This program is about President Trump’s connections to Russia, and in particular, Paul Manafort. Manafort was the manager of Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign until he abruptly quit two and a half months before the election. We ask: who is Paul Manafort, where did he come from, and how did he became Trump’s campaign manager? What aspects of Manafort’s longtime relationships with Russian leaders and President Trump might be revealed in the pending hearings conducted by the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee? In addition, we discuss the recent non-permitted demonstrations that occurred in Russia. Our guest, Andrew Kramer (https://www.nytimes.com/by/andrew-e-kramer), is a New York Times reporter based in Moscow, Russia. Kramer, fluent in Russian, has been reporting from Moscow for the Times since 2006. This interview is the second in what may become an ongoing series of conversations with him about Russia. The book Andrew Kramer recommends is “Black Wind, White Snow: The Rise of Russia’s New Nationalism,” by Charles Clover. The program was recorded on March 27, 2017.

As we are reminded by the popular children's picture book by Taro Gomi, everyone poops. But not everyone disposes of that poop in the same way. In many countries, waste is carried away by potable drinking water, while in other places the scarcity of water has prompted different approaches. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Nick Kawa, an anthropology professor at Ohio State University and the author of “After the Flush: Rethinking the Future of Human Waste.” We take a look at how modern sewage systems evolved, learn about the potential regenerative effects of incorporating bio-solids into agriculture, and look at some new waste solutions for the estimated 3.5 billion people who lack access to safe sanitation systems.

Today we pull from a public World Government Summit lecture offered by professor of political science, Dr. Roy Casagranda discussing the economic history of the United States as well as the dismantling of the free/low-cost education system once found in the United States. In the first half of the show, discuss the idea that hard work leads to success. We challenge the idea that a few aligned factors can create a universal pathway to the American dream. We also discuss the systemic barriers and advantages present in society and how certain groups are more likely to encounter these forces. In the second half of the show, we talk about the shift in the United States’ approach to education after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. We discuss how an increase in costs was strategically implemented by conservatives to create barriers for would-be protesters and social dissenters.

First Half: In the first half of the episode, we comb through several statements typically made by folks who intend to distance themselves from racists but they end up sounding racist themselves. We examine the intention typically found behind these statements, but also how they can be perceived as problematic. Second Half: The second half of the show is dedicated to The 8 White Identities by Barnor Hesse—a supposition by the professor that segments different White identities based on their level of racist/anti-racist behavior. We give our thoughts on this insightful chart and share examples of how we see these behaviors played out in real life.

Orian Meadows spoken word on history repeating; a few words from CAPA President Erin Bosack; then artist, activist podcaster (AirGo) Damon Williams, Chicago south side movement builder introduces Amy Goodman. The independent media model she and team developed over 30 years act as an antidote to the toxic messaging of Corporate media. Both the stories and the voices that DemocracyNow! platforms are essential elements for defense of democratic institutions, civil society and humanity itself; the voices of people resisting racism, militarism and materialism, the evils that Dr. King called out one year before his murder by the State. Amy Goodman shares some of the history of DN! and Damon finds himself being interviewed by her on how he too got into journalism and organizing. Amy got her start at WBAI in New York, one of the flagship stations of the Pacifica Peace and Justice Network which was started in 1949 by WWII war resister Lew Hill after his release from prison as "a visionary alternative to commercially-driven media". Corporations, Banks, Wall Street and Universities make money off of war. Challenges to the narrative that moves the masses to act against their own interests are not in their interests. Amy mentions that billionaire owner of the Washington Post added the tag line "Democracy Dies In Darkness" to it's masthead. Its very dark there now she observes.

More trillions of $$ to the war machine rolling over Earths limits. Militarism is climate change - CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans joins us. Plus the big shift: Dr. Rene van Westen with surprising news about collapse of the Gulf Stream and AMOC. This changes everything.

Though the book this talk is based on came out in 1989, its themes remain absolutely relevant in light of the genocide in Gaza, America’s bombing of Iran, the bloody civil war in Sudan, America’s kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, and numerous other examples of empire and imperial intervention worldwide. America’s grip on the world is weakening with the rise of China, Russia and other non-western nations, and with increased weakness comes desperate violence as the empire seeks to maintain control. Nonetheless, we see heroic acts of resistance against empire: we see Iran effectively kicking the US out of its bases in the Middle East, we see the defeat of its ally Saudi Arabia in Yemen, and the severe blows inflicted on Apartheid Israel by the Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance. Increasingly, we see a world where the forces of empire cannot stand and this should give us hope for the future.
