#542 -- The Three Global Crises: How Should We Respond? (2) (R)
July 22, 2018, 8:47 a.m.
A well-researched and eye-opening talk by activist Vincent Emanuele. He explores the three crises that are making the world--at best--highly unstable. Then he suggests some steps that the people can take to make our uncertain future as livable as possible.
Since neither government nor business is likely to do anything positive about these crises, useful responses will have to come from the grassroots.

Yousef Munayyer's keynote address at the recent Balfour Legacy conference in Cambridge MA
July 21, 2018, 3:17 p.m.
Today we repeat the first of what will be five consecutive shows, each recorded at the conference titled "Balfourâs Legacy: Confronting the Consequences," held on 11-11-2017 at the First Parish Church in Cambridge MA. This conference commemorated the 100th anniversary of the so-called Balfour Declaration, a 67-word letter in 1917 signed by Lord Arthur Balfour, then Britain's Foreign Secretary. It's credited with setting in motion the creation of the state of Israel on Palestinian land, without consulting Palestinians.
We begin today with the keynote address delivered by Yousef Munayyer, Executive Director of the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (uscpr.org), [formerly named the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation (2001-2016)].
Munayyer explains that Balfour was racist and antisemitic as confirmed by his own words, and his support of the Zionist project was clearly motivated by his disdain for Jews, not to mention utter disrespect of Arabs. Balfour wrote to the British Prime Minister that "... We do not propose even to go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants of the country ... the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land."
The conference was sponsored by the Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine and the Trans Arab Research Institute. The quality of the presentations was impressive, and we want to bring you as many of them as possible over the next several weeks on This Week In Palestine.
We are indebted to our colleague Noble Larson for most of the recordings we'll hear from this conference. Like many old church sanctuaries, this one presents a big challenge for older listeners and recordists alike. Noble surmounted that challenge, obtaining signal from the official mikes. He produced videos of the entire proceedings, from which he gave us the audio. Those videos are currently online, as follows:

Trump Attacks 1.2 Million Federal Workers Represented by Unions
July 20, 2018, 3:34 p.m.
Post Janus: Trump Attacks 1.2 Million Federal Workers Represented by Unions
with
Joe Davidson who writes the Federal Insider, a Washington Post column on the federal government. He is a founding board member of the National Association of Black Journalists and is in its Hall of Fame.
Step two in Trumps attack on the public sector unions has begun with the implementation of his 3 Executive Orders seriously curtailing Federal workers union rights. These union are already prohibited from requiring workers to pay any dues or fees, cannot bargain over pay and are prohibited from striking. Now Trump's is declaring a federal workers wage freeze for the new fiscal year. Yet Trumps EOs go further by restricting union representatives access to paid time to represent workers, proposals making it easier and faster to fire workers under civil service regulations and revising the ground rules for negotiations for union contracts . Even before the executive orders were issued, the Education Dept unilaterally imposed a contract on workers who had rejected it. Nineteen federal workers unions have sued the administration to thwart the executive orders. They have also gained support from a bipartisan group of current and former members of Congress who filed a brief denouncing the presidents executive orders.
And these are but the first steps . Trump is promising more "reforms" before
the Nov.elections. Many of these efforts have been overseen by James Sherk, a former Heritage Foundation labor economist who joined Trumps transition team to tackle labor challenges. He now sits on the low-profile Domestic Policy Council. At Heritage, Sherk wrote policy papers on the need to roll back public employee labor rights. He helped Wisc. Gov. Scott Walker (R) engineer a plan to bust the states employee unions in 2011.

TB 180720 Truth & Reconciliation 2X
July 19, 2018, 6:52 p.m.
Rather than just constantly pointing out how much everything sucks â we also like to present solutions! The feature piece this week is about the Truth & Reconciliation process, which can often prove a viable alternative to violent upheaval. For an added bonus, we also describe a new social disease that I coined after a judge invented the term âaffluenzaâ to describe rich kids that are disadvantaged by unengaged parents and thus cannot be held fully responsible for their actions â whereupon I point out that the sufferers of âpoorfluenzaâ [sic] evidently just need to suck it up and face the consequences.
Solutions, ironies, and dumb jokes. Nowhere else except The Thunderboltâ¦
