FIRST HOUR:
As Trump Attacks Portland We Greet A Maga Refugee
We open GREEP Zoom with our poet Laureate MIMI GERMAN.
Mimi reports on the “invasion of the soul snatchers” from the war zone in Portland, Oregon, whose “Kidnapper Cars” are patrolling the streets with ICE using a city-owned building for their command center..
The “heavy presence” of the US Military & its Black Hawk helicopters has manifested with airborne spotlights tracking activists as they walk home.
In support radio host LYNN FEINERMAN wonders aloud about the National Guard troops pouring into our cities.
Lifelong activist DOROTHY REIK comments on the ability of ICE to pick up anyone off the streets.
Legendary journalist DAVID SALTMAN reminds us of the tank in the streets of Berkeley, California, during the fight for People’s Park fifty years ago.
Co-convenor MYLA RESON warns of the rise of fascism.
We’re then re-joined by Mormon refugee JENNIE GAGE who gives us an inside look at MAGA and how to escape it….along with a warning against retaliatory violence…and a call to “rebuild your tribe.”
From DR. NANCY NIPARKO asks about “Stolen Innocence” and a parallel escape from the Mormon community.
Nuclear Terror In Ukraine, Russia & Worldwide Diverting From Solartopia
Legendary Green Power leader HOWIE HAWKINS reports that the external power at Ukraine’s Zaporizhia atomic reactors has been cut, as part of more than 200 attacks on the reactors’ security.
Howie reports that a drone has struck perilously close to another reactor in South Ukraine. making it clear this is a war of Nuclear reactors versus renewables.
From Beyond Nuclear’s resident expert LINDA PENCE GUNTER assures us that the Zapo reactors are not fissioning, but the fuel rods in the reactors & fuel pools are vulnerable to lost coolant.
While supporting the shutdown of all reactors & their fuel pools, she questions the idea that foreigners would call on Ukraine to give up its nuclear commitments without an internal movement demanding it.
Citing this “confluence of really bad things,” Gunter warns against the “big risk” caused by the Russian troops at Chernobyl, “expendable” humans fatally exposed to radioactive waste.
From TATANKA BRICCA we hear reminders of the smuggled Plutonium against which Karen Silkwood was reporting when she was killed.
Our erstwhile engineer STEVE CARUSO warns that the cooling water for Zaporizhia is also being attack by Putin.
“None of this makes any sense,” adds Linda Gunter, as she emphasizes that renewables newly backed with sodium-ion batteries are ending the fear of blackouts altogether.
Likewise the question of Artificial Intelligence as a “consciousness guzzler” which doesn’t care about anything except electricity.
Howie Hawkins raises the issue of unqualified workers at the reactors.
Co-convenor MIKE HERSH & participants DONALD SMITH & MICKEY LEADER raise issues of how we can fight back, which we’ll deal with next week!!
