ABOLISH MEDICAL DEBT!

Our nation is drowning in horribly destructive debt from medical treatments, ruining lives and forcing our citizenry to choose between bankruptcy and dying for lack of health care.

Author JERRY ASHTON and publisher JUDAH FREED come to Solartopia to tell us about their amazing book END MEDICAL DEBT, which explains in riveting detail how our broken health care system is destroying the fabric of our society with over $1.5 trillion in accumulated unpaid bills.

They also lay out the realities of their amazing charity RIP Medical Debt which takes donations and turns them into liberation from the crushing horrors of massive financial liability stemming from simply trying to stay alive.

This is an incredibly powerful and important aspect to modern life….and the one you save, could be your own. If you ever have to see a doctor, go to the hospital or buy a pharmaceutical, don’t miss this show.

TRUMP’S INSANE EMERGENCY, THE GREEN NEW DEAL & HOMELESSNESS, DEALING WITH THE DIABLO NUKE

We start in Solartopia today with the great activists JOEL SEGAL and JAMES FAKUDA dealing with the Mobster-in-Chief’s insane emergency, his desperate dodge to avoid criminal prosecution and high-profile Congressional hearings.

We hear from these two great guests how our nation, in saner times, can abolish homelessness and remake our stricken society in ways that make human sense.

We then talk with atomic experts MYLA RESON and MICHAEL KEEGAN about the devastating details of the deadly realities at Diablo Canyon and other dying atomic power plants. 

 Embrittlement, cracking, deferred maintenance, earthquakes, waste, incompetence and no need for power—these are the seven deadly sins of atomic energy that could kill us all.

We must not let it happen!

SHALL SALLY HEMINGS BE RECOGNIZED AS OUR 3d FIRST LADY?

Sally Hemings was the legendary African-American co-parent with our third president, Thomas Jefferson.  

His life partner for nearly forty years, she bore him as many as eight children, at least four of whom lived to full adulthood.

The White House official record lists Jefferson’s first (white) wife, Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson, as his First Lady.  But she died some twenty years before he entered the White House.

Instead, Martha’s half-sister, Sally Hemings, occupied the room next to Tom's study at Monticello, and bore him three children while he was president, all of whom lived to bear families and lead powerful, productive lives.  In their wake have come scores of descendants scattered throughout the United States.  

We are joined to talk about this with Tom & Sally’s brilliant descendent, EVELIA JONES, and by critic ED RAMPELL and political scientist BOB FITRAKIS.

Should Sally at last be recognized as a true First Lady?  Should there be statues raised to her—including one at the Jefferson Memorial in DC?  What is her rightful place at Monticello….and in our hearts?

Don’t miss this amazing discussion with a true descendent of one of America’s most important people.

WILL PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC’S BANKRUPTCY SHUT THE DIABLO CANYON NUKES?

No question of human survival is more urgent than shutting the huge twin reactors surrounded by earthquake faults at Diablo Canyon, California.  Perched above the Pacific, 9 miles west of San Luis Obispo, these aging, defective, decrepit atomic behemoths threaten all of California and the United States with radioactive extinction.

We’re joined by long-time utilities attorney JOHN GEESMAN and expert/activist DONNA GILMORE to explore how PG&E’s looming bankruptcy could give the state of California the leverage to force at least three critical inspections at Diablo.  The mega-utility in 2010 blew up part of San Bruno, killing eight people.  It has been linked to at least 17 of the 2017-8 fires that ravaged northern California, killing scores of people while doing billions in damage and destroying one of the world’s most critical eco-systems.

PG&E must now go to the state for major financial, legal and other assistance.  In return, California might well demand a close look at the plant’s potential embrittlement problems, the likelihood that the reactor pressure vessel is cracked, the critical deficiencies in its waste management protocols, and much more.

Diablo Unit One is schedule for a 40-day refueling outage in February.  Will the state intervene to demand its safety certification where everyone knows the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will take a pass?
This discussion with Donna and John may set the tone for one of humankind’s most important life-or-death decisions.
