Posts that I especially recommend today: Wednesday, March 11, 2020

• We Did Start the Fire: Climate Change & the Curse of Hope by John Halstead from Gods & Radicals Press. 

• Extinction Dialogues: Am I a Typical Academic? featuring Guy McPherson, this time from his website Nature Bats Last instead of via YouTube.

• Jacobin: From the “Dirty Break” to the Democratic Party by Nathaniel Flakin from Left Voice.

• News for March 10 with Rick Sanchez from RTAmerica. Note: Sanchez focuses on a range of very important topics that takes the full program (27:37). I highly recommend this news program to watch daily.

High levels of radiation in the area around Fukushima, Japan have been discovered at locations intended for the 2020 Summer Olympics. Is the international sporting event in danger? RT America’s Michele Greenstein explains the lasting impact of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Then Kevin Kamps, radioactive waste specialist at Beyond Nuclear, joins Rick Sanchez to share his expertise. RT America’s Alex Mihailovich reports on the economic downturn in the airline industry before former director of Government, Public and Family Affairs for the National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) Jamie Finch shares his insights. Pulitzer-winning author and host of “On Contact” Chris Hedges joins Rick Sanchez to discuss the influence of lobbyists on establishment media in their coverage of politics and that donors, bankers and billionaires have on the US political process. Plus, RT America's Sayeh Tavangar reports on the role that fracking in the US played in fomenting the oil price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia.

• An Estimated 85,000 Turkish-Backed Terrorists are Fighting in Syria and Libya, While Thousands are in Terrorist Training Camps in Turkey by Drago Bosnic from FRN (Fort Russ News). (Note: Non-Empire journalists have reported that Turkey has been on the team (along with Saudi Arabia, Britain, and Israel) which was coordinated by the USA in order destroy the Syrian government beginning in 2011, and I have re-posted many of these reports. For example, read Washington’s Secret War on Syria. Also, see this from 1983!)
