Introduction, Andy Zee & Annie Day. STATE OF EMERGENCY: CHAINS ON PEOPLE WHO DESPERATELY NEED TO BE FREE by Bob Avakian. Noche Diaz announces: THE REVCOM CORPS For The Emancipation Of Humanity. Annie Day on the monumental horror that looms in Rafah. Why is Biden, and basically the entire government and ruling class of the US, supporting Israel in carrying out genocide against the Palestinian people? (an excerpt from Bob Avakian's social media dispatch Revolution 7). Bob Avakian, Revolution 10.
In this episode, Dan and Ron discuss various topics including the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a new type of magnetism, self-healing metal, romantic AI chatbots, fraud and liability, and fact-checking. They cover topics such as a misattributed message from the Pope, the claim that the Catholic Church created Islam, Donald Trump's gold tennis shoes, and a $5 hand-held breast cancer testing kit. The conversation ends with closing remarks and well wishes.
Sometimes it seems as though Democrats are more determined to “fall in love” than to win elections. Lately I’ve been hearing, from both pundits and friends, that Joe Biden is simply too old to run for reelection. This week on Sea Change Radio, we hear from John Stoehr, the Editor and Founder of The Editorial Board, to get his insights into the 2024 presidential election. We look at some of the calls from media members like Ezra Klein and Nate Silver for Biden to step aside, discuss how Republicans are taking a much bigger leap of faith by re-nominating Donald Trump, and counter some of the critics with practical arguments for why the Democrats might want to stick with Joe Biden as their nominee in August.
Matt Simon is the author of the book: A Poison Like No Other, How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies.
He traces how the plastic we are using and discarding breaks into ever smaller pieces that poison water, soil and the atmosphere. Scientists have found micro plastics in the deepest ocean trenches and in snow of the North and South Poles. They are in our food, and from there travel though our bodies. And most plastic is made from a mix of toxic petro-chemicals.
Matt Simon has been a science journalist at Wired magazine for nine years. He covers a range of beats, including biology, robotics, climate change, and of course, microplastic pollution.
The Surfrider Foundation is a grassroots non-profit environmental organization that works to protect and preserve the world's oceans, waves and beaches. They held the ZOOM with Matt Simon on Jan 23, 2024.

Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2024.03.00
Why Capitalism Has to Die Because it is a System Created to Promote and Maintain Minoritarian White Rule Over the World
With Clips from Vox, Nathaniel Hylton, Market Power, Crash Course, Noah Zerbe & The Military Show
So, the episode title doesn’t explain the entirety of the episode (surprise, right). The fact is, most people do not connect Racism and the idea of minoritarian global rulership with Capitalism, but the three have quite a bit to do with each other. Europe, as a hegemonic power, has gained its dominance through the utilization of Capitalism and its twin forces, Imperialism and Colonialism. As the world readies itself to shift away from that arrangement, Capitalism will become increasingly unimportant and unworkable. Why, because the fundamental purpose Capitalism has for existing is to enable the Minoritarian rule of Europe to continue uninterrupted. Every major aspect to Capitalism rests on this idea, though we have been taught to ignore this idea; in the final analysis, it is clear as day. Further, as the world begins to re-evaluate the principles its citizens would like to live under, Humanitarianism will dictate something more friendly to Human Social Cues and Humanities natural Community orientation; will have to be created as Capitalism’s profit first, consumption second, anti-democracy third and pro-individualistic, anti-communitarian forth; will prove to be to destructive to these needs for it to continue in use. What shall replace it, well that is to be answered; but it will be replaced. The lessons learned from it will be its greatest contribution to the future of this planet; as well as the scattered scars to this planet its overburdening created by its pursuit of its aforementioned principles. This is going to be the last major macro vision episode I publish for a while (notice the first three episodes published under the year 2024 had this as an unmentioned theme) but it won’t be the last this year. I have more topics to get to before the election season arrives. Hope you enjoy it.

Article Reaction (Before I Called these That)
Test 00, Part 1 to the Article, Designing A Better Regulatory State
I have been trying to find the right time to begin posting these; unfortunately, I never could. Recorded during the first months in 2023, this was meant to be a one-off episode – series. But soon, after completing this two parter I found another article to read, which upon finishing it was supposed to be the last. . . .you see where this is going. After the third article read I readjusted my thinking and committed to producing these regularly, which I immediately failed on – till this year. I am publishing it now, nearly a year after I recorded it because I had to scrap three episodes I would have been releasing now (I didn’t like their content or structure). That all said, the title gives away the purpose and structure of the episode. I read an article titled “Designing a better regulatory state” and in real time give responses to what is written. Interesting to me is this article is written by a neocon (slash) libertarian, neither typically support regulation of any kind, as they believe this is an unholy infringement on corporate rights (as human-stand-ins) and the ability for the “market” to self-regulate itself. Admittedly the writing in this article is superb, especially in the earliest moments; its superbness enables me to present some much needed comments on the words used to describe (in opaque terms) the reality talked about and eluded to. Ultimately this entire exercise proved the viability of this series; be prepared for this commentary, it is everything my episodes usually are – and much much more. Enjoy.
Article Reaction (Before I Called these That)
Test 00, Part 2 to the Article, Designing A Better Regulatory State
Welcome to the second part to this experimental episode, turned series. My intention, originally was to compress the entire article into one episode; but I realized that was unrealistic. My comments on the first part far exceeded my expectations, so here is Part 2. This portion starts with me reading the section, why we need a regulatory state. From this section I touch on a theme that underpins much of the work I do on this podcast, the theme is redemption. Conservatives, for the most part, have a hard time humbling themselves to the idea that they were wrong (paging Dr. Driftglass to the O.R for your award for Best Neurosurgeon) and that in their acknowledgement, they then must move quickly along the path to redemption; this requires a bit of humility and reconsideration of their previous actions, thoughts and statements. This article, turns out to be thematically structured for redemption. The author, though sometimes he seems to try to avert this, constantly castes off previous conservative thoughts on deregulation, most notably those describing any economic regulation as negative and harmful to the social dynamics economic institutions (corporations) utilize and engage with, to create the necessary profit their existence relies on to affirm their purpose for operating in a given society or community (not market for those are parasitic creations by those who see nothing beyond them but their usefulness in achieving the aims described previously, namely, profit). Okay, so I’m not a Capitalist, but I understand the importance of the economic institutions in maintaining social stability, hence why I never call for them to be torn down wholesale without a plan for replacing the. But I digress. Hope you enjoy this second part.
