Donald Drumpf Theatre Volume 187 Slow and Low

An original radio theatre show each week, with most sounds culled from the previous week, about a fictional, theatrical presidency. Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines. The definition of "radio theatre" is stretched here, with an updated Dickie Goodman and/or Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style sometimes, and a more straightforward take other weeks. Currently airing on 30 or 40 stations around the world, the network has ordered another five months of episodes. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.

What Game is Macron Playing in Lebanon Crisis?

The recent cataclysm in Beirut is being used by the usual neo-colonial suspects to try and pin the blame for the catastrophe on Hezbollah. Hezbollah, of course, had nothing whatever to do with the disaster since it had no influence in the Port of Beirut. Hezbollah is a popular movement in Lebanon, responsible for driving the Israelis out of the country over a period of 18 years of armed struggle (1982-2000). Today, Hezbollah is a very popular political party in many parts of the country, and a large party of the majority bloc in the Lebanese Parliament. Hezbollah is also part of the Resistance Front versus Israel and the USA, a front that also includes Iraq and Syria. Just hours after the cataclysm, President Macron of France made a triumphal tour of the ruins in the port. He promised aid, but "NO BLANK CHEQUES." He demanded that the Lebanese pledge to reform their government first. Apparently, Macron has forgotten that France, as the post-WWI occupier of Lebanon, created a sectarian confessional form of government that ensured that minority Christians would remain in power and no national unity would ever emerge. Lebanese and Western foreign media immediately lauded Macron and suggested that France assume control of Lebanon under trusteeship. Lebanon has been under political and economic attack long before the Beirut explosion. Macron's visit may be a foot-in-the-door for a Western humanitarian intervention under the guise of "aid," something similar to the turning of Libya into a failed state in 2011. The French and Western actions towards Lebanon should be understood in the context of destabilization efforts that have toppled a number of West Asian countries in recent years. Hours after the explosion, hundreds of Syrian ambulances filled the highways into Lebanon, although Syria itself is under Western attack. The Syrian government also dispatched planeloads of supplies to the Lebanese Red Cross. Contrast this to Canadian PM Trudeau, who said he would send a few million in aid to Lebanon, but not to the government or Red Cross. Instead, it would only go to "Trusted NGOs." It should be remembered, in the words of Syrian President Assad, that the day on which France was pushed out of Lebanon was the day it began conspiring to return.

Wagner, Sally Roesch — Suffragist, Matilda Gage, Almost Jailed for Voting

This program is about Matilda Joslyn Gage, who lived from 1826 to 1892 and was a vibrant and leading figure in the suffragist movement of that century. Matilda Joslyn Gage, an outspoken leader for women’s rights, and an advocate to abolish slavery and religious bigotry, became historically invisible in pursuit of her liberty to think and speak as she thought proper. She was threatened with jail for voting in New York in 1871, and later was inducted into the Iroquois nation after publicly declaring Christian theology to be a primary source of the oppression of women. Historian and chautauqua scholar Sally Roesch Wagner, who portrays Matilda Joslyn Gage, brought Gage into the limelight by creating the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation, based in Fayetteville, New York. The Gage Foundation is dedicated to educating current and future generations about Gage’s work and the power of her work to drive contemporary social change. I met with Sally Roesch Wagner in the studios of Radio Curious in December 1996. Our conversation began when I welcomed Matilda Joslyn Gage to Radio Curious. The book Matilda Joslyn Gage recommends is “The Secret Doctrine: The Synthesis of Science, Religion and Philosophy,” by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. The book Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner recommends is “Women, Church and State,” by Matilda Joslyn Gage. This program was recorded in December 1996.

Michael Mann: Agency and Urgency (re-broadcast)

Back in 1999, a team of scientists published a graphic depiction reconstructing northern hemisphere temperatures for the previous 1000 years. The steep increase from the 1900s on inspired the scientific community to give this visual a clever nickname: the hockey stick graph. This week on Sea Change Radio, we sit down with Michael Mann, the lead researcher on that study that introduced a generation to the notion of climate change. He is widely published and has received a number of awards, the most recent being the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement in April of 2019. In our conversation, we talk about why academics should bust out of the ivory tower, examine the climate change denial movement, and explore how the adage, “the best defense is a strong offense,” has served him well.

Max Blumenthal with Michael Spath

This week we feature a conversation with one of the truly great investigative journalists of our time, Max Blumenthal. To guarantee his independence as a journalist he founded the Grayzone Project (thegrayzone.com), which allowed him to cut ties with the controlling corporate media. Because of that, his reporting is less exposed in main stream media, which too often refuses to accurately cover such areas as Venezuela, Syria, and of course Palestine. His books include The 51 Day War: Ruin and Resistance in Gaza (2015), Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement that Shattered the Party (2009), Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel (2013), and The Management of Savagery: How America's National Security State Fueled the Rise of Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Donald Trump (2019). So here is the intrepid Max Blumenthal in conversation with Michael Spath of the Indiana Center for Middle East Peace.

Free Meng Wanzhou, escape from US hegemony

Phil comments on the foreign policy of the Canadian Parliament. Wherever the U.S. is starting a fire, the Canadian government wants to be pouring gasoline on it. Everybody falls in line without a word of caution. There are a number of demands we need to make, including for the release of Meng Wanzhou. She is not only a Chinese businesswoman, but also someone who is involved in Canadian economic development. Meng Wanzhou has been detained in Canada to please the Trump administration. Although the U.S. has complained repeatedly about China's successful COVID-19 response, it is undeniable that there is much to be learned from the array of strategies China employed. The way we have treated China is evidence of Western parochialism: why don't we invite them to share their experiences? They do all over the world. Instead, we accuse China of stealing COVID-19 science, when we haven't demonstrated any science to steal. Phil Taylor and Tony Leah discuss this issue and more, including India's Kerala province's standout performance, and the Globe and Mail's pathetic coverage of China's politics. Nathan Vanderklippe argues that China is expunging Western thought. They might want to ask themselves if that rejection also includes the Western-originated universal system of Marxist socialism.

DNC Blocks Medicare for Al

Its shameful as hell says the pro-single-payer Healthcare-NOW of the DNC Platform Committee's vote against Medicare for All with Benjamin Day, Executive Director of Healthcare-Now Benjamin Day, executive director of the pro-single-payer organization Healthcare-NOW!, says its a matter of life and death to rally behind a single-payer healthcare plan after the DNC Platform Committee overwhelmingly voted down an amendment that would have inserted support for Medicare for All into the Democratic platform, which is set to receive a final vote at the virtual Democratic convention next month. Many hundreds of delegates are speaking out now with clarity to insist that Medicare for All belongs in the Democratic Party platform, says Day "[t]hey are correct to never waver in this fight for healthcare as a human right. During the last few months, millions of people in the United States have lost their jobs. They should not lose their healthcare along with their livelihoods.
