You see crazy food prices! Last week I covered preparing an emergency food supply on a budget. The next step is community food growing. This Spring is a great time to start your neighborhood on Victory Gardens. This speech by Lamanda Joy to Great Lakes Bioneers tells you how. First broadcast in 2012, ways to get local food going never get old.

This week you'll hear Moon Mullican doing a song we mostly relate to Nat King Cole, then a recording by Nat that isn't well known at all. We'll also have some great Nashville recordings - and not all are country - including a record many would call rockabilly, but made by the group in the picture before that was a thing. We'll throw in an early jazz number by McKinney's Cotton Pickers - even if you don't know the band you probably know most of the players, and some great Hawaiian guitar pickin' by King Nawahi. Patsy Cline, Blue Moon Marquee and Brandon Isaak are going to help us along - should be a good show. Backbeat is also available in a 56 and 58 minute versions in three separate files if you want breaks. I am happy to provide custom station IDs, promos and liners. Email Lorne@Backbeatradio.com or visit www.backbeatradio.com for more information.

Today, we open with three voices, three videos, three warnings echoing across the digital world. Each comes from a different creator, a different background, a different corner of the political landscape. And yet, together, they reveal something deeper about the moment we are living in. Something unsettling. Something urgent. Something we can no longer afford to ignore. The first voice comes from a filmmaker who looks straight into the camera and says the quiet part out loud: “Why This War on Islam Is a War on YOU.” His message is not about religion alone. It is about the machinery of fear, how it is built, how it is funded, how it is weaponized. He argues that the narratives targeting Muslims are not accidents, not misunderstandings, not isolated bursts of prejudice. They are engineered. Manufactured. Designed to divide the public and distract from the crises that actually shape our lives. And as he speaks, you feel the weight of his warning: when a society is taught to fear one group, it becomes easier to manipulate all groups. The war on Islam, he says, is not just about Muslims. It is about the public itself, about how easily fear can be turned into policy, and how quickly policy can become violence. Then comes the second voice, a commentator stepping into the spotlight with a confession: “I Was WRONG - My Apology for Israel Criticism.” His tone is heavy, conflicted, almost trembling under the pressure of a public reversal. He tells his audience that he has reevaluated his stance, that he now sees Israel’s actions differently, that he feels compelled to correct himself. Whether one agrees with him or not, the moment is revealing. It exposes the immense pressure placed on public figures who speak about Israel and Palestine, the scrutiny, the backlash, the expectation to align with certain narratives. His apology becomes more than a personal statement; it becomes a symbol of how volatile this conversation has become, how quickly voices can shift, and how deeply political narratives shape what people feel safe to say. It forces us to ask: when someone changes their position so publicly, is it conviction? Is it pressure? Is it fear? Or is it the weight of a narrative that leaves little room for dissent? And then, the third voice, perhaps the most haunting of all. A journalist staring into the lens, saying: “This Gaza Fact Will SICKEN You - Media Covers It Up.” He speaks of entire Palestinian families erased, not metaphorically, not symbolically, but literally removed from the civil registry. Grandparents, parents, children, infants, whole bloodlines gone. He asks why this is not front page news everywhere. Why the world is not screaming. Why the deaths of thousands of Palestinians are treated as footnotes, as background noise, as tragedies too inconvenient to acknowledge. His voice cracks with urgency as he describes the scale of loss, the silence surrounding it, and the moral failure of media systems that choose what suffering is worthy of attention and what suffering is allowed to disappear. Three videos. Three narratives. Three alarms ringing at once. One warns us about the weaponization of fear. One reveals the pressure shaping public speech. One exposes the erasure of human lives. Together, they paint a picture of a world where truth is contested, where narratives are engineered, where silence is strategic, and where the cost of speaking, or not speaking, is measured in lives. Tonight, we bring these voices into the same room. Not to endorse them. Not to dismiss them. But to understand what they reveal about the world we are living in, a world where propaganda is polished, where apologies are politicized, and where the suffering of an entire people can be buried beneath headlines that never come. This is This Week in Palestine. And today, we begin by listening, not to the noise, but to the warnings hidden beneath it.

Ed Reinhart alias Earl Dixon, has been “boogying” his way around Mendocino County for over three decades. He has been calling himself “Rico Suave” since his last trip to Ecuador. Reinhart is best know as the king of boogie-woogie and blues.

He has been the front man for many local boogie/R&B bands including the “Burning Sensations”. Recently Reinhart has been living in Italy and Virginia, we began our visit by asking him what had taken him to live away from Mendocino over the last few years.
