We start GREEP Zoom #193 with the great ANDREA MILLER, who lays out her powerful push for getting out the vote in key swing states, including Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.
STEPHEN SPITZ explains his very mixed experience with young election workers at the University of Michigan.
RAY MCCLENDON follows by describing the mixed impacts of manipulated polls and the stripping of voter registration rolls in Georgia and elsewhere.
A major election outcome prediction made by Alan Lichtman, who has been right many times before, is analyzed by TATANKA BRICCA.
We then shift gears to our Nuclear Webinar, starting with Michigan-based reporter ROGER RAPOPORT, who gives us the low-down on the insane attempt to re-fire the Palisades atomic reactor.
World-renowned health researcher JOE MANGANO confirms the death toll from TMI, Fermi, Palisades and other nukes linked to radiation emissions from these “perfectly safe” loser reactors.
KEVIN KAMPS of Beyond Nuclear adds Fermi I and other destroyed or decrepit nukes to the murderous list.
We pay homage to the great Philadelphia Inquirer op ed against TMI from the great Jane Fonda.
The U.S. government often claims to stand for the rule of law, but this past year has made it painfully clear that this doesn’t apply to Palestinians. The moral, financial, and security costs of U.S. support for Israel’s rapidly expanding wars are adding up for Americans, too.
Colonialism is hardly a thing of the past – it’s alive and vibrant as ever . . . from the Middle East to Western Europe to the United States to India and God knows where else. And it can be profitable as hell, at least for the right industries.
Be afraid. Be very afraid!
This is true especially if you belong to a wealthy, heavily armed nation – because your enemies are everywhere, clustering at your borders or, even worse, daring to claim possession of their ancestral land and inconveniencing your possession of it.
No one had expected that one year would be enough to recenter the Palestinian cause as the world’s most pressing issue, and that millions of people across the globe, would, once again rally for Palestinian freedom.
The last year witnessed an Israeli genocide in Gaza, unprecedented violence in the West Bank, but also legendary expressions of Palestinian sumud, or steadfastness.
It is not the enormity of the Israeli war, but the degree of the Palestinian sumud that has challenged what once seemed to be a foregone conclusion to the Palestinian struggle.
Many of us know the pain of paying steep tolls, especially when a turnpike is taken over by a private company.
Now imagine you live in one of our hemisphere’s most impoverished countries. Do that and you’ll get a glimpse into how unfair trade deals help make life unlivable in many countries — and force countless people to seek a living in countries like the United States.
When a private company suddenly put up toll booths in the middle of a taxpayer-funded highway, local residents in El Progreso, Honduras were furious.
They knew the new fees would also hike the price of food, bus fares, and their daily commutes — and that making it in their country, where roughly half of the population lives below the poverty line, was going to become unbearable.
