Is the rough beast slouching toward Bethlehem?

“. . . I came to understand the role some in the U.S. government have played to intentionally catalyze war, fueling arms sales globally, without regard for the consequences. The consequences are here!

“We are cartwheeling towards a massive East v. West war with religious and ethnic overtones. This seemingly inexorable March of (nuclear) Folly, will ultimately pit the United States militarily against China, Russia and their allies.”

The following statements can be attributed all or in part to the Save Ohio Parks Steering Committee:

Save Ohio Parks is deeply saddened, but not surprised that the Oil and Gas Land Management Commission decided to allow fracking under our pristine and beloved state parks, wildlife areas, and public lands when four other states have already banned fracking and we are all living in the midst of an unprecedented climate catastrophe just beginning to unfold.

That this law could even be passed in Ohio speaks to the corruption in the Ohio Statehouse today and our federal government’s failing policies and laws that continue to enable an energy policy centered on corporate greed, not the needs of the people and the planet.

The reason these five individuals were appointed to this commission by Gov. Mike DeWine was for their support of the fossil fuel industry donations and dark money, despite extensive scientific evidence for the dangers of fracking to our environment and health.

Part 1 Post November 7 Election Coverage:
OHIO GOP ATTACKS CHOICE/POT REFERENDA; CENSORSHIP ON THE MIDDLE EAST; GRASSROOTS WIN IN VA

We open our greep zoom #157 with TATANKA BRICCA’s brief journey into the world of Unidentified Flying Objects (now become Unidentified Airborne Phenomena) and a new federal agency confirming what officials have denied for decades.

STEVE CARUSO then updates us on the monumental popular victories in Ohio approving referenda on a woman’s right to choose and legalizing pot.But as Steve tells us, the gerrymandered right-wing Ohio legislature wants to overturn both popular votes. 

This truly astounding attack on democracy itself comes prior to a widely expected new assault on fair redistricting, which the public has repeatedly endorsed, but which the state’s GOP simply does not want to accept.

DENNIS BERNSTEIN then joins LYNNE FEINERMAN, MYLA RESON and others to take us through the horrifying deathscape of the Middle East war and the press censorship surrounding it.

Fracking operations drain tens of millions of gallons of water from lakes, rivers and streams, mixing it with unregulated toxic chemicals and sand to free methane gas trapped deep below the ground. Fracking also entails clearcutting forests, destroying plant, animal and insect habitats, and requires thousands of truck trips to bring in chemicals and transport wastewater from well pads.
