INTERVIEW: Denis Moncada, FM of Nicaragua
Jan. 2, 2019, 1:12 p.m.
After the failure last year of yet another attempt to incite a coup in Nicaragua, the US is now attempting to use the Organization of American States to seek the removal of the elected government there. Article 20 of the Inter-American Democratic Charter authorizes consideration of the internal affairs of another member nation only "in the event of an unconstitutional alteration of the constitutional regime that seriously impairs the democratic order in a member state."
Nicaragua's sitting government was duly elected in open elections under international monitoring. All reports were that the elections were free and fair. The President in the last past election (2016) won by a majority of more than 72%. The National Assembly shows similarly strong support (65+%) for the majority Sandinistas (FSLN). The constitutional order remains in effect.
Nevertheless, this past December 28th, the US - through the Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro - requested an urgent meeting of the Permanent Council with the purpose of acting under Article 20 of the Democratic Charter against Nicaragua, claiming that there has been an alteration of the constitutional order.
We discussed the matter with the Foreign Minister of Nicargua, Denis Moncada, via Skype from Managua, Wednesday.

The End of the Twins, a Memoir of Losing a Brother
Ever wondered what it would be like to have an identical twinâhow alike would you be to that person? How much of an individual would you be? Saul Diskin and his identical twin brother Marty grew up together in New York City where Saul and Marty were inseparable. As adults, they began to live separate lives, Saul in Phoenix and Marty near Boston. In 1991, Marty, who had suffered from leukemia for 20 years, needed a bone marrow transplant, which he received from Saul. In his extraordinarily intimate book, âThe End of the Twins, a Memoir of Losing a Brother,â Saul Diskin chronicles the rich relationship beginning with their early childhood and ending well past Martyâs death in 1997, shortly before their 63rd birthday.
Saul Diskin recommends âEntwined Lives,â by Nancy Segal and âCosmology and Creation: The Spiritual Significance of Contemporary Cosmologyâ by Paul Brockelman.

Ignacio Chapela: The Story of Corn (TWO of TWO)
Jan. 1, 2019, 5:25 p.m.
The contamination of the cradle of corn with genetically engineered seeds -
Ignacio Chapela from the University of California, Berkeley discovered that genetically modified corn had contaminated the cradle of corn in the remote mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. The Zapotecan Indians have cultivated corn there for over 10,000 years.
In Part TWO Chapela questions why a biotech company can take out a patent on a living seed after making minor changes in the DNA. He also warns of horizontal gene transfer whereby an engineered gene from one organism may enter the genome of another species, including humans.
Ignacio Chapela is now (2018) associate professor of microbial ecology at UC, Berkeley.

Sara Flounders joins the program to discuss her popular article, "Why the U.S. Threatens China." It has taken on greater relevance in the context of Canada's arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou.
The 'trade war' isn't simply about trade: it's about the larger issue of the United States trying to contain China's overall economic rise.
China wasn't supposed to succeed. It was supposed to be a giant sweatshop to sew t-shirts and assemble iPhones. Now, because of socialist planning, it is thwarting U.S. attempts at subjugation, and building a rapport with others who have been colonized and exploited.
The U.S. is unable to compete economically with China in many sectors. Flounders describes how in its ongoing attempt to 'pivot to Asia,' America is leveraging its military advantage to put pressure on China.
