Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 154 He Is Impeached
Dec. 25, 2019, 9:08 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 10 episodes, but with impeachment cancellation is possible at any moment. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.

The Ramez Naam Plan For De-Carbonization, Pt. 1 (re-broadcast)
Dec. 24, 2019, 3:10 p.m.
Whether or not we use the name Green New Deal to describe a set of aggressive long-term policies that will help humanity in the fight against climate change, most rational people agree that the status quo is completely unacceptable. The potential of a Green New Deal is that it could pave the way for some great minds to devise concrete proposals for reducing greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with one of those great minds, Ramez Naam, a futurist and technologist whoâs crafted his own sort of Green New Deal. We delve into the nuts and bolts of Naamâs proposal and the problems itâs trying to solve, as he makes the case for why we may actually see bipartisan support for such a proposal.
Michael Parenti: Theocracy VS. Democracy - ARCHIVE
Dec. 24, 2019, 2:44 p.m.
Michael Parenti says that democracy can't survive under religious rule â whatever that religion may be. Parenti's warning in this archival recording is as timely and urgently expressed as it was when this speech was first given on April 12, 1987, during the second term of the Reagan administration.
This talk is also very funny. Parenti explains how God may be considered as a "founding father" and why Woody Allen calls him an underachiever. It is easy to extend this timeless analysis to the present circumstances.
With roots in a working class Italian district of New York City and a Ph.D. in political science from Yale Michael Parenti has become an internationally known writer and lecturer. He is the author of twenty-three books.

Thomas Sankara: The Upright Man
Dec. 23, 2019, 10:09 p.m.
Tonight's show shall focus on a true hero that I wish far more people knew about. If he was still with us today, he would have turned 69 on December 21st. As youâll see, Thomas Sankaraâs example as a revolutionary who fought against colonialism, imperialism, capitalism and racism remains absolutely relevant today, and contains lessons for us all as to what liberation means and what is necessary to achieve it in a world that remains dominated by an exploitative and unjust system that keeps billions of people under its boot heel.
Chemical weapons story springs leaks, Canadian media bury the story.
Dec. 23, 2019, 9:46 p.m.
Phil asks Yves Engler, author of the article "Media ignores explosive revelations about chemical weapons in Syria," why the mainstream media in Canada has completely ignored the collapsing official narrative that the Syrian government was responsible for an alleged chemical incident at Douma, Syria, April 7 2018.
Phil notes that Justin Trudeau at first called for an investigation to assign blame for the incident. Chrystia Freeland, however, immediately pinned the blame on Syria and Trudeau soon followed suit. Over 100 cruise missiles were launched at Syria on April 14, 2018 before any investigation took place.
Engler explains that the Canadian government has recently contributed monetarily to the OPCW, just as it gives voluntary contributions to the OAS and the UN Human Rights Council. These organizations are corrupted by these sizeable donations.
Tareq Haddad resigned from Newsweek because it refused to cover the whistleblower revelations from the OPCW over its questionable report on Douma.
Engler notes that in journalism school, students are taught to seek the truth. In practice, however, Canadian journalists of foreign affairs very quickly learn to parrot the media releases of Global Affairs Canada. Engler also reveals that the Canadian government funds Halal Systems, an early warning system designed to protect the US Coalition's proxy warriors in Syria from air attack, such as in Idlib. Vanessa Beely, he says, shows the White Helmets are the main operators of Halal Systems.

#616 -- The Matrix: A Further Exploration, Part 2
Dec. 22, 2019, 1 p.m.
Part 2 of an intriguing audio tapestry woven by Robin Upton from Unwelcome Guests' archival material. It's a fine exploration of how the forces that run the world *actually* operate in practice. And an exploration of the propaganda they generate to pacify and mislead the people.
Central to this tapestry is Richard K. Moore's fine essay, "Escaping the Matrix," read by Lyn Gerry. Woven around that are several other discussions that supplement, extend, and illustrate the essay's several points.

Movement for Community Control Of Police - Situation Report Chicago
Dec. 21, 2019, 1:57 p.m.
Human Rights Rally ahead of the refounding conference of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression in Chicago. Angelia Davis keynote address in 2nd part.
Following the welcome by the Vice President of the Chicago Teachers Union, Stacey Davis Gates, speakers include activist, old and new, who continue to engage against repressive authorities and white supremacy for the rights of their own communities as well as those of others; Puerto Rico, Palestine, Native American, Black , Latino and Chicago school children are mentioned. Armanda Schakelford whose son was tortured by John Burge detectives into confessing to a double murder speaks of her and his 28 year campaign to receive justice. His conviction now overturned, he remains incarcerated by a corrupt judicial system that offers him a plea deal but not a bond and the exoneration he is due.
Chicago is the fulcrum of a movement to bring racist policing to heel; to end police impunity and to implement democratic community control; the who, the what and how police interface with people in their communities and to plan for abolition. In Chicago the campaign is called CPAC, Civilian Police Accountability Council. With its roots in 1619 when people transported in chains to labor in the US were organizing to be free of those chains, as their decedents today fight to end
the crimes committed by racist police on themselves and community, in their demand to exercise their democratic right to control over the policing of their communities and an end to police impunity.
The CPAC movement has changed the political landscape in Chicago. Following the last election, 40% of the Chicago City Council support the Ordinance that would implement it.The coalition behind it has won historic gains for survivors of police torture and judicial complicity, both at the city and State level. It forced the system to charge and prosecute the cop who murdered teenager Laquan McDonald in spite of the smears and political bullying of the racist Fraternal Order of Police.
Speakers in this recording represent the 1st half of the program line up. Angelia Davis keynote in 2nd part.
