Helen Caldicott and Michael Madsen: Into Eternity TWO of TWO

Oct. 8, 2019, 12:07 p.m.
This is the conclusion of a conversation between Helen Caldicott and Michael Madsen whose film, Into Eternity, premiered in the US in February 2011. Helen called Madsen "One of the more extraordinary people I've ever interviewed". This is a thought provoking exchange between the veteran campaigner, Helen Caldicott, who dedicated her life to alerting us to the nuclear danger, and the young Danish artist. He introduces thoughts about civilization, language, danger and eternity. Into Eternity is a documentary about the building of the world's first permanent repository for nuclear waste in Finland. It shows not only the construction under way that will take 140 years, but introduces the people involved, the scientists, regulators and corporate executives who oversee this project. None of them will be alive when Onkalo, as the repository is called, will be finished in 2120; and they must expect this repository to remain intact and untouched by future humans for at least 100,000 years. Such is the danger and longevity of waste from nuclear power plants.

The very latest on Iraq, Syria

Oct. 7, 2019, 4:25 p.m.
Phil interviews Zafar Bangash, editor of Crescent International, about Trump's dramatic announcement of a U.S. troop withdrawal from Syria. In addition, Phil questions Bangash about the street demonstrations and rioting in Iraq's capital, Baghdad. According to Bangash, observers in the streets of Baghdad report that snipers are firing on both police and demonstrators, in exactly the same manner as snipers did in 2011 in Daraa, Syria, at the beginning of the war, (and as they did in Ukraine's Maidan Square in 2014, we might add). The sniper's purpose is to escalate the conflict into a regime-change operation. A catalyst for these riots occurred when the Iraqi Prime Minister demoted a top Iraqi general who was being touted by the USA as a coup leader for Iraq. Zafar also describes an attack on the Iranian consulate in Basra. The purpose behind it was to foment sectarian violence between Sunni and Shi'a.

Episode 2019.07. Climate Change Deniers Go Insane Over Words from a Girl

Oct. 6, 2019, 12:12 a.m.
When Greta Thunberg set sail for America she might have had an idea that her presence in the land of liberty and freedom (hem), would create a fierce backlash from those industrial interests who see her as a threat to their prerogatives, Little did she know, the backlash she would encourage was so devastating harsh, it would not only echo from every corner of Conservative media, but would impactfully dismiss and smear every young person who her presence inspired. They became unwilling dupes in a financially profitable Democratic game, spearheaded by non-scientists, who saw environmentalism as simply a way to make government bigger and corporations bow down to. . . .tyranny (I think). The arguments were laughable, but ultimately inciteful within NeoConservative circles. In this episode I share with you a number of thoughts I had concerning this reaction, including how ancient mythologies instruct my vision as to whom these business people are and why they act the way they do.

Another Rwandan Opposition Leader Murdered in Broad Daylight

Oct. 5, 2019, 6:57 p.m.
Apparently, the Kagame leadership in Rwanda is becoming more insecure. In recent weeks, workers for the opposition parties, especially those of Victoire Ingabire, who served 8 years in prison for daring to run for president, have been killed or disappeared. Of most interest is the fact that the "pro-democracy" West remains tight with president Kagame, which reveals that his crimes have their approval.

Striking Auto Workers Need and Deserve to Win Big!

Oct. 4, 2019, 4:34 p.m.
Striking Auto Workers Need and Deserve to Win Big! with JR Baker, President of Power Train Engine UAW Local 774 in Tonawanda, NY and Mike Elk, Senior Labor Reporter and founder of Payday Report and Nelson Lichtenstein, director of the Center for the Study of Work, Labor and Democracy at the University of California Anyone who understands the need for the United States to reduce its stratospheric levels of economic inequality and to give its workers a boost into the middle class has to be rooting for the United Auto Workers (UAW) members on strike now at General Motors (GM). The UAW union members organized a strike against GM in an effort to improve wages, reopen idled plants, add jobs and narrow the pay difference between new hires and veteran workers. Meanwhile GM is pushing its employees to pay a greater portion of their health care costs, and to increase work force productivity and flexibility in factories. Striking autoworker President JR Baker said striking is uplifting because were making a stand. Were not accepting concessions from a company posting billions of dollars of profit. And because were all together, theres safety in numbers. Were standing up for ourselves in solidarity. The UAW union went on strike at G.M., sending nearly 50,000 members at factories across the Midwest and the South to picket lines. Strikers are hoping to make up ground lost since the UAW agreed to two-tier wages in 2007, followed by the Great Recession and the auto bailout, when GM got $50 billion from the taxpayers and even more concessions. There are also 550 janitorial workers that do sanitation and 'non-strategic' facility work on site that are on strike as well, who havent seen a raise in years. These workers top out at $15.18 an hour and are UAW members within the same local. GM has hired third-party companies to come in and do sanitation and facility work, so there are now scabs at the work sites as well.The auto industry remains crucial to the economy, counting some 220,000 people who work to manufacture cars. According to the Alliance of Auto Manufacturers, the broader vehicle industry supports 9.9 million jobs and historically accounts for about 3 percent of gross domestic product, so youd better bet that a win, indeed a big win for the UAW would be a shot of adrenelin for the union movement and its up to us to get on board that union train standing in Solidarity Forever!
