P.T. Barnum & Doug Mishler - The Something of Humbug

PT Barnum, sometimes known as the Prince of Humbug, was born in Connecticut in 1810. In many ways, he personified the American character that Frenchman Alexis De Tocqueville described in his book, “Democracy in America.” Barnum delighted in making money and telling the truth, as he saw it. Some truths were told in the political arena, where he was twice a member of the Connecticut legislature and, in the interim, Mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Some of his truths were lies when they were told to other people, like the history of some of his circus performers. Other truths were told in his newspapers. PT Barnum, ‘PT’ as he liked to be called, was best known as the creator of the ‘Best Show On Earth,’ the Barnum and Bailey Circus. I spoke with PT Barnum, personified by Doug Mishler, in the studios of Radio Curious in July of 1996 when this program was originally broadcast. P.T. Barnum recommends “My Toils and Struggles,” the autobiography of PT Barnum. Doug Mishler recommends “The Culture of Complaint,” by Robert Hughes. Originally Broadcast: July 24, 1996

Rupert Read - This Civilization is Finished: So what is to be done? ONE of TWO

Dr. Rupert Read is teaching Philosophy at the University of East Anglia. He is a long time Green Party politician. In October 2018 Read declared himself a supporter of Extinction Rebellion, an environmental direct action group, and became a signatory of their open letters published in The Guardian. Vandana Shiva, Naomi Klein, Noam Chomsky, Bill McKibben and many more also signed on to that letter in support of Extinction Rebellion. Acting as one of Extinction Rebellion's spokespersons, Rupert Read gave a number of interviews on national news programs and was part of the Extinction Rebellion group invited to meet with the British Environment Secretary to discuss their demands. The following day the UK Parliament declared a "climate change emergency". Rupert Read was also one of over 200 academics to sign an open letter of support for the School strike for climate – a movement where children walk out of schools to demand action on climate change. In this talk Rupert Read explains that the Paris Agreement will fail and that we are facing a societal collapse. He goes through three scenarios.

India's Unilateral Step Only Deepens Kashmir Crisis

Phil speaks to Shah Ghulam Qadir, the Speaker of Azad Jammu and the Kashmir Assembly, a self-governing region administered by Pakistan, about India's unilateral removal of the special status of the part of the territory of Jammu & Kashmir it occupied. Mr. Qadir notes that the UN Security Council deliberated for a total of 19 minutes last week about India's de facto annexation of the territory, the first time it dealt with the question of Kashmir in decades. The international organization, however, will have to focus on the right of the people of Jammu & Kashmir to self-determination next month, according to the speaker of the assembly, because Pakistani PM Imran Khan will be traveling to New York to address the UN General Assembly in September.

What a Waste: Mark Murray Reveals Flaws in Recycling Systems

Many of us concerned with the environment are conscientious about sorting our garbage. Those of us lucky enough to live in cities with curbside recycling feel pretty good that the majority of our garbage is diverted from landfill. Well, before we get too smug about it, perhaps we should take a closer look at where that waste goes after it leaves our hands. For example, did you know that pretty much all paper milk cartons in this country are plastic-lined and therefore end up in landfills? Or that 15% of the paper we ship to China for recycling doesn’t actually get recycled? This week on Sea Change Radio, Mark Murray, the Executive Director of Californians Against Waste, reveals the garbage in our global garbage systems. We discuss what consumers, manufacturers and retailers can do to improve the current system, where gains are being made, and what areas are ripe for improvement.

China Resists U.S. / U.K. Hybrid War

Phil asks Chris Black, international criminal lawyer, about the protests in Hong Kong being labelled in the MSM a "pro-democracy" movement. Black responds that, under the century-long British occupation of Hong Kong, the inhabitants had no democratic voice in the colonial administration. Black explores the U.S. and U.K.-sponsored protest in H.K. as part of a hybrid U.S. war VS China, which includes Obama's "pivot to Asia" (a massive transfer of U.S. military assets to East Asia), Trump's trade war on China, arms sales to Taiwan (a renegade province of China), sending U.S. warships into the Taiwan Straits, the arrest of Ms. Meng in Canada, and the exclusion of Huawei from Western markets for 5G technology. Black also points out that the protestors' demands to sever H.K. from China have no basis in international law. H.K. was never an independent entity. It was a Chinese town seized by the British. And modern China, Black concludes, will never allow Hong Kong to be removed from its sovereign domain.

Episode 2019.04. Psychic Numbing Themselves Away from Harmful Truths

Is it delusion or Psychic numbing that is preventing some conservatives from seeing the mounting social problems we are experiencing. That is a question we must answer if we are going to move forward with solving the very social problems that some don’t want to acknowledge exist. We must first start with having conversations with those whom oppose us on an ideological basis, this will require our deep compassion when approaching them, for they have been taught to believe we are tricksters, miscreants and overall bad for the country. In todays podcast episode I talk about the problem facing many well to do people who are trying to speak honestly and earnestly about the issues afflicting this country presently.

#599 -- Gore Vidal on the US Garrison State

Progressive historian, essayist, and novelist GORE VIDAL is in fine form as--with much wit--he explains what's wrong with the United States. Spoiler Alert: The answer is, two fake political parties with essentially the same program; perpetual war that benefits only the military-industrial-political complex; the ruinous costs to the citizens of perpetual war; and rule by the financial elite. Sounds like he's got us pegged pretty well ... but he was speaking in 1982. Some things never change.

Innocent Demand Justice

Ester Hernandez speaks of how she found strength to fight for the release of both sons who were framed by notorious Chicago Police Department cop Reynaldo Guevara. Guevara has been implicated in framing 57 people yet never been held accountable by Chicago authorities. She speaks of the trauma she an other mothers deal with in Chicago where a corrupt Fraternal Order of the Police protects dishonest racist cops and the politicians have looked away. She supports an elected Civilian Police Accountability Council which would put an end to police impunity. She spoke at a meeting of Chicago Democratic Socialists of America about the work of her committee and experience. "The Committee has been organized to put an end to wrongful convictions. We have a long list of innocent men who have been wrongfully imprisoned for voluminous years due to civil rights being violated."

Winning a Civilian Police Accountability Council (CPAC)- Chicago Leads

Frank Chapman of the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (CAARPR), which has been leading the fight for police accountability in Chicago, spoke to members of Chicago DSA at a strategy meeting to help win a Civilian Police Accountability Council (CPAC). He provided a brief history of the role of the police from slavery to the murder of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, to present. He addressed the weaker alternatives Mayor Lightfoot has put forward, why CPAC is important to advocate for, and next steps for Chicago DSA in this fight. Chicago has the CPAC ordinance before the City Council, six solid alderman supporting and 7 others that campaigned in favor of it. Chicago's last mayoral election was historic for a number of reasons, one being how the grass roots campaign for CPAC influenced the results.
