3-3:30 The Bioneers - Revolution from the Heart of Nature
"Vice to Vertue: From Carbon Crisis to Carbon Farming"
How does a virtue become a vice? How does a basic building block of life turn into a threat to life? And how do you turn that vice back into a virtue? In this half-hour we visit with two unlikely pathfinders who are helping to revolutionize farming. Calla Rose Ostrander and John Wick of the Marin Carbon Project are taking carbon out of the atmosphere and putting it back where it belongs: in the soil. In so doing, they're also revitalizing the soil, conserving water, and building agricultural resilience. Scaling up these revolutionary regenerative methods can offset the climate destabilization, which that threatens to confound agriculture and endanger our food supply.

12-1 Dave Emory,"For the Record #1014-Update on Fascism in Ukraine"
As indicated by the title, this broadcast updates and fleshes out a long path of inquiry into the development of fascism in Ukraine, implemented by the OUN/B successor organizations that were empowered by the Maidan Coup of 2014.
In past commentary, we have noted the profound Ukrainian and Gehlen-derived links to the supposed "Russian" hacks leading up to, and during, the 2016 U.S. election campaign.
These high-profile "hacks" have all the earmarks of a "cyber-false flag" operation, which we compared to the "Painting of Oswald Red" in FTR #'s 925 and 926.
Now, we learn that Victoria Nuland, a key player in the EuroMaidan Coup that placed the OUN/B fascist successor organizations in power in Ukraine was informed of the supposed "Russian" hacks months before senior DNC officials were informed.
There was a period, from around May of 2015 to March of 2016, where Victoria Nuland-again, a key EuroMaiden instigator-knew about these hacks, but the DNC effectively didn't. According to the following article, there's another set of people who were informed about the hacks in late 2015: State Department officials, including Victoria Nuland, were informed about the DNC hacks in December of 2015 and tasked with developing a US response.
" . . . . That conclusion was reinforced Wednesday by another witness, Victoria Nuland, who served as assistant secretary of state for Europe during the Obama administration. She told the panel that she had been briefed as early as December 2015 about the hacking of the Democratic National Committee - long before senior DNC officials were aware of it - and that the intrusion had all the hallmarks of a Russian operation. . . . As she and other State Department officials became 'more alarmed' about what the Russians were up to in the spring of 2016, they were authorized by then Secretary of State John Kerry to develop proposals for ways to deter the Russians. . . . "
This raises the question of whether the "response" she developed may have involved engaging and mobilizing the OUN/B and Gehlen-derived elements we looked at in FTR #'s 943 and 981.
Next, we note that Ukraine's embrace of neo-Nazi vigilantism continued, with the fourth attack on a Roma camp in six weeks, covered live on Facebook. The attack was launched by members of the new formed Azov National Druzhyna militia, an offshoot of the Azov Battalion formed in January to patrol the streets. Ukrainian police just stood around approvingly watching it happen.
We have noted that the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion runs a youth camp. Ukraine's Youth and Sports Ministry published a video last week showing its officials unanimously voting to fund variously organizations for "national-patriotic education projects". Among the recipients of those funds: Svoboda and C14.
Specifically, the money went to three far right organizations founded by members of C14 and Svoboda. The Educational Assembly, founded by C14 head Yevhen Karas; C14 Sich, founded by Volodymyr Karas, who shares the same patronymic, surname, and address as the C14 head; and Holosiyiv Hideout, whose founders include several members of Svoboda.
The Svoboda group will by about $29,200 for four festival. That alone is profoundly disturbing. But even more disturbing is what The two C14 groups got funds for: The C14 'Educational Assembly' and C14 Sich's children's summer camp will received about $16,900 for three children's events.
There has been yet another attack on a Roma camp in Ukraine, this time on the outskirts Lviv. A 24 year old was stabbed to death and four others were injured, including a 10 year old boy. Seven suspects ages 16 and 17 have been arrested and a 20 year old is accused of planning the attack.
Might these youth be affiliated with, or motivated by, any of the fascist youth groups funded by the Ukrainian government?
In any event, it's clear that it's 'open season' on Roma in Ukraine.
Next, we look at the faked assassination of Arkady Babchenko. The alleged hitman supposedly hired by the Russians was a member of Pravy Sektor and a veteran of the combat in the civil war in Ukraine's East. Another player in the alleged "Russian" plot was an executive with a German-Ukrainian arms manufacturer that manufactured sights for sniper rifles.
Another question in the Babchenko affair concerns the alleged planned purchase of 300 AK-47s and large quantities of explosives. These munitions were supposedly part of a "Russian" terror campaign, linked to the alleged "Russian" plot against the life of Babchenko and the other journalists.
Recall that, back In March, it was learned that far right Ukrainian war hero, Nadia Savchenko, was alleged by Ukrainian authorities a plotting a devastating terror plot on Ukraine's parliament? That was 2-3 months, right around the time the SBU allegedly got its intelligence about about this new alleged Moscow-directed assassination/terror plot. Is this the Savchenko terror plot misrepresented under the guise of a Russian terror plot?
One of the signature features of the Babchenko affair is the list of 47 names of journalists allegedly targeted by Russia was unofficially leaked yesterday. A number of Ukrainian journalists, including those on the list, question its credibility. They note the list is filled with the names of people critical of the Ukrainian authorities.
Anatoliy Matios, Ukraine's chief military prosecutor, gave an extensive interview where he said that Jews are behind all wars and want to "drown ethnic Slavs in blood." He would theoretically be in charge of prosecutor abuses by the Ukrainian military units fighting in the East - like the neo-Nazi 'volunteer battalions.'
In addition, recall the cryptic statement Matios made back in 2016 about the identity of the people involved with the 2014 sniper attacks: "When public learns who is involved in this, people will be very surprised." In FTR #'s 982, 993 and 1004, we examined evidence that Ukrainian fascists may well have executed those sniper attacks. It is not reassuring to learn that the chief military prosecutor who is involved in that investigation is a neo-Nazi.
Before approaching the statements of Mayor Moskal (of the Ukrainian village of Skole), we note that a diplomat working in Ukraine's Hamburg (Germany) consulate expressed openly fascist statements.
We conclude with a look at some of the fruit borne on the vine of Ukrainian revisionist history.
The mayor of Skole cited the work of Volodomyr Viatrovych (English translations from the Ukrainian vary) and his "Ukrainian Institute of National Memory" as documentary justification for an anti-Semitic tirade.

2-3 Chris Hedges "Moral Imperatives"
Helena, MT, March 11, 2015
What are individuals to do when faced with a moral imperative? And society at large? Philosophers since ancient times have been wrestling with this question as it involves issues of ethics and conscience. When we see an injustice do we remain passive and silent or do we intervene to try and stop it. Is it our problem or someone else's? Powerful states and institutions like to cloak themselves in morality and virtue. Citizens are propagandized to let the big boys, since they know what's best, handle everything. Do we act on our principles? What are our responsibilities? Racial segregation was an obvious immorality. Why did it take so long for it to be eliminated? Same with voting rights. Today the old poisonous wines are being repackaged in new bottles. Once again we are faced with moral imperatives.
Chris Hedges is an award-winning journalist who has covered wars in the Balkans, the Middle East and Central America. He writes a weekly column for Truthdig.com and is a senior fellow at The Nation Institute. He is the author of many books including /Empire of Illusion,' 'Death of the Liberal Class,' 'The World As It Is,' and 'Wages of Rebellion.'
