Colonialism Today: From The Crisis in Congo to Capsizing Boats in the Mediterranean
Be it in the Mediterranean or the heart of Africa in Congo, colonialism isn’t past, it’s a modern-day disaster. In the first half of the show, journalist and activist Eugene Puryear joins us with information on the so-called “silent holocaust” taking place in the Congo where some 6 million people have died as nations across the region and the world vie for the more than $24 trillion worth of natural resources within Congo’s borders. Then, Giulia Messmer from Sea Watch explains her organization’s rescue work in the Mediterranean, how European nations are moving to criminalize migration, cross-border solidarity, and more.

Law and Disorder
US Obligation to The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
A United Nations body has issued a damning report blasting the United States for its rampant violations of a major human rights treaty that it ratified in 1992. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, or ICCPR, enshrines fair trial rights, the right to life, to vote, and to freedom of expression and assembly. It prohibits torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. It also forbids discrimination in the enjoyment of civil and political rights based on race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status (which includes sexual orientation).
The Human Rights Committee is a group of 18 independent experts that monitor the implementation of the ICCPR by its States Parties, each of whom files periodic reports on their progress in implementing the obligations in the treaty.
In its November 3, 2023 report on U.S compliance with the ICCPR, the Human Rights Committee found 30 some violations of the treaty by the United States. Racial discrimination permeated two-thirds of the documented U.S. violations.
In addition to discrimination based on race, the Committee found several instances of discrimination against women, particularly in the area of reproductive rights. The Committee also found discrimination on the basis of real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.
Guest - Marjorie Cohn is professor emerita at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, former president of the National Lawyers Guild, and a member of the national advisory boards of Assange Defense and Veterans for Peace, and the bureau of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers. Her books include The United States and Torture: Interrogation, Incarceration, and Abuse and Drones and Targeted Killing: Legal, Moral and Geopolitical Issues. Marjorie is founding dean of the Peoples Academy of International Law. Her article about the report of the Human Rights Committee was published last week by Truthout.
Voices of Mass Incarceration: A Symposium
Opening with a keynote discussion featuring Angela Davis, Pam Africa, Julia Wright, and Johanna Fernndez, the event featured two dozen experts and artists working and studying incarceration and its wide-ranging effects on society. The second day of the symposium also marked the opening of the Mumia Abu-Jamal papers for research at the John Hay Library with the launch of the exhibit, Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Portrait of Mass Incarceration. This exhibition centers on the writing, music and art of Mumia Abu-Jamal, whose papers anchor the John Hay Library’s Voices of Mass Incarceration in the United States collection. Mumia has been imprisoned for 43 years for allegedly killing Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.
One of the panels focused on how systemic changes have strained the existing healthcare system. With 44% of prison detainees receiving a psychiatric diagnosis, prisons are now among the largest providers of healthcare, more so than major hospitals and other care facilities.
We are pleased to bring you the remarks of Hope Metcalf, Lecturer at Yale Law School, on medical care for incarcerated individuals including mental health and hepatitis C. Well also hear from Lauren Weinstock, Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University.
Hosted by attorneys Heidi Boghosian and Marjorie Cohn

Mothering Earth
When you think of perennial crops, you may think of fruit or nut trees, not plants like wheat or rice, which are traditionally planted every year. An organization called The Land Institute, based in Salina, Kansas is hoping to change that. They have been at work developing perennial grain and legume crops.
You may wonder why? Perennial crops have many advantages. They have economic and environmental benefits by requiring less, or no, pesticides and fertilizers, and they can reduce carbon pollution, prevent erosion of the soil and, like trees, hold carbon in the soil. Salwa Khan, Ph. D. inerviews Tammy Kimbler, Chief Communications Officer, The Land Institute
The mission of Mothering Earth is to bring you stories of people taking action for a sustainable world.
Mothering Earth is built on the belief that one person can have a powerful impact in confronting important issues that affect the environment.
To that end, we find interesting people who have expertise in a field related to living gently and sustainably on our sweet Earth, and have them share their stories and knowledge with me and you.

Our understanding of every issue suffers without context, and perhaps most glaringly today – the issue of what’s happening in Israel/Palestine. In the first half of the show, Jacquie Luqman joins the show again to contextualize Israel as a settler colonialist project, how that links to the pan-African internationalist struggle and why, once again for the folks in the back: antizionism is not antisemitism.

Pauline Park speaks with Naomi Brussel about the serious situation regarding Facebook censorship and even de-platforming of Palestinians and Palestine solidarity activists on the world's largest social media platform and the consequences for on-line resistance to Israeli occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.

Amjad Iraqi on what it’s like to be a Palestinian citizen of Israel, and what the
Israeli state has in mind for Gaza • Georgi Derluguian (author of this article
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/09/opinion/nagorno-karabakh-russia-turkey.html) on how the
expulsion of Armenians from Artsakh, also known as Nagorno-Karabakh, is an

Project Censored
This week Mickey examines media coverage of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel and the ensuing
Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip, particularly the one-sided reporting of the Israel-Palestine conflict by
corporate media, and Big Tech actions to suppress Palestinian perspectives. Today’s guests discuss how
media bias and lack of historical context work to sway US public opinion, bolstering double standards on
human rights (“worthy vs. unworthy” victims in media standing) that actually help facilitate and excuse
ongoing Israeli war crimes.
Notes:
Andy Lee Roth is Associate Director of Project Censored, coordinator of its Campus Affiliates Program,
and a widely-published media analyst. He recently wrote, “Making Sense of the Establishment News
Media’s Distorted Coverage of Gaza.” Mnar Adley is founder and Editor-in-Chief of MintPress News,

Bold Venture was a syndicated radio series starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Morton Fine
and David Friedkin scripted the taped series for Bogart's Santana Productions.
https://www.oldradioworld.com/shows/Bold_Venture.php
Salty seadog Slate Shannon (Bogart) owns a Cuban hotel sheltering an assortment of treasure
hunters, revolutionaries and other shady characters. With his sidekick and ward, the sultry Sailor Duval
(Bacall), tagging along, he encounters modern-day pirates and other tough situations while navigating
the waters around Havana. Aboard his boat, the Bold Venture, Slate and Sailor experience "adventure,
intrigue, mystery and romance in the sultry settings of tropical Havana and the mysterious islands of the
Caribbean."
Calypso singer King Moses (Jester Hairston) provided musical bridges by threading plot situations into
the lyrics of his songs. Music by David Rose. Beginning March 26, 1951, the Frederic W. Ziv Company
syndicated 78 episodes. Other sources claim that the 78 episodes include reruns, and that there were
only around 30 episodes. Heard on 423 stations, the 30-minute series earned $4000 weekly for Bogart
and Bacall. This episode: “Welcome Back to Civilization, Dead Man.”
The Blue Beetle had a relatively short career on the radio, between May and September of 1940.
Motion picture and radio actor Frank Lovejoy was the Blue Beetle for the first 13 episodes, while for the
rest of the shows, the voice was provided by a different, uncredited actor. The Blue Beetle was a young
police officer who saw the need for extra-ordinary crime fighting. He took the task on himself by secretly
donning a superhero costume to create fear in the criminals who were to learn to fear the Blue Beetle's
wrath. The 13-minute segments were usually only two-parters, so the stories were often more simple
than other popular programs, such as the Superman radio serial. This episode Whale of Pirates Folly.
The Blue Beetle was a Charlton Comics superhero, later bought up by DC Comics who revived various
of the characters. The Blue Beetle is being released as a feature film, part of the DC Expanded Universe,
with the Blue Beetle now being a Chicano superhero.
The Black Museum was a 1951 radio crime drama program produced by Harry Alan Towers for the
BBC and based on real-life cases from the files of Scotland Yard's Black Museum. Ira Marion was the
scriptwriter, and music for the series was composed and conducted by Sidney Torch.
Orson Welles was both host and narrator for stories of horror and mystery based on Scotland Yard's
collection of murder weapons and various ordinary objects once associated with historical true crime
cases. The show's opening began: This is Orson Welles, speaking from London. Sound of Big Ben chimes
The Black Museum... a repository of death. Here in the grim stone structure on the Thames which
houses Scotland Yard is a warehouse of homicide, where everyday objects... a woman's shoe, a tiny
white box, a quilted robe... all are touched by murder. This episode “The Center Fire Bullet”.

The Magical Mystery Tour with Tonio Epstein
The Path to Being Nature and What we can Re-Learn from Our Animal Kin w/ Gay Bradshaw
Gay Bradshaw is the founder and director of The Kerulos Center for Nonviolence. She holds doctoral degrees in ecology and psychology and was the first scientist to recognize and diagnose PTSD in Elephants, Chimpanzees, Orcas, and other Animals. She is the director and primary caregiver for rescued domesticated Animals and Indigenous Wildlife at Grace Village, formerly The Tortoise and the Hare Sanctuary. Her books include the Pulitzer-nominated Elephants on the Edge: What Animals Teach Us about Humanity; Carnivore Minds: Who These Fearsome Animals Really Are; Talking with Bears: Conversations with Charlie Russell; and The Elephant Letters: The Story of Billy & Kani. She is the co-author of The Evolved Nest: Nature’s Way of Raising Children & Creating Connected Communities with Darcia Narvaez.
In this interview / conversation we talk about the beautiful social and emotional intelligence of animal communities in the wild that we have lost during our last 10,00+ years of agricultural, colonial and industrial modernity. And what it would take to regain that which came naturally to humans before that.
In the dazzle of Nature’s extraordinary diversity, it’s easy to overlook how similar we are. Even though humans & other Animals look different on the outside, inside, beneath the fur, fins, feathers, scales & skin we are very much alike, including our brains. Animals ranging from the giant Sperm Whale & the tuxedoed Penguins to the ancient African Elephant & the astonishing Octopus share with humans, brain structures and processes that give us capacities for consciousness, thinking, feeling, loving & dreaming. We also share a common system for raising our young: the evolved nest.
The Magical Mystery Tour is a show that dives into the heart of things exploring new ideas and new ways of seeing and being in this wondrous crazy world we share together. New shows are available weekly by Monday. Feel free to contact Tonio at 802-229-5123 or tonio@together.net

Palestinian Resistance and (media) Censorship
https://covertactionmagazine.com/2023/10/25/covertaction-bulletin-palestinian-resistance-and-censorship/
Protests across the world in solidarity with Palestine are building a support movement for the Palestinian resistance and cause, showing leaders that people from the U.S. to the UK to Yemen and Jordan and beyond stand with the Palestinian people in their fight against the U.S.-backed Israeli occupation. These protests are changing the shape of media coverage and influencing popular opinion and the debate over the issue.
At the same time, social media companies like Twitter and Meta have been attempting to censor pro-Palestinian content. One video listing the hospitals that Israel has bombed was taken off Instagram after gaining 12 million views. The Twitter account for Palestine Action U.S. was not followable for many days. But information continues to spread quickly, keeping the solidarity movement going.
We’re joined by Janine Hourani of the Palestinian Youth Movement in the UK to talk about these movements and developments. https://linktr.ee/CovertActionBulletin

They will also report on the recent two-day conference of the new Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism, held in New York City and Santa Cruz, CA.
Emmaia Gelman is guest faculty in Social Sciences at Sarah Lawrence College and the founding Director of the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism, which examines the transnational work of Zionist political and ideological institutions. She researches the history of ideas about race, queerness, safety, and rights as levers in political culture, and is co-chair of the American Studies Association Caucus on Academic and Community Activism. She is writing a critical history of the Anti-Defamation League (1913-1990) as a Cold War neoconservative institution. Emmaia is a longtime activist on queer and antiracist issues, primarily in New York City, and the parent of three brilliant and compassionate kids.
Kaleem Hawa is a Palestinian writer and organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement, a transnational movement of Arab and Palestinian youth struggling for the liberation of their homeland.

Which mistakes Israel is likely to make in Gaza; and Book Author interview – A Fear of Too Much Justice: Race, Poverty, and the Persistence of Inequality in the Criminal Courts https://scholarscircle.org/
Rage and a desire for vengeance after 9/11 drove the US to violate human rights on a mass scale. What were those mistakes and what lessons do they offer to others dealing with political violence? How much does rage and demands for vengeance undermine peace? [dur:28mins.]
Steve Swerdlow, esq. is Associate Professor of the Practice of Human Rights in the Department of Political and International Relations at the University of Southern California. A human rights lawyer and expert on the former Soviet region, Swerdlow was Senior Central Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch, heading the organization’s work on Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, and founding its Kyrgyzstan field office. He worked as a human rights monitor for the Union of Council for Soviet Jews (UCSJ) as their Caucasus monitor in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia as well as with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Russia.
Brent Sasley is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas, Arlington. He is the author of the book Politics in Israel: Governing a Complex Society and the book chapter “The End of Oslo and The Second Intifada, 2000-2005.”
Then, How much does race and class determine legal outcomes in the United States? What role does the prosecutor play in the justice system?
We speak with the co-author of a new book A Fear of Too Much Justice: Race, Poverty, and the Persistence of Inequality in the Criminal Courts. Co-authors are legendary death penalty opponent Stephen Bright and legal scholar James Kwak. [dur: 28mins.]
Our guest James Kwak is a former professor of law at the University of Connecticut and chairperson of the board of the Southern Center for Human Rights. His co-author is Stephen Bright. He teaches law at Yale and Georgetown Universities. He was director of the Southern Center for Human Rights and won multiple capital cases in the Supreme Court.
From the publisher:
Almost 70 years ago Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black wrote there “can be no equal justice where the kind of trial a man gets depends on the amount of money he has.” In THE FEAR OF TOO MUCH JUSTICE: Race, Poverty, and the Persistence of Inequality in the Criminal Courts (The New Press; June 20; 2023), legendary death penalty opponent Stephen Bright and legal scholar James Kwak show the myriad ways the US criminal legal system fails to live up to this ideal of fairness: Innocent people are condemned to death and convicted of crimes because they cannot afford lawyers and because of the color of their skin. Racial discrimination in jury selection still lives in communities that have substantial Black and Latino populations. The mentally disabled are incarcerated instead of given the treatment they need, while the poor are processed through many courts with little or no legal representation in an assembly-line fashion. And many courts act as centers of profit whose main purpose is to raise money by imposing fines on the most vulnerable in their community and jailing them when they cannot pay.
But Bright and Kwak also see the promise of meaningful change on the horizon. They point to jurisdictions across the political spectrum that have made significant progress. The use of the death penalty has plummeted, and the authors see a future where it will remain in only the most ardent holdouts. Public defender offices that protect clients from wrongful convictions have been established across the country, and many places have reduced the use of cash bail and stopped imposing fines and fees on people who cannot afford them.
The book makes the case that prosecutors have too much power and defense lawyers are often out-gunned and incentivized to encourage plea bargains. How should the system rectify this? What is the first step in fixing this imbalance?
This program is produced by Ankine Aghassian, Doug Becker, Mihika Chechi, Melissa Chiprin, and Sudd Dongre.

Sounds True – Insights at the Edge with Tami Simon
Mpho Andrea Tutu van Furth: I’m Here for Love
“If we as a world ever got even a hint of the incredible love with which God loves us, we would be living in such a different world than we do now.” These are the wise words of Mpho Andrea Tutu van Furth, Tami Simon’s guest in this deeply moving podcast, an inspiring conversation with the daughter of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and coauthor of the online course Unstoppable Joy.
Tami and Mpho explore deep faith and finding one’s path to God; the human tendency to act in ways that are counter to love; shifting from unworthiness to unconditional love; having a faith journey and “forging your own way up the mountain”; carrying forth the legacy of Desmond Tutu for a more just and inclusive world; the transformative teaching, “When in doubt, choose love”; real courage; accessing the source of unstoppable joy; disagreeing without being disagreeable; the practice of “disappearing into prayer”; and more.
Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests. Learn more at join.soundstrue.com.

Crisis in choosing Speaker of the House; Power of Cities and its future in 21st century
The US House of Representatives is in a crisis with no Speaker of the House (3rd in line of succession to the Presidency), which means they cannot do business. What led to this crisis? Is there anything in history that can guide the US though this chaos?
Jeremi Suri is Professor in the Department of History at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and the Mack Brown Distinguished Chair for Leadership in Global Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of The Impossible Presidency: The Rise and Fall of America’s Highest Office and his latest book Civil War by Other Means: America’s Long and Unfinished Fight for Democracy. He hosts the podcast This is Democracy.
Then, how were cities born? And how have they affected culture, economies, politics, and societies? What changed in the 21st century, especially after the pandemic? Which cities are best for quality of life? and how can cities offer a sustainable and fulfilling future? We interview Ian Goldin, author of Age of the City.
Ian Goldin is Professor of globalization and development at the University of Oxford. He is the author of Age of the City, Rescue from Global Crisis to a Better World and Terra Incognota 100 maps to survive the next 100 years.

Sean Milanovich (Cahuilla), Gathering Fire, Sacred Sites and Lithium Extraction (parts 2 and 3 of an interview with Robert Lundahl)
Sean Milanovich is a former Chairman of the Agua Caliente Tribe of Cahuilla Indians, and current Vice President of the Native American Land Conservancy. He recently participated in the Indigenous led Bioneers convention in Rancho Mirage/Palm Springs on the Rights of Nature.
What Are the Rights of Nature in Indian Country?
Rights of Nature is a global movement spreading across Indian Country to protect our lands and natural resources for generations to come by recognizing nature’s legal rights. At its core, Rights of Nature law codifies Indigenous values for caring for Mother Earth. For the last 4 years, the Bioneers Indigeneity team has been exploring how Rights of Nature can be implemented by Tribes in the United States.
We ran our strategy across a working group of Tribal leaders, attorneys, and organizers. We meticulously researched intersections of the law to anticipate ways to bring about Rights of Nature in Indian Country.
We developed a guide for Tribal organizers to build capacity to present and pass a Rights of Nature law to protect lands, waters, and key species. And, we have begun to share information with Tribes interested in exploring Rights of Nature through regional workshops in the Southwest and Northeast. #Bioneers #Cahuilla #Chemehuevi

Andrea Gibson: Facing Mortality and Being Adored and Cherished by the Universe
Great poets expand our view—of ourselves, of each other, and of the entire universe. Andrea Gibson was named Colorado’s 2023–25 Poet Laureate for their celebrated verses on love, LGBTQ issues, spirituality, mental health, social justice, and more. In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Andrea about their approach to work and how their journey through cancer radically changed that approach.
Listen now to this poignant conversation featuring Andrea’s reading of their poem, “Acceptance Speech After Setting the World Record in Goosebumps” and exploring spiritual surrender, finding joy in every instant, facing challenges, moving through grief, the life force of the universe within us, self-love and loving the whole world, trying softer (not harder), the power of relaxation, identifying the keys that open your heart, staying with our fear, activism and loosening our attachment to desired outcomes, being yourself fully, the gift of mortality, giving the present moment the cold shoulder, why authenticity is the most important thing when it comes to writing, the pull of creativity, and more.
Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests. Learn more at join.soundstrue.com.
Andrea Gibson is one of the most celebrated and influential spoken word poets of our time. Best known for their live performances, Gibson has changed the landscape of what it means to attend a “poetry show.” Gibson’s poems center around LGBTQ issues, gender, feminism, mental health and social justice. The winner of the first Women’s World Poetry Slam, Gibson is the author of seven award winning books and seven full length albums. Their live shows have become loving and supportive ecosystems for audiences to feel seen, heard, and held through Gibson’s art.

The dedication is more impossible and more necessary…So we convene back-stage in the participatory imaginal realms to conjure the impossible necessary miracle vision…that we then (a la Haruki Murakami) open the sluice gates, and let the desirable pour into incarnational actuality ….
Composting the addiction to having an enemy, on which tyranny feeds….Animating the vision of actual community (that tyranny has always attacked, replacing with the toxic mimic of cults…)
Caroline re-plays segments of July 17, 2008 show… Yehuda Atai, Israeli Peace Activist, Biblical scholar, alchemist, modern computer start-up wizard presenting the One State Solution – the Israeli-Palestinian Democracy!
Because this bold imaginative ingenious experiment will require metabolizing justified bitterness into forgiveness, Caroline welcomes Rod Suskin, traditional Sangoma to offer the medicine of South Africa into our collective brew that we may animate this desirable, and once we hear it, irresistible story.
