Jeff Blankfort: News/Op: 911, No. Korea, Iran, Israel, AIPAC

Blankfort, noting 911 memorials, wonders if there were moments of silence for the millions of victims of America's response, citing Gen. McCrystal's unnecessary concern that Americans would care. They don't. He points out that while questions remain about “official narrative” for 911, debates and discussions about it are barred from mainstream and equivalent alternative media while no one pays attention or cares that there have been no trials for those in Guantanamo accused of masterminding the attacks and that none are planned. Blankfort reports on new sanctions on No. Korea and explains why US threats of economic sanctions against China if it doesn't do more to bring Pyongang to heel are hot air since US is so in debt to China in terms of debt and reliance of Chinese imports that any move against Beijing would bring down US economy. He then quotes from Nikki Haley's speech at AEI in which she trashes Iran and advocates against maintaining nuclear pact with Iran and lies wildly about Hezbollah at a time when Israel is conducting war games on Lebanon's border. He points out that a reported threat from the State Dept. to ask Israel to return $75 million that it had asked for and received in violation of the MOU between Obama and Netanyahu in which Israel would receive $38 billion over 10 years while promising not to ask Congress for additional funds, which Netanyahu ignored, turned out to hold no teeth. He concludes by mentioning a photo of Sen. Lindsay Graham cuddled with Sheldon Adelson and Haim Saban and then PLAYS a minute long promotional message from AIPAC.

Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 35

Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 35 I'm No Communist. An original radio theatre show each week, with most sounds culled from the previous week, about a fictional, theatrical presidency. Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines. The definition of "radio theatre" is stretched here, with an updated Dickie Goodman and/or Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style sometimes, and a more straightforward take other weeks. Currently, the network has ordered another 15 episodes, but there are threats of cancellation. Anyone who would like to contribute to the show, should contact info@wgxc.org.

John Trudell: WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A HUMAN BEING (TWO of TWO)

The many remembrances that were written about John Trudell after his passing on December 8, 2015, showed the extraordinary width and depth of his engagement. Most know of his music and poetry, or of the films that he participated in. Not everybody knew that up to 1979 writing and performing was not even a thought or plan or dream of his. In this part TWO John Trudell opened with a surprising analysis of the practice of voting for the lesser of two evils and continued with thoughts about democracy, technology, and dominance. Trudell described Columbus as one who did not know what a human being is, and tried to activate ancient memories of those who arrived with and after Columbus and their long submerged links to their own tribal ancestry that was erased by the Inquisition. Respect and responsibility are the leading values Trudell referred to and he asked what the repercussions of the fears and doubts and insecurities are that we experience in today's culture. John Trudell spoke in March 2001 at a benefit for the U’wa of Columbia who were resisting oil drilling on their ancestral land. He died on December 8, 2015. Trudell had someone make one final post to his Facebook page 13 hours after he passed. It read, simply: “My ride showed up” “Celebrate Love. Celebrate Life” John Trudell
 February 15, 1946 – December 8, 2015

Aaron Huertas on the Purveyors of Disinformation

Disinformation. It sometimes manifests in theatrical shows of ignorance, like Senior Republican Senator James Inhoffe bringing a snowball to the Senate floor as “evidence” that global warming is a hoax, or the persistent denial coming out of the ill-informed head of the current president that Harvey and Irma are unrelated to climate change. But where does the disinformation start? Sometimes the seeds of willfully inaccurate right-wing talking points are planted by more mainstream conservative thinkers like George Will, Rich Lowry, Peggy Noonan, or the latest star of the right wing elite, NY Times opinion columnist, Bret Stephens. Under cloak of sophisticated language, these opinion columnists bury grains in the fertile right-wing psyche that grow into dangerously thorny vines of falsehood. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with DC-based science communicator, Aaron Huertas, to discuss what disinformation Bret Stephens has sown lately regarding the climate. We talk about Stephens’s disregard for solutions that could fight climate change, examine the weaknesses in his research, and ponder what motivates him to reach his simplistic and misleading conclusions.

Deir-ez-Zor is a Milestone in Liberation of Syria

Phil Taylor comments on the liberation of Deir Ezzor after an epic three-year siege. The U.S. war on Syria has been supported by the biggest collection of lies in recent memory. Phil recalls the turning point in 2013, when Obama's strike on Syria was cancelled, as the U.K. parliament rebelled against it. "They took a deep breath and counted to ten." Russia let it be known it would not allow another Libya. Unfortunately, many dangerous elements remain in this conflict, from U.S./Israeli strikes and provocations to the Al-Qaeda types cultivated by NATO.

Dreams Deferred

Dreams Deferred with Oscar A. Chacn co-founder and executive director of Alianza Americas (formerly known as National Alliance of Latin American & Caribbean Communities), an umbrella of immigrant'led and immigrant serving organizations based in the United States of America, dedicated to improving the quality of life of Latino immigrant communities in the US, as well as of peoples throughout the Americas. Oscar served in leadership positions at the Chicago based Heartland Alliance for Human Needs and Human Rights, the Northern California Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, the Boston based Centro Presente, and several other community based and international development organizations. Oscar is a frequent national and international spokesperson on transnationalism, economic justice, the link between migration and development, migrants integration processes, human mobility, migration policies, and U.S. Latino community issues and Chia Chia Wang, the organizing and advocacy director for the American Friends Service Committee Immigrant Rights Program, whose goal is to achieve policies that respect the rights and dignity of all immigrants, including a fair and humane national immigration policy. and Our Dreamer Issac, born in Ghana and a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) beneficiary he tells his story and puts a human face on those who seek equal rights and justice as immigrants as refugees as migrants, as Dreamers! President Trump ordered an end to the Obama-era program that shields young undocumented immigrants from deportation, calling it an amnesty-first approach and urging Congress to pass a replacement before he begins phasing out its protections in six months. As early as March, officials said, some of the 800,000 young adults brought to the United States illegally as children who qualify for the program, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, will become eligible for deportation. The five-year-old policy allows them to remain without fear of immediate removal from the country and gives them the right to work legally. Mr. Trump as well as Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who announced the change at the Justice Department, both used the aggrieved language of nativists of virulently anti-immigrant activists, arguing wrongly, but aggressively that those in the country illegally are lawbreakers who hurt native-born Americans by usurping their jobs and pushing down wages. Mr. Trump said in a statement that he was driven by a concern for the millions of Americans victimized by this unfair system. Mr. Sessions said the program had denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same illegal aliens to take those jobs. But Oscar Chacon , Chia Chia Wang and Issac come out swinging and explode these falsehoods, calculated to whip up hysteria in in support of the demagogic Trump regime.
