We begin GREEP Zoom #280 with JERRY ASHTON celebrating the 15th anniversary of OCCUPY WALLSTREET.

We’re then honored by the great RAY MCCLENDON of Communities United, who leads our deep dive into the realities of a mid-term election into which billionaire oligarchs are pouring hundreds of millions in dirty cash.

From “T” we hear about ASHLEY ST. CLAIR and her million-viewed video on election theft.

Florida-based ALISON GREENE warns that “everything is on the table” and that votes are being added to the final count by fraudulent means.

Cyber expert HENRY WINCHESTER explores the Election Management System that will determine the outcome of the mid-terms.

Our engineer STEVE CARUSO cites the theft of the Venezuelan election a year ago that may be replayed in November, and later with a recording of radiation emissions.

Co-convenor MIKE HERSH warns that the Trump Regime is doing “all of the above” to “cheat” and steal this year’s vote count; while Mike begs us to avoid the “circular firing squad” of the left.

This time, Europe seems serious about holding Israel accountable - or at least that is what 11 European countries, together with Canada, want us to believe.

On September 8, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK announced their intention to introduce national restrictions, support European restrictions, or actively consider measures against trade in goods with illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Undeniably, the announcement represents a significant political and legal precedent. Dismissing it outright would be impulsive, particularly considering the participation of governments such as those of Canada and the UK, which have historically provided Israel with extensive political and diplomatic support.

As state and federal political cycles dominate headlines, national media outlets remain focused on legislative margins and upcoming candidate match-ups. A prominent example is the analysis featured in the CBS News Midterm Elections Overview, which details how competitive House and Senate contests across the country—including high-stakes races right here in Ohio—will shape federal power. ​While following candidate races provides insight into partisan strategy, it also highlights an enduring truth: electing candidates is not enough to secure civil liberties or guarantee government accountability. 

Candidates come and go, majorities shift, and campaign promises fade. To achieve permanent protection for fundamental freedoms, we must look to Ohio's own history and enforce accountability directly through structural constitutional reform. ​

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Authorities exhumed four human corpses Wednesday (September 16) buried in an illegal "Jewish Cemetery" amid escalating investigations into Israelis allegedly breaking the law by deceptive real estate deals and lucrative businesses, sparking tension between Bangkok and Tel Aviv.

The gruesome disinterring occurred while Thai security forces and ministries' officials focused on tourist-packed commercially active areas in Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Pai.

Investigations, arrests, property seizures, deportations and ongoing cases involving foreigners -- especially Israelis -- have hit a sensitive nationalistic nerve here in conservative, Buddhist-majority Thailand. 

Voicing the anti-Israeli sentiment, popular Thai rock star Aed Carabao aka Yuenyong Opakul released his newest song in September titled, "Where Do Jewish People Come From?" 

Its Thai title is "Kon Yiw Ma Jak" -- literally "Person Jew From Where?" 

The lyrics warn: "Zionist, Zionist, Zionist / Israel is not Thai / Thai soil is not Canaan / Thai soil is not Israel."

THE RATS ARE FLEEING PALISADES' SINKING RADIOACTIVE SHIP

Featuring: Michigan based investigative journalist, author, film producer and playwright ROGER RAPOPORT  

Length: 27:58 minutes - Available on the Pacifica Network Audioport

California Solartopia / Solartopia @ Pacifica
Hosted by HARVEY "SUNNY" WASSERMAN

Co-Hosted by KEVIN KAMPS (Director of Don't Waste Michigan)

From legendary investigative reporter ROGER RAPOPORT we get the breaking scoop that top management at the rookie New Jersey firm trying to restart Michigan’s Palisades reactor has fired much of its top staff.

Joining co-host KEVIN KAMPS in western Michigan, Roger reports from Muskegon that Holtec, which owns Palisades, has prompted deep public concern about the safety of the dead “zombie” nuke where it’s now loading fuel.

As American rapper Macklemore becomes a frontline for renewed mainstream discourse about Israeli atrocities in Gaza, Israel apologists have been falling all over themselves to circulate the demonstrably false narrative that the artist has a history of antisemitic behavior.

Zionist billionaire Robert Kraft defended his intervention to remove Macklemore from the Ed Sheeran tour for saying “Free Palestine” onstage, falsely claiming in a statement that the artist has a “history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery that we believe has been deeply offensive and hurtful to the Jewish community.”

The Anti-Defamation League falsely claimed that Macklemore’s onstage pro-Palestine rhetoric is colored by the artist’s “record of demonizing Israel and Israelis, falsely accusing Israel of genocide and engaging in antisemitic rhetoric and behavior.”

Crime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has joined Israeli ministers in attacking the Venice-winning documentary NAZA.

Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor are brave journalists and filmmakers. Yet they are being attacked by people who have not even seen the film—many of the same people who are quick to boast about their commitment to “freedom of speech.”

Hiding or denying the reality of what is happening in Gaza will not make it disappear, nor will it prevent the world from learning about it. Journalists and filmmakers have a right—and, some would argue, a responsibility—to document what they witness, even when their work is deeply uncomfortable for those in power.

You cannot claim to defend free expression while trying to silence filmmakers whose work you have not even watched. If there are factual errors or legitimate objections to the film, address them openly. Challenge the evidence. Debate the filmmakers’ conclusions. But attacking the filmmakers and attempting to suppress their work before people have even seen it is fundamentally at odds with the principle of free expression.
