Project Censored

In the first half of the show, Eleanor sits down with bestselling author and Emmy-nominated filmmaker James Bamford to discuss Israel’s nefarious attacks on our rights to free speech and assembly here in the US. Bamford shares details about the clearly illegal activity of foreign agents working to suppress movements and actions for Palestinian rights, and how our government turns a blind eye to all of this in the name of supporting Israel. Next up, Mickey Huff sits down with seasoned journalist and science writer Peter Byrne to talk about the media censorship of one of his recent articles which covered protests against the genocide in Gaza. Byrne discusses the sad habit that many local media outlets have of caving to pressure on the Israel/Palestine issue, how ad dollars drive news, and more.

The Economics of Greenwashing

Clifford Humphrey started Ecology Action recyclers in Berkeley in 1968. He's one of the true founders of the environmental movement. Here he carries a message from the inspired elders who conceived of a better world in the midst of war and chaos like we have today. We began a general conversation about the economics of “greenwashing”, corporate public relations around phony environmentalism to cover their culpability in environmental damage, which we circled and snuck up on from behind in this, Clifford's gift to us all during the holiday season.
