Rushing waters plunging off the Sierra Nevada from Yosemite form the Walker River, plummeting across state lines into Nevada and Walker lake.
It is a terminus or sink with no outlet. Where do the waters go?

Underground and onward down the Amargosa, under Las Vegas, down the Colorado toward the Gulf of California between Baja California and the rest of Mexico.
This Underground River unites peoples and cultures through historical conflict, destruction of the environment, and escape.
Yet it is Nature's knowledge that gives us hope to realize a new future, through transformation, regeneration and perhaps reconciliation, music to the ears that never stops playing, a heart that never stops beating.

U.S. CORPORATE CRIME KILLS THOUSANDS IN BHOPAL, INDIA;
Queer Indian Scholar Speaks Out Against US Corporate Crime In Bhopal; and Interview with Gay Filipino Priest Working for Social Justice

U.S. Corporate Crime Kills Thousands In Bhopal, India; A Queer Indian Scholar Speaks Out

In the world’s worst industrial disaster, extreme corporate negligence led to a devastating gas explosion in 1984 at a pesticides factory in Bhopal, India then owned by Union Carbide, now Dow Chemical Company. Since the night of that disaster, over 25,000 people have been killed due to chemical exposure and its aftermath, and over 500,000 remain seriously impacted by chronic health conditions, generational birth defects, and ongoing groundwater contamination in Bhopal. No Union Carbide or Dow officials have ever been held criminally responsible, and the company only paid victims and families of those killed trivial amounts of compensation.

Survivors of this corporate crime and organizers of the large-scale India-wide fightback are currently on a 17-stop U.S. tour to raise awareness and reinvigorate solidarity with Bhopal in the U.S., where Dow Chemical is based. During their US visits, they are convening with numerous environmental justice organizations to highlight similarities between the struggles in India and U.S. communities of color. They are also sharing stories on how Bhopalis have taken care of each other and maintained the struggle through 40 years of injustice.

Jiya Pandya, a queer scholar from India

In this segment, we interview Jiya Pandya, a queer scholar from India working on disability studies and South Asian history, completing a PhD in History and Gender & Sexuality Studies at Princeton University. Jiya is currently organizing with the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal and participating in the U.S. national tour with the disaster survivors. Among other topics, we discussed her statement, “The campaign for justice in Bhopal is a queer issue.”

In a classic example of cooptation by neoliberal capitalism, Jim Fetterling, the current CEO of Dow Chemical, is an out gay businessperson who has won numerous awards for diversity and inclusion. During Pride month a few years ago, Fetterling said that "if you want to make a difference in the world, you have to take action." Meanwhile, Sanjana Singh, an LGBT+ survivor of the Bhopal disaster, has said, “Fighting discrimination against LGBT+ people teaches us to fight against all forms of discrimination in society. It is wrong for Fitterling, who came out as gay in 2014, to make claims of inclusivity while heading a company that starkly discriminates against the Bhopal survivors.”

Solidarity, Spirituality and Liberatory Promise on a Turtles Back
Sharing words from anarchist, author, organizer and former participant in the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army, Ashanti Omowali Alston, in the key note address at the 2024 Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair in so-called Asheville. The presentation was entitled Solidarity, Spirituality and Liberatory Promise on a Turtle's Back.
From the ACAB website:
"Trusting in solidarity, the mysterium of spirituality, and a promise from god knows where," a where that at this historical moment, might just be Palestine. What does it mean TO BE in the midst of all this right now? RIGHT NOW!
M. Ashanti Alston is a revolutionary Black nationalist, anarchist, abolitionist, speaker, writer, elder motivator. A long-time member of The Jericho Movement, he is presently an advisory board member of the National Jericho Movement and co-founding board member of the Center for Grassroots Organizing (Vermont land project). He continues giving talks and writing inspirational analyses concerning the dismantling of the myriad oppressive regimes in which we find ourselves enmeshed.
Ashanti is one of the few former members of the Black Panther Party who identifies as an anarchist in the tradition of ancestor Kwesi Balagoon (BPP & BLA). He developed abolitionist politics in the early years of Critical Resistance. He has helped save the life of a baby pig with animal liberationists, learned depth-queer politics from being challenged, and wants to see non-ego eldership partaking through sincerely loving the younger generations who truly want to CARRY IT ON.

Shortwave Report with Dan Roberts
This week's show features stories from NHK Japan, Radio Deutsche-Welle, and Radio Havana Cuba.
From JAPAN- 13 years after the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima power plant, the first attempt to remove 880 tons of highly radioactive fuel debris has been suspended. Foreign and defense ministers of Japan and India met to review their joint declaration on security cooperation. Italy brought its aircraft carrier to Japan, joining many other European warships for joint drills in the south China Sea. The US and South Korea started a joint military exercise to deter and defend against a nuclear attack in the area. Russia says it shot down 11 Ukrainian drones over the outskirts of Moscow, and 34 in other parts of Russia. Iran's parliament has approved all cabinet appointments under the new President Pezeshkian who wants to improve relations with the west. Biden and Harris spoke with Netanyahu this week to motivate signing a ceasefire agreement, while also sending another aircraft carrier to the Middle East.

From GERMANY- As the ceasefire talks continue, so does the daily bombing in Gaza. An interview with an Egyptian journalist, Karim Al-Gawhary, about the talks. He says that the sticking points are Israel insisting on a continued military presence in Gaza, and continuing the war in the future. Palestine is opposed to these demands. Moves to tax the world's extremely wealthy have taken hold in several countries, like Spain, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark- Their ultra-rich have not moved elsewhere, according to the Tax Justice Network.

From CUBA- The government of Nicaragua has condemned the interventionist actions of the US program NED, that is the National Endowment for Democracy. The President Petro of Colombia has banned the export of coal to Israel as punishment for its war on Palestine. The EU warned of the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, where individuals and groups attempting to aid the civilians are under attack. The government of Scotland has suspended all meetings with the Israeli regime ambassadors, demanding an immediate ceasefire in Palestine. http://www.outfarpress.com/shortwave.shtml
