Immigrants and Refugees Welcome Here Rally
Dec. 28, 2018, 11:23 a.m.
Highlights from the No to Hate: Immigrants and Refugees Welcome Here Rally
* We demand a radical shift in U.S. immigration policy that recognizes the rights of all people, regardless of where they were born.
* We demand permanent protection for all undocumented immigrants.
* We demand immediate demilitarization of the US-Mexico border, an end to all deportations, and the abolition of ICE, without replacement.
* We demand a world that recognizes the free movement of people, not the free movement of capital.
Migrants from Central America - primarily Honduras - are making their way across Mexico to the US border seeking asylum, driven by poverty and violence. Like other groups of migrants before them, they are traveling in a caravan to keep each other safe and to bring public attention to the conditions they are fleeing and the enormous challenges of migration. Refugees are fleeing from the poverty and violence caused by economic and political US intervention like the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA).
As these migrants make their way north, Republicans have unleashed racist lies about the caravan, violent right-wing militias have vowed to take up arms against the migrants, and President Trump has ordered the armed forces to the border.
Anti-immigrant hate has long been the primary incubator of a deadly far-right movement that has been growing in this country. This is the same far right movement that lead to the deaths of Maurice Stallard and Vickie Jones, two African Americans gunned down by a white racist in a Krogers parking lot in Kentucky two weeks ago, and the 11 victims of Pittsburgs synagogue shooting, targeted both for being Jewish and for their work in support of refugees.
Thousands rallied in support of the migrant caravan and all immigrants, and refugees and all victims of bigotry and state violence. They pledged to fight back against the racist, violent rhetoric and actions of Republicans, and the weak-willed complacency of the Democrats' participation in destructive and repressive immigration policies. They cried out against the deep-rooted imperialism and intervention of the US in Latin America that has forced so many migrants to flee their homes.

James Douglass on JFK: Why He Died and Why it STILL Matters
Dec. 26, 2018, 4:37 p.m.
Originally recorded in Nov. 2013, Douglass says JFK killing has shaped events thru 9-11; how nixing US support for BoP, ending missile crisis thru secret messages to Khrushchev, his Vietnam withdrawal plan, outreach to Castro, got him killed; how CIA ran assassination & earlier attempt in Chicago; on role of Secret Service and the phony IDs CIA provided for shooters on grassy knoll; on the use of multiple Oswalds in Mexico and the US before and after assassination; of RFK Jr.âs speaking out against war machine that killed RFK. Please forward link to Noam Chomsky who still believes JFK was the worst of the Cold Warriors.
Jeff Blankfort:News/Op:Mattis, Media & Foreign Agents
Dec. 26, 2018, 11:31 a.m.
I begin with comments on the assassination of JFK and his frustrated attempt to get the American Zionist Council to register as a foreign agent and compared this to the prosecution of Michal Flynn and Paul Manafort for failing to register as agents for Turkey and Ukraine whose efforts were dwarfed by the work of the AZC which, after Fulbright's 1963 hearings on Israel's operations in the US through the AZC which then changed its name to AIPAC.
I go back to Flynn's real crime in the eyes of the Democrats, having given an interview with Al-Jazeera in 2015 in which he acknowledged the Obama administration's support of Salafists and Al Qaeda in Syra in conjunction with the Saudis, UAE, Qatar,,Turkey and factions of Israeli military.
I then go into Mattis' resignation and the praise for his actions in the New York Times and from there to Matt Taibbi's Rollin Stone article arguing that there is only one party in Washington, the war party.
I go from there to the positive of the government shutdown, that Israeli agent Ben Cardin's attempt to insert the bill making support BDS a crime for US businesses into the budget came up empty and that it was opposed by Sens. Feinstein and Sanders.
I conclude with the US threat to impose sanctions against Iraq unless it cancels it import of energy from Iran in 90 days whereas the president and generals who committed war crimes in Iraq should have been sent to the Hague for prosecution.

Rev. Leo Woodberry on Climate Justice (re-broadcast)
Dec. 25, 2018, 2:37 p.m.
How does one cultivate environmental activism in the deepest of red states? Is the current situation in the White House dividing Americans further, or expanding the progressive tent? This week on Sea Change Radio, we discuss these issues and more with the Reverend Leo Woodberry, a nondenominational pastor from South Carolina who is thoroughly committed to fighting climate change. Rev. Woodberry talks about his upcoming ten-state Justice First Tour, the upsides and downsides of raising awareness of climate change in the South, and the overlap between the Civil Rights and environmental movements as we mark the 50th anniversary of the passing of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
