Jeffrey St. Clair: Been Brown So Long It Looked Like Green To Me

By Actions, Amazing Speakers & Events

The amazing folk singer Utah Phillips once said that “The earth is not dying, she is being killed and those who are killing her have addresses and names”. In this broadcast you will hear some of these names, researched by Jeffrey St. Clair whose new book is entitled: Been brown so long it looked like green to me. And, as we look closer, we see that the destruction of the environment is a bi-partisan effort.
St. Clair says that the title of his new book is a metaphor for our time. The book describes the grand awakening of the environmentalists during the Clinton years. They survived the nightmare of Reagan and Bush and their unremitting hostility to the environment. And here [ . . . ]

Scientific Freedom in the Age of Biotechnology

By Amazing Speakers & Events, Biotechnology

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.
Tyrone Hayes did research on the effects [ . . . ]

Earth Day Special – Stephen Schneider: Global Warming Update

By Amazing Speakers & Events, Environment and Climate Change

Schneider is one of the first scientists who dared speak out on the danger of global warming. Now that warming is no longer denied, he still has the most holistic view of the problem. He asks how climate and life evolved together – and how that process is falling apart. How the living and non-living parts of the earth work together, and how people are disturbing the earth.
Stephen Schneider is Professor in the Biological Sciences Department at Stanford University and former Department Director at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado. He is internationally recognized as one of the world’s leading experts in atmospheric research and its implications for environment and society.

Dr. Helen Caldicott – Four Minutes To Midnight

By Amazing Speakers & Events, Nuclear Weapons

In 2002 Helen Caldicott returned from Australia to – once again – help build an anti nuclear movement in the US. The so-called end of the Cold War had made everybody complacent. Now, thirty years after Helen Caldicott first appeared in the US and became a charismatic speaker and tireless organizer she says that matters are worse now than they were then. They are worse because the old weapons are still in place, worse because they’re building new nuclear weapons, some intended for use in space, worse because the US violates the major arms control treaties, worse because the US is now threatening the preemptive use of nuclear weapons, and worse because very few of us know these facts.

Arming The Heavens

By Amazing Speakers & Events, Nuclear Weapons

Reading from the US Air Force Transformation Flight Plan
One of TUC Radio’s best received programs was a reading from the Project for the New American Century document on Rebuilding America’s Defenses that predicted the war on Iraq. In that document the authors, among them Cheney and Rumsfeld, laid out a plan to place weapons in space in order to maintain US global reach and military superiority. Like other predictions in the PNAC document the arming of space is becoming a reality. In early 2005 the Air Force posted their Transformation Flight Plan on their web site. The plan discloses strategies for global dominance, refers to new space weapons based on laser and microwave, and makes the case for nuclear power [ . . . ]

Akira Tashiro on Depleted Uranium

By Amazing Speakers & Events, Nuclear Weapons

During the Gulf War in 1991, US and UK forces used a new weapon against Iraq. This new weapon, the depleted uranium (DU) projectile, is radioactive. Unlike atomic or hydrogen bombs, it involves no nuclear fusion or fission but nine years after the end of the war, adverse health effects from DU exposure continue to manifest themselves among military personnel and civilians in Iraq and Yugoslavia where the fighting took place, and among US and British veterans and their families. Tashiro traveled through the US, UK, and Iraq to cover this story. He is a senior staff writer for the Chugoku Shimbun, a daily newspaper with a morning edition circulation of 735,000. The Chugoku Shimbun was founded in 1892 and [ . . . ]

Burning Warheads as Fuel for Nuclear Reactors?

By Amazing Speakers & Events, Nuclear Power

Mary Olson with Jackie Cabasso
Recently a significant announcement by the Bush administration reversed a 20-year-old policy. The US and Russia will now re-process plutonium from nuclear weapons as fuel for nuclear reactors.
Mary Olson is the expert on nuclear reactors with the North Carolina office of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service ( NIRS ). She is concerned about the prospect of fueling aging nuclear reactors with plutonium, recognized as the most dangerous substance on earth.  In addition to making nuclear power even more dangerous, she says, this new program is also a concealed nuclear weapons program. New, pure weapons-grade plutonium is generated inside the reactor.
