Bruce Bartlett: The Roots of Wreckage

Today on Sea Change Radio we take a little timeout from all things sustainability to analyze how the Republican Party has led us to some very uncertain and dangerous times with a white supremacist occupying the White House. To help us dissect the roots of modern Republicanism, we hear from author and economist Bruce Bartlett, who worked for both the Reagan and George H. W. Bush administrations before defecting from the Party in 2003. We learn about Bartlett’s own political journey, debate the legacy of Ronald Reagan and discuss how this country’s conservative party has squandered an opportunity by not being the party of conservationism.

Daniel Ellsberg - The Doomsday Machine (TWO of TWO)

In 1969 Daniel Ellsberg secretly copied the plans for the United States – Vietnam Relations, 1945–1967, later to be published as the Pentagon Papers. What was not known widely until late 2017 is that Ellsberg also copied the top secret plans for nuclear war that he consulted on for the Department of Defense and drafted for Secretary Robert McNamara. Some of these papers, along with his first person report of the history of nuclear war planning, have now finally been published to high acclaim. The publication comes at an extraordinarily auspicious and dangerous time as nuclear tensions are mounting and the US president is challenging North Korea. This program begins with two excerpts from the Nobel Awards in Oslo. ICAN, The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, received the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of their efforts “to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons” and their “ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons”. ICAN is a coalition of non-governmental organizations in 100 countries. They are promoting the implementation of the United Nations Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty. This landmark global agreement was voted on in New York City on July 7, 2017. 
Daniel Ellsberg toured for his most recent book – The Doomsday Machine. Even though the book is in large measure a memoir Ellsberg is always being asked questions about the nuclear threats of the day, North Korea and President Trump’s public announcements about fire, fury and total destruction. Ellsberg spoke at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on December 12, 2017. He was being interviewed by Dr. Gloria Duffy, President and CEO of the Club. Ellsberg shows that the legacy of this most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization–and its proposed renewal under the Trump administration–threatens our very survival. No other insider with high-level access has written so candidly of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, and nothing has fundamentally changed since that era.

UNIFOR's Liberal embrace weakens labour unity

Phil interviews Sid Ryan, former president of CUPE Ontario and the Ontario Federation of Labour, who is seeking nomination as the NDP candidate in the Federal riding of Oshawa. Ryan talks disparagingly of UNIFOR's decision to invite both Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland as guest speakers at its national trade union convention. Ryan, author of "A Grander Vision," points out that the Trudeau government did not lift a finger to save auto jobs at GM Oshawa.

Immigrant Workers Terrorized in Mississippi ICE Raids

Immigrant Workers Terrorized in Mississippi Raids By Trumps ICE While He Grandstands in El Paso After Triggering White Nationalist Massacre! with Bill Chandler, Executive Director, Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alliance and Luis Espinoza, Central Mississippi Community Organizer While Trump was forcing himself on El Paso, a city that wanted no part of him, he sent his immigration officials to several Mississippi food processing plants where they terrorized thousands of workers. This ICE operation should be considered an act of terror committed against working families by the Trump administration, acting under the guise of profoundly unjust immigration laws inspired by racist and xenophobic contempt against people from Mexico and Latin America. Raids targeting workers who are fighting every day to care for their families are a waste of public resources that could otherwise be spent combatting the white nationalist terrorism that has claimed the lives of so many over the years, including the other week in Texas. As "Oscar Chacon, Executive Director of Alianza Americas said, We must redouble our efforts to protect vulnerable families. For we who are dedicated to social justice and human dignity we must step up to protect the families being attacked being attacked, they are our neighbors who make massive economic and cultural contributions to our communities and country.

TB 190816 Thunderbolt on Thunderbolt

This week’s radio show reveals a recent event that really sucked (and that’s saying something these days), I describe my hometown, we report on some mixed results in raising the minimum wage, we report on First Look Media censoring the Snowden Files — and for the feature piece we gaze deep into the Thunderbolt’s navel. (Be careful — you could get lost…) News from an angle you probably never considered before — perhaps for good reason. Only on the Thunderbolt…
