    Jeremy Alderson Protests Fracking, Question for the Energy Secretary, Conde Nast Working for Monsanto?

    Jeremy Alderson Protests Fracking, Question for the Energy Secretary, Conde Nast Working for Monsanto?

    Jeremy Alderson, director of the Homelessness Marathon, was recently jailed for protesting against fracking in the Finger Lakes. You’ll hear from him in the first segment of the September 4, 2014 edition of Tell Somebody

    After that, I had a question or two for the Secretary of Energy and others at the new National Security Campus. Then, a few thoughts on the 75th anniversary of the Molotov Ribbentrop pact, the 25th anniversary of the Baltic Way and current NATO saber rattling, and finally, what looks like a Conde Nast/New Yorker campaign for Monsanto and against Monsanto’s most prominent critic.

    Cow Dung, Drones, BS & B2’s: Vandana Shiva, Brian Terrell & Ray McGovern

    Cow Dung, Drones, BS & B2’s: Vandana Shiva, Brian Terrell & Ray McGovern

    On the April 24, 2014 edition of Tell Somebody, we heard from Dr. Vandana Shiva, longtime peace activist Brian Terrell, and former CIA analyst Ray McGovern.

    Author and ecological activist Dr. Shiva made some brief remarks at a dinner a day after speaking at Unity Temple on the Plaza in Kansas City on April 17, an event broadcast live on 90.1 FM KKFI Community Radio.  In her dinner remarks, she talked about the worship of cow dung, recalled receiving an “award” from a Monsanto PR flack, and explained how people can respond at a planetary scale through local action.

    Brian Terrell returned to Whiteman Air Force Base, the site of his 2012 arrest resulting in a 6 month prison sentence for trying to deliver an indictment to the base commander.  Terrell talked about B-2 bombers, and the irony of how drone warfare, ostensibly intended to keep war at a distance, actually brings it closer.

    Ray McGovern also spoke at Whiteman AFB, starting out by calling Brian Terrell a prophet.  McGovern talked about the silence of the institutional church about racist war, and comments on reporting by Sy Hersh, published that day, about Secretary of State John Kerry’s lies about a hoped for “little” war against Syria.

    Vandana Shiva on her upcoming KC trip

    Vandana Shiva on her upcoming KC trip

    Since first speaking with her on the phone for a segment about water privatization on the Heartland Labor Forum in 2003, I have been hoping Dr. Vandana Shiva would someday make it to Kansas City.

    So I was delighted to read a couple of months ago that Cultivate Kansas City was partnering with UMKC to host a 2-day visit by Dr. Vandana Shiva on Thursday, April 17 and Friday, April 18, 2014.  There is more information on this at www.cultivatekc.org, and on a facebook event page titled

     “Dr. Vandana Shiva "Cultivating Diversity, Freedom and Hope"

    Vandana Shiva is a world-renowned physicist, feminist, activist and author.  Her many books include Water Wars, Soil Not Oil and Making Peace with the Earth.

    I called her in Delhi, India and recorded a conversation broadcast on Tell Somebody on April 3, 2014.

    The December 29th, 2009 edition of Tell Somebody takes a look back at the year, actually going back to late 2008 with a post-election look at the Obama transition with author Paul Street and former CIA analyst Ray McGovern.  We also hear about Gaza from former resident Mohammed Atwa, then, as we are in the midst of the disaster of healthcare "reform," we  hear about the disaster that is healthcare in America from KU medical student Tim Lyon and Physicians for a National Health Program co-founder Dr. David Himmelstein of Harvard Medical School.  Also, world renowned environmental activist Vandana Shiva talks about "Soil, Not Oil" and some comments from Alternative Radio's David Barsamian.

    Vandana Shiva - Soil, Not Oil

    Vandana Shiva - Soil, Not Oil

    Vandana Shiva on her book Soil Not Oil, and Part IV of Eyewitness to the Russian Revolution.

    Vandana Shiva is a world-renowned environmental leader and thinker.  Her latest book is Soil Not Oil, Engironmental Justice In An Age Of Climate Crisis.  On this edition of Tell Somebody, I talk to Vandana Shiva about the book.

    "A must-read for anyone who takes the future of the planet seriously,  Soil Not Oil dares us to imagine a world where people matter more than profits."

    Then I finish up the show with Part IV of Eyewitness to the Russian Revolution.  Hugo Hakk, machine gun trainer/officer in the Czar's Army is on leave from the Eastern Front in WWI and finds himself in Petrograd just as the February Revolution is breaking out in 1917.  After a side trip to Finland, he's back in Petrograd on International Women's Day. 

    Tell Somebody is a locally produced weekly public affairs program on 90.1 FM, KKFI, Kansas City Community Radio.
