The March 2023 Free Press Second Saturday Cyber-Salon happened on Zoom and Facebook Live on March 11, facilitated by Free Press Board member Mark Stansbery.

Watch the salon video here.

International Women’s Day was March 8 and Mark pointed out how women are the backbone of all peace organizing and he talked about women organizing in Sudan.

Cathy Cowan Becker spoke on the timeline and issues surrounding the East Palestine train derailment in Ohio. She mentioned a group operating in East Palestine, River Valley Organizing, a labor and environmental group who wanted the area called a disaster area, but Biden has not done it yet. She showed a detailed Powerpoint presentation on the timeline from the day of the derailment.

She noted that the rail industry blocked safety regulations that may have prevented the derailment for many years. The cover-up after the derailment has been obvious, especially when a reporter at the scene was arrested and charged with trespass, though charges were finally dropped.

I had second thoughts as I braved an atmospheric river of rain, using my periscope to drive on the freeway to Downtown L.A.’s Music Center to hear George Frideric Handel’s Solomon. But the rapturous atmospheric river of sound that awaited me made me glad that I had made the effort to hear the three-and-a-half-hour cascade of baroque instrumental music with choir and soloists regaling this heathen and a near capacity crowd with three vignettes from the Old Testament about Judea’s King Solomon set to Handel’s indelible strains.

As is the case of long wars, the warring parties and their affiliated media in the Russia-Ukraine conflict have painted each other using uncompromising language, making it nearly impossible to offer an unbiased view of the ongoing tragedy that has killed, wounded and expelled millions. 

 While it is understandable that wars of such horror and near complete disregard of the most basic human rights often heighten our sense of what we consider to be moral and just, parties involved and invested in such conflicts often manipulate morality for political and geopolitical reasons. 

 This same logic is underway in Ukraine. Both sides are adamant that nothing less than a complete victory is acceptable. The Ukrainian view is fully supported by western countries in word and deed - as in tens of billions of modern weapons that have done little, aside from worsening an already bloody conflict.

Since our mainstream media and government are all being paid to downplay the severity of this, I would like to start this event to gather anyone who this may impact and people who aren’t even impacted. What is being done to East Palestine people is not right. The government and rail companies think we are stupid. They think that their pennies are enough to just have everyone turn a blind eye. I refuse to turn a blind eye and would love all the support we can get to create actual change. These corporations need to be held accountable. Our congressmen and women need to be held more accountable. They are lying about everything.

Bring your signs and passion for humanity. Violence will not be tolerated.

Hosted by Ryan McClellan and Mike Huffman.

What does our government know about UFOs? What does the evidence say about why they are here? And, ultimately, are we alone in the universe?

Many Ohioans may scoff, but what can’t be denied is the Buckeye State’s intriguing history regarding UFOs. Consider the UFO flap that swept Ohio in 1973 during Halloween, or how UFOs have often been reported near the state’s Native American Earthworks.  

In February 2023 the subject of UFOs was thrust into the headlines with reports regarding strange objects being shot down over the United States and Canada. Equally unsettling is how US Air Force pilots have witnessed UFOs off both coasts on near daily basis.
