Solartopia Green Power & Wellness Hour - 7.20.23

NUCLEAR TERROR IN UKRAINE

 

We plunge into the radioactive horror show in Ukraine for our 144th Green Grassroots Election Protection Zoom being rebroadcast during the Solartopia Green Power & Wellness Show on PRN.

 

We are joined by the great MEDEA BENJAMIN of Code Pink who makes the plea for peace and an end to the horrific planet-threatening slaughter in Ukraine.

 

We hear further from DENYS BONDAR, who is now circulating a petition to the United Nations General Assembly to sent peacekeepers to guarantee a demilitarized zone around the six atomic reactors at Zaporizhzhia.

 

These reactors are in various stages of shut-down.  But the nearby spent fuel pools are in danger of losing their coolant.  

 

Exposure of the rods stored therein could result in radioactive fires releasing enough lethal fallout to kill millions of humans an other living things in an apocalyptic event that would dwarf the killing power of Hiroshima/Nagasaki, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima and all other catastrophic events in human history.

 

KARL GROSSMAN, TATANKA BRICCA, LYNN FEINERMAN, WENDI LEDERMAN, DOROTHY REIK, MARY DOUGLAS and many others add to the dialog.

 

This terrifying threat to all future life on this planet must be dealt with NOW!!!

 

 

 

In the second hour of the GREEP zoom, which is available via www.electionprotection2024.org, we  hear from JOSH FOX, legendary film maker and anti-fracking activist.  

 

Josh announces his kickstarter fund for his new upcoming documentary on REBEKAH JONES, powerful whistleblower on Ron DeSantis’s fascist insanity in Florida.

 

We are also joined by DAVID BROWN, progressive candidate for the state legislature in Pennsylvania.  

 

David is a musician, an environmentalist and a likely player in the future saving of our planet.  

 

David is also an activist on behalf of the separation of church and state and host of the podcast UnReasonable.

FROM OHIO MADNESS TO JULIAN ASSANGE & UKRAINIAN WEAPONS OF MASS OUTRAGE FEEDING A POTENTIAL NUKE APOCALYPSE

 

 

For our GREEP Zoom #143 at Green Power & Wellness, RACHEL COYLE explains how Ohio is trying to gut the referendum process while facing statewide votes to protect a woman’s right to choose both abortion and marijuana.

 

WENDI LEDERMAN adds in the bad news from Florida, where she is being physically harassed in the course of gathering signatures for a referendum there whose rules have already been rigged.

 

VINNIE DESTEFANO gives us the latest reporting on the murderous case of Julian Assange in contrast to the hand-wringing over Evan Gershkavitz, the Wall Street Journal reporter being held in Russia for reasons barely parallel to whatever Assange has done.

 

MIKE HERSH informs us about a critical petition now circulating from Reps. Barbara Lee and Mark Pocan to finally slash some of the excess money being wasted on the military budget.  

 

DAVID SALTMAN explores the dirty realities of cluster munitions, land mines and depleted uranium in Ukraine.

 

MYLA RESON ends our first  hour with the lethal realities of the aerosolization of depleted uranium, leaving a death toll of cancer in its wake.

 

 

IN OUR SECOND HOUR...

 

Abut the failures of Ukraine/Russian diplomacy we hear from TATANKA BRICCA and DOROTHY REIK.

 

Then HOWIE HAWKINS, 2020 Green Party Presidential nominee, and LINDA GUNTER of Beyond Nuclear, alert us to the terrifying nightmare at Zaporizhzhia.

 

The UN General Assembly is now being asked to send peacekeeping forces to protect the six reactors & fuel pools at Zapo as they were used to prevent World War at Suez in 1956.

 

Linda also shows that the International Atomic Energy Agency is promoting atomic power while it allegedly tells the truth about Zapo.

 

Likewise Japan is poised to dump a million tons of irradiated water into the Pacific Ocean with no concept of what it might do to the global ecology.

 

DR. LISA NAGY fills us in on the specter of radioactive phosphorus being melded into the paving of our global highways.

 

RON LEONARD adds in the latest news in the war for renewables, which never ceases to amaze.

Our GREEP Zoom #141 devotes the full first hour to the great DAN ELLSBERG.

 

Dan’s incredible life of brilliance and service has us all in awe.

 

Beautiful tributes come from NORMAN STOCKWELL (publisher of Progressive.org), DOROTHY REIK (Progressive Democrats of the Santa Monica Mountains), DENNIS BERNSTEIN (KPFA’s “Flashpoints”), DR. RUTH STRAUSS, TATANKA BRICCA, WENDI LEDERMAN, ANNA GYORGY and many many more.

THE GREAT & MOVING GOV. DON SIEGELMAN                  

 

We are joined in GREE-GREE session #139 by the great former Gov. of Alabama DON SIEGELMAN.

 

Gov. Siegelman was the very popular Alabama Chief Executive until Nixon/Bush dirty trickster Karl Rove had him thrown in prison.

 

Siegelman’s extreme integrity and reputation for competence made him a threat to Rove’s future manipulations.

 

So Rove had a crooked legal system take Don out.

 

Gov. Siegelman is now an extremely powerful and articulate opponent of the death penalty.  Do not miss his explanation of how and why.

 

In this hour HEDY TRIPP shows us critical voting statistics, and Arizona’s great JOHN BRAKEY updates us on key voting rights fights that he has immensely impacted.

Solartopia Green Power & Wellness Hour - 5.11.23

THE GREAT GREG PALAST TALKS ELECTIONS & NUKES

 

GREEP zoom #135 is devoted to the great investigative journalist GREG PALAST.

 

With his stunning revelations about mass partisan disenfranchisement in the Florida 2000 presidential fiasco, Greg god-fathered the modern election protection movement.

 

He played a key role in the reporting that came out of Ohio 2004, and too many additional “irregularities” that have surfaced since.

 

He has continued this incredibly important work most recently with his documentary film VIGILANTE, about Jim Crow election theft in current-day Georgia.

 

Greg also has a long history in reporting on atomic energy, and gives us a deep, knowledgeable presentation on the latest “Nuke Renaissance.”

 

There is no one on the American media scene with more to say about where we’re at than Greg Palast.  Don’t miss this amazing show.

 

No Nukes!  No More Coup Selections.

HOW TO RETIRE BILLION$$$ IN DEFAULTED MEDICAL DEBT

 

Our premier guest JERRY ASHTON has retired Billions of dollars in medical debt, freeing millions of American citizens from the burden of servitude to global corporate loan sharks.

 

Ashton’s legendary RIP Medical Debt organization uses contributions to pay off overdue bills run up in hospitals and elsewhere, but bought by predatory collection agencies and then turned against ordinary citizens.

 

Begun at the Occupy Wall Street actions many years ago, Ashton has used thousands of private donations to liberate many many families from unsustainable financial burdens.

 

RIP Medical Debt was famously featured by John Oliver on his “Last Week Tonight” Show, in which Oliver donated Big Money to liberate many many families from their overdue payments.

 

Jerry is a captivating, personable presenter who gives us a full hour of breakthrough brilliance that has made a very real difference in many many lives.  Don’t miss his wonderful presentation! 

And much, much more!

THE FIGHTS OVER NUCLEAR POWER & THE GLOBAL PLASTIC TSUNAMI CONTINUE TO ESCALATE

The MOTHERS FOR PEACE are among the nation’s greatest activists, and from them has come the wonderful LINDA SEELEY.

Linda updates us on the desperate struggle to shut the Diablo Canyon nuclear reactors before they blow up and contaminate all of California.

Indeed, because Diablo is upwind of most of North America it threatens the entire United States with deadly fallout.

The infuriating strong-arm tactics of Gavin Newsom have ignited a furious resistance that must prevail if humankind is to survive.

DR. NANCY NIPARKO follows with her powerful explanation of how plastics are utterly destroying our oceans and global eco-systems.

Nancy’s compelling presentation underscores the desperate need to replace plastic with stuff that can, in fact, bio-degrade.

MYLA RESON, JUSTIN LEBLANC, TATANKA BRICCA, RUTH STRAUSS, JEFFREY BARKDULL, DOROTHY REIK, PAUL NEWMAN. JOAN SEEMAN and other great activists hugely contribute to this monumental discuss.

JOIN US to save the Earth…and we’ll see you next week.

NATIONAL GRASSROOTS NETWORKING FROM VIRGINIA TO FLORIDA & NO NUKES IN GERMANY

 

 

Our Green Emergency Election Protection Coalition Zoom #133 begins with ANDY MOORE of the National Association of Non-Partisan Reformers, a nationwide coalition of organizations working for election reform.

 

The great ANDREA MILLER of the Center for Common Ground fills us in on her great grassroots push in Virginia.

 

NORM STOCKWELL of Progressive.org then explains the aftermath of the progressive movement’s huge Supreme Court victory in Wisconsin, which will stretch deep into the 2024 presidential election.

 

We then hear from the great ANNA GYORGY about German's monumental decision to shut down ALL its atomic reactors, which finally closed on April 15.

 

In tandem we hear about the world-changing ENERGIEWENDE, Germany's incredibly rapid and effective shift toward a 100% green-powered energy supply in the world’s 4th-largest economy.  

 

Anna is joined by SCOTT DENMAN and by LINDA PENCE, both legendary long-term safe energy activists with great things to say about this European dawn of Solartopia.   

 

 

PART TWO:  SECOND HOUR…..please also put this on the air where you can…

 

 

STEVE DONZIGER & HIS AMAZING, INCREDIBLY POWERFUL FIGHT FOR PLANETARY SURVIVAL & CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS

 

 

We hear from the astounding STEVE DONZIGER about his now-legendary fight against Chevron’s destruction of the Ecuadorian rain forest.

 

Steve has endured unconscionable assaults from Chevron and a completely corrupted legal system.

 

His persistent resistance has made him a global legend.  Join us to hear why.

 

We are then joined by DEEPA DRIVER with a powerful report from London on the latest developments in the fight for the freedom of JULIAN ASSANGE.

 

And we hear from VINNIE DE STEFANO on American support work for both Donziger and Assange.

 

If you are at all concerned about the future of the global ecology and the American legal system, don’t miss this show.

WISCONSIN BEFORE LIGHTENING STRIKES; ANTI-TRANS WARFARE

Our GREE-GREE #132 foreshadows the major victory in Wisconsin’s critical state Supreme Court race that is being widely ranked as “the most important election of 2023.”

We hear from ANDREA MILLER of the Center for Common Ground, NORM STOCKWELL of Progressive.org, and THOMAS NELSON of grassroots Wisconsin on the coming of what would be a huge victory for the Progressive movement.

We know as you’re listening to this that the left-leaning “Judge Janet” Protasiewicz won this crucial judgeship by a substantial margin.  She beat a MAGA Republican.

So if you want to know how this happened, listen in to the powerful views of a critically important trio of organizer/activists who helped make this progressive victory happened.

We then turn to BRYNN TANNEHILL and her uniquely brilliant systemic presentation on the national assault against the rights and freedoms of trans Americans.

Among much more, Brynn tells us that “gun rights” stalwarts who NEVER want to limit gun ownership now want to make it illegal for trans citizens to own a gun.

[IN OUR SECOND HOUR, FOR NEXT WEEK:

PRESIDENT MICHELLE?  A ROMERO ADMINISTRATION?  LIVING EARTH MOVEMENT; MORE NUKE MADNESS

In our latest GREE-GREE gathering, we’re joined by legendary journalist/producer DAVID SALTMAN, presents the possibility of MICHELLE OBAMA running for President.

Though there are obvious doubts, Saltman reads a long passage from the former First Lady that would seem to indicate she’d be open to the idea should Joe Biden decline to re-run

Along the way we hear from LYNN FEINERMAN, JUSTIN LEBLANC and others.

TATANKA BRICCA lays out the Romero Institute’s on-going campaign to establish a full-blown government leadership apparatus, prepared to take and use power as the corporate Democrats and Trumpite Republicans fade away.  

IGNACIO CASTUERA of the Living Earth Movement explains his organization’s powerful campaign to insure that we get to world peace. 

The movement focuses in particularly on guaranteeing detente with China, thus avoiding a war between the world’s two biggest economies.

Finally the brilliant  LINDA PENCE GUNTER of Beyond Nuclear confirms that Germany will, in fact, shut its last reactors around April 15.

Thus the world’s fourth-largest economy goes post-nuclear, with (hopefully) the fifth-largest (California) soon to follow.

Linda also fills us in on the uselessness of Silly Mythic Reactors, and the on-going dangers at Ukraine’s besieged Zaporigia.

We also hear about the use of Depleted Uranium (DU), armor-penetrating shells that spread lethal atomic radiation throughout the landscape.

Linda is joined by MYLA RESON who further explains the dangers of DU and atomic waste.

This wide-ranging excursion should not be missed.  NO NUKES!!
