Creative FRONTLINE
In a new documentary feature film, these clips together form a profound story of the ways we experience the land and the waters, in the nation's most populous state, and ultimately how we see ourselves.
The story begins in remote Beatty, Nevada and continues down the Amargosa, down the Colorado, and beyond to Tucson and San Diego, home to 40 million people.
The script, in development for a high quality documentary film project and educational campaign, resides here.

Then, Wanda Bertram discusses how US incarceration rates stack up against the rest of the world (massively - more than 20% of all incarcerated people in the world are in the US, the highest per capita rate globally), and other news on crime & punishment.

MOATS - Mother of All Talk Shows with George Galloway
We're bringing back MOATS for a one-shot encore because of its on-the-scene coverage of the British and French elections and their surprises. Galloway himself was defeated in a bid for re-election to the British Parliament with the Workers Party that he heads. But the overall analysis underscores the undemocratic nature of even the Parliamentary system, where pluralities can win outright in a single round of voting in single-member districts. The Labour Party got its lowest vote total ever, in an election marked by a record low total turnout, but won 67% of the seats with only 34% of the total vote.
In France, the united left won big as a result of an agreement with the centrists of Macron to jointly field only a single candidate in each district against Le Pen's National Rally (whose antecedents are from the Vichy collaborationist government of France under the Nazi German occupation during World War II and fairly open fascism later).
Galloway, not humbled in the least by his own electoral defeat, discusses both of those from his own perspective, in talks with experts and calls from listeners, and later discusses Biden's (and Trump's) weaknesses and prospects with Bryce Green, a reporter with FAIR, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, a progressive media watchdog group in the US (FAIR is heard on KPFK with Counterspin, Monday mornings at 6:30 AM).
Let us know what you think of MOATS. This is a one-shot at this point, Thom Hartmann will be back early tomorrow morning and the rest of the week.
