revolution that will take away the power of the corporations so as to render them incapable of continuing to poison the Earth. We believe that talking about the good environmental revolution will drive the evil ones out of their positions of power. We believe that this is the right path for regaining control of our government.
