1:30-2 Romero Institute Major Action Now — “Stop Line 3”

Roots Action’s Progressive Hub tam is on the ground in Minnesota where, to date, thousands have joined the frontlines to stop Line 3. Indigenous leaders and allies have been resisting this pipeline for years, and although the Enbridge corporation nears the end of construction, the struggle is far from over. Today our movement is gathered at the Minnesota capitol to protect the water, defend the land, and urge the elected officials to cancel the pipeline.




Enbridge Energy Company is currently constructing the pipeline (violating treaty rights) through 800 fragile wetlands and 200 bodies of water, including the Mississippi River! We are up against corporate greed, ecological destruction, and the legacy of colonialism and genocide. But at the Giniw Collective and Honor the Earth resistance camps, we have been constantly reminded of the power and beauty of living in a community that draws on indigenous knowledge.

2-2:30 TUC Radio:

‘’Overshoot, the Energy Conundrum and Climate Change ‘’

Prof. Bill Rees




Prof. Rees first defined “Ecological Footprint” and “Overshoot” My colleague Alex Smith, host of Radio Ecoshock, put out a provocative statement on his weekly radio program. He announced: Who can question the Green New Deal and holy solar power? Guest Megan Seibert and super-scientist Bill Rees just published a scathing report. They say it’s time to shrink or die.” end quote. I was intrigued by the provocation and downloaded the 19 page paper – and an inspiring talk by Professor Bill Rees and will present excerpts of both on this program.




William Rees is a bio-ecologist, ecological economist, former Director and Professor Emeritus of the University of British Columbia’s School of Community and Regional Planning. Rees is perhaps best known as the originator and co-developer (with his graduate students) of ecological footprint analysis. Eco Footprint is a measure of the demands made by a person or group of people on global natural resources. Eco Footprint and Overshoot have become globally used terms used in personal pocket calculators and United Nations needs assessments. The expanding human eco-footprint has arguably become the world’s best-known indicator of the un-sustainability of techno-industrial society.

Rees is a founding member and former President of the Canadian Society for Ecological Economics; a founding Director of the One Earth Initiative; and a Fellow of the Post-Carbon Institute. He was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 2006 … and elected a full member of the Club of Rome in 2014.

This recording of Bill Rees was made in October, 2019, at a conference on Lighter Living in his home town. It was organized by the city of Vancouver, Simon Fraser University and his own organization, One Earth.




The program ends with excerpts from very recent paper that Professor Bill Rees co wrote with Megan Seibert, the Executive Director of the REAL Green New Deal: “Through the Eye of a Needle: An Eco-Heterodox Perspective on the Renewable Energy Transition” was published July 26, 2021. It’s a well organized paper of 19 pages including 112 footnotes.




Megan Seibert and Bill Rees critique the mainstream energy transition narrative and re-define the climate crisis within its broader context of ecological overshoot, and numerous collectively fatal problems with so-called renewable energy technologies. They write that a contraction of the human enterprise is needed and … to achieve sustainability and salvage civilization, society must embark on a planned, cooperative descent from an extreme state of overshoot in just a decade or two.

12-12:30 ‘Medical Racism’ Producer Tells RFK, Jr.: Black Americans ‘Waking Up to Medical Tyranny’

Kevin Jenkins, CEO of Urban Global Health Alliance and producer of the film, “Medical Racism,” told RFK, Jr. that Blacks and whites must unite to fight the greatest tyrannies of all time.

Black Americans are waking up and pushing back against medical tyranny, Kevin Jenkins, CEO of the Urban Global Health Alliance, told Children’s Health Defense Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., on the “RFK Jr. The Defender Podcast.”

Jenkins, producer of the documentary film “Medical Racism: The New Apartheid,” is a leader in the health freedom movement. (Free viewing - click on ‘film’).




“I’m a firm believer in uniting white and Black Americans in the fight against the greatest tyrannies of all time: Big Pharma, Big Tech, the banking industry and the education cartel,” Jenkins said.




Jenkins is working to build new institutions that offer the “ability to move past the world we live in today and build a bridge to a better future for us,” one that includes having “ownership in our lives.”

Jenkins stressed the importance of embracing “informed consent” when it comes to vaccines.




When Kennedy asked Jenkins why he thought Blacks were among those described as “vaccine hesitant,” he answered:

“Black Americans have a deeper understanding of these industries better than anyone, and in particular, Big Pharma. With all of the chronic illness in our community, with all of the experimentation that has happened in our community, they don’t want to trust the system that’s trapped them in the health system, the [system] that they’re now paying more attention to because of this COVID narrative that more Black Americans are dying of COVID than anybody else.”

I’m “proud to say that Black Americans are really waking up,” said Jenkins.

Black Americans are doing more research, said Jenkins. They’re turning off the TV and they’re looking at the history of eugenics, racism and events such as the Tuskegee experiments, Jenkins said.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 15



12-1 Dave Emory, FTR#1194 The Narco-Fascism of Chiang Kai-Shek and the Kuomintang, Part 1

POSTED BY DAVE EMORY ⋅ AUGUST 3, 2021 ⋅ 2 COMMENTS




With virulent anti-Chinese ideology driving American foreign, domestic and national security policy, we begin a long series of programs setting forth the history of China during the last couple of centuries.

The anti-China pathology gripping the U.S. was concisely expressed in a New York Times article a couple of years ago. The Steve Bannon-led anti-China effort has now become U.S. doctrine: ” . . . . Fear of China has spread across the government, from the White House to Congress to federal agencies, where Beijing’s rise is unquestioningly viewed as an economic and national security threat and the defining challenge of the 21st century. . . .”

A viable understanding of China’s past yields understanding of its present.

Awareness of key dynamics of Chinese history–the Opium Wars in particular–includes:




1.–The decisive role of European and American military domination and economic exploitation of China.

2.–The role of the narcotics traffic in the erosion of Chinese society in the 19th century.

3.–The British-led “Opium Wars,” which were the foundation of the destruction wrought by dope addiction in China.

4.–The Opium Wars and their implementation by “Gunboat Diplomacy” of British and European territorial expansion in China.

5.–The pivotal role of that “Gunboat Diplomacy” in the British acquisition of Hong Kong.

6.–Contemporary Chinese concern with the military safety of their ports, territorial waters, adjacent seas and oceans, shipping lanes, merchant marine traffic. This stems in large measure from China’s experience with “Gunboat Diplomacy” and the ravaging of China by Imperial Japan during the 1930’s and 1940’s.

7.–The introduction of Western missionaries into China–American missionaries, in particular.

8.–The fostering of the “Missionary position” toward China on the part of the U.S.

9.–American missionaries’ use of morphine to cure Chinese opium addicts, a practice so prevalent that the Chinese referred to morphine as “Jesus opium.”

10.–The importing of Chinese laborers to the U.S., and the resultant, deadly anti-Chinese reaction by White America.

11.–The enormous opium trade in China as the foundation for the coalescence and ascent of Shanghai’s Green Gang and Tu Yueh-Shen: “Big Eared Tu.”

12.–The dominance of the Kuomintang of Chiang Kai-Shek by the Green Gang and Big-Eared Tu.

13.–The fundamental reliance of Chiang’s government on the narcotics trade.

14.–The dominant role of Chiang Kai-Shek’s regime in the U.S. narcotics trade.

15.–The doctrinaire fascism of Chiang Kai-Shek and his operational relationships with Nazi Germany, Mussolini’s Italy and Imperial Japan.

16.–The central role of the Soong family in Chiang Kai-Shek’s Kuomintang; T.V. Soong, his sisters Mae-ling (married to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek), Ai-ling (married to H.H. Kung, a key finance minister of the Kuomointang), and several of T. V.‘s brothers, who also shared in the slicing of the pie under Chiang.

17.–The pivotal role of American publishing giant Henry Luce, whose missionary background in China informed and animated his adoration of Chiang Kai-Shek and Mme. Chiang.

18.–The role of the Luce publishing empire and the enormous financial influence of the consummately corrupt Soong family in spawning “The China Lobby.”

19.–The decisive role of the Chiang Kai-Shek’s refusal to fight the Japanese invaders, combined with the brutal repression and civic ineptitude in driving the Chinese people into the arms of Mao Tse-Tung and the Chinese Communist Party.

NB: More detailed discussion of the Opium Wars is presented in the two programs following this one.




The program sets forth anti-Chinese racism past and present.

Peter Thiel–lynchpin of power in the Trump administration, the top dog in Palantir (the alpha predator of the electronic surveillance milieu), a key player in Facebook–has disseminated anti-Chinese vitriol about the “yellow peril” in Silicon Valley.




He has been joined in that effort by Steve Bannon, a coordinator of anti-China activity in Washington D.C.

12-1 Alan Watts

“Psychedelic Explosion” Part 2 of 4

What is going on in the minds of millions of Americans, both

"hip" and relatively "square," who have been experimenting with LSD and

marijuana? The experiment has gone so far that we see its signs all

around us, in art, fashion, advertising and common speech. Is it an

escape or an adventure? A menace to sanity or a new step in evolution? A

frivolous search for "kicks" or a new kind of religion?”

1-2 Lama Tsultrim Allione “The Fierce Empowered Feminine”




Lama Tsultrim Allione is an internationally known Buddhist teacher and the founder of Tara Mandala, a mountain retreat center south of Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Lama Tsultrim was the first American woman to be ordained as a Tibetan nun by His Holiness, the 16th Karmapa. After four years as a nun, she returned her monastic vows, married, and raised three children. She is the author of several books, including Women of Wisdom, Wisdom Rising, and Feeding Your Demons: Ancient Wisdom for Resolving Inner Conflict. With Sounds True, she has released a new 10-part audio series called The Empowered Feminine: Meditating with the Dakini Mandala. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, we explore the dakini principle in Tibetan Buddhism, and Lama Tsultrim takes us into a meditation that invites us to actually become wrathful dakinis—transforming anger into wisdom and compassion. Tami Simon and Lama Tsultrim also discuss the role of the feminine in the dharma, how Buddhism might be different if it had been articulated by and for women, and why the “fierce and forceful” aspect of the feminine is so urgently needed in our world right now.
