Between the 1960s and the turn of the century, an astonishingly large number of serial killers grew up or operated in America's Pacific Northwest. Caroline Fraser's book Murderland, reviewed in the LRB by James Lasdun, argues that a significant contributing factor may have been the spew of lead fumes and other toxic emissions that billowed unchecked across the region during those decades. On this episode, James joins Tom to discuss the evidence, and what the juxtaposition of industrial lead poisoning and serial murder may tell us about different kinds of violence in modern America, even if a direct causal link remains unproved.

C'est un fléau sanitaire et environnemental auquel les habitants d'Antananarivo sont habitués : chaque année, peu avant la saison des pluies, l'air de la capitale malgache se charge de particules fines. Une épaisse fumée envahit le ciel en fin de journée. La faute aux feux de brousse environnants qui, en octobre et novembre, viennent s'ajouter au trafic automobile notamment. En plus des enfants et des personnes âgées, les travailleurs informels qui exercent leur activité en extérieur toute la journée sont parmi les plus exposés.

Téléphones portables, ordinateurs, réfrigérateurs, lave-linge, lampes, ... Des produits du quotidien qui servent, se cassent et finissent bien souvent à la poubelle. Au sein de l'Union Européenne, la mise au rebus de produits, pourtant réparables, entraîne la production de 35 millions de tonnes de déchets supplémentaires. Des quantités astronomiques que l'Europe veut tenter de réduire en renforçant le droit à la réparation des Européens via une nouvelle législation. Une réduction évidemment souhaitable alors que beaucoup de ces déchets se retrouvent en décharge à ciel ouvert sur le continent africain. Un continent où la réparation fait déjà partie du quotidien. Alors que des ateliers, des formations se multiplient pour apprendre aux consommateurs à réparer eux-mêmes leurs objets, le regard se tourne aussi vers les marques.

En Tunisie, les manifestations anti-pollution se poursuivent dans la ville de Gabès. Depuis qu'une centaine de cas d'intoxication au gaz ont été recensés ces deux derniers mois, la colère gronde contre le Groupe chimique tunisien, un complexe industriel qui transforme le phosphate en engrais. Les travailleurs du site racontent un quotidien d'usure et de résignation. Dans un café à côté du Groupe chimique tunisien, Chawki et ses collègues, tous ouvriers au sein de l'entreprise publique, regardent de loin ce qu'ils surnomment « l'ogre », en arabe… Une usine qui, selon eux, leur mange la santé et la vie. Chawki, 41 ans, est manœuvre depuis quatorze ans au sein du groupe : « Moi, je travaille dans l'unité qui produit de l'acide phosphorique, en plein dans le gaz et la saleté si on peut dire. On manque sans arrêt de matériel de sécurité, parfois pendant 4 à 5 ans. ». Il est payé 1 000  dinars, soit environ 300  euros, le double d'un SMIG tunisien. « Quand j'ai commencé à travailler pour le groupe, je n'en croyais pas mes yeux, une usine qui travaille de jour comme de nuit. De loin, j'avais l'impression que c'était comme en Europe, poursuit Chawki, et puis je suis rentré à l'intérieur et j'ai vu l'envers du décor. Ici, quand quelqu'un prend sa retraite du groupe, on dit tous : "Espérons qu'il arrive à en profiter" car, la plupart du temps, tout le monde sort malade. » S'il perd son travail en cas de démantèlement de l'usine, il retournera en mer pêcher comme le veut la tradition familiale – même si cela ne rapporte pas un revenu fixe comme son emploi actuel. « Je retournerai en mer. Ici, à la base, on vient tous de familles de pêcheurs et d'agriculteurs. Moi, je pêche, j'ai encore le bateau familial, sauf que comme tout le monde, je dois aller pêcher à 100 kilomètres d'ici à Zarzis, parce qu'à Gabès, il n'y a plus aucun poisson à cause de la pollution, ce n'est donc pas assez stable comme emploi. » Une usine essentielle pour l'économie locale Zied travaille lui aussi depuis quinze ans comme magasinier à l'usine. Il espère que des mesures soient enfin prises : « Regardez, on parle tous de nos conditions de travail, nos chefs sont au courant, mais si seulement ils sortaient publiquement et reconnaissaient leur responsabilité dans cette affaire ou au moins montraient un peu de transparence, peut-être qu'il n'y aurait pas autant de ressentiment et de manifestations. » Le ministre de l'Équipement a promis une série de mesures pour relancer les projets de dépollution au sein du groupe chimique, en stand-by depuis des années. Une décision importante, selon Khémaïs Bahri, ancien ingénieur au sein de l'entreprise qui fait vivre tout un bassin d'activités. Il questionne toutefois l'impact qu'aurait une éventuelle fermeture de l'usine : « Il y a pas mal de petites industries aux alentours du groupe chimique, pas mal d'ateliers qui font de l'entretien, des ventes de tout ce qui est rechange consommable... Tout cela aussi, ça va être impacté, ce n'est pas seulement les ouvriers ou le personnel du groupe chimique. » Environ 4 000 personnes travaillent dans le complexe du groupe. Le secteur minier représente 3% du PIB de la Tunisie, dont 80% repose sur l'exploitation du phosphate.

Magnifying the Holy Ghost Getting enough of God's people together magnifies the Holy Ghost. This magnification goes straight to God. God will be looking at it for you. Backsliders and the Hard Life The message is about backsliders and how bad it can get. It's not an easy life if you backslide on God and then come back to Him. 2 Peter 2:20-22 is referenced. "For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning." "For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them." "But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire." It's better not to have known God than to know Him and turn away. Pollution of the World The pollution of the world is a key concept. Specific examples of pollution from the Bible: Taking a wife to her sister to vex her. Uncovering nakedness during uncleanness. Lying carnally with a neighbor's wife. Passing seed through the fire to Malak. Profaning God's name. Lying with mankind as with womankind (homosexuality). Lying with any beast. Women standing before a beast to lie down. These things defile the nations that God cast out. Backsliding: Stomping on the Cross Backsliding is like stomping on the cross and Christ's sacrifice. It means you don't care about the blood-stained banner. It ultimately comes down to temptation. Results of Backsliding Self-Absorption The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways. They think whatever they do is right and everyone else is wrong. They look at people like they can "burn a hole through them." They are miserable because they willingly went back into bondage. Religious Indifference Iniquity abounds, and the love of many waxes cold. They become cold towards God. They start to disbelieve in God. Playing in the devil's playground leads to being taken home by the devil. Personal Example of Backsliding Mother backslid for 42 years. She blamed someone else for her backsliding. She was told to take the accuser's hand and go to the altar, but she didn't. This goes on in a lot of churches. Confession and Repentance Backsliders need to confess their sins and ask for repentance. They may be hiding things like drinking or engaging in the "pollution of the world." God knows everything, even if family doesn't. God is waiting for them to come back, confess, and repent. Self-Absorption and Its Consequences Backsliders think what they're doing is okay, but it's not. God will bring them back one way or another. His son is not going to be mocked. Jesus made a way of escape for a better life. The Devil's Playground The devil's playground is a place of killing, stealing, and destroying. He gets creatures in his playground by tempting them. The devil never bothered Brother Bobby until after he got saved. The devil uses family members and tells lies to cause division. God doesn't teach division or lies. The devil tries to take what you have away from God by tempting you with something shiny. Divine Displeasure Hebrews 10:38 is referenced. "Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him." God will draw back from you if you draw back from Him. It's terrible to go to bed not knowing if you'll wake up. God may take someone you love away from you. Example: David pleading with God for his child's life. Backsliders are not yielding to temptation. The devil uses friends, coworkers, or new acquaintances to draw you away from God.

A popular outdoor brand somehow thought it was a good idea to set off an elaborate, polluting firework display and we are not impressed. We learn why doofuses are strapping iPads to tortoise backs. Sarah explains what "distance self-talk" is and why it can be helpful or hurtful depending on how you use it. We talk about a "very haunted" hotel that has very strict rules about pranks, and since Susie hates pranks, she's on board. We debate the "correct" way to cut food and we learn why Susie is stressed about doing it wrong. Susie explains her rubric for what makes a one-hit-wonder, and hear why a lot of people are very sensitive when they learn an artist they happen to like only had one hit (we're looking at you Oasis fans). Plus, there's a college football program that is known for taking ridiculous player photos, and their new coach put a stop to it.

Washington's MAGA government is shoveling massive giveaways of public money to corporate elites. Worse, though, are its takeaways of people's power to battle the abuse of those same plutocratic corporations. Consider just three recent examples:Travel. Perhaps your family plans a holiday flight to visit grandma. Flying itself has become dicey, but at least the government is requiring airlines that cause long delays or cancellations to compensate us passengers for our loss. Uh… no, no more. Trump's transportation secretary (who was previously a LOBBYIST for the big airlines!) is “loosening” the rules so monopolistic airlines owe nothing to abused customers.Job opportunities. One of the nastiest wage suppression tactics of corporate bosses has been their collusion to make employees sign “noncompete” contracts. These amount to indentured servitude, preventing workers from quitting to take a better job with a competing firm. This corporate lockdown costs American workers some $40 billion a year in wages they could get in an open job market. The FTC was finally moving to ban these noncompete gimmicks – but Trump installed a corporate lackey at the FTC to snuff out this spark of workplace liberty.Pollution. Corporate lobbyists and MAGA lawmakers are rigging the rules to let industrial giants escape responsibility for their massive environmental contamination. For example, the profiteering greedheads who've deceptively caused tons of deadly “forever chemicals” to be spread on our land, water, communities, and families are to be let off the hook by the new, corporate-hugging EPA honcho. He says we taxpayers must pay for the toxic cleanup, not the polluters.If you're unclear about the meaning of “plutocracy,' there it is: Government by and for the despotic rich.Fighting plutocracy on multiple fronts is challenging work, and that's why we recommend getting involved with Public Citizen—they're strategic and have a long track record of protecting Americans on many issues.
