Michael Parenti, The Supremely Political Court
Oct. 9, 2018, 11:33 a.m.
In his extraordinary 26 minute history of the Supreme Court Dr. Michael Parenti warned us in 1995 that this partisan, aristocratic institution might one day empower an autocratic president. It seems that time has come and two Trump appointees, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, can push the scales of justice in favor of their politics. Unless there is a groundswell to question and change the legal rules of that institution. Why is so much power being given to 9 unelected, non term limited judges.
Michael Parenti was born into a working class Italian family in East Harlem, New York City. He went on to receive his Ph.D. in political science at Yale in 1962. His academic career was cut short by his dismissal after he was arrested for protesting the US war on Vietnam. Parenti became an independent scholar, lecturer and author. And he remained an activist as well.
Over 20 years ago Parenti already pointed to the role of the court in concentrating wealth in the top 1 percent, and the way in which the Supreme Court expanded the power of corporations and laid the groundwork for what later became the Citizens United ruling of 2010.
And most dangerously, how the Supreme Court began to give power to the president in matters of foreign policy and national security that neither Congress nor the Constitution had granted. Parenti said: â... by Judicial Fiat the President could now do whatever he wanted in the absence of specific legislative prohibitions.â
The Supremely Political Court is part of the series: Democracy What Went Wrong , how the CIA, media, corporations, universities, police and the Supreme Court are threatening democracy and what might be done to meet challenge. The original series was produced by TUC radio in 1995.

Welcome to This Week In Palestine, where each week you will hear the Palestinian narrative, the Palestinian perspective, the Palestinian voice exploring the realities of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian homeland. You will not hear this narrative very often in the western media, which is why it is important that it is presented each week on This Week In Palestine. Your host is John Roberts.
This weekâs presentation features Rev. Graylan Hagler, a true force in the Black church, civil rights leader, and a long, strong voice for Palestinian liberation. For many years Graylan served a church in Roxbury, MA, but currently is Pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church in Washington, DC. Here he speaks at the Jerusalem Fund Palestine Center in DC.
Rev. Hagler describes some of his experiences in his recent visit, among them being ordered at gunpoint to show his "papers." He compares Israel's oppression of Palestinians with the USA's historic program enslaving African Americans, tearing their families apart, robbing them of sustenance, etc.

Devotees of Orwell and Huxley have endlessly debated whether one would likely be more accurate than the other in his dark view of the future.
Some think that oneâs prescience was necessarily the abnegation of the otherâs.
In these audios, besides discussing the wrong approach with which these books were presented in high school, treating them more as metaphors rather than credible forewarnings about the potential dangers looming in the future. The worksâ strong points are also advanced and treated as confirmation that Orwell and Huxley, jointly, were far more right than wrong.
But now that the days they envisioned are upon us, how much of their dim views have come and are coming to fruition? And are readers of both authors any more aware that their signature works were not fiction?

#553 -- Climate Change Hope (R)
Oct. 7, 2018, 11:09 a.m.
Australian climate scientist Tim Flannery reviews some new, cutting-edge approaches to restraining or halting global warming.
Flannery opposes risky "geoengineering" schemes. But the new, "Third Way" approaches, he says, are different. Based on natural processes, they actually remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
These new technologies--combined with a shift from fossil fuels to wind and solar power--give us some reason to hope that climate catastrophe may be averted.

Episode 2018.07. Cave-Oh-Nah A Stolen Supreme Court by Elements Planning for the Future!
Oct. 7, 2018, 3:25 a.m.
Heâs going to the Supreme Court â breath and let that knowledge sink into your mind. Twice in 18 years Republican-Fascists and their Conservative enablers have stolen the White House, details inside this two part unabridged podcast episode; in doing so they have crafted a court apparatus, conservative â sorry, Corporatist in their beliefs, to keep the country going down a dirty road where citizens, now dubbed consumers, are deprived of their basic civil liberties and rights (Welcome to the Ghetto European Serfs, yâall thought you had left that position when you boarded your ships for other lands, well you didnât â yet you keep backing those who have subjugated you for over a thousand years). In todayâs episode I discuss who did meddle in our elections and where the evidence lays to prove their guilt and I deal with the elephant in the room, the sexual misconduct/ abuse charges lobed at Kavanaugh. Hold on tight todays episode, while soft spoken, will twist your mind. Enjoy.

Episode 2018.06. Oaths Taken to Preserve Conservatism not the Country
Oct. 7, 2018, 3:18 a.m.
Sometimes conspiracies do occur. Watching the Constitutional Crisis unfold on television or should I say, listening to it unfold on the internet and radio; I found myself thinking about The Family â the right wing crazies who took oaths to do Gods will which seemed to be aligned with corporate will, while they operated in Washington. I wondered, as conservative after conservative pledged allegiance to the party towing line (to support this pathetic nominee to the Supreme Court), if The Family was at work behind the scenes in Washington Presently. While there is very little evidence supporting my theory, I nonetheless raise it as a possibility before talking about other Constitutional Crisisâ that have happened in the recent past, including the Election of Donald Trump and how his placement in the white house proved how dead the constitution was to the Elite in this country.
