Repeat: The End of Ice & Other Threats to the Planet: Climate Change with Paul Beckwith & Dahr Jamail

On a week when youth around the planet are mobilizing strikes for ‘climate action,’ the Global Research News Hour highlights the major indicators of a natural world in crisis due to global warming. In the first half hour, following a short report on a local (Winnipeg) youth activist event, University of Ottawa based climate systems scientist Paul Beckwith outlines some of the more worrying signs that even the October 2018 IPCC Special Report on Climate Change failed to adequately address, he looks at the threats to the polar ice caps and the role they play in regulating familiar weather patterns, and he assesses some of what needs to be done to avoid multiple ‘tipping points’, and a ‘Hothouse Earth’ scenario. In our second half hour, wilderness adventurer, independent journalist, former Iraq War correspondent, and Truthout staff writer Dahr Jamail navigates listeners through The End of Ice, his recently published book on climate change.

For Rwandan Refugees There is a Presumption of Guilt

The recent trial in Boston of a Rwandan refugee for alleged crimes in 1994 is a sad commentary on the tendency of western courts to make presumptions about guilt or innocence--much influenced by Washington's embrace of General Paul Kagame and Hollywood melodramas that are entirely fiction.

RIP Medical Debt! As medical costs rise to unspeakable levels, so does un-payable medical debt, but we can stop the hemorrhaging and save the patient.

RIP Medical Debt! As medical costs rise to unspeakable levels, so does un-payable medical debt, but we can stop the hemorrhaging and save the patient. with Co-Founder and Director/Education and Outreach RIP Medical Debt Jerry Aston and comedian, writer, producer, political commentator, actor, and television host John Oliver Medical debt has destroyed the financial stability of large segments of Americas most vulnerable communities: the sick, the elderly, the poor, and veterans. It also particularly targets the middle class, driving many families who are barely getting along into poverty. 1 in 5 people living in the U.S. are grappling with medical debt; Nearly 50% of all credit card debt in the US is from medical debt; Medical debt contributes to 60% of all bankruptcies in America; and More than 40% of Americans wouldnt be able to cover an emergency expense of $400 Now the story of the amazing Charity, RIP Medical Debt, which has quietly worked over its 4+ years in existence to accept public donations with which to go to the debt market to purchase over $500,000,000 (a half-billion!) in unpaid and unpayable medical debt only to forgive those debts. RIPs intention for 2019 is to abolish ONE BILLION DOLLARS in such debt. And, now theyre going public, by way of End Medical Debt, to equip every one of us with the education and tools we need to end medical debt once and for all.

Nidal Al-Azraq of 1for 3 on the preservation and sustainable use of the limited water that Israel leaves for Palestinians

This week we focus on water … the water crisis in Palestine. As most of us know, Israel has expropriated most of Palestine's water resources for the benefit of its Jewish population, including settlers in the West Bank, feeding their households, swimming pools, lawns, and other whims. A tiny fraction is still allowed for Palestinians. We have as our guest Nidal Al-Azraq, Executive Director of the organization 1for3. 1for3 works year-around to develop models for the preservation and sustainable use of the water still allowed to Palestinians. Nidal grew up in the Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem, but currently lives here in the Boston area with his wife and 2 children. We sat down with Nidal to talk about his work here and in the Aida Refugee Camp. Please consider joining us at the Walk for Water sponsored by 1for3, which aims to raise money for these very important projects in the West Bank that Nidal has been talking about. The Walk is May 4th in Cambridge. To get information and to register for the Walk, browse to 1for3.org. You can do something to mitigate the water crisis in Palestine by joining the Walk for Water. Before we go, we take a look at Israel's latest military assault on Gaza, which took place in mid-March. Israel again overreacted to rather harmless rockets that they claimed were fired by Hamas, although Hamas has denied it. This is the latest in a long list of bombardments that Israel has rained on Gaza in the last several years. We play a response that puts the issue in perspective by Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada, speaking on Al-Jazeera.

Andrew Weiss - Ellis Island: Who Arrived There, Why and What Was it Like

Between 1892 and 1956 about 12 million people immigrated to the United States through Ellis Island, in the harbor of New York City. Who were these immigrants? Where did they come from? What was the experience of getting to Ellis Island and what happened to them once they arrived? In this archive edition of Radio Curious, we visited with Andrew Weiss, who I met in 1992 when he was a tour guide at Ellis Island, working for the City of New York. I spoke with Andrew Weiss in November of 1992, when he was a doctoral candidate at Columbia University and a teacher at Barnard College in New York City. I asked him to begin by telling us about the history of Ellis Island. Originally Broadcast: November 23, 1992

The Authoritarian Absurdity of the U.S. Constitution TWO of TWO

This is the conclusion of Part ONE of the talk by Paul Street, an independent radical-democratic policy researcher, teacher, journalist, historian, and author of seven books. In this talk, that he gave at the Open University of the Left in Chicago in March 2019, he offered arguments and proof that the US constitution is not the sacred document protecting the "Peoples Rights”, but on the contrary is authoritarian and anti-democratic by design. After a summary from Part ONE the topics in this part TWO range from problems with impeachment, the Supreme Court decisions equating money with speech and with the Democratic Party neo-liberal tendencies. Conversely the formation of a third party is also made near impossible under the restriction of the constitution. However Paul Street says that electoral politics, constitutional interventions, congressional investigations and Muller reports are not the only or even the leading politics that matter. He ends with an enthusiastic endorsement of what can be done. Among his recommendations: Take to the streets, go on strike, occupy workplaces, idle capital, besiege corporate headquarters, protest corporate media, prevent pipelines and ecocide. Form grassroots movements, defend immigrant, provide sanctuary, oppose the racist police, learn from the Yellow Vests in France and the Extinction Rebellion in England, engage in civil disobedience, make movements fun again, hold workshops to show what capital and industry are doing to a livable ecology, - people are doing this. But, Paul Street concludes, we should also be calling for a new national government and a new national charter. Paul Street’s essays and commentaries have appeared in a wide variety of media such as CounterPunch, Truthdig, Black Agenda Report, the Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, and CNN to name only a few. And he is the author of seven books.

Mystery History Theater - 12

Booth hopscotches through the Northeast, Quebec, the Caribbean and obtains a passport through the British Consulate in San Francisco, having “appropriated” the identity of British immigrant John B. Wilkes, then of Terre Haute, Indiana. Three women recount the time they spent with Booth after his “death.” Booth’s reputed wife Izola is aided by another “dead” man in her efforts to join Booth in San Francisco. Booth’s treachery knows no bounds as he cuts Izola adrift on the Pacific from the ship he commissioned to take them to India. She survives. Years later, Booth as Wilkes returns to the United States for a brief time with his last wife, the former Elizabeth Marshall Burnley of England. After Booth’s death, she writes a series of letters importuning U.S. Grant—whom she had met in 1877in India during his post-Presidential global tour—to release Booth’s frozen assets for a dispersal among her, her daughters, three other women and the children they bore him. Booth, as John B. Wilkes, “believing death to be imminent,” executes his will, Sept. 12, 1883, in Bombay, India, and is buried in Guwahati. The will is certified and probated in the U.S. and its instructions followed. The real John B. Wilkes, formerly of Sheffield, England, dies in Terre Haute in 1912.

Falter: Bill McKibben's Latest Warning

Environmentalists have been talking for a long time about the threat to the planet. Now, a prominent voice is directing our attention to a related threat: he says our very humanity is in peril. This week on Sea Change Radio, we welcome back author and environmental leader Bill McKibben. The founder of 350.org, McKibben most notably spearheaded the resistance to the Keystone Pipeline and launched the fast-growing fossil fuel divestment movement. His new book is Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? While his thesis may seem grim, the book includes a call to action and engagement. In our conversation we discuss the new book, how climate change activism is disrupting right wing plans, and what people can and must do to advance and support a sustainable future.

Afro-HyperNormalisation: An Indigenist Deconstruction on 'Post-Revolutionary' African-America and the Internalisation of a Racialised Colonial Culture(s) Expressly Designed to Eliminate It

SUMMARY: 4thWorldRadyo host @TheAngryindian offers a spoken word analysis of why North American civil society is failing and asks why so many Africans (and Indigenous Folk) are willing to accept the capitalist controlled, inner-city 'Reality Television/Urban Ghetto' social theme(s) and the foolish acceptance and illogical normalisation of gang culture in Black and Brown America as a rational alternative to mainstream Anglophone society. EXTRAS: Selections from our extensive library of archived political audio, including a public discussion with Bro. Dhoruba bin-Wahad and a smattering of pro-Progressive; anti-violence PSAs. All this and much more on, 4WR. The official Internet radio broadcast of the Aboriginal Press News Service
