The Wild Wild Left

Notice any pattern lately?  Things are getting strange in the homeland, and stranger yet abroad.  Unrest is everywhere, and the move for the kill is in! Its World War E©; only not from PlayStation™ but still rated rated E for Everyone! With Syria a jumble, Libya a mess, at least 9 countries we are droning, and Europe exploding from austerity adjustments, we're posing to go toe to toe with Russia over the Ukraine and plotting an invasion of Venezuela. WWE©, and your console will not turn off, everybody plays and only the 1% of the 1% will win.  It will be FPS - first person shooter, there will be RPG's - the ones you fire, not role play gaming, with actual RTS - real time strategy, in the biggest MMO ever:  Massive Multiplayer OnEarth. WWE©- a game everyone has to play, or die trying not to. Join me tonight, and together unplug the coders from our minds.

Political Commentary by Diane Gee of the wildwildleft.com

Beware the propaganda machine.  While some on the right are blatantly saying and doing truly toxic things, its as much a cover for the actions of the truly toxic left.  We may as well be talking about an athlete who spoke like he was full of adrenalin from winning a playoff game... wait, we fell for that too. Then there are always the handwringing causes d'jour... that are usually false to start with. All this tonight and more... Richard Sherman, L. Brooks Patterson, Mike Rogers, Ukraine....

Tonight I am honored to bring you Robin Ladue, whose book "Totems of September" I recently enjoyed thoroughly. Painting with threads of different families lives, she uses the loom of 9/11 to intertwine and tell a broader story of survival, loss and redemption. Dr. Robin Ladue is a retired clinical psychologist formerly in private practice in Washington. She received her Master's and Doctorate degrees from Washington State University. She has been affiliated with the University of Missouri, Kansas City and with the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Native American Center of Excellence. She is the award winning author of the "Journey Through the Healing Circle" books and video. Dr. LaDue has lectured worldwide on the effects of prenatal exposure and historical trauma in Native American communities as well as the consequences of and treatment for psychological trauma, including traditional Native methods of treatment. She has recently published her first historical novel, Totems of September. She is an enrolled member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe of Washington. We will be discussing her book, the struggle for justice for Native Americans and her ground breaking work in the field of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome children.

Tonight, I am honored to be interviewing Lori Price, founder and goddess of Citizens for Legitimate Government (CLG) the go-to news source for all people Left-leaning. Founded in 2000 to fight the 1st coup d' etat by the Bushites, it is going strong with the mission of being a multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order.  Her webpage, linked above can be found at legitgov.org Lori is an incredibly knowledgeable source, and I am looking forward to her razor-sharp analysis on the epic fail of our Government and takes on the news of the week. Join us!

Tonight my dear friend and dedicated activist Cindy Sheehan joins me, to talk about her 7th book!  I Left My Marbles in San Francisco: The Scandal of Federal Electoral Politricks is a great read, full of insider info from Cindy's personal experience inside the belly of the beast of Lizard land. Cindy is running for Governor of California in 2014 as a Peace and Freedom Party Candidate, and is dedicated to ending wars and bringing Socialism and Freedom to we, the People!  Her campaign page is here: http://www.cindy2014.org/ Join us tonight!  

Join us tonight as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the murder of JFK, and the Coup D' Etat on this country. It was the precise moment when the PTB became overt, rather than covert enemies of the State.  

Ok, not really, but let me engage you in a game of what if?  What if Syria bombed Israel 6 times this year rather than vise-versa? Last Friday, before I went on air, I learned of this illegal war crime, and hoped to cover it fully this week.  Yet?  Days later, nary a peep from the MSM. While the US remains the biggest war criminal, it is time to make a lucid evaluation about number 2.  Israel as Rogue State. Israel as Rogue, nuclear state.  Israel as a Racist and Apartheid State. Israel as a State committed to full genocide on Palestinians and the theft of all their land. What if any other nation was acting the way Israel has been acting - would the world stand mute and allow it?

STEALING NATIVE AMERICAN CHILDREN What we rarely do, is pay the remotest attention to what is STILL happening in the daily lives of the First Nations peoples.   Do we look at the abject poverty that has been inflicted on the most at-risk group in our greater society?  Are we remotely aware that this poverty is being used as an excuse to steal yet another generation of children? From Boarding Schools, to Adoptions, the cultural genocide is happening right now; fed by a seemingly endless flow of Federal monies that rewards the States for taking Indian children from their families.   Tonight, I am joined by three amazing women who will tell their tales.   Evelyn Red Lodge is an author and journalist who advocates for the ICWA.  Her story is chronicled in "Two Worlds: Lost Children of the Indian Adoption Projects." Janice Howe fought (and finally won) for the return of her 4 stolen grandchildren s chronicled on NPR. Molly KillsEnemy is a dear friend who was both adopted away herself as a young girl, and had a son taken from her outside the ICWA when she was young.  She now lives with her two sons and one daughter, with another daughter who has married. Please listen to my honored guests speak of their experiences and stand strong against the vile Christian Alliance for Indian Child Welfare & Lisa Morris who are trying to end the Indian Child Welfare Act - an act that needs to be strengthened, not revoked.  

We live in a world where women endure a culture of rape, the indigenous have always endured a culture of rape, and we even rape our Earth.  We are primitive and clueless.  Let me tell you what primitive is: Fouling your own nest. That's what fracking and tar sands essentially do. Let me tell you what is advanced. Having the foresight to care about our life support system and environment for generations to come over short-term profits. Fukushima is quickly becoming Fukusallma. T he Mounties are looking for a "compromise or peaceful resolution" down the end of automatic weapons in Canada - which equals "We are gonna force this down your throat," because energy vampires losing is unthinkable, and the people winning is doubly so.

The war is on again, full tilt boogie with Obamacare Medicare and food stamp cuts while the drumbeats whimpers for war. The Earth is turning against us in our greed, while we test more nukes. You seriously could not make this shite up. Join tonight, call in, rant along!

Colorado is undergoing a 500 year flood, with little National attention.  In 24 hours, they got more than their annual precipitation average. Hopefully, we will have a local report from fellow leftist and resident Jenelle Green.  Her mother is trapped in Lyons, so her availability is tenuous. Then?  A contrast and compare of Obama's speech versus Putin'a letter, with scathing commentary by yours truly.  I'll be working off the cuff, with visceral responses.  I did not watch Obama live.  I like my TV sans bricks through it. Call in, vent with us....

We live in a world where Tiana Parker is told that wearing her hair in a natural style is inappropriate, and cries tears of rejection from adults in her world who are supposed to understand being Black in America. We live in a World where the President acts like he is doing us a favor by asking Congressional approval to go into a war on false premises, rather than the Law of the Land. And, we live in a World where people are increasingly standing up to the dread of war, like the March in DC in 9/11 by both the March Against Drones and Million American March Against Fear. I will be taking calls tonight, first from the rep's of the marches, then by callers like you!

Michael Gottlieb, former co-conspirator and ally in all things wildly subversive steps out of Political retirement to re-join Wild Wild Left radio tonight! Now a published author, I will have a chance to pick his brain about his awesome novel, The Fourth Wall, the process of writing, and the art of living on the stage. Of course, we will sink our teeth into the News, as always.  Syria is looming like a hair trigger brandished by madmen bent on world domination.. or destruction.  Fukushima may make that point moot, as the ocean boils and the possibility of uncontrollable meltdown becomes more likely. Oil is still spilling, rigs are burning and the Gulf is still a toxic stew

Tonight I have the honor of speaking to the family of Michael Nida II's family.  His Sister, Terri Thaxton Teramura and Mother Jean Thaxton will be joining us. Michael was on a date with his wife, Naily, and was profiled by police for crossing the street from a gas station to stop in at a tobacco shop for cigarettes.  They frisked him, then bullied him, and frightened him.  He was unarmed. When he ran?  They shot him 5 times in the back. No charges were brought on his murderer, Officer Gilly.   These brave ladies, other friends and family have created Nida's Rydas to protest the endemic violence by the police, up to and including murdering citizens. It will be a heart rending show.

What has the movement to a "Security State" really cost us? In terms of privacy?  In terms of jobs?  In terms of individual freedom?  How about in terms of actual Democracy? Tonight my focus is on those very real costs, how are they are trying to divert our focus from it... and what we should be paying attention to.

Once again, I am thrilled and honored to bring Noam Chomsky to Wild Wild Left Radio.   Professor Emeritus at MIT, linguist, political activist and philosopher, author of over 100 books, and winner of this year's Global Exchange Human Rights Award, Noam is arguably one of the best and most dedicated minds of our generation. Noam has called Snowden a hero, adding his name on the petition to Ecuador President Rafael Correa to grant political asylum to him.  He has publicly stated that the NSA considers the primary enemy of the US to be we, the US citizens. Tonight, he joins us to give his thoughts about the surveillance state, Snowden, and the freedom of reporters like Glenn Greenwald to report the illegal activities of our own government without fear.

Tonight Guy McPherson, Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona joins us to talk about Climate Change and Near Term Extinction. Despite the media black out, and misinformation campaign by the minions of the Ruling Class, this brave man dares to join the few scientists addressing reality - we are truly and well on our way to an uninhabitable planet. Our goal is to offer user friendly explanations of what feed back loops are, what a 2 degree Celsius rise means, and how quickly that will turn into a 6 degree rise that will ultimately mean the death of the planet. Depressing, to be sure... but if I found I had terminal cancer, I would fight with every fiber of my being to live... so lets arm ourselves with the facts, and fight on.... For more information, Guy's website is Nature Bats Last His book, Walking Away From Empire: A Personal Journey is available on Amazon.

It been a week of seeming wins, losses and conflicting emotions this news cycle. One thing is for certain - other than the Militarized Surveillance State, precedents are being set to de-centralize your government. In other words, we have lost the Civil War. Let me explain why I think this is the case.... and how inherently racist it is.

Faux Left leadership?  We have it. Mistreatment of the lower classes?  Absolutely. Police brutality?  Epidemic. Counting those who want reform "enemies of the State"?  That's us. Class Warfare?  They are killing us. Lets take a look at what is happening in Brazil and why it should be happening here...

Spying is nothing new, it pre-dates Bush's overt expansion of it... heck it predates the US to the very first societies of humankind.  However, the present Security State with the technology of computer tracking, used on a Nation's own citizenry is unprecedented.  Some hoped to rein it in under President Obama, going by the words of Candidate Obama, to no avail. Yet across both sides of the aisle, our Bill Of Rights has been systematically shredded and the Police State encased as law. Enter Edward Snowden. Unlike Assange who USer's could doubt as a "foreigner" or Bradley Manning who triggers the right's Soldier-code impulse, Ed could not be a worse (for them) or better (for us) unifying symbol of how our Government treats us as the enemy. I support all truth tellers and whistleblowers, but Ed may be our game changer. The far-right and the far-left have always objected to the abuse of their powers, yet this young, good looking, honest and articulate young man speaks to the middle in terms they can understand.  Sure, the character assassination is on - but the scope and breadth of the surveillance state is now front and center in our National dialogue. Snowden is likeable, one of us - and people are listening! Greenwald and Snowden have become unlikely heroes, a high hard ridge of fast moving truth whipping across our land, that may become a tsunami that washes away the lies from Washington and leaves the air clean and shining in the light of a new day.

Cindy Sheehan will be in Ann Arbor this coming Wednesday!  Yay! Included in this weeks breaking news, more police brutality, FBI lies, and disgusting reports on the state of our economy!  And what else?  More WAR! All the things TDP is protesting against! I think the world may have looked more normal on drugs!

Listen to Diane Gee with Special Guests Susan Sunshine-Earth Poet and Dan Green live on WWL Radio Friday,  May 17th at 6pm EDT! Susan will be updating us about the world-wide March Against Monsanto, even as this week we lost a crucial ruling by the Supreme Court against the poison giant. Then, Dan will be joining us to talk about all the implications of the secret collection of the AP's complete phone records, and what Chris Hedges calls the "Death of Truth." The government now claims powers even Hitler didn't claim. They are preparing for a totally Fascist takeover - Business & Government vs the People.  Arm yourself with knowledge - listen in!

We are going to recap information about the Police State, from Boston to the addition of Assata Shakur to the "tewwowist list." Mainly?  As the Mom of a child about to enter High School, I have to wonder what kind of educational system he will inherit for his children.  President Obama proclaimed this, which is National Teacher's Week as National CHARTER Schools Week, and redubbed May Day - known worldwide as International Workers Day as "Loyalty Day" in sickeningly Orwellian Doublespeak. President Obama's Education Secretary Arne Duncan joined Michigan's Republican Governor Rick Snyder on Monday for a whirlwind tour of how he tried to circumvent the state's ban on school vouchers and channel public money to privately operated schools.

SPECIAL GUESTS DIONNE SMITH AND REYNA DUENEZ!!! Its been a frightening couple weeks here in the homeland. I feel for my dear friends in Boston who had to endure both the bombing, and the frightening Military Exercise ran thereafter.  There were Militarized raids in Oakland following Boston's - and no reason was given for those. I'll examine the inconsistencies in that story, and perhaps more importantly - speak to the "New Normal" of living under a military occupation here in the States.  Yet for people of color in this country?  This has been Normal forever. A series of events in Southern California are going to be protesting the epidemic of Police brutality and murder of unarmed, innocent people of color.  The movie "Crimes of Police" is premiering in Stockton tomorrow to set the stage... followed by an Oxnard College "Justice for Our Community" event and be culminating in a Statewide March from Camino del Sol Park. We will be talking to Ernest Duenez Jr.'s sister.  Ernest was shot 11 times while trying to exit his truck - his foot was tangled in the seatbelt.  He was unarmed.   Dionne Smith, the mother of James Rivera - boy of 16 who was shot over 48 times by the Stockton, CA police will also  be joining us. Our own troops are being used against us.  We are living in a War Zone, and we are their enemies.  They are killing us with immunity.  Our lives have no value to them.

From Langley to London to Arkansas, Burying the Slime Tonight is a tale of 2 Londons!  Eric from London and Jeff named London :) The Exxon cover up is vile, their burying of the story criminal.  We'll bring you a brief overview - and next week NPR Arkansas' Michael Hibblen who was almost arrested for trying to cover the story will be on to elucidate. Speaking of burying slime, Eric Knight is coming on to talk about the lovely reaction to Maggie Thatcher's death is bringing about in Trafalgar Square. Speaking of burying more slime, Jeff London will help us sort out how Obamabots help to cover up War Crimes and more.... Brilliant men, hot topics... or is that hot men, and brilliant topics?  Either way?  Tune in!

Hey kids.  Lets be honest.  I'm not trying to start a Class War, I'm trying to end one. The Catfood Price Index is officially Obama's austerity program, all wrapped up in Welfare for the Rich. All the "jobs" that were created are part-time second or third jobs for people who can't make it on one. They are jailing people for writing op/eds for the Huffington Post. Fast food workers are striking, and budgetary laws cannot be over turned by the vote. Welcome to the Minion Class. 

Its a beautiful Spring day here in Michigan, the land of King Snyder, where Unionist are smited (smitten?) and our cities are his Private Corporations. Vote in a Union?  Lose your job! Its slightly milder here than North Dakota, where the frozen fingers of the Christianazis have have claimed victory over the incubators formerly known as "women." Its the time of the season you know, for birds and the bees... whats left of the bees after being mass murdered by Neonicotinoid pesticides.  Its time to plant seeds, after paying your tithe to the owner of all life DNA strains on the Planet to Monsanto, as approved by Obama, the GMHo. All this and more tonight! UPDATED: Deirdre Chervenka Cunningham will be joining us to speak about her illegal firing for her work in forming the IWW Union at Star Tickets.

Tonight, the joint powerhouses of Cindy Sheehan and Diane Gee combine their immeasurable passions to utter the dreaded "The S-Word." SOCIALISM - Yeah, we WANT IT! Learn what Socialism is - and is NOT tonight, as I discuss how previously labeled exercises in State Capitalism are not what we are endorsing. Highlighted will be the concept of Basic Guaranteed Incomes, Austerity and Health Care as defined by the Peace and Freedom Party as basic Socialist rights. The second half of the hour will be a Cindy interviewing Marsha Feinland of the Peace and Freedom Party, recorded prior because Cindy is having a travel day today in preparation for her Tour d'Peace! Marsha's bio: I have been active in the Peace and Freedom Party since 1988. I have various offices in the party including state chair and treasurer. I am currently on the state executive committee and and co-chair of the Alameda county organization. I have run for various offices from Berkeley School board to president of the united states. I ran for U.S. Senate four times, getting about a quarter of a million votes in 2004. I was elected to a four year term on the Berkeley rent stabilization board in 1994.

POPES, EM'S AND FROZEN ZONES - OH MY!!! Do you ever feel nostalgic, like you want to go back in time?  The question is, how far back?  To Jim Crow and Women in "their place"?  Maybe all the way back to infancy where flinging feces was an acceptable misbehavior, not state policy.  I wish I were making this up.   How about to medieval times where ignorance reigned and we all bowed before the Kings? We are backsliding so quick, we need to spin around the speed limit signs.  All this and more tonight!  1965 and 2013.  See the difference?  Nor do I!

Cindy Sheehan and Diane Gee break the taboo every Monday to talk about Socialism!

Hugo Chavez, the man, the myths and the Leader... Tonight we explore it all, and the facts behind the demonization of the man from both the left as well as the right may surprise you. Cindy Sheehan will likely be joining me, as well as a possible call from someone who called him dear friend for years and years....

Race wars may be coming... not for the reasons the racist right thinks, but merely because we have been raised on fear. Divide and conquer works. Tonight I am going to tell a story, and bring in facts to highlight its points. How the story ends is up to you.  Me.  All of us.  Which side are you on, boys?

Its haaaarrrddd being a Lame Duck President who no longer has to run for office all the time while he is governing.  I mean, he's like, totally free to do whatever he really had planned all along.  Any minute now, The Great and Mighty Barack Messiah is going to show them!  He will.  He loves you. Honest, he is trying. I mean, when his hands aren't tied by all those evil corporatist right wing asslips he keeps appointing. Just when you think you've heard it all?  Old "he's-better-than-Romney-what-did-you-expect-he's-only-been-in-office-5-years" outdoes his fine self. Rantalicious Truth is on the table tonight, and you won't believe your ears.

Cindy Sheehan and Diane Gee dare to speak the S-word... Socialism is not a dirty word.  Our premier episode will include an examination of the Chris Dorner affair, with special guest Ruth Hull who was on scene.

Ironic, in this, the shortest of months given to Black History, that a Black President would use a White Paper during a white-out blizzard to endanger us all.  I wish there was a real people's history - not a white washed one... that was honest and respected all the people of the globe's achievements. Then we wouldn't have only 28 days to try and expose the "mainstream" culture to something outside their narrow Euro-centric views.   It isn't only history that is white-washed with a Euro-centric invader slant - its the PRESENT. The DOJ is still data-mining, we are waiting for a ruling on NDAA, 30+ African Nations are now in danger from our drones, and Iran is a clusterf*ck amping up in the wings. They have purchased more tanks to use within our borders against us, added to the drones in our own skies, as more innocent people are beaten or killed by the pigs in Oakland and San Francisco. The only answer to this is TRUTH, and the chance to describe what is happening from a world-view, rather than the propaganda zone of the MSM. I appreciate the chance to shed some light into that void.  WWL Radio has almost met its goal already - just a few more small donations will allow us to air for another year!

Tangerine Bolen returns to WWL Radio tonight to keep us abreast of the Stop NDAA lawsuit - just days before the next hearing on Wednesday February 6th. Tangerine Bolen is one of the brave seven Plaintiffs filing in Hedges vs Obama lawsuit trying to preserve our Civil Liberties.   The passage of the NDAA language allowing indefinite detention of any US citizen, without charge or trial, is possibly the most dangerous legislation ever passed to date: Section 1021(b)(2) authorizes the military to detain any U.S. citizen who "substantially supported" al-Qaida, the Taliban or "associated forces" and then hold them in military compounds until "the end of hostilities." We are trying to flood the courthouse with supporters for this event: We need you there at 9:45am SHARP to stand up to indefinite detention! On February 6th the 2nd circuit court of appeals will be hearing oral arguments in the lawsuit against section 1021 of the NDAA. Your attendance will communicate that the public is invested in the outcome of this ruling and unwilling to sit idly by as due process rights are eroded. For info on the NDAA lawsuit visit: http://bit.ly/XA9SeL ??? HEDGES et al. vs OBAMA, Second Circuit Appeals Court ??? Our Second Circuit court date has been set for: DATE: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 TIME: 10am EST PLACE: New York ADDRESS: United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit - Thurgood Marshall Court aka: Manhattan Foley Square Courthouse Room 1505, 15th floor 40 Centre Street (40 Foley Square), NYC

Roe v Wade turned 40 on Tuesday. Tonight author, professor and long-time women's rights activist Lorraine Berry joins us to discuss what has become of the Women's Movement, feminism itself, in the year 2013. It is hard to believe how much Women's autonomy over their own bodies has degraded in the ensuing years since 1973.  State by State, contraception is harder to come by, and abortions almost impossible to receive. It is a valuable asset for those fully engaged in Class War against us, to be sure that we females, as half the population are tied to the need to provide for copious offspring, that we will work as many degrading jobs as it takes to feed our young ~ while they cut the safety nets for those mothers and children to nothing. In the meantime, we are supposed to celebrate that women from the United States can participate in combat.  Irony drips: They call women murderers for wanting to control their own eggs, yet celebrate that we can now go into combat and kill ACTUAL people. The mind boggles.

Inauguration day is just days away.   Its time to do a fact check on our President's positions, versus what he ran on, and see what he did 180's on, and on which things he has always been a neo-con.  The room between his and Bush's policies could not be breached with a micro-filament. Lets take a report card, gander shall we?  Not just in his 1st term, but what he has done already in his 2nd term.  From handing the economy to the rich, to upping surveillance and expanding a fascist police state?  To war on the whole of the planet! Its time for an eye opener.  Lets enter this new year without blinders and ready to fight back! "You take Sally, I'll take Sue, there ain't much difference between the two..."  ~ e.clapton

Holy Flashbacks, Batman, Wild Wild Left has been serving you Leftie Goodness for 4 whole years! Original co-host Michael Gottlieb makes a special guest appearance to celebrate.  We'll talk about what we got right back then (everything LOL) what we got wrong and talk about what is happening right now.  If you have listened to any of the 1st years in podcast, you know he is good.  If you have only read him, his brilliance in writing translates seamlessly to the airwaves. This should be fun, or as fun as it can get being a Leftist in this messed up World!

While you watched the man weeping, 21 more totally innocent children were killed by our President. While you were angry, a funeral was held for the 120th unarmed person of color to be killed by the police, Ernest Duenez Jr. While the "ban all the guns" people were fighting the "AK on every hip" people, no one was discussing the abysmal mental health care in the U.S. that allows insanity to go untreated. While you were judging his mother, every 2 minutes a woman is raped in this country. And while we were debating every last bit of the above to dust, because nothing strikes fear into the heart of America like white children being killed? Legislation is being passed to make the at risk, poor children, old people and the mentally ill who rely on Social Security and Medicare poorer. Most of all, we really refuse to discuss the Class War, which is primarily racist that is being waged in this country to support the Rich who are waging flat-out war on the rest of the world in an all-out grab for what is left of its resources.

When Michigan, the very core of Union activity in the United States, gets swallowed by "Right to Work" legislation crammed through without committee or debate in a lame duck session?  Greed of the few is using labor as worthless human chattel. When a Hero does his duty to uphold the Constitution and reports in whatever way he safely could, illegal and immoral activities and is tortured for it, as Bradley Manning has been, and the Nation's Press does not bother to report about it? Your rights in such truth telling are long gone.  You are no longer free. When even Democrats vote for reducing food stamps and cutting Social Security, which does not add to the debt, in an economy already making people suffer badly?  You know life as we know it is over, and we are considered useless eaters no longer worthy of even sustenance. When in light of this austerity we are sending warships to Syria, adding to our 7, 8, god knows how many arenas of war, in an epic spending spree on colonialism?  Human lives abroad are nothing to the pursuit of more power. Our own Government has become the bane of her Citizens, and the World.  And like Kane, started from nothing, and in our greed lost everything, and killed the only happiness we could have had.....

Education is under fierce attack in Michigan, trying to follow the path of Privatizing everything for profit. Palestine became recognized, kinda, sorta, its a start in a vote last night at the UN. And now begins the Kabuki of the Fiscal Grift negotiation. We have much to talk about tonight folks!!!  Join in!

Noam Chomsky tops the hour, with his thoughts. Our friend Alaa Abu Aser will be calling in live from Gaza with ground level reports thereafter.  It will be 2 am in Gaza at air time. We will be presenting full, breaking coverage of Israel's attack on Gaza, and the circumstances around it.

We Lon, we Wost! I know, I feel I'm preaching to the choir tired here. I know I am emotionally overloaded, how about you? But bear with me one more week of election-speak. We can talk about what comes next, as well.

So here we are, days away from the polls, the warning shots of Global Climate Change bringing catastrophic storms to the Eastern shores.  Staten Island languished ignored, while the moneyed Burroughs got the cameras.   Politicians used every angle for personal gain, vying for the top spot on the polls, like dancers on the pole.... while ice melts on our poles. I cannot tell you how much I wish I could skip this broadcast.  Its depressing as hell. But?  It is my last chance to try and move people to do the right thing.  To vote for the community of life, respect ecological balance, social and economic justice and an end to war and a movement toward world peace... Please join me - tell everyone you know.  Vote Green.  Our planet depends on it.

The Great Lakes are the largest source of fresh water in the World.  Tonight, two women on the front lines protecting Michigan from the ecological disaster that is fracking join me to talk about the realities of the dangers at hand. Our own Green Candidate Julia Williams returns to expand our discussion, bringing her long time friend and ally LuAnn Kozma to join us with her utter expertise in this area. LuAnne founded Ban Michigan Fracking with Julia and Anna Kathryn Sluka.  She is also the Michigan Director of an organization called Defense of Place, which works to assure that parks remain protected in perpetuity and has been advocating for the protection of Michigan's public parks for nearly a decade.  She has been involved in the Benton Harbor case, where Emergency Managers have all but given away priceless pristine lakeshore park lands to build a Private Golf Course - trading it for polluted inland industrial sites.   Along with Fracking, we will also be discussing why the MOST pressing matter or our time, climate change, remains taboo in the light of Political Discourse.  We will be discussing, too why as females, we are being emotionally manipulated to vote against our bigger interests. Time is running out - Pledge to Vote Green!

The passage of the NDAA language allowing indefinite detention of any US citizen, without charge or trial, is possibly the most dangerous legislation ever passed to date. Tangerine Bolen is one of the brave seven Plaintiffs filing in Hedges vs Obama lawsuit trying to preserve our Civil Liberties.  Tonight she joins Wild Wild Left Radio to talk to us about this suit. She is founder and Executive Director of RevolutionTruth, an organization dedicated to restoring legitimate democracies in part through increasing access to accurate information. She has led campaigns in support of WikiLeaks and Bradley Manning; these actions making her a direct target of the Obama administration's ambiguous language: Section 1021(b)(2) authorizes the military to detain any U.S. citizen who "substantially supported" al-Qaida, the Taliban or "associated forces" and then hold them in military compounds until "the end of hostilities." Tangerine also hosts RevolutionTruth's panel series of discussions between activists in the West and Middle East which is geared toward sharing knowledge, challenging War-on-Terror-aggravated stereotypes, and building worldwide networks of support between those seeking decreased oppression, increased liberty and the creation of just and equitable systems. I am thrilled to host Ms Bolen, we are all very lucky to be able to gain an inside look at the fight against tyranny, oppression and the encroachment unto our rights that this fascist leaning NDAA language brings. This really is the fight of our lifetime!  Don't miss this one!

Julia Williams, US Congressional Candidate for Michigan District 9, joins me tonight to talk about her campaign as a Green.  An RN, and longtime Green Party member and liberal activist, she is running against Sander Levin in her district.   Julia is a Co-founder of Ban Michigan Fracking - a subject dear to this Michigan resident's heart. As always, breaking news at the top of the hour.   Join us, and vote Green!

Breaking news to start the hour, followed by my own Special Commentary on the Debate Debacle and the idiocy of the 2 Party Kabuki Theater, and the similarities of the Uniparty. As the Silly Season closes in, people buy the most transparent of lies, panic over the weakest comments and scare themselves into voting against their own interests.  Every f*cking time....  grrr. Let me add a little truthiness to the equation.

I'm baaaack!  Still not fully functional, bronchitis is not my friend, but with your help there will be a show tonight! The various players are playing disinformation games, from GMO to the UN, and both brand D and brand R are sticking to the script. Unscripted?  Things are burning up in Europe, with Greece and Spain leading the way. There is so much news to catch up on here, hope I make it the hour!!
