Julia Whitty – For Love and Protection of the Deep Ocean

By MariaOctober 12, 2016The ocean

I met Julia Whitty in August 2010 after her investigation of the Deepwater Horizon Disaster. This is an updated program of a memorable evening triggered by the August 2016 release of the movie: Deepwater Horizon that makes no mention of the ecological consequences.
In a small Northern California town where she lives she was giving a reading from her book: Deep Blue Home, An Intimate Ecology of Our Wild Ocean. That book had been described as: “breathtakingly learned and lyrical, written with humor, reverence and curiosity.”
Julia Whitty is a diver, former nature documentary filmmaker, author and environmental correspondent for Mother Jones. She explained why the deep ocean is the foundation of life for the upper layer of the sunlit sea. Many [ . . . ]

Sea Shepherd Ocean Protectors – Captain Paul Watson

By MariaOctober 4, 2016Environment and Climate Change

This is ONE self contained program
Paul Watson was cofounder of Greenpeace and led the campaigns against the slaughter of baby seals in the late seventies. When Patrick Moore became president of Greenpeace Canada he halted direct action and forced Watson out. Today Patrick Moore is a spokesperson for Monsanto and the nuclear industry.
Paul Watson never stopped his involvement in direct action. After his ouster from Greenpeace he founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. (SSCS) It’s an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Their mission is to end the destruction of habitat and the slaughter of wildlife in the world’s oceans.
Paul Watson is both praised and criticized for Sea Shepherd’s practice of aggressive non-violence. He says that some laws and conventions [ . . . ]

Arctic Amplification, Climate Change, and Global Warming – New Challenges from the Top of the World

By MariaSeptember 21, 2016Melting IceArctic, Climate Change

Professor Peter Wadhams
With increasing urgency Wadhams is calling attention to the disappearing sea ice of the Arctic. In his most recent book, A Farewell to Ice, he writes: “Our planet has changed color. Today, from space, the top of the world in the northern summer looks blue instead of white. We have created an ocean where there was once an ice sheet.”
In a lecture in Milan, Italy, in May 2015, Peter Wadhams explained how the melting of the Arctic affects the rest of the world. He listed seven major areas, among them sea level rise, emission of methane, and extreme weather events that we already experience.
Peter Wadhams is the UK’s most experienced sea ice scientist. He has made more than [ . . . ]

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: Sustainable Development and Deep Decarbonization

How the world lost a quarter century in the quest to get to zero carbon emissions, protect biodiversity, alleviate poverty and bring about sustainability for all.
Jeffrey D. Sachs is a world renowned professor of economics, leader in sustainable development, senior UN advisor, bestselling author and syndicated columnist. His monthly newspaper columns appear in more than 100 countries.
He is the co-recipient of the 2015 Blue Planet Prize. That’s the global prize for environmental leadership. The New York Times called him “probably the most important economist in the world.”

The Project for the New American Century

By MariaAugust 10, 2016Imperial US

A reading from the document by Mime Troupe founder R.G. Davis
Introduced by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti
The paper was commissioned by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and others in the year 2000, before any of them were in government. The think tank, the Project for the New American Century, produced a blueprint for a system of world-wide US military dominance and intervention. The document remained secret until 2002 when it was discovered by the Scottish Sunday Herald.
The program opens with the peace poem: “Speak Out” by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, features General John Allen’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president with Bernie Sanders supporters shouting “no more war”; and ends with a reading by SF Mime Troupe founder R.G. Davis from the bone [ . . . ]

Who’s Counting – Marilyn Waring on Sex, Lies and Global Economics – ARCHIVE

By MariaJuly 19, 2016All Time Favorites, Banking, Newest Catalog Items

Marilyn Waring was shocked and dismayed when she learned that all countries that are members of the UN are forced to keep their books and design their budgets under the system of National Income Accounting. This GDP system counts only cash transactions in the market and recognizes no value other than money. This means there is no value to peace and to the preservation of the environment.
At age 22 (in 1974) Marilyn Waring became the youngest member of the New Zealand Parliament. She chaired the prestigious Public Expenditures Committee and became familiar with the Gross Domestic Product system and decided to disclose its pathologies in a film, her teachings at AUT University in Auckland and really her life as a [ . . . ]

The International Forum on Globalization

By MariaJuly 11, 2016Globalization

Welcome to the IFG page Updated May 22, 2006

The International Forum on Globalization held the first-ever Teach-In on the issue of globalization in New York (1995), followed by Washington, DC, (1996), Berkeley (1997), Seattle (1999) and New York (2002). TUC Radio distributes radio programs and conference tapes of these IFG events. I was present at all these Teach-Ins and many of the behind the scenes brainstorming sessions and dedicated the first eight years of TUC Radio production to globalization

These recording are still being used by writers and scholars. I am maintaining the full listings for future research.

The Secret Side of Free Trade: Voices of Opposition to the GATT

By MariaJuly 11, 2016Globalization

~ The first-ever radio series on the GATT ~
From the TUC* archive (1994)
In January 1995, the deregulated free-market system, pioneered by the US and the industrialized nations of the North, became anchored in international law. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), a huge trade agreement that binds over 120 member countries and sets the rules for about 90% of world trade, will make free trade a legal and global requirement – no longer a matter of choice. In the process the GATT was renamed the WTO.

Seed Savers Vs Monsanto – Lawrence Davis-Hollander

By MariaJuly 11, 2016Seed Sovereignty

A movement is spreading through North America and it may play a profound role in the ever clearer contradiction between corporate and community farming, between genetically modified and pure and healthy food, between monoculture and diversity. Today’s speaker, Lawrence Davis-Hollander says that finally, after the farm and gardening revival that began in the 1960 and early 70s, the seed collecting and seed saving movement is flourishing as well.
This is a rich, personal account of Davis-Hollander’s experience as collector, touching on many of the pertinent questions around seed saving, the connection to history, genetic variety, food, culture and place – and the role seed saving plays in the resistance to genetic engineering and corporate control of seeds.

Family Farmers Vs Monsanto – Attorney Daniel Ravicher

By MariaJuly 11, 2016Food & WaterGenetic Engineering, GMOs

Monsanto appeared in Federal District Court in Manhattan on January 31st, 2012, to have a suit dismissed that was filed by organic growers. At stake is: Can Monsanto sue farmers whose land was contaminated by pollen or seed from genetically modified plantings by their neighbors? The answer is that Monsanto has asserted their patent rights over those whose land was polluted by GMOs and continues to do so. Monsanto has to date filed 144 lawsuits against farmers in at least 27 different states for alleged infringement of its transgenic seed patents, while settling another 700 out of court.
Dan Ravicher, the attorney for the Organic Seed Growers & Trade Association and others, representing over 300,000 individuals, gave this summary of the [ . . . ]

Scientific Freedom in the Age of Biotechnology

By MariaJuly 11, 2016Food & Water

With Arpad Pusztai, Tyrone Hayes, John Losey and Ignacio Chapela
This program is about academic freedom, independent thinking, corporate intervention into science, the buying of academia, the collusion of regulatory agencies with the very corporations they are to oversee and maybe – most frightening of all – the invasion of the DNA, the inner spaces and the self organization of life.
Arpad Pusztai was an advocate of genetic engineering until his research with rats showed serious damage to their immune system and organ growth when they were fed with genetically engineered potatoes. He was fired from his job as Principal Scientific Officer at the Rowett Institute in Scotland, a job he had held for 30 years.

Food That Kills: The Politics Of Obesity

By MariaJuly 11, 2016Food & Water

A panel at UC Berkeley’s School of Journalism called attention to the role of the food industry in our current obesity crisis.
The media and the food industry – even government agencies – tell us that the serious current obesity crisis is our own fault and that we need to exercise more. Of course exercise is good for us but nobody tells us that the food industry, with the help of huge government subsidies, through advertising and addictive ingredients promotes ill health by feeding us grease, sugar and starch.
There is talk of law suits targeting fast food chains patterned after the law suits against the tobacco corporations. They also claimed that there was no health risk associated with smoking. The food [ . . . ]
