New York magazine journalist David Wallace-Wells warns of shrinking liveable space as the world warms. It is time to rethink everything. Is it time to panic? That depends...says Toronto clinical psychoanalyst and activist Judith Deutsch in our second interview.

I'm guest-hosting WRIR's Cause and Effect Show today. It is one of my favorites to host and to listen to. Each week's host selects an artist than digs deep into the bands and artists that influenced the featured performer and in turns the bands and artists they influenced. Stream the show every Saturday from 1 PM to 3 PM @ www.wrir.org.

In separate talks, two fine journalists discuss current affairs--ROBERT FISK and CHRIS HEDGES. Different in style, they are alike in their hatred of lies and propaganda, their command of recent history--and their disdain for Trump's presidency. Fisk discusses the war in Syria, Iran, Putin, Trump, and the flood of propaganda in the media. Hedges discusses how social justice requires economic justice and also effective means of nonviolently overturning established power. Plus a song by Yikes McGee.

Eran Efrati reports that he left the IDF because he objected to what it does. He spoke in great detail recently in Boston on policing and the U.S.-Israel Deadly Exchange. The Deadly Exchange consists of American and Israeli police visiting each others' countries, all expenses paid, nominally by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and other captured but supposedly respectable NGOs, but ultimately borne by U.S. taxpayers, to learn their counterparts' "best practices" and "up-to-the-minute security measures." That's why we're seeing more military weapons, more surveillance, more "terrorist" rhetoric, and more fascism from the cops whose job is to protect us. ADL's involvement appears designed to earn the approval of those who haven't yet learned that ADL was taken over by the Israel-can-do-no-wrong claque. It's no longer a Jewish-oriented civil rights organization. Now it's using its muscle to support and defend the state of Israel, decreeing that any criticism of Israel or its murderous policies is "antisemitic." Eran also explains the U.S. military's procedure in giving away "surplus" tanks, bombs, drones, weapons systems, heavy riot gear, etc., to local police departments. (They must actually use it within a year, or it goes back.)

This week's Global Research News Hour radio program marks Black History month with three provocative interviews relating to racial justice in America. Radio host and commentator Glen Ford shares his perspective on the state of the resistance two years into the reign of Donald Trump. Suzanne Ross of International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu Jamal brings us an update on the plight of America's most high profile political prisoner, and two of the recently released members of the Move 9 and their son talk about the crime for which they were unjustly accused and the adversity they and their fellow MOVE family members endured for more than 40 years behind prison walls.

In this week's commentary, Phil Taylor and Phil Conlon discuss Haitian history and resistance, the bipartisan support for interference in Venezuela, and Rep. Ilhan Omar's questioning of war criminal Elliott Abrams.
