Resume Atmospheric Bomb Tests? Are You Nuts? and Organizing The Masses For Empathy & Compassion

Hour 1

We open with a beautiful poem from our Laureate MIMI GERMAN.

We then explore the origins of the 1963 Atomic Test Ban with the tragic tale of the premature death of Patrick Kennedy, the son of President John Kennedy and First Lady Jackie.

This terrible loss led directly to JFK agreeing with Nikita Khrushchev to ban nuclear explosions in the atmosphere.

We are then honored by the genius of ROBERT ALVAREZ, JOE MANGANO and KARL GROSSMAN on critical issues of radiation and health.

We celebrate a vital op ed on this by CHRISTIE BRINKLEY in the Kansas City Star, with McClatchy syndication.

We take a deep dive into the legendary “Baby Teeth” study, and Project 2025’s insane push for more nuke testing.

We hear from PAUL NEWMAN warning about Christian Nationalists who want an Armageddon to fulfill Biblical prophecy.

A spiritual contribution comes from LYNN MYSTIC-HEALER, and from MELISSA, who asks “Is this even legal?”

From LISA WHITE we hear about the movement in Fresno for post-nuclear sanity.

Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil abducted by ICE over Columbia University protests

Welcome to AmeriKKKa, the home of White mass shooters and land of “No black lives matter.” We have been taught that America is the land of the free and the home of the brave, but I’m having a hard time believing that statement in light of what happened to pro-Palestinian student activists Mahmoud Khalil of Columbia University and Liu Lijun, a grad student at University of California, Los Angeles, CLA- Mahmoud is a green cardholder and Miss Lijun is on a student visa. These are dark days in America.
 
Two days ago, petition demanding the immediate release of Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil has garnered nearly 900,000 signatures after his detention by U.S.

The Journey Beyond Nukes Begins With an Apology

When the powerful speak, mushroom clouds emerge – oh so easily. Power is about conquest; winning the war, getting what you want no matter the cost.

For instance, Israel should nuke Gaza. “Do whatever you have to do.” Thus declared Sen. Lindsey Graham last year in a Meet the Press interview, comparing the current genocide in Palestine to the U.S. decision to end World War II by A-bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki. “That was the right decision,” he said, spewing out the historical abstraction that still rules the world.

The Genesis of Sectarian Violence in Syria: The Fall of Assad to US Supported Extremists and the Massacre of Christians and Alawites

While many in Washington claim to defend Christianity and Western values, their policies have led to the systematic annihilation of some of the world's oldest Christian communities. The same politicians who posture as defenders of faith have not just turned a blind eye to the suffering of Christians in the Middle East, from Palestine’s West Bank and Gaza to Lebanon and Syria, they have chosen instead to fund their murderers.

U.S. tax dollars funneled through the CIA and USAID, have played a pivotal role in arming and enabling extremist factions whose ascendance has resulted in atrocities.

The forces of Syria's new self-proclaimed "interim president" a Salafist, Sunni Muslim who currently goes by the name Ahmed al-Shara, over this past weekend lined up civilians, both Alawites and Christians, against the wall and executed them. Their crime: Infidelity to Salafism, a strict interpretation of Islamic law.

Starman Boycott

2,500 Ohioans and 80 organizations: Ohio stands with Immigrants

People protesting

“We affirm that migration is a basic act of being human.” So begins a letter to state and local officials, signed by 80 institutions and 2,500 Ohioans from 69 counties. “Our state is made better, stronger and more vibrant by the countless contributions of immigrants and refugees.” List of counties is at the end of this press release.

The federal government has unleashed an assault on people who came to Ohio to contribute and take care of their families. Ohioans expect elected officials to lead from a place of compassion and common sense, instead. The petition lays out the actions they want Ohio city and county officials to take:

Ohio students keep the pressure on extremist politicians–make Ohio Statehouse the #1 spring break destination

Student protesting

Despite spring break in full swing at campuses across Ohio, including the Ohio State University, Ohio University, Cleveland State University, and Kent State University,  dozens of students gathered at the Ohio Statehouse to testify against Senate Bill 1, a controversial higher education bill currently under consideration in the Ohio House. The bill would consolidate university governance in the hands of the government, censor what students can and can’t learn, gut our professors’ labor rights, and ban any program, office, or scholarship deemed to be “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” 

Town Hall Invitation Delivery & Wednesdays at Bernie's Protest Rally - Senator Moreno's Columbus Office - Wednesday March 12 starting at Noon

At noon Wednesday, March 12, a volunteer with Indivisible Central Ohio will present a staffer in Senator Moreno’s Columbus office with the below attached invitation requesting the Senator's attendance and participation at their town hall on March 22nd at 2PM.

At 12:30 PM, Ohio Progressive Action Leaders (OPAL) and Indivisible Central Ohio will host their weekly Wednesdays at Bernie's protest rally outside of Senator Moreno’s Columbus office to demand the Senator attend (or hold his own) in-person town hall during the upcoming Senate recess.

As Trump’s largest campaign donor Elon Musk takes a chainsaw to our federal government and wreaks havoc on Ohio and our country, Ohioans want their Senators to explain why they have failed to stand up for their constituents. Ohio citizens are frustrated by their inability to convey their concerns and get answers from either of their United States Senators. Senator Husted has yet to open a single office in Ohio, and Senator Moreno hasn’t shown his face publicly in the state. 

WHEN:

Let the Genocide Begin

Citizens of America. Are you prepared to sit back and watch another round of genocide of innocent human beings in Gaza? It is clear that President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have reached an agreement. In the meeting rooms at the Pentagon and White House, the Israel government and American Empire have agreed on a plan to ethnically cleans Gaza. The first stage is to shut off all aid to Gaza, to shut off the electricity, and to destroy the water system. In the middle ages this was called siege warfare.

The genocidal leaders failed to invite me to the planning meetings, but Israel's announcements over the past two days indicate that they will institute a siege. Trump will continue to offer Palestinians an off ramp in Jordan or Egypt, despite the governments of those two countries expressly refusing to accept the ethnically cleansed Palestinian population of 2.1 million people. We can be sure the Empire is applying maximum pressure to those two countries. Saudi Arabia is hovering in the background, supporting the American Empire in it's willingness to slaughter the remaining population of Gaza, while attempting to pacify it's Arab Muslim population.

Big Farms Breed Big Flu: End the Cage Age for a Healthier, Affordable Path to Food Security

The foundation of good health is simple: Wholesome food, fresh air, physical movement and low stress. Yet, these fundamental principles are absent in modern food production.

Animal factories—industrial-scale factory farm livestock operations—create ideal conditions for the emergence and rapid spread of disease, including avian flu.

High-density confinement, genetic uniformity, and poor air quality weaken birds’ immune systems and enable viruses to mutate and transmit quickly.

Unlike in natural settings, where biodiversity and space act as buffers against disease, factory farms concentrate thousands or even millions of animals in close quarters, amplifying viral loads and increasing the risk of spillover to wild birds and even humans.

The industry’s reliance on mass culling, vaccines, and “biosecurity measures” fails to address the root cause of so many food safety and food security crises: an unnatural, high-stress system that prioritizes profit over resilience.

Nowhere is this more evident than in today’s egg crisis, resulting in soaring prices, plummeting availability, and over 120 million chickens killed due to avian flu scares.
