POPULARITY
KEEPING THE FAITH WHILE FIGHTING FOR A SOLARTOPIAN GREEN-POWERED EARTH WHILE FINALLY BURYING THE NUKE POWER INDUSTRY We start our GREEP Zoom #221 with DR. NANCY NIPARKO & her exhortation to keep the faith & not lose hope, however difficult the times may be. The FAR OUT documentary film is endorsed by DR. RUTH STRAUSS who also demands the return of Abrego Garcia after he's been disappeared to El Salvador. The name of this terror victim is shouted out by MYLA RESON with the warning that this could happen to any and all of us at the whim of Donald Trump. ON ENERGY: From DOROTHY REIK we hear about SB540 which would open the door to new nukes & to kill the ability of California to control its own energy supplies. The legendary KEVIN KAMPS warns of the gargantuan subsidies proposed to insanely re-start Michigan's Palisades despite the exponential cost overruns already with us, and despite disturbing reports of an epidemic of cancer in a nearby golf club, indicating major radiation releases from the nearby reactor; there are “start dates” for nuclear disasters, he said, but there are no end dates. We're reminded by MIKE HERSH that a major driving force for the “civilian” reactor industry is the on-going production materials for atomic weapons. The radioactive insanity as spread over New Mexico is exposed by MYLA RESON. The horrors of the radioactive fallout from Trinity, the first atomic bomb test, has studied in part by JOE MANGANO of the Radiation & Health Project, who wonders what kind of health survey could be supported by Robert F. Kennedy's federal agency; RFK, Jr's uncle, the late US Senator Ted Kennedy, long ago advocated such a study. Joe tells us of a study involving 16 of the oldest US nukes & found a clear correlation between cancer death rates and early and later plant operations. California's 2018 master plan to phase out the two reactors at Diablo & phase in a renewable energy base is laid wholly at the feed of Gov. Gavin Newsom. Kevin Kamps tells us that at least 10% of the ratepayers in Georgia's Vogtle rate region can't pay their bills to keep their lights on because of the huge charges coming from the two new nukes. We then take the plunge into the stock market and the insider manipulations of Donald Trump's tariffs, whose announcements let his friends and family sell and buy at obscene levels of grift. We also delve into the little-discussed T-Bills/government bonds that have stabilized the US and global economies. The loss of confidence in T-bills could signal a death knell for the American economy as reflected by the global loss of confidence in the US economy and the Dollar. “Women Rising Radio” host LYNN FEINERMAN wonders if we are thus headed into a Depression…or are we already there? The importance of the bond market, says MIKE HERSH, is valued by very powerful moneyed interest whose presence in T-Bill markets can decide the fate of the global economy, especially as the US “credit rating” is being destroyed. The kinds of insider manipulations available to Trump have been worth incalculable grift to friends and family on the Trump Rolodex. Kissinger's “Mad Nixon” theory is raised by TATANKA BRICCA as we see maximum currency manipulation among those who own the bulk of global wealth. TATANKA warns further that the oligarchs want to cauterize our hearts & our souls, which can only be defeated with empathy and compassion. The California Fair Elections Act SB42 would repeal the ban on public financing of election campaigns, neutralizing the power of America's oligarchs. The documentary movie called “the Encampments” about Columbia's University's investments is introduced by DR. NANCY NIPARKO.
Host Joe DeMare talks about how nice it is to have ice and how the 2 weeks of winter seem to be over. Next he interviews Kevin Kamps from Beyond Nuclear about the UK deciding that the 150 tonnes of radioactive plutonium it "recycled" from nuclear wastes is too deadly and dangerous to use after all and so it will be turning it back into wastes again. Rebecca Woods talks about marigolds and Ecological News includes "Crazy Donny's" declaration of an "energy emergency" while banning wind and solar power.
This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug discuss PFAS from pharmaceuticals in drinking water, the toxic air in parts of Texas, and Exxon's unhappiness with California's claim that plastic is not actually recyclable. Then Kevin Kamps from Beyond Nuclear talks about the push to reactivate old nuclear power plants and build new ones, all to satisfy the power requirements of AI and cryptocurrency companies. Who bears the risk and who gets the benefit? Don't miss this episode of Green Street!
AFTER THE DELUGE, & AWAITING THE ATTACK ON RENEWABLES & DEMOCRACY: WE NAVIGATE THE AFTERMATH at GREEP Zoom #200 We begin the GREEP zoom #200 with JEN KARIUS, who worked the polls in Pennsylvania & asks for others to contact her. Then the great JOHN BRAKEY checks in from Arizona with his deep understanding of what a fair election really looks like. MYLA RESON introduces DAVID FELDMAN of “the Mop Up,” and tells us that letters are going to Kamala Harris, asking her to investigate the election outcome. Myla reads the “Duty to Warn” letter from computer expert Steven Spoonamore sent to the Democrats. From Asheville, North Carolina, ILENE PROCTOR reports on an election outcome that gave down ballot Democrats a victory along with Trump. Legendary “Flashpoints” host DENNIS BERNSTEIN warns of federal legislation designed to attack progressive non-profits. BRENDA DAVIES gratefully informs us about HR815, set to destroy activist groups nationwide. KPFK's erstwhile Chair TATANKA BRICCA warns of explosions set to go off possibly this summer. We then hear from MARGOT KING that HR 815 has been (temporarily) defeated. RUTH STRAUSS says she un-scribed from the Washington Post but thinks folks should join back up. One Payer States.org President CHUCK PENACCIO tell us of a major event coming up through his website. Central Ohio's native Nazis and their “social dementia” are called out by our engineer STEVE CARUSO. BLUESKY, a new internet service & an alternative to Twitter/X is introduced by Myla Reson. DR. ALAN TASMAN and DR. KEN THOMPSON brief us on a new community-based way of enhancing social cohesion, which we will explore in a few weeks. For a deeper dive into the election aftermath we host the audit expert RAY LUTZ, who is always full of important information. Santa Monican PAUL NEWMAN asks about the disturbing role of Starlink. KEVIN KAMPS arrives to introduce Trump's new Secretary of Energy, an outspoken opponent of renewable energy. DAVID SONNEBORN tells us that the Friend Committee on National Legislation won the US Peace Award. MIKE HERSH gives us powerful words with which to organize, as always. We will not meet next week…see you after Thanks giving!!!.
GREEP Zoom #195: From Election Protection to Renewable Energy to Outer Space We start with a beautiful poem by MIMI GERMAN, as only our poet laureate can do. ANDREA MILLER kicks us off with a deep dive into the world of phone banking aimed at enhancing voter turnout in this apocalyptic election. Former Charlotte two-term Mayor JENNIFER ROBERTS gives us the latest from Mecklenberg County. RAY MCCLENDON of Communities United tells us what is happening in the critical swing state of Georgia. Widely popular radio host EGBERTO WILLIES reports in from Texas. Co-Convenor MIKE HERSH encourages us to see the bigger picture on the democracy for which we are fighting. JIM NATHAN lays out the astounding deterioration of the dictatorial state of Florida. KPFA radio host DENNIS BERNSTEIN chimes in to invite our guests to a rally for Donald Trump with Greg Palast, producer of “Vigilantes, Inc.” From Michigan, ROGER RAPOPORT reports on the nuclear madness gathering in the Great Lakes. Radio host LYNNE FEINERMAN of “Women Rising Radio” discusses the impact of the Mid East war on the US election and the need for joy in these hard times. ELISSA RICHARDSON HALL decries the impact of the mainstream media. KEVIN KAMPS of Beyond Nuclear warns that the Biden Inflation Reduction Act calls for gargantuan handouts to the scam atomic power industry. The predatory nature of the nuke power industry is underlined by both MYLA RESON and RAY LUTZ. The brave new world of UFO investigation is introduced by TATANKA BRICCA in intriguing detail. Engineer STEVE CARUSO tells us that China has called for “No First Use” of nuclear weapons…. …a fitting way to end today's astounding session, and to invite you all to join us next week!!!
PROTECTING THE 2024 VOTE, & A WEBINAR ON NEW NUKES > > We start GREEP Zoom #193 with the great ANDREA MILLER, who lays out her powerful push for getting out the vote in key swing states, including Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. > > STEPHEN SPITZ explains his very mixed experience with young election workers at the University of Michigan. > > RAY MCCLENDON follows by describing the mixed impacts of manipulated polls and the stripping of voter registration rolls in Georgia and elsewhere. > > A major election outcome prediction made by Alan Lichtman, who has been right many times before, is analyzed by TATANKA BRICCA. > > > We then shift gears to our Nuclear Webinar, starting with Michigan-based reporter ROGER RAPOPORT, who gives us the low-down on the insane attempt to re-fire the Palisades atomic reactor. > > World-renowned health researcher JOE MANGANO confirms the death toll from TMI, Fermi, Palisades and other nukes linked to radiation emissions from these “perfectly safe” loser reactors. > KEVIN KAMPS of Beyond Nuclear adds Fermi I and other destroyed or decrepit nukes to the murderous list. We pay homage to the great Philadelphia Inquirer op ed against TMI from the great Jane Fonda. LINDA SEELEY from the San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace updates us on the latest developments from Diablo Canyon, and reminds us that badly embrittled pressure vessel at Unit One is identical to the RPV at Palisades.. SHERI MCWHIRTER asks about the rule-making petition being circulated by Roger Rapoport. MYLA RESON reminds us of the steam generator disaster at San Onofre that forced that plant's permanent closure. Cleveland's CONNIE KLINE reports on the continuing energy disaster in Ohio. Santa Monica's PAUL NEWMAN asks about Betty Yee, a candidate for California governor who stabbed the renewables industry while she was on the Coastal Commission. LYNN FEINERMAN wonders if the fossil/nuke industry is using the “anti-woke” reaction to obstruct the rise of renewable energy worldwide. STEVE CARUSO wonders about the “crazy-whack” attack against renewables despite their plummeting price tag. Next week we will meet on Indigenous People's Day, hopefully to celebrate the release of LEONARD PELTIER.
Host Joe DeMare talks about the connection between diet and ecological destruction, singing the praises of vegans, even though he's not one himself. Next he interviews Kevin Kamps from Beyond Nuclear about the latest discoveries of corrosion in the steam tubes of the Palisades nuclear power plant, and what that means for the crooked company Holtec, claiming to be able to restart the plant for a few billion dollars. Rebecca Wood talks about the Phucket, Thailand Nine Emperor Gods Vegan Festival. Ecological News includes Ford giving away free level 2 electric car chargers and the seven countries that have already achieved 100% renewable electricity.
The Hochul administration has cracked the door open to the potential for new nuclear power plants as a way for the state to try to meet its ambitious climate goals. The prospect was once dismissed after former Gov. Andrew Cuomo closed the state's second-largest nuclear plant, Indian Point in Westchester County, in 2021, though Cuomo also engineered a $7.6 billion bailout of three failing upstate nukes. Investigative reporter Karl Grossman talks about the renewed push for nuclear not only in NY but in California and elsewhere. Karl also published Free Speech TV, "The New Nuclear Push with Kevin Kamps of Beyond Nuclear Part 1" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psPv71EODOE
INSANE ATTEMPT TO RE-START MICHIGAN REACTOR; BRILLIANT EMF PANEL Our GREEP zoom #174 begins with famed investigative reporter ROGER RAPOPORT and nuclear safety expert KEVIN KAMPS. They explore the absurd $15 billion scam to bilk state and federal taxpayers and ratepayers to pay for re-starting Michigan's Palisades reactor. https://www.freep.com/story/opinion/contributors/2024/04/16/michigan-palisades-nuclear-reactor-restart-risk-renewables/73133145007/ The government is spending billions to restart Michigan's Palisades reactor. Why? | Opinion Michigan and the federal government will spend billions to restart the Palisades nuclear reactor. They should invest in renewable energy instead. www.freep.com The plant is 50 years old and was shut two years ago for safety reasons. Critical parts have already been stripped out. The company designated to restart the reactor—Holtec—has never operated a reactor. Roger and Kevin give us a complete tour of this atomic catastrophe in the making. WENDI LEDERMAN reports on the attacks on women's health care in Florida, Arizona and elsewhere. The legendary CAMILLA REES then convenes a world-class panel on the impacts of Electro-Magnetic Frequencies. With world-class expertise, we hear from DR. KARL MARET, MD, M.ENG; TIMOTHY SCHOECHLE, PH.D, and attorney DUNCAN CAMPBELL, Esq.

From LA activist Brenda Martinez gives us an update on the fight against 5G in southern California. LYNN FEINERMAN, DAVID SALTMAN, DR. RUTH STRAUSS, TATANKA BRICCA, RON LEONARD, MYLA RESON & others all kick in. The level of expertise on energy and EMF is unmatched. Don't miss this double session. No Nukes / No EMF!!
AN ELECTION PROTECTION COURT VICTORY * GRASSROOTS FUNDRAISING * NUCLEAR SHOW-DOWN IN MICHIGAN * “BE THE REVOLUTION” We begin GREEP gathering #172 with the multi-million-dollar SLAPP suit aiming to murder Greenpeace USA. We FOLLOW WITH Florida 2000's coup d'etat perpetrated by the violent Brooks Brother Mob, which included current Supremes John Roberts, Amy Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh. ANDREA MILLER and RAY MCCLENDON then join us to discuss the powerful new “GiveButter" fundraising website. We also hear from Andrea about the welcome dismissal—after five years!---of ridiculous voter suppression charges against an innocent Texas citizen. Ray explains the realities of voter suppression through “caging,” and cites the potential impact of the issue of abortion being on the Florida ballot this fall. RON LEONARD mocks the Democratic Party's top-down addiction, and the fatal trap of “couping.” Andrea points out that Florida's referendum allowing ex-felons to vote is still being kneecapped by requirements to pay “fines and fees” even if they aren't spelled out. RACHEL DEWOSKIN explains the rise of her “Writers for Democratic Action” and the use of the play “It Can't Happen Here (Again)” as a powerful organizing tool. Legendary writer/filmmaker ROGER RAPOPORT of Muskegon, Michigan describes his award-winning podcast series on voter turnout, and the desperate need to get people to vote. Nuclear expert/activist KEVIN KAMPS joins Roger to explain the insane dynamics of the multi-billion-dollar attempt to re-open the failed, decrepit 50-year-old Palisades nuclear reactor, sited on Michigan's west coast. RUTH STRAUSS clarifies the fine points activism among former NRC Chairs. Safe energy activists MYLA RESON and KARL GROSSMAN dissect the absurd attempt to prevent jalopy reactors like Palisades and Diablo from finding their way to the nuclear scrapheap. WENDI LEDERMAN wraps this week's Eastern Monday session by introducing writer/organizer JAY PONTI to discuss the challenges and rewards of grassroots campaigning and his new book “Be the Revolution.” Happy Easter!!! See you next week...

Host Joe DeMare talks about the abnormally warm "winter" and discusses why climate activists aren't running around, shouting and panicking. Next he interviews Kevin Kamps from Beyond Nuclear about the Atomic Safety Licensing Board's Kangaroo Kourt which held a "pre-hearing" that they will most likely use to deny intervenor status for groups opposed to the Perry Nuclear Plant relicensing. Then, Rebecca Wood talks about the moon and the lunar new year. Ecological News talks covers: China's reopening of their carbon credit market; Biden's "ban" on LNG exports which is not a ban and doesn't stop any exports; and the Ohio Supreme Court's decision to pack the Ohio Legislature with felons.
Kevin Kamps, Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear, gives an update on Holtec's attempts to get authorization to restart the Palisades Nuclear Plant in Michigan, currently shut down and scheduled […] The post Coalition of Environmental Groups Attempt to Halt Power Plant ReStart appeared first on WORT-FM 89.9.
IN THE STREETS FOR DEMOCRACY IN FLORIDA, OHIO & AT THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS/POWER PLANTS GREE-GREE # 153 begins with the great WENDI LEDERMAN's harrowing accounts of gathering signatures for Florida's pro-choice referendum. You can't hear these stories without worrying for the lives of those pounding the pavement for what's left of our democracy. RUTH STRAUSS and JUSTIN LEBLANC join in the dialog on this incredibly important life/death isue. Ohio's RACHEL COYLE explains the astounding “you can't make this stuff up” madness that's overtaken the Buckeye State on the issues of abortion, pot, democracy and more. At a key moment she connects with the great RAY MCCLENDON, hopefully leading to more grassroots democracy in the swing state heartland. STEVE CARUSO and SANDY BOLZENIUS also report in from Columbus with the latest mich-a-gass. Wendi then reports again, this time about the hideous Cop City project in Atlanta with a terrible fascistic crack-down on the basic rights of pro-democracy protestors. In our second hour we leap into the nuclear power issue and the desperate need to shut the Diablo Canyon reactors and all others throughout the world. The great KEVIN KAMPS of Beyond Nuclear joins LINDA SEELEY of the San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace (www.mothersforpeace.org) to discuss the strategies of fighting sick atomic reactors in Michigan and California. We also hear from DONNA GILMORE, TORGEN JOHNSON, TATANKA BRICCA, JENNIFER TANNER, ROBERT FREEHLING, KARL GROSSMAN, PAT MARIDA , MYLA RESON and more help us navigate the absolutely essential path to making our state and world post-nuclear. We also hear from DONNA GILMORE, TORGEN JOHNSON, TATANKA BRICCA, JIM HEDDLE, MARY BETH BRANGAN, JENNIFER TANNER, ROBERT FREEHLING, KARL GROSSMAN, PAT MARIDA , MYLA RESON and more help us navigate the absolutely essential path to making our state and world post-nuclear.
Guest Host Joseph D. DeMare talks about Energy Secretary's Big Lie that she tweeted at the International Atomic Energy Agency's annual meeting. Next we have two guests, talking about two urgent issues: Kevin Kamps from Beyond Nuclear talks about the fight to keep the crumbling Palisades nuclear plant from reopening, and Stephany Seay tells us about the Yellowstone bison management plan EIS. Comments are due October 10. more information can be found at www.roamfreenation.org. Then Rebecca Wood talks about the ecology of the Sinai Peninsula. Ecological News includes California's rapid battery deployment and ancient trees in Australia.
GREEP #150: NUCLEAR POWER & PACIFICA RADIO Our Green Grassroots Emergency Election Protection show begins with a deep dive into the curse of atomic power that continues to plague our planet and species. We start with MARY BETH BRANGAN and JIM HEDDLE of the Environmental Options Network, who tell us about their spectacular new documentary “The San Onofre Syndrome,” due to be released in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 8, with virtual availability on October 15. The film documents the magnificent citizens movement that against all odds shut units 2 & 3 at San Onofre, only to see the company and the regulators leave multiple tons of radioactive waste lying on the beach, within mere yards of the high tide line. LINDA SEELEY of the San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace lays out the hard realities of fighting to shut the two reactors at Diablo Canyon, where a refueling outage will allow major testing to take place….if the regulators are forced to do so. During this shut-down the safe energy movement will demand testing for embrittlement, pipe cracking, seismic stability, evacuation planning and other safety factors before the plant can re-open. This huge confrontation will define the future of energy in California. The reactors are surrounded by 13 earthquake faults and are operated by Pacific Gas & Electric, a criminal operation defined by more than 80 federal manslaughter convictions. California has more than enough renewable energy to power the state cheaply, cleanly and safely, and has no need whatsoever for this insanely dangerous power source. Likewise Michigan's Palisades, where the great KEVIN KAMPS tells us how this dangerous, decrepit atomic jalopy has been shut….and is now insanely being given hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to reopen. TATANKA BRICCA asks about strategic planning to mount civil disobedience resistance to these nuclear nightmares. ROBIN HARPER, MYLA RESON and MIMI SPREADBURY chime in with critical California perspectives. LIBBE HALEVY, author of YES I GLOW IN THE DARK, an up-close-and-personal account of the nightmare at Three Mile Island, connects us with her excellent NUCLEAR HOTSEAT podcast. We are then honored with the presence of the great JAN GOODMAN, cofounder of the New Day Pacifica organization aimed at saving the treasured network. MIKE HERSH, MYLA RESON, DAVID SALTMAN and others dig into the utter madhouse of the Pacifica nightmare. Saltman asks the all-important question: “Where's the dead camel buried?” WENDI LEDERMAN, STEVE KAISER and LYNN FEINERMAN wrap these two amazing discussions, which we will resume in two weeks, after the Jewish New Year. No Nukes! Save Pacifica!!

The “PINK TRICKLE,” the "REACTOR GAP" & The WAR ON SOLAR As the “Red Wave” turns into a pathetic ripple, we're joined by TATANKA BRICCA and KEVIN KAMPS, two of America's leading experts on election protection, nuclear power & solar energy. We focus first on the stunning transformation of a pro-Trump “Red Wave” into at best a pink trickle. The powerful rise of women voters and Millennial/zoomers born after 1980 dominated the electorate in an outcome that has shocked the punditocracy and may have repelled a pro-fascist assault on our democracy. Like wise the California Public Utilities Commission seems now to be backing off its attempt to tax rooftop solar panels. It is messing instead with net metering paybacks, which could hurt but not kill the green energy industry. But under intense public pressure, the CPUC may be retreating from an all-out attack on an industry that employs more than 70k workers in CA alone. At the same time CA Gov. Gavin Newsom and MI Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are boosting dangerously decayed old atomic reactors for future operations. Their apocalyptic potential fallout threatens the future of us all. Don't miss hearing how we can stop them!!!
Joe DeMare talks about the twitter battles surrounding Greta Thunberg's opinion that Germany should leave its nukes running rather than restart coal plants. Next he interviews Kevin Kamps from Beyond Nuclear about court battles to stop "interim" nuclear waste dumps in Texas and New Mexico. Rebecca Wood tells us all about the tulip tree. Ecological News includes the story of 70% of the wild animals in the world having been eliminated since 1970 and upcoming supreme court decisions that could eliminate the clean water act and native tribal sovereignty.

SHUTTING DOWN THE DEADLY NUKE POWER PLANTS The legendary Kevin Kamps joins us for a wide-ranging exploration of the nightmare of nuke power and the desperate need to shut America's remaining 92 reactors. The last of the US nukes (there are 400+ worldwide) average 39 years of age. They are losing huge amounts of money, uninsured, riddled with structural, maintenance, workforce, economic and other issues that threaten our existence. They are also surrounded by earthquake faults that could turn them to radioactive rubble,, as at Fukushima, Diablo Canyon, Perry, North Anna and far too many more. Meanwhile, the Biden Administration and its Energy Secretary want to use federal money to keep them operating. KEVIN KAMPS is one of the world's top experts and activists on this issue. Don't miss this in-depth hour-long No Nukes conversation.

The Fourth Great Turning and a new geopolitical era is here. It's small comfort as we watch Ukrainians slaughtered live on television, but history tells us these turning points are real. Will Russia's war damage Ukraine's 15 Nuclear Power stations or Chernobyl? Radioactive Waste Specialist, from Beyond Nuclear, Kevin Kamps joins Thom Hartmann. With the war in progress, why is nobody talking about the dangers of one or more stations being hit by Russian firepower? Or rockets hitting nuclear waste storage in Ukraine? The results could make Chernobyl look like a firecracker. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Kevin Kamps, Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear to discuss the anniversary of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons becoming international law, the growing movement against nuclear proliferation, how geopolitics affects the campaign for denuclearization as major nuclear powers continue to refuse to ratify the prohibition, and the growing movement pushing the United States to disarm and end the threat of nuclear war.
In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Greg Palast, author of several New York Times bestsellers including The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and investigative reporter, whose work you can find at gregpalast.com to discuss record rejections of mail-in ballot applications in Texas and the disproportionate impact on Black and Latino urban voters, the false idea of the fraudulent voter that is behind this voter suppression efforts and the economic elite behind the idea, the long-standing trend around voter ID laws and how they punish poor voters, and the lack of action from the Biden administration in protection of voting rights.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Paul Pumphrey, Founding Board Member of Friends of The Congo to discuss the recent coup in Burkina Faso and the resource and economic interests that neocolonial actors have that could be aided by the coup, why nations like France would be interested in the political disruption in west Africa, coup leader Lt Col. Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba's ties to France, and the mainstream media's distortion of the situation in west Africa as a problem of Islamist terrorism rather than exploitation from Western powers.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Kevin Kamps, Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear to discuss the anniversary of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons becoming international law, the growing movement against nuclear proliferation, how geopolitics affects the campaign for denuclearization as major nuclear powers continue to refuse to ratify the prohibition, and the growing movement pushing the United States to disarm and end the threat of nuclear war. Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Danny Haiphong, Contributing Editor of Black Agenda Report, Co-Host of The Left Lens, and co-author of “American Exceptionalism and American Innocence: A People's History of Fake News―From the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror” to discuss escalating tensions with Russia over Ukraine and how it fits into the broader cold war narratives against China and Russia, how Russiagate set up the propaganda war that is playing out in the tensions over Ukraine, the accusation of alternative media that dares to challenge the Russiagate narrative as propaganda, and how the conflict over Ukraine and the broader cold war drive against Russia conveniently attempt to distract from the failures of the United States.

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.
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.
