Dr. Helen Caldicott: North Korea, Donald Trump and the Threat of Nuclear War

Helen Caldicott is an Australian physician author, and anti nuclear activist. She led campaigns against nuclear power and nuclear weapons, nuclear testing and radiation from uranium weapons and mining to nuclear waste. The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War invited Dr. Helen Caldicott to speak at their September 2017 conference in Basel, Switzerland. At that conference she expressed her grave concern about Donald Trump's extraordinary messages against North Korea, threatening fire and fury and total annihilation. And she is not alone with her concern. As I am recording this introduction on November 14, 2017, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is holding a public hearing on President Trump’s unlimited authority to deploy nuclear weapons. It’s the first time the Senate has examined the nuclear launch process in more than 40 years. In August of this year listeners to NPR asked if Donald Trump can just launch nuclear weapons via the nuclear code that he has access to at all times. Here is a quote from the answer by Senior News Analyst Cokie Roberts. (Thanks to NPR - the clip aired on August 8, 2017.) And thanks to The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War in Basel, Switzerland for the audio recording of this talk, made on September 14, 2017.

Why Chicago's Leaders Hate the Homeless

From the program: In recent weeks City leaders have dramatically escalated their ongoing battle against Chicago’s homeless population, repeatedly evicting Uptown’s Tent City — the most visible symbol of the city’s failure to house its own residents. The evictions are an attempt to set new precedents in guaranteeing even fewer rights to those who already have the least in our city. The goal of guaranteeing profits for the real estate industry has long dominated decision-making in city politics. It determines City Hall policies towards the homeless, the near-homeless, and housing for all the other residents who also do the work that makes Chicago work. However, lack of affordable housing and homelessness cannot be properly understood if viewed in isolation from other issues. Policies on policing, race, jobs, education, transportation and healthcare are all inextricably linked to housing policies. Homelessness is but one of the more brutal aspects of an ongoing war vs. the non-wealthy by those who run our city. Long-time activist Andy Thayer of Uptown Tent City Organizers examines how homelessness relates to other issues, why homelessness is a human-manufactured crisis, and what we can do to solve it. Andy Thayer has worked on such other issues as 1st Amendment rights and ending U.S. wars. A protest organizer, Andy is a co-founder of the Gay Liberation Network, a multi-issue LGBT rights direct action group which helped win equal marriage rights in Illinois. He’s been arrested in various protests, not only locally, but twice in Moscow, Russia for protesting against the government’s bans on gay rights demonstrations.

Joel Solomon: The Dirt On Clean Money

Are people’s investment and buying decisions fueled by beneficence or are they simply selfish acts? This week’s guest on Sea Change Radio, Joel Solomon, believes that the future of our economic well-being hinges upon our ability to recognize, develop, and reward inherent altruism. We discuss Solomon’s new book, “The clean money revolution: reinventing power, purpose, and capitalism,” including a view of current markets and Solomon’s vision for 2050. Then, we dig into the Sea Change Radio archives and listen to an interview with an anonymous engineer who has worked in the Russian gold mining industry. He shares his experiences and talks about mining industry practices and sustainability efforts.

Sonic Cafe #62/The Truth Is Out There: Alien Abductions

Sonic Café, where we feature a mix of intelligent, eclectic music, comedy and pop culture… welcome to episode 62. I’m your host Scott Clark and I’ve got a question for you. Are alien abductions real? I mean really … real? We’ve been waiting for first contact from extraterrestrial beings for generations now … and yet, not a single verified contact. The government denies it… and Stephen Hawking thinks if aliens ever do find us, we’ll all be toast. Yet we keep scouring the skies and broadcasting messages into the cosmos to help aliens find us. Kind of like ringing the dinner bell if you ask me. Listen as the Sonic Café presents four first person accounts from people who claim to have experienced alien abductions and lived to tell the tale. See if you believe their stories… or not. All that plus a music mix designed to welcome alien life forms with open arms, covering 36 years including tunes from Greenwalk, 4 Non Blondes, Genesis, Dr. John, Alpha and more… plus… stand-up comedy from Eddie Izzard. The Truth IS Out There … Alien Abductions… this time on the Sonic Café.

Two courageous women describe two Nakbas, one in Israel and the other here in the USA

Today we feature the linking of voices from two different cultures, each representing a people who have faced ethnic cleansing, colonial occupation, and military exploitation: the Palestinians and the Native Americans. There are similarities to their struggles, which is why intersectionality is becoming a dominant theme of activist organizers working for human rights throughout the world. First you will hear Farouz Sharqawi, representing Grassroots Jerusalem, and then Madonna Thunder Hawk from the Lakota Nation. These two women have been traveling the Northeast as part of the Tree of Life Tour, and these presentations were recorded when they spoke recently at the Public Library in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Farouz Sharqawi explains why the most difficult question you can ask a Palestinian is “What’s your vision for Jerusalem?” The day-to-day continuation of the Nakba (“catastrophe”) ever since 1948 makes it hard to focus on this bigger question about “our beloved city.” Israel has a very clear plan of displacing Palestinians out of Jerusalem. Farouz cannot find any trace of the homes there where her grandparents lived. Lakota Sioux elder Donna Thunder Hawk makes it clear that Native Americans have faced, and continue to face, a United States-style Nakba, begun around 1492 and growing fiercer in each succeeding generation. Its most recent manifestation has been the racist, military-backed, Trump-propelled, corporate invasion of Standing Rock, where an oil pipeline was forced in despite its inevitable deadly effect on the water source for millions of people. Edging toward 80 years of age, Thunder Hawk spent many months camping and defending the water at Standing Rock before this crushing defeat. There’s so much to say, and accordingly, this edition of This Week In Palestine runs almost a full hour.

Episode 2017.14 - Antifa and Profa, The Strange Support for Fascism by Protesting Its Opposers

Hello Friends and Neighbors welcome to another – oops, wait, this Just In! Fascism is good for you, says Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He didn’t say that – in public at least; but the recent government attention aimed at Antifa protestors, the government sponsored wing of that protests, suggests government insiders prefer Profa instead. Who are Profa, they are the covert, underground, undercover supporters of Fascism (just as the Alt-Left brings the worst out of the Alt-Right, Profa calls these Antifa forces from the shadows). Profa has a long tradition in the United States, it started long before Donald Trump, and may have more tentacles than the Illuminati, yet little is known about it save its committed goal to bring Fascism back to these soils (or maybe the top of the soils because it has never really left), in today’s episode I speak about this famous group, offering commentary to explain why the government’s attacks on Antifa are in fact a subtle disguised approval for Profa’s very corportist leanings.
