Scholars’ Circle – Peaceful uses of Nuclear power and why arms control fails humanity – September 10, 2023
https://scholarscircle.org/scholars-circle-peaceful-uses-of-nuclear-power-and-why-arms-control-fails-humanity-september-10-2023/
We explore a new book on the supposedly peaceful uses of nuclear power: The Wretched Atom by Jacob Hamblin.
Jacob Hamblin is Professor of History at Oregon State University. His books include Poison in the Well: Radioactive Waste in the Oceans at the Dawn of the Nuclear Age, Oceanographers and the Cold War, Arming Mother Nature: The Birth of Catastrophic Environmentalism and his latest The Wretched Atom: America’s Global Gamble with Peaceful Nuclear Technology.
Then, why arms control discourses are centered around western notions of modernity and civilization. What does it mean to decolonize the language around arms control?
Ritu Mathur is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and Geography at the University of Texas at San Antonio. She is the author of Civilizational Discourses in Weapons Control.

The Other 9-11:
Building Bridges, produced by Mimi Rosenberg & Ken Nash program description for 9/11/23:
Chile & 9/11 focuses on the AFL-CIO’s “American Institute for Free Labor Development” (AIFLD), one of four US-government-funded labor institutes created during the Cold War, that channeled millions of dollars to right-wing unions and political parties opposed to Allende’s socialist agenda. Labor historian & Prof. Ruth Needleman was in Chile in the months preceding the military overthrow of the government, where she was able to interview the leaders and organizers of the coup, along with AIFLD officials. Needelman speaks to us about the injustices she witnessed and the lessons of Chile’s coup.
Second segment: Bhairavi Desai (pronounced BY-ra-vee They-SIGH) president of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, a union representing approximately 15,000 primarily immigrant taxi drivers in New York, which she founded as an extension of her work for the rights of Asian workers with the Committee Against Asian American Violence in 1996, talks about going beyond labor liberalism towards building class struggle unionism for empowering workers for social control.

Mike Ruppert, The Lifeboat Hour
http://www.grinningplanet.com/mp3-news/special/michael-ruppert-death-memorial-download-mp3s.htm
Marking the anniversary of the launch of the endless war (on “terror”) that is still continuing in new forms , we present a deeper episode from Michael C. Ruppert, who exposed US government complicity with cocaine and other drug dealing, the likelihood that the US knew about and allowed 9-11-2001 to happen, and the subsequent machinations around peak oil and environmental devastation caused by the profit seeking forces he characterized as TPTB -The Powers That Be. Here he looks at the roots of Warrior Culture and its consequences for the planet.
Ruppert on Warrior Culture, Collapse, and The Garden — Mike Ruppert discusses the need to dismantle the warrior culture. The evidence from pre-historical societies shows that violent domination is not inherent in human behavior—it has been learned, and it can be unlearned. He also talks about Daniel Quinn's Ishmael, which reveals a culture that is killing the world around it. Of note, he relates the parable of an ever-consuming Adam, first outgrowing the garden, then the region, until he finally consumes the entire earth, and then.... Ruppert finishes up with a review of what's GOOD about peak oil and collapse. (1:04)
