Democrats Launch Formal Impeachment Inquiry as Republicans Scramble to Upend the Process; Massive Chilean Protests Against Inequality Shatter Illusion of Neoliberal Success Story; Journalist Who's Toured World's Climate Change Casualties, Calls for Urgent Global Response

A look at a famous baritone voice you've heard for decades until he passed...some pigs, turkeys and square dancing and groovin with the dated cheeziness of the 1970s....

Andy Zee and Bo Login, from the Revolution Club LA and a veteran of the Iraq War, join us to talk about the #OUTNOW Movement, which is seeking to mobilize hundreds and then thousands of people to be in the streets to demand that the Trump-Pence regime must go. Dread Scott, revolutionary artist, on the Slave Rebellion Re-enactment, a re-enactment of the Louisiana Slave Rebellion of 1811, the largest slave rebellion in history.

As Daoud points out, there has been little or no discussion of the impact of Israel's repression on Palestinian women, including those like herself who are citizens of Israel. In this talk at the Palestine Center in Washington DC, she discusses Palestinian women's forced role change from mothering to working -- for Jewish Israelis or their businesses. She discusses the resistance led by women during different phases since Israel’s inception. She also mentions her recent research on women in the Islamic movement and the challenges they face from within the Palestinian society and from the implications of Israel's recently imposed, draconian, "nation state law."

Katie Singer is the author of “An Electronic Silent Spring, Facing the Dangers and Creating Safe Limits”;  and the forthcoming “Our Web of Inconvenient Truths: The Internet, Energy Use, Toxic Waste and Climate Change - How on Earth Do We Shrink the Internet’s Footprint?” She is a consultant with the EMR Policy Institute, and presented her concerns about the Internet’s footprint at the 2018 UN Forum on Science, Technology & Innovation and on a January, 2019, panel with climatologist Dr. Jim Hansen. She was interviewed at the Jan 25 to Feb. 3, 2019, conference of the the Hippocrates Health Institute by Ben Zeitlin. In her first book, The Electronic Silent Spring, Katie Singer wrote on EMR’s health effects. She told me that now her focus is on the Internet's energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, toxic waste and worker hazards and surveillance. Across the United States, telecom providers have begun mapping their plans to deploy 5G microwave-emitting cellular sites throughout neighborhoods. Katie Singer says that: “Every person deserves to be informed about what’s happening and what’s within every household’s ability to control. How did we get to 5G? Why do we need it? How will it affect our health? How (or can) we prevent it?” Ben Zeitlin is asking Katie Singer some of these questions for RealTruthTalks.

There’s a quote often attributed, perhaps incorrectly, to the great economist John Maynard Keynes that “Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work for the benefit of all.” The absurdity of this notion is being played out in real time in the form of smoke-filled air and rolling blackouts in Northern California, courtesy of the state’s largest monopoly, Pacific, Gas & Electric, better known as PG&E. This week on Sea Change Radio, journalist Ben Ehrenreich joins the show to discuss his piece in The Nation on PG&E and the utility company’s most recent episode of malfeasance. Ehrenreich provides an overview of PG&E putting profits before people, looks at some possible solutions to the problem and reminds us that capitalism’s nastiness is often at odds with a healthy planet.

Phil catches Stephen Gowans on the street to discuss his searing new article about Noam Chomsky. Chomsky, commenting on the complex foreign intervention against Syria, is calling on the U.S. to maintain a military presence there in order to 'protect the Kurds.' Gowans disputes Chomsky's reasoning. 1. The occupation isn't 'small' as Chomsky alleges. Besides ground troops, there's the U.S.-directed YPG, and the massive power of the U.S. Air Force. 2. Chomsky ignores the purpose of the U.S. occupation, which is to weaken Syria and its control over its own oil, and block transit between Syria, Iraq, and Iran. Does Chomsky have a tenuous grasp of the facts, or is he a sophist? And why does he rely on Western power to sort things out?

In this episode of Back in the USSR, Siegfried discusses the crisis of homelessness in Guelph, Ontario as winter closes in. But this local crisis is hardly an isolated case in a capitalist society that treats so many people as "surplus", "worthless", "unprofitable", "expendable". All around the world we are facing a capitalism gone berserk, an austerity regime that cuts human services to the bone and facilitates the plunder of whole nations in the name of the Fortune 500. This is the monster that working class and oppressed people are rising up against all over the world. It is the monster they must slay through international solidarity.

At a time when U.S. interventionism rampages in more countries than one can count, people who think of themselves as 'liberals,' 'progressives,' and 'anti-war' are standing around with their hands in their pockets. (or even aligning themselves with the U.S. state.) It is in this atmosphere that journalist Max Blumenthal was snatched by militarized police for his earlier action in defending the Venezuelan embassy. Ajamu Baraka will be speaking on all these issues: how "humanitarian intervention" and the "responsibility to protect" are part of a neo-colonial U.S. drive to dominate the Global South. From the colonial era to the present, Euro-Americans have employed violence to reorder the world. And when the colonial state becomes stronger abroad, it has more forces to deploy at home. Baraka explains the need for Canadians to join the growing resistance.
