Update on Immigrant Workers Terrorized in Mississippi ICE Workplace Raids
with
Marely Lopez, daughter of an immigrant worker family victimized by the Mississippi ICE raids who talks about the impact of this assault on herself, her family and her community now and in the future.
and
Bill Chandler, Executive Director of the Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alliance,
and
Luis Espinoza, Central Mississippi Community Organizer
Media throughout the country reported that while Trump was forcing himself on El Paso, a city that wanted no part of him, after his words and policies helped arm the white nationalists and triggered his massacre there, his immigration police storm trooped their way into several Mississippi food processing plants where they terrorized thousands of workers and arrested nearly 700.
One union president, Marc Perrone, of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union said of such raids: They tear hard-working men and women apart from their children, families, and communities. Its wrong. The people who do these incredibly difficult jobs have the right to due process, and to be treated with respect and fairness. These raids spread unmistakable pain among neighbors, friends, co-workers, and loved ones.
This ICE raid should be considered an act of terror committed against working families by the Trump administration, acting under 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 combating the white nationalist terrorism that has claimed the lives of so many over the years.
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 must step up to protect the families being attacked. They are our neighbors who make massive economic and cultural contributions to our communities and country.

9/11 Truth & Justice 18 Years after the Attacks: A New Study on Building 7, A Grand Jury Investigation and Fire Fighters Speak Out
Sept. 13, 2019, 10:23 a.m.
On this week's Global Research News Hour, we hear about legal and political strategies for advancing the call for a new investigation into the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks, based on the evidence that points away from the official findings. Richard Gage AIA of the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and Barbara Honegger of the Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry discuss the current political and legal strategies. We hear an excerpt from a presentation by New York Fire Commissioner and 9/11 First responder Christopher Gioia about area Fire Fighters' call for a new investigation at a September 11th news conference, and we hear from the lead author of a recent draft study on the collapse of World Trade Center 7.

Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 139 Return to Alabama
Sept. 11, 2019, 9:40 p.m.
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 15 episodes, but there are threats of cancellation. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.

Jeff Blankfort Final Program: 9/11 Revisited; Bolton Out
Sept. 11, 2019, 1:23 p.m.
On my final program, after nearly 19 years, I begin by thanking the station manager and program director at my station, KZYX, in Mendocino, CA who supported me back in 2001 when pro-Israel critics attempted to have me taken off the air and describe on air moment the day after 9/11 that silenced my critics.
I then speak about the negative impact of 9/11 on US society that would not have been possible without the âPearl Harborâ that the PNAC necons had wished for and note that at least half of Americans do not believe the âofficialâ story.
I went from there to a report in the March 27, 2002, weekly, The Forward, which described, in detail, the arrest of five Israelis, three of them Mossad agents, which would soon be rewritten and posted on the Forward site to put a positive pro-Israel spin on the story.
I report on the firing of John Bolton and the circumstances that made it possible and finish with a commentary on Avi Berkowitz, the Jared Kushner âprotégé,â who has replaced Jason Greenblatt in Trumpâs Jewish covey dealing with the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Episode 2019.06.02. A Clearer More Pronounced Chess Game Unfolds
Sept. 11, 2019, 6:15 a.m.
A composite episode containing many CWB Segments. After a brief introduction from yours truly, I play a cut from an often overlooked and forgotten documentary about the 2000 election, before basting the senses with a great Noam Chomsky clip on the two party political system â a telling clip where he sites international organizations begging America to âtry and act like a civilized countryâ. From there I speak on the notion of power as seen by the Moderate Left and the Radical Left; I speak about Joe Bidenâs symbolic nature, Andrew Yangâs ascension and Tulsi Gabbardâs removal from the 3rd debate stage. I try to connect these last three concepts to the chess board idea I began building in the first two episodes. I play a couple very important clips in between these segments, the first is from Status Coup while the second is from Mi Casa Su Casa. The clip from MCSC may be the most impactful as it contains an article which connects many prominent Democratic officials to âthe clubâ talked about by the late George Carlin. There is a bit more in the episode but Iâll allow you to discover that for yourself. Enjoy!
If you have any questions, comments or concerns please contact me at vphiamer.adis.ogaarwa@outlook.com
Please do not play this episode over airwaves without listening to it in its entirety, I didn't have time to edit out any swear words

Commentary: Sanctions are an imperial tool, so are invasions
Sept. 10, 2019, 7:33 p.m.
Phil Taylor and Phil Conlon discuss the U.S. policy of sanctioning everyone who disagrees with them, and also the invasion of Congo by Rwanda and Uganda. It's incredible that, following the dismantling of the Soviet Union and the "end of history," Zimbabwe, Angola, Cuba, and Namibia stood up to this imperialist invasion - and won.
Also, during Nixon's presidency, Gov. Ronald Reagan phoned him in a rage, and dropped a frenzy of racist comments while complaining about China's recognition by African countries.
Phil also evaluates the politics surrounding the tanker seizures in the Middle East.
Laura Cheek - At Home in Glacier Bay
Sept. 10, 2019, 5:14 p.m.
Some of the most studied glaciers in the world are found in Glacier Bay National Park located in southeastern Alaska. These expansive ice sheets cover approximately ten percent of the earthâs surface and hold eighty percent of the worldâs fresh water, ninety-nine percent of which can be found in Greenland and Antarctica. Due to gravityâs pull, glaciers shape and scour the landscape moving land and vegetation great distances as they slowly slide downward toward the sea. This glacial movement has created rich farmland, vast deposits of gravel and sand, and concentrated valuable metals, depending on where they glaciers have traveled. Glaciers also create deep valleys and fjords, like the kind seen in Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska. Laura Cheek was a national park ranger at Glacier Bay National Park in 1996 when this program was recorded. As part of her job, she boarded tour ships in Glacier Bay to discuss glaciers, what theyâre like and how theyâre formed.
Laura Cheek recommends âThe Island Within,â by Richard Nelson.

Karla Mendes on Brazil's For-Profit Fire Disaster
Sept. 10, 2019, 4:55 p.m.
The Amazon is burning. And weâre not talking about the ubiquitous online store, although profit and commerce are just as involved. According to preliminary data from the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE), deforestation of the Amazon rose 92 percent in the past year to 2,472 square miles â an area larger than the state of Delaware. And these fires, while posing a grave risk for wildfires, are not naturally-occurring. These are for-profit fires, intentionally set and on the rise, fueled by a right-wing government hostile to environmental interests. This week on Sea Change Radio, we get an inside glimpse into this environmental disaster with Brazilian environmental journalist, Karla Mendes. A Contributing Editor to Mongabay, Mendes explains how the new right-wing government in Brazil has paved the way for deforestation and exploitation by big business in some of the worldâs most pristine rain forests. Then, we cast our net to the archives and hear from sea forager extraordinaire, Kirk Lombard.
Joanna Macy - Interviewed by Extinction Rebellion
Sept. 10, 2019, 2:45 p.m.
TUC Radio is reporting on the work of the environmental direct action group Extinction Rebellion - aka XR. It was with extraordinary joy that I discovered that Joanna Macy, teacher and writer on environmental justice, Deep Ecology, and Buddhist practice is admired by XR and is engaging with them in dialog. Here is an interview of Joanna Macy by XR podcast presenter Jessica Townsend from August 27, 2019. This program also includes a reading of the iconic story of the Shambala Warrior - one of the most moving metaphors for our time.
XR refers to a book by and about Joanna Macy that will be released in April 2020. The title is âA Wild Love for the World: Joanna Macy and the Work of our Timeâ. The editors of this book give a beautiful summary of Macyâs legacy: âJoanna Macy's innovative efforts at the intersection of systems theory, Buddhist practice, and social and environmental justice have produced important developments in areas ranging from anti-nuclear activism and climate change to grief work and indigenous rights.â

Solidarity with Indigenous Land Defenders
Sept. 9, 2019, 10:21 p.m.
Brothers and sisters, Marxism-Leninism as a creed and as a way of understanding the world, stands for the complete liberation of working class and oppressed people from capitalism, colonialism and imperialism. Thus it stands in full solidarity with indigenous land defenders everywhere. From Muskrat Falls to Mauna Kea, real communists stand with those fighting for self-determination against the oppressive forces that must be defeated if the world is to have a livable future.
