Trash Talking Trump Dumps it on Planet
with
Sean Sweeney, director and founder of the Murphy Institutes International Program on Labor, Climate, and the Environment
Energy is a core issue for the world and Trumps response is more fracking, more gas and coal export terminals, and more projects like Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) as he dumps the Paris accord on climate change. Trump is unprepared to accept the science of climate change, and unwilling to join with the effort being made across the globe thru the Paris climate accord. Trump is digging a ditch, and the only difference between a ditch and a grave is that one is normally a little deeper than the other. As Trump seeks to bury climate justice policies well talk about what are the policies we need to push for and actions to turn up the pressure to Save The Planet, and create green jobs. Dont Dump on the Environment, Dump the Trump!

UK elections in a Cauldron of Terror: Dissecting the Outcome
June 9, 2017, 1:01 p.m.
On this week's Global Research News Hour, we examine the United Kingdom's recently concluded elections through the lens of the terror scare UK citizens were subjected to over the last three months.
In the first half hour, we hear from Patrick Henningsen of 21stCenturyWire.com about the suspicious aspects of the attacks in Manchester and London, impacts the attacks may have had on the election outcome, and other distortions presented during the campaign.
Later, we hear from J Michael Springmann, the former US diplomat and whistleblower and author of the book 'Visas for Al Qaeda: CIA Handouts That Rocked the World: An Insider's View'. Mr. Springmann talks about his own experiences and understanding of State Agencies enabling rather than hindering terrorist activity and how that applies to the suspects in the UK attacks. Finally, two political observers, Professors Radhika Desai and Alan Freeman (a UK national) both of the University of Manitoba, provide their assessment of the UK election outcome and what they mean for the country, Brexit, and the West generally.
