Compassion & Empathy versus Heartless Fascism; Our Resident Doctors Weigh in on Trump’s Health…& the Public's

We begin GREEP Zoom #237 with the latest heart-felt poem from our Laureate, MIMI GERMAN.

With a clarion call for action activist/professor CHUCK PENACCIO warns us that “fascism is here” & demands our mass movement for democracy & peace.

Radio broadcaster LYNNE FEINERMAN mourns the murder of Yitzhak Rabin & the rise of fascism in Israel.

Co-Convenor MIKE HERSH updates us on the history of the West’s mixed relationship with fascism, including the rise of Spain’s dictator Franco.

Diving deep into the horrors of “Christian Fascism” is ANDRA WATKINS, who grew up in an extreme right-wing anti-empathy home.

From ALEX WILLIAMS we get a warning that the concept of “God” continues to be used to unite angry people around very “UnChristian” fascism.

The State unifying with Religion is illustrated by DONALD SMITH is portrayed through the grim visage of Stephen Miller, a “fascist Jew.”

Jesus was a man of empathy, says CARRIE LARSON, meaning the “Christian Nationalist” movement has little to do with Christ.

Bobby, why are you threatening my life?

Bobby Bobby, Bobby Kennedy, my dear dear friend of so many years, my co-author at Rolling Stone, Bobby, why are you threatening my life? Why are you threatening lives across America and even our not-yet-born great-grandchildren? You’ve blocked mRNA vaccine research.  

Research!

Bobby, you know damn well that mRNA is our best hope for an anti-cancer vaccine. What are you doing to us, Bobby?

You’ve kicked out over 3,000 scientists at the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control. Who do you have left, Bobby, to control diseases? So, when the next pandemic hits, we won’t have mRNA, we’ll have beef tallow and bleach.

You’ve terminated over 800 medical research grants. Let’s take one: Why in the world did you terminate the brain injury outpatient education program at Seattle Children’s Hospital? Did Dr. Joe Rogan suggest that?

How did Hamas leaders escape the US/Israel assassination attempt?

Israel struck Qatar’s capital Doha in missile attacks on Tuesday Sep. 9, that said were targeted at senior leaders of Hamas, including negotiators from the Palestinian group who have been engaged in talks aimed at securing a ceasefire in Gaza. Fortunately, Hamas succeeded in exposing the American ambush trap and Hamas was able to deceive America and Israel.
 
Israel’s military confirmed that it had fired missiles into Doha, targeting a compound believed to be hosting Hamas political leaders. Shortly after, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning the attack according to Al Jazeera.
 
The assassination attempt on the negotiating delegation failed after the Hamas delegation leadership became suspicious of the US' insistence that Khaled Meshaal and Khalil al-Hayya attend the meeting inside a private villa rather than in a hotel tower as was customary.
 
Therefore, security personnel and a bodyguard were sent with the leadership's cell phones to the designated private villa.

Israel has bombed six Arab countries within a week

BREAKING: Israel is bombing Doha right now.

Autumn bounty—now at local farmers’ markets!

Volunteers posing

Central Ohio hosts a number of outdoor farmers’ markets providing freshly-harvested produce. Leading a group of these markets is Abbe Turner, a farmer herself. Abbe is the new Executive Director of Common Greens which runs five local farmers’ markets every week. Be it a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday, Common Greens has one or more markets in action that day. Operating times for downtown’s Pearl Alley, Clintonville, Bexley, Upper Arlington and the innovative OhioHealth’s Riverside farmers’ markets can be found at the Common Greens website. You have until the end of October to catch the action, except for Clintonville’s market where they will tough-it-out through November.

For the 2025 season, Abbe was excited to recruit 30 new vendors. Common Greens now hosts 170 unique vendors including both home- and farm-based specialty food producers. Market volunteers help to count attendance. “This season we are on track to record 140,000 shoppers,” Abbe said in excitement.

UFCW 1059 lets down local Kroger members (again!)

Kroger sign and union sign

Progressives and lefties fully embrace joining and supporting unions, but how do we deal with a union that continuously encourages members to approve contracts they don’t want?

There are roughly 12,500 Kroger United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) 1059 members. Most are in Central Ohio, and during the pandemic they risked their lives to meet the community’s needs. They were never furloughed, didn’t receive a dime of unemployment, and were paid an insulting extra $2-an-hour or given a one-time modest bonus.  

Keep in mind Kroger UFCW 1059 members are the adults who work fulltime. They toil day-in-day out stocking fridges and shelves, working the cash register, or unloading trucks in the backend. And every three or four years their contract with Kroger comes up for a vote.
