Christine Ahn on No. Korean-US Stand-Off

On the third day of joint US-So. Korean military exercises on North Korean border, activist, writer, and scholar Seoul-born Christine Ahn speaks about the necessity of securing a peace treaty between the two Koreas and the so far insurmountable obstacles to doing so, the most important of which is the client state relationship that South Korea has with Washington and how the US uses the conflict with the North in its efforts to counter China economically. She speaks about the difficulty the new So. Korean president, Moon Jae-in, has in standing up to Washington, given that the US would exert control over the South's army in any conflict with the North, although Moon has promised that there will be no war on the peninsula during his presidency. One of the problems, Ahn, notes, is determining exactly what is the Trump administration's position since while Sec of State Rex Tillerson tries to assure the world and Kim Jong-un that overthrowing his regime is not the US objective, CIA Director Mike Pompeo says publicly that it is. The ongoing exercises appear to substantiate Pompeo's goal since it includes preparation for regime decapitation. Ahn also takes the listener back to the earlier history of the South when it was dominated by US backed dictators while the North benefited from its trade with the East European Socialist Bloc during the Cold War up to the time of impeached president Park Geun-hye who created an extensive blacklist of political and artistic critics of her administration which included Ahn, herself, who tells about finding herself of Park Geun-hye's “no fly” list. Park Geun-hye, she notes, was ready to forgive Japan for its abuse of 200,000 Korean women who were forced into roles as “comfort women” for the Japanese army during its occupation and was ready, under pressure from Washington, to make South Korea part of a military alliance with Japan and the US, despite the unpopularity of Japan among the South Korean public. And much more.

Jeff Blankfort: News/Op: Ugly History of Korean War

This commentary begins with Steve Bannon being given the ax for the wrong reason by Trump, for stating that there is no military solution to US-Korea standoff and US should withdraw its troops in exchange for the verified freezing by North of its nuclear weapons program.

Curtis Le May, Defense Secretary Robert Lovett, Dean Rusk, and rare description of the carnage by Gen. MacArthur, He concludes with quotes from pamphlet by British Official John Pratt showing that the South initiated the war.

Newfangled Retrofitting: BlocPower's Donnel Baird

Compared with new buildings, older buildings tend to eat up a lot more energy and produce and trap a lot more pollution. Whether it’s an old church, a broken-down community center, an under-funded school building, or public housing, too often these older buildings don’t get retrofitted due to fiscal constraints. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Donnel Baird, the founder and CEO of BlocPower, a startup that uses technology to retrofit buildings in financially underserved communities. Not only does this work result in long-term energy savings and more humane conditions, BlocPower offers these benefits at a much lower cost than was previously available. Baird explains BlocPower’s business model, tells us what inspired him to start the company, and talks about the challenges that the current political environment brings.

Radioactivity from Madame Curie to Fukushima (ONE of ONE)

This is a small tribute to Dick Gregory, who also needs to be remembered for his antinuclear work, embedded in a program about the phenomenon of radiation and ways to monitor it. Opening with a clip from the song Radioactivity by Kraftwerk, leading into a sketch of the life and death of Madame Curie. She discovered radiation but was unable to understand its danger and died from radiation poisoning. Next the comedian Dick Gregory who states that radiation is worse than hunger and war: “Because I can feel hunger. I can see war. .. I cannot see radiation... I look around one day and I am dead.” On to the synopsis of 36 years in the life of a Geiger counter builder, Dan Sythe, whose main goal was to help people with their health issues. The huge scale of radiation contamination becomes clear when one follows him on his travels from Chernobyl to Fukushima with visits to the Marshall Islands, the Lakota, Navajo, and Cherokee Nations to Khazakstan, to people harmed by uranium mining, milling, processing, and nuclear weapons development... all over the world. Ending with Steven Starr, Senior Scientist with Physicians for Social Responsibility, who eloquently explains the extreme danger that Cesium 137 poses that is present in all fuel-pools at nuclear power power plants.

#494 -- Escaping the Matrix, Part 1

First some brief personal reflections by KD and a bit of music. Then a reading (by Lyn Gerry) of the first half of Richard K. Moore's classic essay, "Escaping the Matrix." Moore's essay, published in 2000, is a fine discussion of the gap between the Establishment's official propaganda and the real truth about how The System actually works. It's also a concise history of the changing interplay among the forces of imperialism, capitalism, economic policy, and the state.

John Mearsheimer on what has changed, and what has not, since his article and book exposing the secretive Israeli Lobby

In 2006 Two professors, John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago, and Steven Walt of Harvard University, wrote a paper called the Israeli Lobby and US Foreign Policy. It was a controversial unveiling of the secretive Israeli Lobby and its disproportionate effect on our foreign policy. It had to be published initially in England; no one would publish it here. It led to a book, and the Israeli Lobby, which loves to operate in the dark, was exposed. Mearsheimer and Walt were attacked by the Israeli propaganda machine, but truth will out…the book has held up under intense scrutiny. Our feature presentation today is a keynote address delivered by Professor Mearsheimer before a conference sponsored by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. He examines where we have come since the publication of the article and book… What has changed? What has not?
