Strange Brew: Atomo Bean-less Coffee

Many people around the world wouldn't dream of starting their day without their coffee ritual. And they tend to be pretty particular about it -- what to buy, where to buy it, how to make it and when to drink it. But how much thought do they put into the coffee bean itself? The global popularity of coffee contributes to deforestation and erosion, and consumes enormous quantities of water -- some estimate that a standard cup of coffee eats up about 34 gallons of our planet's most vital resource. Furthermore, climate scientists are predicting that as the earth's temperature rises, coffee may become an untenable crop. But this week’s guests on Sea Change Radio want us to be able to keep our coffee rituals while at the same time radically revolutionizing the beverage. We talk with the co-founders of Atomo Coffee, Andy Kleitsch and Jarret Stopforth, about their quest to build the perfect cup of bean-less joe. That's right, they have created a lab-grown java-alternative with none of the environmental impact and all of the punch. We discuss some of the problems plaguing the traditional coffee industry, their process for creating coffee from scratch, and the challenges they face in getting their business brewing.

Dan Kovalik: U.S. pushing new Monroe Doctrine for Venezuela, Haiti

Phil interviews Dan Kovalik about his Canadian tour, and his new book, "The (U.S.) Plot to Control the World." Dan is focusing on Venezuela during his speaking tour. He discusses what the U.S. is up to, and how the Lima Group is undermining South American institutions. As in Haiti, the U.S. wants to lock Venezuela into its own contracts and arrangements, without regard to what locals want. CUPE in Canada is speaking up against the interference in Venezuela. As unions come to realize that the exploitation of people abroad also hurts U.S./Canadian workers, some are defending progressive governments from attack. Unfortunately, there is a political-party consensus in the U.S. and Canada that Trump and Bolton can do whatever they want to Latin America. But Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans are resisting. We should too.

Your Life is Their Toy - Part 23

Health and life are man's most precious possessions; and anxiety to preserve them is natural. It is not surprising, therefore, that they have been exploited since time immemorial. Every age has had its charlatans, quacks and medicine men. Much in the same measure as social organization has attained its highest pitch in the present era, the exploitation of health and life today has reached its zenith. Never before in history has there arisen such an extensive conspiracy about the problem of public health of entire nations, involving well-organized, opposing political and commercial groups. The consequence of this welter of exploitation is the sacrifice of human comfort, happiness, health and life. --Emanuel Josephson, 1941, "Your Life is Their Toy."

Jean Daniels, Austin Clarke, Leaders in Early Days of Anti-Apartheid Struggle.

In the late 1950s there were several individuals who began to organize the regular, nearly segregationist, institutions of Toronto. We need to remember them and the price they paid. When Geore("segregation today, segregation, tomorrow, segregation forever") Wallace was permitted to speak at Maple Leaf Gardens, Daniels and Clarke led a contingent of picketers. Clarke was knocked to the ground by a Wallace deputy. Norman Richmond remembers these anti-racist fighters from our past.

Out of the Smog, Into the Sea

New science says melting glaciers lead to a hotter world. Plus, episodes of glaciers and ice shelves falling into the sea can make the weather one year very different from the next. From New Zealand, ice-expert Nicholas Golledge joins us. But first, from California Dr. Robert Allen reveals pollution has hidden up to half a degree C. of warming. I think the two degree supposed "safe" line is already in the rear-view mirror. Prepare to live in a very different world.

Kashmir Rights Will Prevail Over Indian Army and Superpower Silence

Zafar Bangash has been in the forefront of the struggle to recognize the right of the people of Kashmir to determine their own fate. He reminds us that the UNSC took up the question of settling the status of Kashmir at the time of establishment of the new states of Pakistan and India. Kashmir was to have a transparent referendum under conditions of peace and non-interference. India reneged on the agreement. But the reality will not go away, and Kashmiris will win their right to self-determination.

Kevin Zeese, a lawyer and political activist who currently serves as co-director of Popular Resistance . Roger Wareham, Secretary General of the International Association Against Torture and member of the December 12th Movement "There is a great provocation led by the U.S. empire now in Venezuela. There's no doubt the world that it's President Donald Trump who wants to impose a de facto, unconstitutional government. It's a coup in Venezuela Against the people and democracy. President Nicholas Maduro Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro recently referred to Brazilian President Bolsonaro as a modern day Hitler, days after Brasilia officially recognized Juan Guaido, the head of Venezuelas opposition-run Congress, as legitimate president of Venezuela. Previously, Brazil and Venezuela had maintained cordial relations for over a decade thanks to friendly ties between Brazils Workers Party and Venezuelas Socialist Party. Now, Bolsonaro, a fervent anti-communist who has praised his countrys 1964-85 military dictatorship, has promised to target Venezuela. To discuss democracy at risk in Latin America and the far right moving in is Maria Lusa Mendona, director of the Network for Social Justice and Human Rights in Brazil, Kevin Zeese, a lawyer and political activist who currently serves as co-director of Popular Resistance and Roger Wareham, Secretary General of the International Association Against Torture and member of the December 12th Movement
