#576 -- Capitalism vs. Reality, Part 2 (R)
March 15, 2019, 6:44 a.m.
Political scientist Michael Parenti refutes the claim that the "free enterprise system" (capitalism) promotes democracy and prosperity.
Part 2 focuses on prosperity. Drawing on the past 150 years of US history, Parenti shows that capitalism does not increase general prosperity. In fact it has brought regular recessions and depressions to ordinary citizens. Not "free enterprise" but massive government spending finally lifted America out of the depression of the 1920s and 1930s.

US Had the Motive and the Means to Attack Venezuelan Power Grid
March 13, 2019, 7:05 p.m.
We shouldn't dismiss Maduro's allegation that the U.S. sabotaged Venezuela's power grid. There is a double-standard in the West about 'conspiracy theories.' We are asked, without evidence to believe that Syria's President Assad gasses his own people, that Russia placed Donald Trump in the White House and is behind every nefarious thing in the world, and so on. Yet we are simultaneously told not to listen to foreign governments who are under assault from Washington.
We have two competing narratives on power failure in Venezuela. We know as a fact that the power went out in Venezuela. We also know that the U.S. has openly admitted to conducting cyber-warfare on countries such as Iran and Cuba. One U.S. analyst suggested that the timing and nature of Venezuela's electrical failure is straight out of the cyberwarfare playbook. It is therefore not inconceivable that Maduro is right.
We are living in a time in which the Monroe Doctrine is openly being touted in the highest offices and voices in America. This is a naked and illegal regime-change in Venezuela. And "rules-based" Canada is dutifully following Trump. The Organization of American States doesn't allow this kind of interference, so Canada is pretending it doesn't exist, and refers constantly to the "Lima Group" faction instead.
Gowans also discusses the regime-change scripts and institutions Washington uses. Guaido was likely trained at one such organization. Behind it all are big investors, who seek to control Venezuela's oil resources.

Jeff Blankfort on Ilan Omar. Kamala Harris, Nikki Haley
March 13, 2019, 1:40 p.m.
Today, I began with Tom Friedmanâs 2011 comment that Congress was bought and paid for by the Israel Lobby and that Ilhan Omar was saying essentially the same thing but has been subject to unrelenting attacks for telling the truth. I note that the very existence of AIPAC and the fact that half the members of Congress attend its conventions is prima facie of that than go on to quote from a talk Israeli agent Elliot Engel, chair of House Foreign Relations Com, gave to fellow Zionists on election eve, boasting of his support for Israel and also note that thanks to llhan Omarâs actions, the NY Times wrote about pro-Israel âstealthâ PACS and how AIPAC works.
I also point out that the Congressional Black Caucus resisted Pelosi on the fumbled resolution against antisemitism that had been demanded by NY Jewish congress members, Engel, Lowey, and Nadler.
I then play talks by Kamala Harris in 2017 and Nikki Haley last year to AIPAC to give listeners a sample of what they will not hear or see elsewhere unless they go to CSPAN.
I finish with announcement that Netanyahu has taken the JudeoNazi Otzma Yehudit party of Kahanists into his coalition and that AIPAC has, for the first time, invited a settler leader to its March 24-26 annual meeting.

Ilhan Omar, GOP Cited for Hypocrisy; Safety Net for Incarcerated Women Returning Home

How well do we know the history of our nation? As for our Founders, what is fact? What is myth? While we have been told we are free, we face an increasing onslaught of laws, edicts, and proclamations governing our lives as American citizens. We have been told that âwe need to get our Constitution back.â Do we truly need to do that?
We are, during every election cycle, given a âchoice.â But is it a real choice? Or a Hobsonâs choice? Were our Founders the godlike, towering figures we were taught? Were they above reproach? Or were they human beings, subject to the same avarice, temptations and lust we all are?
What were their motivations in starting this country? Were they benign in nature, inspired to offer their fellow countrymen âlife, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?â Or were there other instincts at play?
Was the Constitution truly designed to be the bulwark of freedom? Why were the Articles of Confederation jettisoned? Who were the Anti-Federalists? Why did they get such short shrift by history? What was the worth of the Founders? Were they Everymen? Or rich elites?
The answers, when explored from an âunofficialâ vantage point, may surprise you.
Listen along as Eric the Blacksmith discusses American history with Al Aric and Theo. Current events are interspersed. Explore the nooks and crannies of suppressed information as the book âHologram of Libertyâ by Kenneth Royce is reviewed and its bibliography examined.

Jeremy Hance: From Bottleneck to Breakthrough
March 12, 2019, 5:22 p.m.
How do you usually react to the stream of dire warnings about climate change and wildlife extinction? Does it motivate you to do more to make a difference, or does it submerge you into depressed inertia? This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with environmental journalist Jeremy Hance about his ongoing series for Mongabay which shines an encouraging light on the future of our planet's flora and fauna. Hance outlines the Bottleneck-to-Breakthrough theory and looks at the driving factors that may save our species and others from extinction. Who knew that earth science prognostications could actually serve as an antidote to climate change malaise?

Extinction Rebellion ONE of TWO - Dr. Rupert Read
March 12, 2019, 4:10 p.m.
In October 2018 about one hundred academics signed a call to action. They established Extinction Rebellion in the United Kingdom. The movement has become international with Naomi Klein, Vandana Shiva and Noam Chomsky signing their support to the second letter.
The goal of Extinction Rebellion is to use non-violent resistance to bring about radical change to prevent climate collapse, loss of biodiversity and to reduce the risk of human extinction.
Dr. Rupert Read is teaching Philosophy at the University of East Anglia. He is a long time Green Party politician and a former Green Party spokesperson for transport.
He spoke on February 6, 2019 at the University of East Anglia.
