National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service
July 1, 2018, 10:25 a.m.
This event, one of several but elusive "public hearings", likely to justify new legislation from Congress for conscripting youth into the military or publicly funded corporate purposed nonprofit training programs, all euphemistically branded "service" to the nation. This hearing was themed "Pathways to Employment".
Panelist selected by the commission work with Veterans and prominently African-American youth on Chicago's south and west sides through NGOs. One is a commentator on the most widely listened to radio station in Chicago's black community, WVON 1690AM.
The audience of, aprox 40, was composed of people representing NGOs seeking additional funding for their "good works" and opponents to compulsory registration, selective service, nationalism and US militarism. Several traveled from out of state to attend and testify; one even reminding the Commission that the most recent U.S. wars were based on lies and deception. Praise for military "service" was regularly expressed from the front of the room, as if mindless and amoral obedience is not its subtext. Witness the experience of Chelsea Manning and James Snowden and the venom they received from the government for what in reality was heroic and selfless service. Funding for citizens and the commons in what still claims to be a democratic republic experiences the "Israeli diet", while the Pentagon and Death Enabeling Corporations engorge themselves on public money at a vomitorium known as "national defense".

Settler-Colonialism and Genocide in Canada
June 30, 2018, 10:15 p.m.
Siegfried Barazov and Brendan Campisi discuss the brutal reality of settler-colonialism in Canada. From Residential Schools that kidnapped and brutalized aboriginal children to the Reserve system that reduced their peoples to desperate poverty, from pipelines built on stolen land to hollow apologies from a government that continues to run roughshod over treaty rights and the self-determination of indigenous peoples, colonial genocide was and continues to be the order of the day in "British North America".
Sanctions Against Syria Are Illegal and Destructive War by Other Means
June 30, 2018, 7:55 p.m.
Sanctions are not very visible or alarming when viewed from abroad, but their effects are equivalent to military intervention. Stephen Gowans discusses how the sanctions on Syria are illegal and incredibly harmful, despite the pretexts employed by the Anglo-American coalition. The U.S. has subverted rules regarding sanctions, and hardly anyone is brave enough to publicly stand up to them.
Gowans ties the sanctions regime to Washington's long war on Syria, partly motivated by Syria's socialist policies. Syria has the right under the United Nations to pursue its own form of development. Meanwhile, countries who are allied to Saudi Arabia have the temerity to sit in judgement and call Syria a regime. The overall Western intervention contributes to the refugee crisis.

Welcome Home Rally for Survivors of Chicago Police Torture
June 29, 2018, 4:03 p.m.
Speakers and performers listed in notes.
Program to welcome home people convicted and imprisoned - some sentenced to death - as a result of the systemic use of torture by the Chicago Police Department to obtain confessions.
Torture and framing of Black and Latino youth by corrupt, criminal cops took place over a 40 year period and still continues, tainting the entire department as perpetrators are protected by the Fraternal Order of the Police, and a code of silence rarely broken. Chicago's merchant and money elites prop up the majority of alderman who have failed their oath of office by continuing to protect the existing order where corrupt cops operate with impunity and cops that obtain confessions with torture are kept on the force.
This program celebrates 45 years of Unity, Organization and Struggle in the fight for justice, human rights and an end to the impunity that has existed under the corrupt political power structure that Chicago suffers..
Survivors of police torture, cultural performers, a little history on how the United Nations was brought to bare when the racist Mayor and States Attorney refused to prosecute criminal cops , and an acknowledgement of the unique women, the founding members of the Alliance, precede the key note by Angela Davis.

If The Dutch Ruled The World (re-broadcast)
June 29, 2018, 11:19 a.m.
When liberal politicians suggest we look for policy-making inspiration from social democracies in Europe, the automatic reaction from some corners of the political scene is something like âwell, then, move to Sweden!â or âLove it or leave it!â There is no reason that we canât take lessons from other systems in our collective pursuit of a more perfect union, not to mention a more healthy environment. This week on Sea Change Radio we take a peek at how the Dutch do things. Host Alex Wise speaks with two American environmentalists based in the Netherlands to get their perspective on Hollandâs environmental policies and practices. Michael Payne, a wind energy and bicycle advocate, and Mike Fawcett, the founder of Farm Zero discuss the cultural, economic, and financial keys to Dutch sustainability.
Highlights from the Poor People's Campaign against Poverty, Racism & Militarism in D.C
June 29, 2018, 10:55 a.m.
Highlights from the Poor Peoples Campaign against Poverty, Racism & Militarism in D.C.
featuring the poor, the disenfranchised, the marginalized -
we the people!
The Moral Agenda, which has been guiding the last 40 days of actions, calls for major changes to address systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy and our distorted moral narrative, including repeal of the 2017 federal tax law, implementation of the federal and state living wage laws, universal single-payer health care, and clean water for all.
With the Capitol behind him, in a city fraught with partisan politics, Rev. Barber laid out his vision for the Poor Peoples Campaign in his gravelly preachers voice. The rally followed 40 days of protest and civil disobedience across the country, but Barber wanted the crowd to know that day was not the end of anything " it was to be the beginning of a moral uprising across America.
And, even though the day marked 50 years since Resurrection City, which was when thousands camped out in the same place to decry the plight of the poor, Barber also made it clear that they were not there to celebrate an anniversary. This is not a commemoration of what happened 50 years ago, he said. This is a reenactment and reinauguration.
