FROM OHIO MADNESS TO JULIAN ASSANGE & UKRAINIAN WEAPONS OF MASS OUTRAGE FEEDING A POTENTIAL NUKE APOCALYPSE     For our GREEP Zoom #143 at Green Power & Wellness, RACHEL COYLE explains how Ohio is trying to gut the referendum process while facing statewide votes to protect a woman's right to choose both abortion and marijuana.   WENDI LEDERMAN adds in the bad news from Florida, where she is being physically harassed in the course of gathering signatures for a referendum there whose rules have already been rigged.   VINNIE DESTEFANO gives us the latest reporting on the murderous case of Julian Assange in contrast to the hand-wringing over Evan Gershkavitz, the Wall Street Journal reporter being held in Russia for reasons barely parallel to whatever Assange has done.   MIKE HERSH informs us about a critical petition now circulating from Reps. Barbara Lee and Mark Pocan to finally slash some of the excess money being wasted on the military budget.     DAVID SALTMAN explores the dirty realities of cluster munitions, land mines and depleted uranium in Ukraine.   MYLA RESON ends our first  hour with the lethal realities of the aerosolization of depleted uranium, leaving a death toll of cancer in its wake.     IN OUR SECOND HOUR...   Abut the failures of Ukraine/Russian diplomacy we hear from TATANKA BRICCA and DOROTHY REIK.   Then HOWIE HAWKINS, 2020 Green Party Presidential nominee, and LINDA GUNTER of Beyond Nuclear, alert us to the terrifying nightmare at Zaporizhzhia.   The UN General Assembly is now being asked to send peacekeeping forces to protect the six reactors & fuel pools at Zapo as they were used to prevent World War at Suez in 1956.   Linda also shows that the International Atomic Energy Agency is promoting atomic power while it allegedly tells the truth about Zapo.   Likewise Japan is poised to dump a million tons of irradiated water into the Pacific Ocean with no concept of what it might do to the global ecology.   DR. LISA NAGY fills us in on the specter of radioactive phosphorus being melded into the paving of our global highways.   RON LEONARD adds in the latest news in the war for renewables, which never ceases to amaze.

Our guest host Shehbaz Khan takes us on a trip beyond the solar system to explain why radiation is so harmful.

Ecological News includes stories about solar power taking off around the world, even as it's banned in Vienna township. 

This week on Talk World Radio, we're talking about nuclear energy, nuclear weapons, nuclear waste, nuclear waste weapons, and other genius ideas thought up by our mentally challenged species. Our guest, Linda Pentz Gunter is founder and international specialist at Beyond Nuclear. See https://beyondnuclear.org and https://beyondnuclearinternational.org

WISCONSIN BEFORE LIGHTENING STRIKES; ANTI-TRANS WARFARE Our GREE-GREE #132 foreshadows the major victory in Wisconsin's critical state Supreme Court race that is being widely ranked as “the most important election of 2023.” We hear from ANDREA MILLER of the Center for Common Ground, NORM STOCKWELL of Progressive.org, and THOMAS NELSON of grassroots Wisconsin on the coming of what would be a huge victory for the Progressive movement. We know as you're listening to this that the left-leaning “Judge Janet” Protasiewicz won this crucial judgeship by a substantial margin.  She beat a MAGA Republican. So if you want to know how this happened, listen in to the powerful views of a critically important trio of organizer/activists who helped make this progressive victory happened. We then turn to BRYNN TANNEHILL and her uniquely brilliant systemic presentation on the national assault against the rights and freedoms of trans Americans. Among much more, Brynn tells us that “gun rights” stalwarts who NEVER want to limit gun ownership now want to make it illegal for trans citizens to own a gun. [IN OUR SECOND HOUR, FOR NEXT WEEK: PRESIDENT MICHELLE?  A ROMERO ADMINISTRATION?  LIVING EARTH MOVEMENT; MORE NUKE MADNESS In our latest GREE-GREE gathering, we're joined by legendary journalist/producer DAVID SALTMAN, presents the possibility of MICHELLE OBAMA running for President. Though there are obvious doubts, Saltman reads a long passage from the former First Lady that would seem to indicate she'd be open to the idea should Joe Biden decline to re-run Along the way we hear from LYNN FEINERMAN, JUSTIN LEBLANC and others. TATANKA BRICCA lays out the Romero Institute's on-going campaign to establish a full-blown government leadership apparatus, prepared to take and use power as the corporate Democrats and Trumpite Republicans fade away.   IGNACIO CASTUERA of the Living Earth Movement explains his organization's powerful campaign to insure that we get to world peace.  The movement focuses in particularly on guaranteeing detente with China, thus avoiding a war between the world's two biggest economies. Finally the brilliant  LINDA PENCE GUNTER of Beyond Nuclear confirms that Germany will, in fact, shut its last reactors around April 15. Thus the world's fourth-largest economy goes post-nuclear, with (hopefully) the fifth-largest (California) soon to follow. Linda also fills us in on the uselessness of Silly Mythic Reactors, and the on-going dangers at Ukraine's besieged Zaporigia. We also hear about the use of Depleted Uranium (DU), armor-penetrating shells that spread lethal atomic radiation throughout the landscape. Linda is joined by MYLA RESON who further explains the dangers of DU and atomic waste. This wide-ranging excursion should not be missed.  NO NUKES!!

NY VOTING LAWS, BRIBERY & CHEMICAL NIGHTMARES IN OHIO, OUR REVOLUTION, PERU, E-CARS Our Jam-packed GREEGREE #126 starts with NY's JULIE WIENER reporting from the NY legislature on hackable voting machines. Ohio's RACHEL COYLE tells us about the astounding trial in Columbus about the $61 million a nuclear utility slipped to the speaker of the Ohio House to get a $1 billion bailout for two atomic reactors. The question, says Rachel, is whether in the world of Citizen's United, it is perfectly legal to buy (or rent) a state legislature.  “You couldn't write a movie better than this,” she says.  It's a trial to legalize bribery, with major national repercussions.  PACO FABIAN then tells us about the successful and impactful progressive campaigning of OUR REVOLUTION. We merge in the possibility of using referenda to help get out the grassroots vote, particularly on the issues of Choice, Gerrymandering, Marijuana and Expanding Medicaid.  Our Revolution also focuses on raising the minimum wage, as was tried in California, demanding clearer messaging. LORENZO CANIZARES gives us the news from Peru, where a Revolution is definitely not being televised. From LINDA GUNTER of Beyond Nuclear tells us about the threat of earthquakes to atomic reactors in Turkey and Greece, not to mention Ukraine and California. From STEVE CARUSO and others we hear the horrible news about the 50-care derailment now poising much of the Ohio River Valley. BEN EICHERT, MYLA RESON, TATANKA BRICCA and others update us on the Energy War in California, now raging over the expiring licenses at Diablo Canyon. Next week we are off for President's Day, but will be back February 27 with a new link.  We will be joined then by the great RAY MCGOVERN. NO NUKES!!!

A DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO GRASSROOTS VICTORY IN 2022…& THE GLOBAL NUKE NIGHTMARE, FROM UKRAINE TO DIABLO CANYON     On the GREE_GREE zoom #105 we offer a definitive template on the nuts and bolts of the grassroots organizing needed to turn the people's will in the 2022 mid-term elections.   ANDREA MILLER and RAY MCCLENDON fill us in on the granular steps that forced the 2021 “Georgia Miracle” onto the changing face of American politics.  They're followed by TATANKA BRICCA who adds to the narrative his hands-on experience organizing with the likes of Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta.   Co-Convenor JOEL SEGAL then joins ROBERT WILSON with their accounts of parallel campaigning in North Carolina.  Joel and Robert later introduce us to LARRY HALL, a critical leader of the NC Legislature.   On August 29 we'll convene a National Congress of Grassroots 2022 Organizing to link on-the-ground groups together from all over the US.  WENDI LEDERMAN is compiling a master list of the nation's on-the-ground operations to be represented as we further gather the progressive momentum needed to save this nation.   Hearing from DOROTHY REIK, DR. RUTH STRAUSS, LYNN FEINERMAN and more, we're joined by Beyond Nuclear's PAUL GUNTER, who provides the detail on the massive reactor bailouts included in the just-passed Biden-Manchine Inflation-Reduction Act.     We also dive into the horrifying realities of six atomic reactors at Ukraine's Zaporizyzya, six big nukes surrounded by heavy weaponry in the Russo-Ukrainian war zone.     This ungodly nightmare of exploding reactors carries into California, as LINDA SEELEY of the San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace updates the fight to shut the insanely dangerous Diablo Canyon nukes as soon as possible.     Overall this unique excursion into grassroots organizing and safe energy imperatives is not to be missed.    

At GREE-GREE #106, WENDI LEDERMAN starts us off with an astounding listing of grassroots 2022 groups around the US workin on election protection. We also hear from ZURIE POPE about fascist chaos in Ohio. And from SUZANNE GORDON on the shafting of the Veterans Administration nationwide.

Col. David Maxwell (ret.), Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), discusses "Beyond Nuclear Crisis: New and Long-Term Strategy for the Korean Peninsula." This lecture was part of the Asia Initiative Lecture Series at The Institute of World Politics. It took place on July 7, 2022. About the Lecture: The Yoon and Biden administrations have an opportunity for a new approach to the Korean security challenge. The Alliance way ahead is an integrated deterrence strategy as part of the broader strategic competition that is taking place in the region. There is a need for a Korean “Plan B” strategy that rests on the foundation of combined ROK/U.S. defensive capabilities and includes political warfare, aggressive diplomacy, sanctions, cyber operations, and information and influence activities, with a goal of denuclearization but ultimately the objective must be to solve the “Korea question” (e.g., the unnatural division of the peninsula) with the understanding that denuclearization of the north and an end to human rights abuses and crimes against humanity will only happen when the Korea question is resolved that leads to a free and unified Korea, otherwise known as a United Republic of Korea (UROK). About the Speaker: Colonel David S. Maxwell (ret.) is the Editor-in-Chief of Small Wars Journal. He is a Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Senior Fellow at the Global Peace Foundation(where he focuses on a free and unified Korea), and a Senior Advisor to the Center for Asia Pacific Strategy. He is a 30-year veteran of the US Army, retiring as a Special Forces Colonel. He has worked in Asia for more than over 30 years, primarily in Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. Colonel Maxwell served on the United Nations Command / Combined Forces Command / United States Forces Korea CJ3 staff where he was a planner for UNC/CFC OPLAN 5027-98 and co-author of the original ROK JCS – UNC/CFC CONPLAN 5029-99 (North Korean instability and regime collapse). He later served as the Director of Plans, Policy, and Strategy and then Chief of Staff for the Special Operations Command Korea. He commanded the Joint Special Operations Task Force Philippines (JSOTF-P), served as the G3 for the United States Army Special Operations Command, and culminated his service as a member of the military faculty at the National War College. Following retirement, he served as the Associate Director of the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. Colonel Maxwell is a fellow at the Institute of Corean-American Studies, an advisory to Spirit of America, and on the Board of Directors of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, the International Council of Korean Studies, the Council on Korean-US Security Studies, the Special Operations Research Association, the OSS Society, and the Small Wars Journal. He earned a B.A. in political science from Miami University, and an M.A. in Military Arts and Science from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and from the School of Advanced Military Studies, and an M.S. in National Security Studies from the National War College. Colonel Maxwell teaches Unconventional Warfare and Special Operations for Policy Makers and Strategists.

Joe DeMare talks about his meeting with Ohio State Rep Haraz Ghanbari, lobbying against HB434, the Turn Ohio Into A Radioactive Waste Dump act. Then he interviews Kevin Kamps from Beyond Nuclear about the risks of nuclear catastrophe in Ukraine. Rebecca Wood tells us about Oxford Island, in Ireland, one of the most important bird sanctuaries in Europe. Then in Ecological News, Joe talks about the new plastics treaty, forest fires in Florida and more! 

NUKES COLLAPSING IN EUROPE WHILE RENEWABLES RISE EVERYWHERE We're joined by the great LINDA PENCE GUNTER from Beyond Nuclear to celebrate the rapid demise of atomic power in Germany.  On December 31, 2021, Germany shut three of its remaining six reactors; the last three will shut December 31, 2022. This means the world's fourth-largest economy will be totally nuke free. Meanwhile serious cracks in at least four French reactors threaten to shut that nation's electricity supply in the midst of a very cold winter. Worldwide as the epic failure of atomic power worsens, we see a massive rise in renewables. From California the great TATONKA BRICCA tells us of the Green movement to completely convert the Golden State to 100% renewables. But the fossil/nuclear industry is doing all it can to shut the spread of rooftop solar, which employs upwards of 50,000 and is providing cheap, safe, clean reliable energy statewide. Tatonka also updates us on the critical move to make California a true democracy with protected election boards and transparent redistricting. Don't miss this critical discussion of true democracy in both energy and the ballot box. 

This Week’s Featured Interviews: Radioactive nuclear waste dump dangers are the primary wheelhouse of Kevin Kamps, Radioactive Waste Watchdog (bullldog?) for Beyond Nuclear.  Kevin specializes in high-level waste management and transportation; new and existing reactors; decommissioning; environmental and public health risks associated with government and industry efforts to dump commercial irradiated fuel rods on Native...

Today on Sojourner Truth: We commemorate Earth Day, which was first celebrated on April 22, 1970. As world leaders gather today virtually for a White House climate summit, President Joe Biden has announced plans to slash green house gas emissions in half by 2030. This, as the Biden administration proposes that nations support the Paris Climate Accord, which the U.S. has now rejoined. But is this enough? Environmentalists have longed criticized the Paris Climate Accord for being too modest given the level of devastation of the environment. Many also decry what they call false solutions to the climate crisis. They say capitalism and its market-focused economy are at odds with protecting the planet. For our weekly Earth Watch, our guest is Paula Gioia, a beekeeper and peasant farmer in a community-run agroecological farm in Germany near Berlin. Japan intends to dump more than a million tons of radioactive waste water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean. This follows the 2011 incident, where six atomic power reactors were severely damaged following a 9.0 magnitude earthquake which was followed by a tsunami that damaged the nuclear plant. Our guest is Kevin Kamps, who has served as Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear since 2007. Beyond Nuclear advocates for an energy future that is sustainable, benign and democratic. On Thursday, April 22, the funeral of Daunte Wright will be held. Daunte was shot and killed by the police just ten miles from where George Floyd was killed. Since then, there have been two other police killings of Black people that we know about. Our guest is Mic Crenshaw, an anti-racist campaigner raised in Chicago and Minneapolis and now based in Portland, Oregon, where he is the Regional Director of Hip-Hop Congress. Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute, presented by Theresa Church of the Global Justice Ecology Project.

For our weekly Earth Watch, our guest is Paula Gioia, a beekeeper and peasant farmer in a community-run agroecological farm in Germany near Berlin. Japan intends to dump more than a million tons of radioactive waste water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean. This follows the 2011 incident, where six atomic power reactors were severely damaged following a 9.0 magnitude earthquake which was followed by a tsunami that damaged the nuclear plant. Our guest is Kevin Kamps, who has served as Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear since 2007. Beyond Nuclear advocates for an energy future that is sustainable, benign and democratic. On Thursday, April 22, the funeral of Daunte Wright will be held. Daunte was shot and killed by the police just ten miles from where George Floyd was killed. Since then, there have been two other police killings of Black people that we know about. Our guest is Mic Crenshaw, an anti-racist campaigner raised in Chicago and Minneapolis and now based in Portland, Oregon, where he is the Regional Director of Hip-Hop Congress. Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute, presented by Theresa Church of the Global Justice Ecology Project.

Today on Sojourner Truth: We commemorate Earth Day, which was first celebrated on April 22, 1970. As world leaders gather today virtually for a White House climate summit, President Joe Biden has announced plans to slash green house gas emissions in half by 2030. This, as the Biden administration proposes that nations support the Paris Climate Accord, which the U.S. has now rejoined. But is this enough?
