Fire Weather: Climate Choas...

 

Hey, Duncler!

Fire weather: climate chaos is already here
(The Chris Hedges Report on YouTube)

"Few places illustrate the destructive cycle of fossil fuel-driven climate change as well as Alberta, Canada. Home to the tar sands boom, the province's remote north has also become a site of some of the worst climate disasters in recorded history—like the 2016 Fort McMurray Fire, which swallowed up 1.5 million acres and burned for three months. John Vaillant, author of Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World, joins The Chris Hedges Report to discuss the Fort McMurray Fire, the tar sands industry responsible for the conditions that produced it, and the tinderbox world Big Oil has made in its all-consuming pursuit of profit."

#10 #2's ON GEORGE!

 

(Jimmy Dore & Due Dissidence Hosts on YouTube)


"British firebrand, truth-teller and Palestinian rights supporter George Galloway has won a by-election in the Rochdale district in Manchester, and the United Kingdom elite is flipping out. Even Prime Minister Rishi Sunak felt compelled to speak out against Galloway, who announced in his victory speech, “This is for Gaza!

Jimmy and Due Dissidence hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss discuss just how much the UK establishment detests Galloway."

I enjoyed this discussion but the clips of Galloway's podcast and the statements of The Prime Minister were telling, and damning. Go Galloway!

Socialism: by and for the people

 
I wish I lived in a country where I had a choice to vote for individuals with new ideas, or even old ideas, that encompass valuable ideals that would improve our lives. I wish I lived someplace where a variety of disparate voices would represent a constituency based on the percentage of citizens that agree with them. I'm talking about a genuinely representative government. I can only imagine.
 
Imagine if governance reflected the opinions of those being governed and leaders would influence policy based on a plurality of public opinion, instead of being governed by feeble-minded spokes models who sell out to various cabals of unelected special interest sociopaths.
 
 The shit is hitting the fan and the shit is the illusion of democracy. Buckle up.

BLESS THE IRISH!

 Ireland has leaders.

Free Julian Assange!

NO JUSTICE FOR JULIAN

"On Day One of Julian Assange’s attempt to appeal Britain’s order to extradite him to the United States, his lawyers laid out a timeline that exposed U.S. motives to destroy the journalist who revealed their high-level state crimes."
