It's another edition of our take on Sesame Street's "Sponsored by the Letter" as our show is brought to you by the Letter G..we still can't tell you how to get to that street though.

We'll hear from two different people who have been exposing the Trump regime's concentration camps for immigrants, Silky Shah, from Detention Watch Network, and Mike Ludwig, a reporter with Truthout.org. Andy Zee, a co-initiator of RefuseFascism.org, and a participant in the National Revolution Tour, joins us to talk about the historical and present context of Trump's recent remarks about Jewish people.

PT Barnum, sometimes known as the Prince of Humbug, was born in Connecticut in 1810. In many ways, he personified the American character that Frenchman Alexis De Tocqueville described in his book, “Democracy in America.” Barnum delighted in making money and telling the truth, as he saw it. Some truths were told in the political arena, where he was twice a member of the Connecticut legislature and, in the interim, Mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Some of his truths were lies when they were told to other people, like the history of some of his circus performers. Other truths were told in his newspapers. PT Barnum, ‘PT’ as he liked to be called, was best known as the creator of the ‘Best Show On Earth,’ the Barnum and Bailey Circus. I spoke with PT Barnum, personified by Doug Mishler, in the studios of Radio Curious in July of 1996 when this program was originally broadcast. P.T. Barnum recommends “My Toils and Struggles,” the autobiography of PT Barnum. Doug Mishler recommends “The Culture of Complaint,” by Robert Hughes. Originally Broadcast: July 24, 1996

Dr. Rupert Read is teaching Philosophy at the University of East Anglia. He is a long time Green Party politician. In October 2018 Read declared himself a supporter of Extinction Rebellion, an environmental direct action group, and became a signatory of their open letters published in The Guardian. Vandana Shiva, Naomi Klein, Noam Chomsky, Bill McKibben and many more also signed on to that letter in support of Extinction Rebellion. Acting as one of Extinction Rebellion's spokespersons, Rupert Read gave a number of interviews on national news programs and was part of the Extinction Rebellion group invited to meet with the British Environment Secretary to discuss their demands. The following day the UK Parliament declared a "climate change emergency". Rupert Read was also one of over 200 academics to sign an open letter of support for the School strike for climate – a movement where children walk out of schools to demand action on climate change. In this talk Rupert Read explains that the Paris Agreement will fail and that we are facing a societal collapse. He goes through three scenarios.

Phil speaks to Shah Ghulam Qadir, the Speaker of Azad Jammu and the Kashmir Assembly, a self-governing region administered by Pakistan, about India's unilateral removal of the special status of the part of the territory of Jammu & Kashmir it occupied. Mr. Qadir notes that the UN Security Council deliberated for a total of 19 minutes last week about India's de facto annexation of the territory, the first time it dealt with the question of Kashmir in decades. The international organization, however, will have to focus on the right of the people of Jammu & Kashmir to self-determination next month, according to the speaker of the assembly, because Pakistani PM Imran Khan will be traveling to New York to address the UN General Assembly in September.

Many of us concerned with the environment are conscientious about sorting our garbage. Those of us lucky enough to live in cities with curbside recycling feel pretty good that the majority of our garbage is diverted from landfill. Well, before we get too smug about it, perhaps we should take a closer look at where that waste goes after it leaves our hands. For example, did you know that pretty much all paper milk cartons in this country are plastic-lined and therefore end up in landfills? Or that 15% of the paper we ship to China for recycling doesn’t actually get recycled? This week on Sea Change Radio, Mark Murray, the Executive Director of Californians Against Waste, reveals the garbage in our global garbage systems. We discuss what consumers, manufacturers and retailers can do to improve the current system, where gains are being made, and what areas are ripe for improvement.

Phil asks Chris Black, international criminal lawyer, about the protests in Hong Kong being labelled in the MSM a "pro-democracy" movement. Black responds that, under the century-long British occupation of Hong Kong, the inhabitants had no democratic voice in the colonial administration. Black explores the U.S. and U.K.-sponsored protest in H.K. as part of a hybrid U.S. war VS China, which includes Obama's "pivot to Asia" (a massive transfer of U.S. military assets to East Asia), Trump's trade war on China, arms sales to Taiwan (a renegade province of China), sending U.S. warships into the Taiwan Straits, the arrest of Ms. Meng in Canada, and the exclusion of Huawei from Western markets for 5G technology. Black also points out that the protestors' demands to sever H.K. from China have no basis in international law. H.K. was never an independent entity. It was a Chinese town seized by the British. And modern China, Black concludes, will never allow Hong Kong to be removed from its sovereign domain.

Is it delusion or Psychic numbing that is preventing some conservatives from seeing the mounting social problems we are experiencing. That is a question we must answer if we are going to move forward with solving the very social problems that some don’t want to acknowledge exist. We must first start with having conversations with those whom oppose us on an ideological basis, this will require our deep compassion when approaching them, for they have been taught to believe we are tricksters, miscreants and overall bad for the country. In todays podcast episode I talk about the problem facing many well to do people who are trying to speak honestly and earnestly about the issues afflicting this country presently.
