Mike Ferner, past Executive Director of Veterans for Peace, joins the show as co-organizer of a 40-day fast to call our attention to the continual and escalating (if that is possible) atrocities perpetrated by Israel with our complicity in Gaza. After hearing clips from Gabor Mate and Ray McGovern on why we need to do more, Mike describes how VFP, allied groups, and almost 700 people registered for the fast are doing more. Despite health challenges and aging challenges, Mike is out there in front of the UN, in front of the US Mission to the UN, with co-organizer Phil Tottenham and other members and allies making a difference. What are you going to do to stop genocide?

This week on Talk World Radio, we're talking about people in the United States who are fasting in solidarity with the people of Gaza who are being starved by the government of Israel and its supporters in the U.S. and other governments. We're talking with one person who is fasting, Mike Ferner, longtime member of and former President of Veterans For Peace, a former City Council Member in Toledo, Ohio, author of Inside the Red Zone: A Veteran For Peace Reports from Iraq.

Gideon Levy joins Glenn Diesen to share a gloomy assessment of the Middle East and asks what happens after the killing in Gaza stops, there is no plan. Kyle Kulinski, in a very short clip calls out the democrats and then equates the US and Israel with Nazi Germany. We finish with Maura O'Connell bringing Out the Guns of Love. Good time to lock and load those guns.

Brian Becker of the Socialist Program podcast joins us to talk about trump, the world, the right-wing threats worldwide, and the need for socialism now. Boomers grew up in fear of this dreaded system called socialism, even though it is and has been working in the thriving countries of Europe. Brian discusses why boomers feel this way and how to alleviate fears of a system that works for the people instead of the profiteers. For a song, we remember that 55 years ago, four students at Kent State and two more at Jackson State were killed by our government.

Esa Galloway, activist, podcaster, and friend of the show, joins us to dig deep and reflect on the substance underneath the news. Esa (Paul) Galloway returns to the show after moving from Nashville and the American Muslim Advisory Committee to activist and podcaster. We discuss Islamophobia: Is it still relevant? Anti-Semitism, so what is a Semite? If only the democrats could have... . Then remember who you are because your Existence is Your Resistance.

Doctoral Candidate at the University of Sussex, Will Faulkner discusses how science and study have neglected Nuclear Winter and why. Harvey met Will at the Nuclear Deterrence Summit as he studied the perspective of the attendees. Will describes the science behind Nuclear Winter and its catastrophic effects on the global environment, even when a country or continent has not participated in a nuclear exchange. Through his study, he is hopeful that people of the world can put pressure on the people in charge and find a way to continue to avoid nuclear exchange.

Trump is conducting an assault on any program that is good and helpful, and while we would like to talk about them all, we have to focus. Today, Suzanne Gordon and Russell Lemle of the Veterans Health Policy Institute join Bruce Carruthers of the Veterans for Peace Save Our VA (SOVA) working group to discuss trump and musk's assault on the VA and its impact not only on Veterans but on the US in general. After all, if they can hurt veterans and the VA, you know they are going to hurt YOU and Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and more.

Susan Schnall President of Veterans for Peace spoke at the Rally in DC on Friday the 14th about all things awful about the trump/musk administration and called on all veterans to speak out against the chaos. Trump and musk continue to run roughshod over the American public and in this show, Jim and Harvey point out the dangers and then share clips from Veterans who are taking a stand to stop it. We also hear from Veteran Rebecca Roberts. Then Jim meets up with Pan Walker of 103.9 Knoxville while at the Nashville March supporting the VA. We finish up with Billy Simons..

From firings to plane crashes to economic crashes to increased militarism, not to mention the deterioration of rights and the crackdown by the cops, what can we do? Craig Bardo member of Veterans for Peace, Black Alliance for Peace, Party for Socialism and Liberation sits in for Harvey Bennett who is on assignment. Craig discusses his evolution from military service member, banker, and capitalist, to a peace activist. We talk capitalism, socialism, media complicity, and the BOOMERANG EFFECT. We hear clips from capitalist Nancy Pelosi and non-capitalist Second Thought. We discuss all this and ask the question what we can do as members of Veterans for Peace.

Using clips from Professor Jeffrey Sachs as he lectures the EU Parliament and from Professor John Mearsheimer on the Daniel Davies podcast, we reflect on the oval office debacle and how vance and trump's activities may have, but hopefully not, derailed the possibilities of peace in Ukraine. We also discuss Jeffrey Sach's plea with the EU to end their childishness and work for peace.

Anthony Donovan, author, activist, and documentarian, joins Greg Mello, Executive Director of the Los Alamos Study Group, to discuss the idea of deterrence's lack of credibility and reflect on the insanity of the Nuclear Deterrence Summit. They then shift to Trump, Congress, the Budget, and what might be a positive budget cut for DOGE.

Harvey is back and shares his participation at the 2025 Nuclear Deterrence Summit just outside Washington DC, where the talk of actual deterrence was mostly absent. However, the talk of a nuclear love-fest was clear. Harvey shares some of the stories of other anti-war participants at the Bus Boys and Poets gathering and reflects on why this summit even took place. After all, it was shortly thereafter that President Trump talked about de-nuclearization and cutting the military budget in half, which was such a positive in the wake of Trump's first month in office. We finish with Sly and Stand.

With Trump's and Musk's war on DEI, Harvey and Jim revisit the discussion we had on Prince Edward County in Virginia when white supremacists decide to close all public schools for five years rather than segregate in the 1950's. There are more comparisons with what Trump and Musk are trying to do now with their war on DEI than you would expect. The problem is they are trying to expand what happened in Prince Edward County to more than just education and also take it nationwide. To finish we hear Sam Cooke's plea for change.

Margaret Kimberley of Black Agenda Report joins us to discuss the world under Trump. She weighs in on everything from the airplane disaster in DC, to the FAA, to Trumps picks, to Gaza, Ukraine, Europe, Canada, Panama, the Congo, student protests, and mainstream media failures. She also reflects on Black History Month. So buckle up it gets feisty.

With the fires raging in Southern California, Cindy Piester joins us from South California to talk about Climate Change, the fires, the hurricane in NC, and their connection to militarism. She also reflects on COP 29, Trump's drill baby drill, and is there optimism. She also turns the tables on Harvey and Jim and asks questions about nuclear war, deterrence, US hegemony and more. We finish with Peter Tosh.

We welcome Gerry Condon and Helen Jaccard back to talk about a number of issues including Pete Hegseth, Ceasefire, Trump's cabinet and then we focus on Nuclear weapons. Helen will give us an update on all things Golden Rule. Gerry talks about the work and projects of the Nuclear Abolition Work Group. Then we all talk about and help Harvey prepare for the upcoming Deterrence Summit in the DC area.

Jimmy Carter passed away and if you listen to the reflections either he was a saint or a sinner. Matt Hoh joins us to give a balanced view of Jimmy Carter from his troublesome Presidency and what was at the core of his policies to the humanitarian who called Israel an apartheid state and wielded a hammer for Habitat rather than a champagne glass at Martha's vineyard. As a result, Matt takes us into the depth of the US empire and why our Presidents should probably be called emperors instead of presidents and why Carter's legacy should be more about post-presidency.

Today we share a number of voices from a number of sources to give you a foundation on what is happening and what might be happening around Trump/Putin, Ukraine/Russia, Turkey/Syria, Turkey/Israel, US/Turkey/Israel, and more. We include clips from Owen Jones with Ilan Pappe, Judge Napolitano, and Alistair Crooke, as well as clips from the International Peace Coalition Helga Zepp-Larouch, Ray McGovern, and Larry Johnson. Then we finish up with Anything Goes, which is sung by Ella Fitzgerald.

Harvey and Jim reflect a little on the last year but primarily look at the importance of VFP radio/podcasts along with other independent news sources as our national media fail to provide us the information that we need to take on the powers and the problems that are engulfing the world. We look at media failures from covering up the Christmas Truce, to a Palestinian lawsuit, Admiral Buchanan talking about winning a nuclear war, and the most listened-to news outlet worldwide letting us down by covering for genocide. Then we turn to the VFP power structure to provide us with some hope and direction. VFP President Susan Schnall, Vice President Josh Shurley, and Program Coordinator Mike Ferner provide us with information and tools on how we need to approach this coming year as a member of VFP but also as an organization that is looking to collaborate with other peace organizations to raise our voices and efforts to make a difference.

This week on Talk World Radio we are talking about peace activism in the United States with Al Mytty who has been involved in a variety of social justice and peace programs including Pax Christi, Just Faith, Veterans For Peace, and World BEYOND War.

Upcoming Zoom on starting a World BEYOND War chapter: https://actionnetwork.org/events/online-info-session-starting-a-world-beyond-war-chapter?clear_id=true

Bruce Carruthers member of Veterans for Peace and expert on VA Health Care joins us to talk about the damage that is outlined in Project 2025 on veterans' health care and veterans' benefits. We need to be worried if you get your health care from the VA or if you are a family member of someone who does especially for those ailments that can not be directly attributed. Thus the Pact Act and coverage of ailments linked to burn pits and Agent Orange could be in jeopardy. Their goal is to make veteran's health care a profit-making business through privatization.

Harvey and Jim break down a panel discussion hosted by Scott Ritter at the National Press Club which included Dennis Kucinich, Don Kovalik, and Margaret Kimberly. With the world in chaos the panel focused on what the public needs to do and that is pepper congress with letters and calls and more. We have to get arms frozen before Biden and Blinken and Sullivan lead us over a cliff.

We have two great guests. First Dennis Speed talks about the work of the International Peace Coalition, especially concerning the thought of peace through economic cooperation. Then friend of the show and VFP member Anthony Donovan reflects on his recent visit to Vietnam and how that war 55 years ago emphasizes a connection with today's wars in Ukraine and especially Gaza. Once again the US can not help itself but be culpable.

Member of Veterans For Peace, John Wilborn, discusses the book "On Shedding an Obsolete Past: Bidding Farewell to the American Century" (by Andrew J. Bacevich, November 2022), in the context of the state of the country and the political parties after the 2024 elections. VFP Radio Hour is a monthly one-hour program hosted by veteran members of Veterans For Peace Chapter 168, Louisville. We present a variety of programs based on issues of war, peace, social justice and veteran issues. Airs on Forward Radio WFMP-LP Louisville 1065.fm and https://forwardradio.org.

KJ NOH author, activist, international scholar, and friend of the show rejoins us to talk Trump part two. KJ talks about what we might want to look out for in the international policy of a Trump administration. What might be our relations with the Far East, Middle East, Russia/Ukraine, NATO, nuclear, and climate.. Will the Trump administration be that much different on the international stage than Biden? Is there a chance Trump might end the Ukraine war, the genocide in Gaza, or attack Iran? Is there anything we should be doing or planning?

11/11/24: Coolidge Museum's Julie Bartlett Nelson & Bill Scher w/ UMass profs Rebecca Hamlin & Raz Sibii: immigration -- 1924-2024 and now Trump.

Veterans for Peace recently issued a national statement applauding the Israeli military reservists who are calling for a ceasefire and the release of hostages, and who say they will not participate in genocide. VFP has called for an end to the genocide in Gaza, for a permanent ceasefire, and for an end to US arms shipments to Israel. VFP National Board Member Nick Mottern talks with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine. https://www.veteransforpeace.org/pressroom/news/2024/10/22/veterans-peace-applaudsisraeli-soldiers-who-refuse-fight-gaz

Joseph Gerson is Executive Director of the Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security joins us to explain that the Nobel Peace prize this year is a desperate plea to the world to stop its insane rush toward nuclear confrontation. The award was given to Nihon Hidankyo, the grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, also known as Hibakusha. Joseph explains and identifies what he considers the greatest nuclear threat. We also share a clip about real journalism from real journalists, Ryan Grimm and Jeremy Scahill. We finish with Randy Newman dropping the big one.

Terry Lodge, Legal Counsel for Veterans for Peace, and Mike Ferner, Executive Director for Veterans for Peace join us to discuss the immediate need to gather a panel to indict Secretary of State Blinken and the letter to the Department of Justice outlining his culpability. Veterans for Peace is taking this major stand based on recent revelations from Propublica that Blinken lied to Congress about continuing aid to Israel, but it goes much deeper. Blinken apparently was complicit in genocide from the start. We also hear from VFP member Craig Bardo who spoke to a rally in Nashville and called for Blinken's indictment.

Ron Bettag of the Schiller Institute joins us to discuss the International Coalition of Peace and the new paradigm for peace. The Schiller Institute for decades has been advocating for people through global development through mutual cooperation. They have envisioned a worldwide land bridge, (a worldwide Belt and Road) in which the people benefit by the exchange of ideas, technologies, and development. However, they know that at this point we are on the brink of WW III and so they are bringing together worldwide voices to generate a global coalition of peacemakers to pressure worldwide leaders to stop their juvenile competitions and replace it with global cooperation. Ron also discusses the architect Lyndon Larouche and rehabilitates and sets the record straight about this man so controversial in the US media.

The massacre on the USS Liberty demonstrates the long history of betrayal and murder of Americans by Israel. Thanks to independent journalist James Li and his interview with Phil Tourney a sailor who survived the Israeli attack, we share how Israel's disdain for American lives and US complicity in that disdain goes back decades beyond Rachel Corrie. We also talk about recent actions by VFP members during our week to focus on Gaza.

MacGregor Eddy, a member of World Beyond War, WILPF, War Resisters League, and more joins us to discuss the midnight protests at Vandenberg AFB as they test ICBMs. Yes the US, four times a year launches an ICBM (thankfully without a warhead) from Vandenberg to splash down where, the Marshall Islands of course. MacGregor outlines the history of the protest with Daniel Ellsberg and the logistics of today's protest since they are no longer announced. We also remember Daniel Ellsberg and his thoughts on ICBMs and Nuclear War. We finish with Bruce Springsteen.

Veterans for Peace held a dynamic, important Convention with incredible speakers and critical topics. From climate, to militarism, to Gaza, to police brutality on campus, to the Freedom flotilla, we try to share just a little of the impact of the Convention. The Convention demonstrated just how hard VFP is working to make this world a better and more peaceful place and the results that can be achieved with dedication and commitment.

Veterans for Peace just finished a wonderful, important, timely, committed convention and in this first show, we share just a little of what went on. We share Keynote Speaker Margaret Kimberly, Four Arrows spiritual leader, Elliot Adams introducing the International Peoples Tribunal for Korean victims of US atomic bombs. We also have two military Conscientious Objectors, who share their stories and why they could not take facilitating/participating in genocide anymore. Then Bill Ehrhart shares three poems and we finish with Dave Rovics.

Rory Fanning veteran, author, conscientious objector, activist, and more joins us to talk about Veteran and American healthcare debt while we spend billions on supporting Israel's genocide. We get the genocide update from Max Blumenthal on the Judge Napolitano show after a heart-wrenching speech to the UN Security Council by the Deputy Observer from Palestine. We finish with Leonard Cohen and "Partisan."

Greg Mello, Executive Director of the Los Alamos Study Group and John Wilks Vice President of the Albuquerque Chapter of Veterans for Peace join us to discuss how the EPA, DOE, NNSA, and DOD are continuing to spend money fouling New Mexico while aggravating a Nuclear Conflict and creating a national nuclear waste catastrophe. However, there might be good news along the way as there may be cracks in the empire and crack in the military-industrial complex.

The Nuclear Facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee makes nuclear bombs. We talked to people from the Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance (OREPA) who are trying to educate people as to the dangers of that facility in making weapons, the cost overruns at the facility, and the age and instability of this Manhattan-era facility. Tanvi Kardile, Coordinator, and Rachel Stewart, Vice President of OREPA join us to discuss Oak Ridge, their efforts, and connecting to the community and the students at the University of Tennessee and other universities nationwide. They also discuss the linkage of their efforts to the students supporting divestment of the University from support of military contracts and Israeli investments.

Dr. Javeria Farooqi joins us to talk BDS its importance, its successes, its impact, and how YOU can take part in ending apartheid, occupation, and genocide. Dr. Farooqi shows us specifically the tools we can use to Boycott. From Apps to Websites, you can view products, and stores to support or avoid. She also talks about how your investments can be powerful in changing the world for the better, for the humane, for the compassionate. She also has a step-by-step guide on reviewing your investments and Jim will send you a copy if you text him at 703 403 6135.

Jack Gilroy faces jail time for trying to share Terry Lodge's VFP letter that outlines US culpability in genocide by supporting Israel. Terry Lodge drafted a letter which was signed by Susan Schnall, President and Mike Ferner, Executive Director of Veterans for Peace. The letter, addressed to the State Department, outlines the 5 laws and one Executive Order that the administration is in violation of by supporting Israel's genocide in Gaza. Of course, this criminality includes the weapon's industry so Jack Gilroy wanted to share the letter with BAE Systems in Endicott, NY where he was arrested and faces charges of trespass, so he was trespassing while trying to help BAE avoid criminal behavior. They both join us to update Jack's challenge and share Terry's VFP letter. We finish with Pete Seeger

The Veterans for Peace Nuclear Abolition working group hosted an important webinar about Nuclear Power and Nuclear weapons with William Hartung of the Quincy Institute, Linda Pentz-Gunther of Beyond Nuclear, and Greg Mello of the Los Alamos Study Group. In the show, Harvey and Jim abridged, discussed, and emphasized the topics discussed during the webinar. You will learn things you never knew and be challenged but guided to take action. We need a movement. We finish with Billy Bragg and There will be a Reckoning.

Ralph welcomes Mike Ferner from Veterans for Peace to discuss their work pushing for a ceasefire in Gaza and mobilizing their members to obstruct the gears of our military-industrial complex. Then, Ralph speaks with criminal defense attorney Leonard Goodman about a major First Amendment case that he's fighting in Florida as well as the Justice Department's tradition of targeting political dissenters. Mike Ferner served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, and he is former National Director and current Special Projects Coordinator for Veterans for Peace. He is the author of Inside the Red Zone: A Veteran for Peace Reports from Iraq.Veterans for Peace, listeners, might provoke you to say—well, why is there another veterans organization needed? Doesn't the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars fit the bill? Well, as other listeners know, those two gigantic groups have been very closely aligned with the Pentagon, they don't seem to ever see a war or an armed incursion that they don't like from the U.S. Empire.Ralph NaderEvery conflict is going to wind up ending at some point with talks and negotiations. And it's a question of—how many people do you want to kill and wound, and how much suffering do you want to cause, before you say enough and sit down at the table? That happens in every war. Mike FernerIt's not like we've got some kind of democracy, and our national policy reflects what people want to do. It's that the people who are running the show from the arms industries and so forth, they're the ones that make the political contributions, they're the ones that make the money. And those are the ones that we hold up as the mad men arsonists who are running around the world setting fires left and right. And we're running around with a bucket brigade trying to stop them. So unfortunately they've got the upper hand, but Veterans for Peace and other parts of the peace movement are doing everything that we can to change that.Mike FernerLeonard Goodman is a Chicago criminal defense lawyer, an adjunct professor of law at DePaul University College of Law, where he teaches Federal Criminal Law, and a member of the Advisory Board of the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University College of Law. He also founded the Leonard C. Goodman Institute for Investigative Reporting, which provides editorial and financial support to independent journalists pursuing in-depth investigative projects.[Penny Hess, Omali Yeshitela, and Jesse Nevel's] homes were raided, and they're now under federal indictment, facing up to 15 years in prison with absolutely no notice, no letter being sent saying, "Hey, we think because you went to Moscow that you need to register." Nothing. So what you talk about is a two-tiered justice system.Leonard Goodman Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Members of Veterans for Peace are once again not sitting idly by while the world devolves into calamity. Members Tarak Kauff, Ellen Davidson, and Anthony Donovan join us to talk about their peace walk which originated in Maine with a destination of Washington, D.C. on July 5, 2024. We caught up with them in Pennsylvania where they had just left Philadelphia on the way to Delaware and President Biden's home, Maryland past military polluters and war industry facilities to DC where they will take a stand for Peace. So far most of the walk has been inspiring with only enough problems to let them know that work has to be done and Peace is the goal. You can still join this walk, so listen to find out how. We then finish with a great version of Take Me Home Country Roads by Playing for Change.

As we remember President Kennedy's Peace Speech at American University on June 10, 1963, we realize that with each passing year, his words are more important and more recognized, but also more ignored by US leaders. This year we add the input of Dr. Jeffrey Sachs who reflects on how the last five presidents have specifically ignored President Kennedy and in fact done many of the things President Kennedy said we would never do.

Three US Military Veterans - A former US Army Ranger, a Field Artillery Officer, and an Intelligence Officer walk into a podcast to discuss IDF targeting, government corruption, and interpretations of the word "Terrorist." As we watch the brutal prosecution of the civilian population of Gaza, we are wondering if you have any veterans in your life who are still on the fence about the morality of what's happening on the ground. If so, please send them this. Thanks to special guest Josephine Guilbeau for coming on!
