On May 22nd, 2025, a coalition of military veterans, along with religious and humanitarian organizations, began a 40-day fast for Gaza with a news conference at the “Isaiah Wall” near the United Nations headquarters in New York City, then moving to the U.S. Mission to the UN. The demands of the fast, which was organized by Veterans For Peace along with 28 co-sponsoring organizations, are Full humanitarian aid to Gaza under UN authority and No more U.S. weapons to Israel. A representative number of people will fast from May 22 to June 30 in New York, with many others participating around the U.S. and beyond for as many days as they can. On May 20, UN Humanitarian Chief Tom Fletcher said 14,000 babies could die in Gaza within the following 48 hours. A statement from the fasters condemned the genocide, saying, “We are horrified and outraged that Israel is using starvation as a war tactic in clear violation of international law, and we condemn our government’s complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people.”

This week, we speak with author and activist Miko Peled about the lessons from past US government crackdowns on Palestine organizing and the story of the Holy Land Five. Electronic Intifada executive director Ali Abunimah brings us an update on debunking atrocity propaganda as an October 7th “hero” is exposed in Israel as a liar. On this week’s Resistance report, contributing editor Jon Elmer tells us about the increasing push to war in Gaza, and the Yemeni forces’ costly toll on the US Navy in the Red Sea. This episode highlights the news, interviews and reports from our livestream broadcast from April 10th, 2025.

I redid the last show and while this one never made it onto the air, it is better than the original last show. It has been my very great honour and pleasure to produce this show for all these years, and I hope that maybe a few of you maybe learned a few valuable things whilst simultaneously being entertained. So enjoy the show — and then I bid you adieu…

Sonic Café, It’s our world, so what are we gonna do with it? That’s Bob Seger from his 2014 Ride Out release. So ahh, hey welcome to my job, so yeah, I’m your host Scott Clark and this is episode 430. This week we’ve been working hard to bring you yet another great music mix, this time spanning the last 49 years. Listen for Amy Winehouse with her cover of Our Day Will Come, also music from The Anderson Council, Dashboard Confessional, Marc Valentine, a great rockabilly tune from Peggy Su & the Sexual Chocolate, plus the Clash, Buggles and more, including Bikini Girls with Machine Guns, a 2023 tune from the Courettes. And just for fun we’ll drop in a few comedy and pop culture clips along the way, just so you ahh really never know what to expect next. So yeah, welcome to my job. From our little radio way out here in the Pacific Northwest, here’s Led Zeppelin, pulled from 1975’s Physical Graffiti album, and we’re the Sonic Café.

This week, on the Global Research news Hour, we feature appearances by some of the candidates in the Canadian elections as they situate themselves and their positions in time for the April 28 national vote. We start our show with one by one discussions with three of the candidates for the riding of Winnipeg Centre which houses radio station CKUW. Then we play back excerpts of a discussion from 2018 with Saskatchewan based farmer, political activist and two time contender for leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada about how Canada is in the same position in 2017 as the Canadian colonies were in back in 1866, and now like then, pulling out of free trade with the U.S. would be to the advantage of those above the 49th parallel.

Are poets philosophers? Doesn’t the creative moment reveal a personal truth to share? Must a poem be recited the same way every time? The spontaneous spoken word is a form of poetry that sometimes leaves the listener wondering if what is said really is spontaneous. Steve Hellman is a poet who lives and speaks in Mendocino County and, in this program, shared some spontaneous spoken words. Steve Hellman recommends “Crazy Wisdom,” by Scoop Nesber. Originally Broadcast: January 15, 2005

Untrue information is called misinformation, and intentionally spread misinformation is known as disinformation. When one uses disinformation to further one’s own agenda, especially in the political realm, then the information has been weaponized. And the continued acceleration of weaponized information further erodes our trust in experts, media, and other institutional sources of accurate information, and severely damages the social trust required for a healthy democracy. The “code red” conditions now prevalent in America motivate us to revisit an episode of Thinking Clearly (from May of 2022), which explores the "Nature of Trust", and to include new, updated comments from the present.
