On WBCR–Climate change and extinction discussion with Guy McPherson *(updated)
Reminder, and Shameless self promotion here. I do a radio show out of Brooklyn called Sex and Politics. We broadcast/webcast starting at 8 PM on Friday nights and also webcast simultaneously. On June 20, I spoke to Guy McPherson, professor emeritus in Natural Resources and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, who has written a book GOING DARK, […]
The prospects for campaign finance reform–Sex and Politics
On Sex and Politics (the fun little radio show out of Brooklyn that I do) I spoke to two people from organizations fighting for electoral reform in the way that we finance campaigns in this country. It’s a worthwhile, insightful hour on how our politics are determined post Citizens United. My guests: Kurt Walters of […]
Fukushima in focus–this week’s Sex and Politics
This Thursday on Sex and Politics, We’ll be speaking to Karl Grossman. Grossman has spent the last few decades writing about all things nuclear–everything from nuclear power to nuclear weapons to NASA’s use of plutonium power to drive its satellites. He’s a frequent citation in Project Censored, which tries to share stories that are well-researched […]
Tangerine Bolen, the NDAA and the Surveillance state
This is a follow-up to my Sex and Politics radio interview with Tangerine Bolen the other night. You’ll be able to hear it at our podcast site over the next few days, but the important part is here. I say this knowing that some of what I put forward here will be dismissed as conspiracy […]
Tonight on Sex and Politics: Tangerine Bolen
Tonight on Sex and Politics, I’ll be talking to Tangerine Bolen, Executive Director of Revolution Truth, and a plaintiff in the critical case to overturn the military detention provisions of the NDAA. Yesterday, an appeals court has overturned the injunction granted by Judge Forrest, which prevented enforcement of Section 1021 of the Act. THIS APPLIES […]
Hacking, Phreaking, Anonymous and Asymmetrical warfare
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I was following the antics of the wildly amorphous phenomenon known as Hacking. Short history: Hacking originated at MIT in the 1950’s as part of their model train club. In the days before phones and computers became almost identical, people like John Draper became the godfathers […]
The suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing–interesting link
WARNING–CONSPIRACY THEORIES AHEAD When I’m at WBCR, I seem to be the go-to source for many of my colleagues who want to know arcane things about history. My problem is that I read a lot of alternate press pretty voraciously, and every once in awhile, I recall some obscure detail I’ve read a decade or […]
A great show on Sex and Politics!
We had a helluva time tonight on Sex and Politics–hope you were listening, but if you weren’t, here are the highlights! We spoke to Rachel Schragis of People’s Puppets of Occupy Wall Street. Lots of big events planned for May first, and a history of the colorful giant puppets you see at demonstrations. Their work […]
Tonight on Sex and Politics!
Tonight on WBCR’s Sex and Politics, I will be speaking to some of the planners for OCCUPY WALL STREET‘s May Day events–they’re asking people to take the day off (call in sick!) and come to one of their many events (protests, speak-outs, performances). Lots of interesting events going on, and there’s still time to get […]
The Wikileaks event at Judson–a short summary
Last week on WBCR, I told you about Birgitta Jónsdóttir, the Icelandic MP and Wikileaks member who was in NY to talk about the Bradley Manning case. She was at a round-table event last Friday at Judson Memorial Church in New York along with a group of journalists who’ve been covering the case for those of […]
