CLIMATE  ACTION SHOWProduced by Vivien LangfordECO-SOCIALIST PERSPECTIVES  FROM CANADAEpisode 3 - SYSTEM CHANGE NOT CLIMATE CHANGEPLUSFIREANTS ON THE MOVE interview by Simon Walker When the young Blockade Australia person, dangling over the container port of Brisbane, said "I don't have all the answers, but others are surely working on the system change we need", it was a challenge to us to go and find the thinkers. Derrick O'Keefe in Vancouver thinks we need to be far more ambitious. Instead of wanting to protect our children and grandchildren we need to believe in a future which is safe for at least the next seven generations. He wants to see writers and creative people put their minds to the future we can work towards. Some of the ideas we discuss are from The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. Simon Walker found out about  the march of  Fireants from Reece Pianto. If you are wondering what is the connection with climate change you will be astounded. You can also get involved.

Since 2001, fire ants have maintained strongholds in and around Brisbane despite government efforts to eradicate them. With funding due to end in December 2024, federal and state agricultural ministers are convening to decide the fate of the eradication program. As the climate continues to warm, the spread of fire ants across Australia could bring disastrous results.  Fears fire ants on march as eradication funding stalls | Riverine Herald A separate review of the eradication strategy found at least $3 billion would be needed over the next five years."We've essentially agreed to the plan going forward, but most of the jurisdictions have yet to go through their budget process to secure the funding," Senator Watt said."I couldn't really put a dollar figure on how much we'll spend over the next few years."More than $140 million was set aside in June by the NSW and Queensland governments.Fire ants are considered one of the world's most invasive species.   

President Biden will remove all troops from Afghanistan after nearly 20 years, the longest war in our nation’s history. Here are two interviews from 2009: First, MATHEW HOH, a former Marine who resigned from the foreign service in protest. "American families must be reassured their dead have sacrificed for a worthy purpose…and I have lost confidence such assurances can be made." Second, MALALAI JOYA, youngest member elected to Afghan parliament in 2005, expelled in 2007. “The fact that I was kicked out of office while brutal warlords enjoyed immunity from prosecution should tell you all you need to know about the ‘democracy’ backed by NATO troops.”

In 2010, Malalai Joya was named as one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. Malalai first made worldwide news when she publicly denounced the Taliban and corrupt warlords in Afghanistan who she claimed took power with American backing. In 2005, she was elected to the Afghan parliament, but two years later was banished for her fierce criticisms of corrupt elements in the Afghan government and the US occupation. Malalai was forced to live semi-underground and continues to tour the world speaking against the Taliban, corruption and misogyny in Afghanistan. Often referred to as "the bravest woman in Afghanistan" she is a writer, feminist and anti-war activist.

Sofia Varino talks with Malalai Joya during Joya’s trip to Berlin in April 2016 for a series of talks and speaking engagements. Joya is a renowned activist and former politician from Afghanistan and author of the memoir A Woman Among Warlords, in which she tells her story. As a member of the Afghan Parliament from 2005 to 2007, Joya spoke up against warlords and war criminals in parliament, which led to the suspension of her mandate in 2007 and earned her the title of “bravest woman in Afghanistan.” Yet when I met her, Joya highlighted instead the courage of her people, especially the women of her country. I attended her talk about torture and violence against women at K9 in Berlin and interviewed her a couple days later. The day we met, the horrific Kabul attack of April 19th, 2016 had just taken place, killing 64 people and injuring hundreds of others, and the brutality of that morning’s events permeated our conversation. Joya spoke about the importance of music, beauty, poetry and storytelling as sources of strength and resilience to keep her going in her struggle to bring democracy and emancipation to her beloved Afghanistan. This conversation was published two days after another attack in Kabul, on May 31, 2017.

Aired 11/15/09 Malalai Joya is an Afghan politician who has been called "the bravest woman in Afghanistan." As an elected member of the Wolesi Jirga from Farah province, she has publicly denounced the presence of what she considers warlords and war criminals in the parliament. The daughter of a former medical student who lost a foot while fighting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Malalai Joya was 4 years old when her family fled Afghanistan in 1982 to the refugee camps of Iran and later Pakistan. After the Soviet withdrawal, Malalai Joya returned to Afghanistan in 1998 during the Taliban's reign. As a young woman she worked as a social activist and was named a director of the non-governmental group, Organisation of Promoting Afghan Women's Capabilities (OPAWC) in the western provinces of Herat and Farah Title of Joya's autobiography "Raising My Voice", which was published in the US/Canada under the title of "A Woman Among Warlords" was published in October 2009 Noam Chomsky writes: "Perhaps the most remarkable feature of this inspiring memoir is that despite the horrors she relates, Malalai Joya leaves us with hope that the tormented people of Afghanistan can take their fate into their own hands if they are released from the grip of foreign powers, and that they can reconstruct a decent society from the wreckage left by decades of intervention and the merciless rule of the Taliban and the warlords who the invaders have imposed upon them." http://malalaijoya.com/index1024.htm
