Your Life is Their Toy - Part 15
Dec. 5, 2018, 4:47 p.m.
Summary: 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."

GM's Callous Tactics Should Spark New Strategies for Labour
Dec. 5, 2018, noon
Workers at General Motors Oshawa have plenty of experience with the auto giant, from strikes to plant occupation. Now, not for the 1st time, they are told the plant is going to be closed. GM has other plans.
Perhaps it is time to assess the options of labour, which can develop new plans for itself. Sid Ryan shares some thoughts about what they could be.

Asian Art Museum — The Dragon's Gift - Sacred Arts of Bhutan
Dec. 4, 2018, 8:17 p.m.
In this edition of Radio Curious we would like to take you to the country of Bhutan, East of Mount Everest and bordered by India and Tibet. Bhutan is a mystical kingdom considered by many as The Last Shangri-La. We visit "The Dragonâs Gift: The Sacred Arts of Bhutan," an exhibit which was displayed at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, California, in the spring of 2009.
We start in conversation with Therese Bartholomew, the curator of the exhibit who helps us to understand what inspired the exhibit and the trials and tribulations of transporting such valuable religious objects from monasteries at the top of Bhutanese mountains to the city of San Francisco.
We will also visit the exhibit itself and hear some of the ceremonies, meet the monks who have travelled with the exhibit and tour the museum docent Henny Tanugjaja.
Therese Bartholomew is the Curator Emeritus of Himalayan Arts at the Asian Art Museum San Francisco the book she recommends is âMy Life and Lives, The Story of a Tibetan Incarnationâ by Rato Khyongla Nawang Losang. We visited with Therese Bartholomew from her home in San Francisco on the March 27, 2009 and began by asking her what makes Bhutan and Bhutanese arts so special?

Richard Heinberg on Our Bonus Decade
Dec. 4, 2018, 5:15 p.m.
If you're someone who's curious about the geopolitical implications of carbon fuel and the ecological havoc it wreaks, you've probably come across some of Richard Heinberg's work. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with this senior fellow at the Post Carbon Institute who has authored over 13 books and regularly ponders the past and future of humanity and the earth in his Museletter. We discuss the global debt crunch, the search for tight oil, and the concomitant acceleration of climate change. Heinberg also tells us his thoughts on negative emissions technologies and regenerative agriculture, and explains why he refers to the past ten years as âour bonus decade.â
Vandana Shiva: Soil Not Oil, Special
Dec. 4, 2018, 2:57 p.m.
As we are becoming more aware that industrial agriculture is a major cause of greenhouse gas emissions that bring about climate change â Vandana Shiva and others are now making the case that restoring the soil, and recovering organic agriculture around the world can not only dramatically limit climate change but even has the capacity to sequester carbon back into the soil, that has been emitted in the past.
This is a 29 minute special based on the keynote speech by the Indian physicist, ecologist, seed collector, anti GMO and anti-Monsanto campaigner, and teacher of organic agriculture at the Soil not Oil conference in September 2015. Vandana Shiva is also an acclaimed author and founder of many vibrant organizations. Among them Navdania, that is serving more than 1/2 million farmers, teaches organic farming, and established 60 seed banks in 16 states across India. Shiva's full speech was broadcast by TUC Radio in December 2015.
In a life spanning local action and international politics, academic teaching and gardening alongside her rural neighbors Vandana Shiva has become an inspiration to many.
Her books include: Stolen Harvest, Earth Democracy, Biopiracy, the plunder of nature and knowledge, Water Wars, and Soil Not Oil. This book, first published in 2007, has become influential beyond itâs initial success because it addresses the most urgent issue of our time: Climate change.

In 1982, Dr. Leonard Peikoff published âThe Ominous Parallels: The End of Freedom in America,â which sounded a warning that the United States was moving âas Germany moved, in the same direction, for the same philosophical reason.â
That direction toward which we are moving is fascismâthe same poisoned ethos that drove Germany beyond the brink.
Most Americans are haughtily unaware or diffident about the reality that what happened in Nazi Germany is happening here.
To that point, Peikoff cites a number of dangerous trends: political parties devoid of principles or direction, each demanding still more controls; an anti-intellectual educational system that . . . creates students who can't read or write . . . students brainwashed into the feeling that their minds are helpless and they must adapt to âsociety,â that there is no absolute truth and that morality is whatever society says it is; a pervasive atmosphere of decadence, moral bankruptcy, and nihilist art.â
In the last two decades other warning signs have appearedâworship of the warrior; belief in the primacy of The Stateâboth attitudes deeply entrenched by terrorism or the threat of terrorism from without and within. And how much was executed with state complicity?
But beyond that possibility, Peikoff maintains that the deepest roots of German Nazism lay ânot in existential crises, but in ideasânot in Germany's military defeat in World War I or the economic disasters of the Weimar Republic that followedâbut in the philosophy that dominated pre-Nazi Germany.â Peikoff further contends that German Nazism âwas the inevitable climax of a centuries-long philosophic development, preaching three fundamental ideas: the worship of unreason, the demand for self-sacrifice [warrior worship] and the elevation of society or the state above the individual [statism].â
National Security and Individual Freedom - Part 3
Dec. 3, 2018, 11:23 a.m.
This is a series based on a speech given at Harvard across April 27 and 28, 1955, by John Lord OâBrian, whose government service on behalf of the people is impressive, and one need only search his name to get a sense about the issues he felt most deeply.
But no issue could have moved him more than the one to which he spoke at Harvard as part of the institutionâs venerated Godkin Lectures on the Essentials of Free Government and the Duties Of the Citizen.
Although it would have saddened him to find that his worst fears had been realized, OâBrian warned of the governmentâs use of terror or the threat of terror to induce its citizenry to relinquish its liberties for the specious promise of security.
And here we are.
