line 3

In this episode, Dani discusses happiness within US society and how and why it is so difficult to obtain.

They recommend reading this article on Kveller called "It's Okay to Be Angry. Judaism Says So." by Kate Hennessey to hear a bit about how anger is necessary for change and allows us to be happy.

Dani also recommend checking out the StopLine3 website to access ways to get involved and read up on the state of Shell River.

They recommend appreciating and being grateful for the fresh, clean Water you do have. Also, following @mmiwhoismissing on instagram and listening to Total Liberation's episode 77 called, "Water is Life: The US War Machine Poisons Hawaii" for more information on the current Water crisis on O'ahu.

And to learn more about your most-local pipeline resistance, try visiting StopLine3.org, TinyHouseWarriors.com and Secwepemculecw.org, and listening to It's Going Down's podcast episode "This is America #151".

What's up to my wild-hearted wildebeests and capering cape buffalos!

Welcome back to the BNP everyone! Thank you for joining. Shout out to my patrons- I love you! Strap in folks, there's a lot on the docket for this one.

This week is a solo mission, and I tackle 3 topics that are both timely and critical for empire babies and concerned global citizens to understand. They are also all being ignored in the corporate media, unsurprisingly. 

Firstly, we cover #Striketober, a month of rolling worker strikes across the U.S. There are currently 18 active strikes, including at massive corporations like Kellogg's and John Deere. Solidarity to all striking workers!! Boycott Kellogg's products until the workers get what they deserve.

Secondly, we cover the ongoing Indigenous led protests against the Enbridge Line 3 Tar Sand Pipeline in N. Minnesota.  This pipeline is brazenly breaking tribal treaties and polluting our precious land and water. Indigenous activists and allies occupied the Bureau of Indian Affairs building in D.C. for the first time since 1972. Over 150 people have been arrested and elders have been getting beaten and tazed by the state.

Finally, we unpack AFRICOM, or U.S. African Command. AFRICOM represents a troublingly large and growing footprint of the U.S. military, intelligence agencies and special forces across the African continent. AFRICOM grew massively under the Obama administration, and has accelerated since the brutal overthrow of Libya, because the Libyan leadership was a major force in resisting AFRICOM. Now, it's spread out all across the continent, and the U.S. is executing 4,000+ mostly secret missions a year. We never hear about this, because the corporate media is white supremacist. This episode is my offering to help raise awareness about AFRICOM, so we can build a movement at home to end it. U.S. Out Of Africa!  

Thank you for rating, reviewing and subscribing to the BNP wherever you listen to podcasts, and for spreading the word and telling a friend about the BNP. It's how we expand our tribe of philosopher-barbarians and un-fuck the world together!

In this episode, Dani takes us on a journey of imagination. They'd like this episode to act as a thought experiment and get us all thinking.

They recommend learning about Line 3 on StopLine3.org, visiting Mazaska Talks to learn how to divest your money from banks supporting big oil, and checking out It's Going Down, specifically the episode titled "Anti-Pipeline Resistance & Organizing for Indigenous Survival: A Discussion" to learn more about Line 3's current resistance and suggestions for how to be more effective.

Generation GND speaks with Winona LaDuke, founder of Honor the Earth & Indigenous Water Protector & an important leader of the #StopLine3 movement, about the criminality of the Canadian multinational, Enbridge, that owns the pipeline, the story of the Anishinaabe people who call Northern Minnesota home, and the need to end the fossil fuel economy.

In this episode, Dani takes you down a rabbit hole to discuss boredom, attention spans, the COVID-19 pandemic, social media, and traffic accidents.

She recommends episode 8 of Understanding Kindness titled, "Social Media Is Killing Us".

She also recommends joining in the Line 3 resistance. Resources include a 'Come to the Line' hub on StopLine3.org, as well as this Google Docs Dashboard for frontline resistance work. The Red Lake Treaty Camp is also calling for support (Dani's social media post). And finally, Dani recommends really appreciating your Water. Be grateful.

In this episode, we dive into the ways that extractive capitalist industries have fueled the MMIW crisis.  MMIWG2S survivor Ahyoka Atali joins me in discussing sex trafficking, pipelines, man camps, fisheries, and the ways that these profit-driven projects have magnified the violence perpetuated against Indigenous women, children, and 2 Spirit 🌹


Because this is such a heavy topic, we decided we'd drink a mocktail for this episode.

LEMON DROP MOCKTAIL

(from FoodBanjo .com)
1.25 oz lemon juice
¾ oz simple syrup
2.5 oz club soda, chilled
Sugar

Follow the same process with dipping martini glass in sugar, Shake ice cubes, simple syrup, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker 15 seconds or more. Strain into martini glass, top with club soda and garnish with lemon peel
