On this special Madre Tierra episode, host Antonio Tijerino welcomes visionary advocate for environmental justice, Mark Magaña.As the Founding President & CEO of GreenLatinos, Mark has led the charge against climate change's disproportionate impact on our community since 2012. From heatwaves in Texas to hurricanes in Puerto Rico, Latinos across the United States and beyond are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. But despite the challenges, Mark refuses to back down.Through GreenLatinos, he ignites hope by nurturing a robust national network of Latino environmental and conservation advocates, fostering a culture of collaboration and collective action.On the pod, we'll hear more about Mark's journey, what GreenLatinos has planned, and explore the role of climate change and environmental racism now and in the future. We'll also take a look at what's happening in the environmental policy space and what needs to happen.Watch the full episode on our YouTube Channel today @hispanicheritageRESOURCES:Join the fight for environmental liberation.

A leader brings the weather, and in this episode, President and CEO of American Rivers, Tom Kiernan, gives us a warm summer day (with a cool breeze) and a ton of enthusiasm. T. A. and Tom K. discuss how nature has the capacity to hold us in times of stress, loss, and deep personal struggles. We hear the heartbreaking and uplifting story of how Tom Kiernan has become a devoted protector of open spaces and wild places. And we reflect on the peace that nature offers us all – the reconnection and the renewal. We learn about our rivers, why we need them, the threats they are facing, and what American Rivers is doing to help. Tom K. urges us all, “Follow your passions. Figure out what really excites you.” T. A. asks us, “What would it look like if you combined your true passion with what the world truly needs?” Join us and get inspired to do your part to protect the natural world. About Tom Kiernan: Tom Kiernan (he/him) became President and CEO of American Rivers in February 2021, leading the 78 staff that make American Rivers the nation's most trusted and influential river conservation organization. Throughout his career, Tom has been dedicated to protecting the nation's lands and waters, diversifying the conservation movement and advancing innovative solutions to benefit people and nature. Before joining American Rivers, Tom led the American Wind Energy Association for over seven years, growing the organization and advancing a clean energy policy agenda to fight climate change. As President of the National Parks Conservation Association from 1998-2013, he increased the annual budget from $16 to $35 million and led a capital campaign exceeding the $125 million goal. With his team, he established the Community Partners Program at NPCA in 1999 – one of the first diversity programs of any major conservation organization. Tom developed a love for rivers at a young age, growing up on the Potomac River in metropolitan Washington, DC. He co-founded the Rocky Mountain Outdoor Center on the Arkansas River in Colorado and worked at North Carolina's Nantahala Outdoor Center guiding trips throughout the Southeast. Today, Tom is an avid rower who spends time on the Potomac River most mornings. He received a BA from Dartmouth College and an MBA from Stanford's Graduate School of Business.

"But if you think about where nature is, you know, nature is far away. Nature is on the fringes of our society. Well, who lives in those places? It's Indigenous peoples. So, you know, a lot of these tribes are the longtime stewards of nature. So my work has really changed to be from a science focus to...more about the who and the how than that what."Today on "As Spiders Do," Angelo Villagomez, '00 shares about his work as an ocean conservationist and the power of creating human connection to enact change. Angelo grew up in the Mariana Islands and tells us a little about his family and how his experiences have impacted his life and work.Editing by Charlotte Pfamatter, Assistant Director of Student and Young Grad Programming.

In the last few years, many on the left have been calling for a “Green New Deal,” but we might have already had that. Between 1933 and 1942, the Civilian Conservation Corps enlisted more than three million young men in a project that planted two billion trees, slowed soil erosion on forty million acres of farmland, and enjoyed support across political and geographic divides. In this episode we talk with Neil Maher, author of Nature's New Deal: The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Roots of the American Environmental Movement (Oxford University Press, 2008) about how the CCC helped solidify FDR's New Deal and spread the seeds of environmental activism for generations to come. Dr. Neil Maher is a Professor of History and Master Teacher in the Federated History Department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rutgers University-Newark. He is also the author of Apollo in the Age of Aquarius (Harvard University Press, 2017). You can find out more about his work at NeilMaher.com. This episode was edited by Gary Fletcher
If you haven't noticed, our culture is pretty polarized. Ah for the days when we fought about Pepsi or Coke, Yankees or Red Sox, and flies or bait. Alas. But just because there are some major rifts between politics, religion, and worldview doesn't mean that we can't come together to improve riparian habitat and pick up trash out of a local river. Maybe, just maybe, if we take a mere conservationism approach we can do those things and have a genuine, in-person conversation with one another. Learn more about your ad choices.

David Spady, a member of the U.S. Department of Interior's National Hunting and Shooting Sports Conservation Council, gives our conservation update. Mr. Spady is the maker of the film Wolves in Government Clothing, a documentary of the re-introduction of the grey wolf into the lower 48 and the unintended consequences of elevating environmentalism over conservation, a concept he explains in detail. Separately, he is President of River Public Affairs, and he shares his view of why pro-freedom, independent talk radio content must be made available to America's 53 million-strong, Spanish-speaking audience through radio and other media. There are now efforts in the works to reach this almost completely unserved demographic. The Jacki Daily Show is working to secure Spanish translation and distribution.

He is the author of books like A Primer of Conservation Behavior, The Failure of Environmental Education (And How We Can Fix It), and The Nature of Fear: Survival Lessons from the Wild. In this episode, we talk about predator-prey research. We get first into antipredator behavior, and how it influences sociality, and we talk specifically about alarm calling and escape strategies. We then talk about arms races between predators and prey, and the sociality of predator species. Finally, we discuss how knowledge about animal behavior, with a focus on antipredator behavior, might play a role in the conservation of species. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, OLAF ALEX, JONATHAN VISSER, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, MIKKEL STORMYR, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, MORTEN EIKELAND, DR BYRD, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, MAU MARIA, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, ROOFTOWEL, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, PEDRO BONILLA, ZIEGLER, JOÃO BARBOSA, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Geoengineering and Weather Warfare are frequent topics of discussion on the show, but tonight we welcome first-time guest, Dane Wigington (GeoengineeringWatch.org) to discuss the matter. In 2021, Dane released a full-length documentary called The Dimming, so we'll learn about that, discuss the extreme weather events like the Christmas “Cyclone Bomb” Freeze, take some questions from the audience, and settle into some general conversation. In the second half, a few great calls to round-off a pretty solid evening.

“Very well then–I so declare it.” This is the story of the final “C” of President Theodore Roosevelt's Square Deal: conservationism. Teddy loves the outdoors. He loves to challenge himself in the American wilderness. He also fears the nation's natural resources and various species are disappearing. And TR won't let that stand. From Florida's Pelican Island to the Arizona Territory's extremely large canyon—perhaps “grand,” you might say—and far beyond, TR is out to create bird reserves, national parks, and national monuments that cover some 230 million acres of the United States. But are his actions executive overreach? Or does he not go far enough, as protectionists might argue? From camping with John Muir, to outflanking members of Congress, we're in for a “rough ride” as we follow Teddy on his crusade for conservationism. Learn more about your ad choices.

The brilliant Kyle Bass is the Chief Investment Officer of Hayman Capital. Kyle rose to prominence in 2008, having successfully predicted and bet against the US subprime mortgage crisis that came to a head in that year. In our highly engaging chat with Kyle, he details his inspiring journey from modest beginnings to finagling a gig on Wall Street, offers strident views on US engagement with Bejing, and talks about the thought process behind his latest venture, Conservation Equity Management—a private equity firm that marries his investment acumen with his love of nature.
Matt and V tackle the disturbing roots of today's modern conservation movement which seeks to take the vast majority of earth's ecosystems out of bounds of any human economic activity under a new global feudal system of controls. V and Matt trace modern conservationism to the British empire and fascist Germany along and explain how this movement was always connected to eugenics. We additionally address how these Anglo-Nazi programs morphed into something new during the post-WW2 era and how many leaders of the Multipolar Alliance (and their Latin American and African collaborators) are resisting its influence today.

In this episode of Real Estate for Breakfast, host Phil Coover is joined by Dan Wagner, senior vice president of government relations at The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. (Inland). During the episode, Phil and Dan discuss the history of Inland, the numerous benefits of 1031 like kind exchange, and Delaware Statutory Trusts. The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, one of the nation's largest commercial real estate and finance groups, was founded over 50 years ago by four Chicago public school teachers. Dan gives Phil an overview of the firm's modest beginnings, from its initial founding to its transformation into one of the largest residential real estate company in Chicago, and then pivots to big box retail, among other investments. Dan explains that due to tax law changes in the 1980s, Inland's four founders saved their investors from potential ruin by calling upon the Treasury to create Delaware Statutory Trust. Phil and Dan further discuss the intricacies and myriad benefits of the 1031 like kind exchange, the “401K of real estate,” and how these transactions can be used to make a positive impact on the economy. As Vice President of Government Relations at Inland, Dan keeps the company's leadership up to date on regulatory and legislative issues. He regularly interfaces with government leaders and associations on behalf of the company to ensure that important policies are implemented and upheld. Dan also serves on the Board of Trustees for the Conservation Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving and restoring the natural environment in northeastern Illinois. The Inland Real Estate of Companies manages millions of square feet of commercial property in 49 states. As a business incubator, Inland supports its member companies that provide commercial real estate-related services and alternative investment funds, including limited partnerships, institutional funds and non-listed and listed REITs, and investment advice.

In The Accidental Reef and Other Ecological Odysseys in the Great Lakes, Lynne Heasley illuminates an underwater world with a ferocious industrial history. Despite these pressures, the great lakes remain wondrous and worthy of care. From its first scene in a benighted river, where lake sturgeon thrash and spawn, this powerful book takes readers on journeys through the Great Lakes alongside fish and fishers, scuba divers and scientists, toxic pollutants and threatened communities, oil pipelines and invasive species, and Indigenous peoples and federal agencies. With dazzling illustrations from Glenn Wolff, The Accidental Reef helps us know the Great Lakes in new ways and grapple with the legacies and alternative futures that come from their abundance of natural wealth. Suffused with curiosity, empathy, and wit, The Accidental Reef will not fail to astonish and inspire. As John Hartig puts it, “Heasley leads the reader to see, know, and understand these freshwater seas from different perspectives [which are] essential to developing a stewardship ethic.”Lynne Heasley is a professor in the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at Western Michigan University, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She is also the author of A Thousand Pieces of Paradise: Landscape and Property in the Kickapoo Valley and a coeditor of Border Flows: A Century of the Canadian-American Water Relationship. Lynne's book The Accidental Reef and Other Ecological Odysseys in the Great Lakes is available at msupress.org and other fine booksellers. You can find Lynne at lynneheasley.com and you can connect with the press on Facebook and @msupress on Twitter, where you can also find me @kurtmilb.The MSU Press podcast is a joint production of MSU Press and the College of Arts & Letters at Michigan State University.

Aalayna (Ah-Lay-nah) Green (she/her) is a self proclaimed unapologetic scholar activist and intersectional conservationist. She’s pursuing a BS in Zoology at Michigan State University. She’s passionate about human-environment relationships, and she studies the interconnections between wildlife crime, human-wildlife coexistence, and critical race theory and gender studies. She is the co-Environmental Education Director for Black Girl Environmentalist and seeks to position BIPOC women and nonbinary folk at the forefront of the environmental movement.Key Takeaways:Being sustainable is often positioned as a new way of doing things and often requires purchasing new items. Aalayna shares with us examples of how BIPOC communities already have sustainable lifestyle behaviours, and these need to be considered and celebrated in the sustainable lifestyles movement. Conservation solutions haven't been considering the role of women. Like in many industries, efforts to solve problems are created by men and for men. This limits our ability to address systemic and interconnected issues because we aren't looking at the problem in its entirety and are missing out crucial perspectives and key stakeholders when creating solutions.Women, non-binary, and BIPOC folk are reclaiming their space in the environmental movement and looking at how intersectional identities are impacted by environmental issues can help us have deeper conversations about the potential solutions.Classism is incredibly present in the environmental industries. To work in the space often requires higher education which often requires a level of privilege in order to access those institutions. Because BIPOC do not have as easy access to those spaces, they are often not considered for environmental jobs. However, BIPOC are more likely to be impacted by environmental issues, but their perspective is often left out of solutions and environmental work because of the lack of higher education. And the people creating the solutions have never experienced the problems they are trying to address and will also not experience the impact and consequences of the solutions.Links and resources:https://www.instagram.com/blackgirlenvironmentalist/https://www.instagram.com/aalayna.green/

Award-winning documentary filmmaker, artist, and conservationist, Susan Rockefeller, joins our hosts to discuss the meaning and actions behind the word 'sustainability.' Susan is also a designer of inspirational jewelry. She sits on the Program Committee of The Stone Barns for Sustainable Agriculture, the Global Leadership Council for NRDC, the Audubon's Women in Conservation, and is Chairwoman of Oceana's Ocean Council.Episode Highlights: 10:30 - Sustainability at times can be sustainababble. The term is overused. What I try to think about right now is how I can do less harm to the Earth. We need to look at what we are purchasing and consuming and especially look back at the simplicity of how people used to lived. Real sustainability is very vital and it should be taught throughout our lives beginning in school and through everyday life. 14:00 - 'Kiss the Ground' is one of our latest projects on Netflix. The biggest takeaways is that soil is one of the key solutions to climate change. We need to regenerate it with far less chemical and fertilizer inputs. We should combine building a healthy soil ecosystem and eating more protective foods such as legumes and fruits. 38:00 - Social media: we need more design and media literacy. Who is designing these social media programs and how are they affecting us and our children?

As the publication of his masterpiece The Birds of America wound down, an exhausted but restless John James Audubon embarked on his final project to catalogue the mammals of North America. The result was The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America, which comprised 150 folio color prints of American mammals, the first of its kind published in the United States. Katie McKinney, the Margaret Beck Pritchard Assistant Curator of Maps and Prints at Colonial Williamsburg, examines the creation of this under-appreciated work and its place in the study of American natural history.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a staggering number of businesses and much of our public life are paused across the country in the interest of health and safety. There is one place where activity has amped up since the shutdowns – construction sites along the U.S. Mexico border. Our guest is conservationist Laiken Jordahl, who works as a campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity near Arizona’s Organ Pipe National Monument. He documents the heightened activity of border wall construction on National Park land, which sits next to the Tohono O'odham tribal nation reservation and encompasses a UNESCO bioreserve.Jordahl posts on-the-ground reports and footage to his Twitter feed. He shares evidence of the Trump Administration’s disregard for federal Environmental Protections and the desecration of Native American heritage sites. He notes the Administration attempts to complete broad sections of the wall ahead of the election – and in the middle of the pandemic.As Jordahl shares, “This crisis has brought the world to its knees in a way that nothing else could. It's changed everything about our day to day lives and that's why it's so mystifying and enraging that border wall construction is continuing, and it's actually accelerating across Arizona. There are hundreds of construction workers here in our state right now that are building new miles of wall.” This episode, we speak to Jordahl, during the time of self-isolation and quarantine for COVID-19, about the accelerated pace of construction of the border wall. He shares the devastating impacts on the land and residents of the region, the ecological outcomes on endangered species and water systems, and the importance of bearing witness in the borderlands.
In this episode there is more exploration of the presidential figure Theodore Roosevelt. The episode takes a look into environmental conservationism and the legacy that Teddy Roosevelt established under his presidency. Teddy Roosevelt although he might indirectly be credited for much of contemporary environmentalism is a great champion of the American legacy and also that of the cowboy spirits. I think His approach to the environment is worth study and dedication to more fully understanding cultural time periods and the political approach to the environment.
This is a segment of episode #216 of Last Born In The Wilderness “The Armed Lifeboat: Eco-fascism & The Roots Of Conservationism In America w/ Sam Adler-Bell.” Listen to the full episode: http://bit.ly/LBWadlerbell Read Sam’s article ‘Why White Supremacists Are Hooked on Green Living’ published by The New Republic: http://bit.ly/2BgKsRG In this segment of my interview with Sam Adler-Bell, freelance journalist and co-host of the Know Your Enemy podcast, we discuss his article ‘Why White Supremacists Are Hooked on Green Living,’ published by The New Republic. In this discussion with Sam, I ask him to elaborate on his research into the deeper connections between the roots of environmentalism and conservationism in the United States and rise of “eco-fascism” in our present time — an ideology expressed in the manifestos and stated intentions of white supremacist mass shooters in recent years, and in the rise of reactionary far right populism to refugee crises around the world. As Sam explains in his piece for The New Republic, the first thing we need to understand about this subject is that “most eco-fascists are sincere in their environmentalism,” and that the earliest forms of fascism in Europe were directly inspired by the earliest forms of environmentalism and conservationist efforts in the United States, as embodied in the projects of Teddy Rosevelt, John Muir, and Madison Grant (co-founders of the Sierra Club, 1892) with the formation of the National Parks Service in the United States. “These men shared an affinity for scientific racism. Roosevelt praised Grant’s 1916 white supremacist tome ‘The Passing of the Great Race, or The Racial Basis of European History’ as “a capital book.” Another fan, Adolf Hitler, wrote Grant a letter, calling the book his personal “bible.”” (http://bit.ly/2BgKsRG) The point of this discussion with Sam is to understand, as leftists, how we can more fully engage with an often misunderstood but crucially important component of fascist ideology, currently manifesting as "eco-fascism" in contemporary discourse. The emergence, or reemergence, of an ecologically-conscious fascism does not come from a vacuum; it a direct response to the ecological and climate crises manifesting across the globe right now. Mass migrations and the inevitable sociopolitical responses (ultranationalism, xenophobia, the hyper-militarization of borders) is a part of this trend. We must learn to counter these trends and the dehumanizing narratives that allow space for them to grow (e.g. the Malthusian narrative of overpopulation as the main driver of these crises), and Sam and I discuss some of how that might be accomplished in this episode. Sam Adler-Bell is a writer and policy analyst in New York City. His work has appeared in The Intercept, Commonweal, The New Republic, In These Times, Jacobin and elsewhere.

[Intro: 9:45] In this episode, I speak with Sam Adler-Bell, freelance journalist and co-host of the Know Your Enemy podcast, “a leftist's guide to the conservative movement.” The subject of this interview is his article ‘Why White Supremacists Are Hooked on Green Living,’ published by The New Republic. In this discussion with Sam, I ask him to elaborate on his research into the deeper connections between the roots of environmentalism and conservationism in the United States and rise of “eco-fascism” in our present time — an ideology expressed in the manifestos and stated intentions of white supremacist mass shooters in recent years, and in the rise of reactionary far right populism to refugee crises around the world.

This week, we speak with a social enterprise that has successfully found the balance between tourism and conservationism, between revenue and social impact. Today, we speak with Billie Dumaliang from Masungi Georeserve. The organization she represents has been awarded for its efforts in building a sustainable tourist destination, but the road to its success has been anything but easy.
Here I speak with Moleek Busby, a life long conservationist, environmental advocate and ex-bouncer out of Oakland, CA. We talk shop on the bouncing mindset, environmental dynamics and the role arts play in our lives.
The Earth is changing and, whether we are the reason or not, we need to talk about it. Because we all live here on this strange rock orbiting the sun, and we rely on it for everything. We may be the dominant species on planet earth, but we need it a lot more than it needs us. We bring you this episode from the shadow of Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs, Colorado. How do we discuss our planet's climate from a responsible theology, with well-informed science, and reasonable politics? We don't have all the answers, but we invite you to join us in figuring out the pieces.
We're hard at work creating content for our next episode on the environment, but we wanted to drop a teaser about what's going on here in Colorado. Hailstorms, mountain prophesies, exhausting workouts, and general tomfoolery, mostly. Keep an eye out for the next full episode, coming your way in the next few days.
Here I interview Daniel Laggner, an avid and expert hunter. We discuss the relevance of hunting, the skills involved and its environmental impact.

Axe to the Root with Bojidar Marinov | Reconstructionist Radio Reformed Network
“The image of God in man laughs at Malthus's closed-universe paganism. The end of history will not be economic. It will come not because we have run out of resources…The end will be covenantal: it will come because the church has fulfilled the Great Commission and has made the whole world submit to Christ, and has made all His enemies His footstool. Assigned Reading: – The Population Bomb, Paul and Anne Ehrlich

Between 2009 and 2016, nearly 600 park rangers were killed in the line of duty in Africa by men poaching elephant tusks and rhino horns. In Namibia, where poaching was seen as the only way some families could stay fed, the government instituted a program in the 1980s where they began to convert poachers into “game guards.” It was a novel idea, and as the program matured the government began forming community conservancies where communities were given the rights to the animals on their land in exchange for agreeing to look after them. Today the program is seen as a huge success with the populations of cheetahs, black rhinos, and elephants all increasing dramatically. This is the sort of project that today’s guest, crime-fighting conservationist Jessica Graham, works on. Jessica spent the past ten years working first at the US State Department where she created an environmental crime program; and most recently at INTERPOL, the world’s largest international police organization. Jessica recently returned to the U.S. from France to start a consulting business focused on environmental and international security issues. She joins us to talk about the intersection of conservation and law enforcement work, and to share insights she has gained traveling to over 40 countries.
We discuss The Great Outdoors, camping, hunting, veganism, and being out in the elements and in the wilderness. Get your tent poles ready, kids.

This early Garage Hour is a fine example of the banter-beating delivery that hallmarks the show's festival-of-digression style - from off-road and trail-access issues that affect everyone with knobby tires to burger recipies and how to make the 72lb pack of frozen sausages from Costco work for you, it's in there. There's also a healthy dose of prognostication from the Garage Hour goons, as they forsee a bunch of the bad stuff coming down the pike from both federal and CA state bureaucracies as it relates to your ability to drive on trails and enjoy your backwoods self without restriction. The hosts with the most speeding tickets also dig into SpecWar, machine guns, the H1 and H2 guys, why rock & rollers are usually ugly, infighting in Formula 1, all of it kicked off balance by a call-in from Dave Stall. This episode was the Garage Hour's One-Month Anniversary, so join the cohosts in their universal state of stunned that it lasted this long. On-air with Hostus Newguystus Justin Fort is none other than Dirty Dave.
Vintage supersauce: this Garage Hour Reload is the good old stuff. From the music-fail intro, F1 and District 9 to the roots of our disdain for Nick Cage and our limitless adoration of Queens of the Stone Age, this one's full of it. Grizzly Chris and Dirty Dave join Hostus Maximus Justin Fort in-studio. Once past the basics, the Garage Hour goons also peel away a few layers of their psyche with everything from Mogfest (Unimogs and Pinzgauers, and how easy they are to break on-trail), Deliverance, Robbie Knievel jumping Obama voters with a D9 bulldozer, Led Zeppelin for fun and snowboarding, the joy and agony that is your remodel, treading light on-trail, Richard Nixon on Futurama, exploding truck parts, and an undying hatred of the Cash for Clunkers program. Remember, conservative conservationism is more than just saving ammo - take care of your resources before someone does it for you.
Excellent early Garage Hour - episodes like this are what brought the show to life way back in 2009... Everything from CanAm to Batman, fake mechanics and poseur Farves, Orwellian education, chicken legs, Grand Prix.com, team orders, TV laws, smog laws, thunderboats and deep-vees, the unfortunately named Dimebag Darrell (RIP) and tales of a mentally insane cannibal who was taken to the fair. And like every Garage Hour, there's a serious moment or two - Dirty Dave, Grizzly Chris and hillclimbin' slicer-dicer Justin Fort chat about the need for conservatives to conserve on their own, before someone with less scruples but a bigger stick up their butt tries to force you to. jf
On this episode of the Center on Human Exceptionalism Podcast, host David Boze and senior fellow Wesley J. Smith discuss a recent environmental movement that is pushing for the international recognition of "ecocide" as a crime against peace. The promoters of the concept of "ecocide" seek to thwart human development of resources in order to protect the flora and fauna as equal to human beings. Smith discusses his concern over the rejection of the notion of conservation for the sake of the pursuit of environmental policies that would put an end to the modern world as we know it.
