Danny Schecter, the New Dissector, is a writer, film-maker, TV producer (Rights & Wrongs was one of his TV shows), one of the founders of Globalvision, and media critic who lives and works in New York. As Schecter and other independent media makers have been pointing out, the corporate media has been influential in molding people's opinions about what is going on in the world more and more for the last 20 years, as it gets more and more concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer media corporations which are also close to the US Government. Sue Supriano caught up with Danny Schecter to talk to him while he was in San Francisco for the opening of his new film.
In this show Schecter concentrates on his just released film, WMD- Weapons of Mass Deception. The film is jam packed with stories and facts about how the corporate media influences public opinion with distortions, lies, and Hollywood film approaches as to what is going on in Iraq and with the American military. It explores and explains the role of the media in whipping up support for the war in Iraq and goes into details about how it specifically does that. For example, some "embedded journalists" are interviewed in the film and it becomes clear how "embedded journalists" adopt the interests and concerns of the military they get personally close while being "embedded". Another example of the many many details included in the film is how the details of how some of the pictures shown about the happiness of the Iraqi people to see the US military were totallly staged. The film is very very informative, interesting and an important contribution to help American media consumers "wake up". to o whhere were two wars going on in Iraq - one was fought with arm

Dave Adelson works as a research physiologist and also spends a lot of his time as a media activist. He has been working with Pacifica Radio for some time and is on the Pacifica National Board as well as the local KPFK Local Station Board in Los Angeles where he lives. He's very excited about the possibilities of radio producers being "hubs" rather than "gatekeepers", creating our own really democratic media and distributing it for little or nothing. He is one of the founders of the LA Sound Posse which is "copylefted" meaning their social justice audio material is not copy- righted and controled but, to the contrary, it is uncontroled and intended to be spread out used freely far and wide in an affordable and decentralized manner as possible. Those involved (and it's open to all) go to events to both record and distribute speeches by activists, writers, and independent media makers. They sell CD's for just enough to cover costs.
The new technology of MP3 and the internet makes decentralized and affordable (free??!!) very easy already and Adelson predicts it will become more and more decentralized, accessible and easy to distribute as wireless networks spread. The next two years will see development of the MP3 players and it's up to us as the people's media producers to see that there is plenty of material for people to hear.

"Peak Oil" and it's impact on us, Program 1 -- Richard Heinberg is a writer and teacher whose focus in these times is "peak oil". Presently he teaches Human Ecology at New College of San Francisco in Santa Rosa, California. Two of his several books are "The Party's Over-Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies" and "Powerdown:Options and Actions for a Post Carbon World". In this first of two interviews with Sue Supriano he explains that "peak oil" means that the cheap oil we've had available to build our industrial world is over and our industrialized world has already started coming to the end that is inevitable and which is likely to be a huge dislocation from the way of life to which we are accustomed in the "first world". It will affect the energy that we're used to having and transportation, food supply, common materials that we're used to which are based on oil-- plastic, clothes, buildings and on and on.
In this interview he focuses on analyzing the geopolitical issues of who controls the remaining oil as well as the probable wars and political control which we see already occuring. He says he thinks "the gloves will come off" in terms of attempts to control the oil and other energy resources. This interview lays the ground for the following interview which focuses more on what we can do as we must "Powerdown". Check out his website at www.museletter.com

"Peak Oil" and it's impact on all of us: Richard Heinberg, a member of the Core Faculty at the New College of California in Santa Rosa, is the author of several award-winning books, the latest 2 of which are The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies and Power Down: Options and Actions for a Post Carbon World. In this radio show we discuss the issues of "peak oil", meaning that the peak of cheap and affordable oil (and natural gas) has passed and the end of the industrial age is coming to an end. Though the exact date is unknown it is agreed by all the experts it will be within the next ten years, and Heinberg thinks it will be within the next 2 years or so, probably starting in the next few months. How we prepare for this as individuals and as a society will make a huge difference in the ease with which we make this transition and the amount of suffering experienced in this moving out of the "age of oil".

Ramao daSilva is a leader of the National Coordination Committee of the MST (Landless Workers' Movement of Brazil). In Brazil, 3% of the population owns two-thirds of the arable land resulting in a huge population of landless peasants and hungry people. Clara Long, who works with the US-based, Friends of the MST, translates the interview. DaSilva describes how the MST is democratically organized by being divided into collectives of families which are then part of a larger collective, etc.. The farmers farm organically with an objective of every person having at least one good meal a day.
This year is the 20th anniversary of the founding of the MST, the largest grassroots organization of rural workers in the Americas-- perhaps in the world. DaSilva talks about the history of the formation of the MST, how the Workers' Party which was also formed 20 years ago, is now in power in Brazil, how President Lula supports the MST though his hands are presently tied in terms of real action with regard to land distribution changes in Brazil and how this is due to the neoliberal policies in place in Brazil as well as in much of the world.

Ali Sharif is the Project Director of Permacultura Latina America.  The organization is based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The permaculture approach was designed by Australian Bill Mollison in the late '70's and its methodology has traveled the globe. It is based on the connections between the combined issues of food, clean water, renewable energy, biological sanitation and dignified shelter and how they coalesce into an integrated process.
Ali Sharif was born in Iran, educated in Europe and has been working in Ecuador, Guatemala, Peru and Brazil since 1988 when Permacultura Latina America, under his direction, started to teach this integrated and sustainable approach in Latin America. Most of the time Sharif has lived in the Amazon working with indigenous groups. The main work is to train others in the permaculture approach of harmony and balance. To date they have trained many many thousands of people throughout Latin America with an emphasis on Brazil-- a huge and important country where the disparity in income is the largest in Latin America. The emphais is particularly on training youth with the idea that it is easier to teach young minds than have to "unlearn" old habits. These youth in turn pass on their skills. At the end, however, economics is still a crucial aspect of the success of these practices.

The Sustainable Solutions Caravan, a biodiesel bus running on pure vegetable oil, is going from the Bay Area to Costa Rica for the second time. It's leaving early Dec. and Zack Zaidman, Abeja Hummel, Tom Shaver and Stephen Brooks will be on it. Sue Supriano talks to them in this interview. On their way down south they will be promoting and popularizing sustainability (lots of permaculture) throughout the countries where they travel, focusing on the use of renewable energies, organic farming and sustainable lifestyles. They will share seeds, information and technologies for sustainable living that are environmentally, economically and socially relevant to local communities. They will connect farmers with organic distributors-- thereby providing economic incentive and technical help for farmers to transition to organic and they will support the creation of a network of people, projects, and organizations involved in all aspects of sustainable living solutions throughout neo-tropical Central America.
They will also create events for information exchange with already-existing grassroots efforts in communities where they go, hold press conferences and meet with the Ministries of Agriculture and other governmental agencies in each country to discuss ways to support and expand sustaniable, organic farming practices in their respective countries. They'll be in Mexico City on Dec. 16.

Clifford Carnicom is a computer consultant and scientist. He has made it his business to look into the aerosol lines in the sky about which he, and others, are concerned. It is clear that planes are putting lines in the sky very often and in great quantity. It has been impossible to get information about who is doing this or what is in the aerosol material being discharged into our atmosphere. They are definitely NOT vapor trails which come from all planes and disappear very quickly. These stay in the air as they dissipate for many many hours, days, etc..
Carnicom has been researching this matter for something like 8 years and found that there is definitely particulate matter being discharged and it's not good for living things. His website is www.carnicom.com

Peretz Kidron is an Israeli writer and peace activist. He can be heard on KPFA radio where he has been reporting for years. He works with the organization Yes-Gvul, meaning "There is a limit", which supports the growing Rufusenik movement in Israel-- the members of the Israeli military who refuse to go to the occupied territories to oppress the Palestinian people. These are soldiers of conscience who are the cutting edge of those Israelis who oppose the occupation. According to Kidron, there were at least 13,000 of these Refuseniks at the time of this interview which, if it were to happen proportionately in the US would equal 50,000 US military-- a significant number with a significant effect. The number is growing all the time as others are influenced by their fellow military who take a stand. It's also a good model for the US. Kidron urges people to adopt a Refusenik and support him/her financially and morally. What if there were a war and nobody came?

Bill Douglas and Carol Brouillet are interviewed at the 9/11 International Inquiry-Phase 1 in San Francisco, CA at the end of March, 04. Bill Douglas lives in Kansas City, Mo. where he works with the 911Visibility Project-- a national project and organization which supplies support and tools for organizing and getting out the word about what happened on Sept. 11, 01. This project goes straight to the people by using signs saying "Stop the 911 Cover-Up". Douglas talks about the need for going around some leaders and straight to the people with information and organizing. In fact, people are hungry for information and building an action-oriented 911 truth movement. More and more local organizations are being organized and the 911 visibility website provides a good way to get local contacts in your area and organize to broaden the number of people demanding an end to the cover up and an exposure of the truth of what happened on 911, 2001. The website is http://septembereleventh.org/
Carol Brouillet organized the International Inquiry, Phase 1, in San Francisco. She has been working on exposing this cover up almost since the tragic events occurred in 2001. She speaks about the conflicting interests of the Official 911 Commission, which she calls a way to justify the limitations on our civil rights-- moving toward a police state-- being put in place since September 11. She runs down the backgrounds of the commission members. People came to the Inquiry from long distances, including other countries, to this conference. The Inquiry consisted of 21 hours of talks by 911 researchers and activists. Brouillet refers to it as the ABC's of 911-- a military standdown of planes on 911, evidence of top US Gov't officials having links with the money behind Sept. 11 and Bob Graham having breakfast with the Head of Pakistani Intelligence who had wired $100.000 to Mohammed Atta a few days before 9/11, building 7 looked like a controlled demolition and collapsed on Sept. 11 even though it wasn't hit by any planes or anything-- and many many more questions (and answers) about the true story of what happened on Sept. 11. Part of the conference was a group walk across the street, carrying the "stop the 911 cover up" signs, to San Francisco City Hall to ask the present Mayor of San Francisco to investigate how and by whom Willy Brown, the former Mayor of San Francisco, was informed not to fly on 9/11. Some website are http://www.communitycurrency.org/ Phase 2 of the 911 International Citizen's Inquiry will take place from May 25. That website is http://www.911inquiry.org/ Both Douglas and Brouillet suggest that Ray Griffin's book "The New Pearl Harbor" might be the needed breakthrough on the issue of the 911 cover up. There are many website and links for further information.

Webster Tarpley wrote "The Unauthorized Biography of George W. Bush" in 1992. It sold out 25,000 copies right away and has been downloaded from the internet by millions of readers since. You can still read it on the internet. It's an underground classic. In it he writes about the connections Bush family and the Nazi movement back in the 1920's and 1930's. Prescott Bush, George W's grandfather, was a member of the Board of Directors of and stockholder with the Bank that was the principal financier of Hitler. He gives many more details in this interview. This information is important to know, Tarpley says, so we can know what we are dealing with now.
He then talks about the official story of what happened on 911 and the questions about it that exist. He offers people a conceptual scheme, based on lots of research and knowledge of past operations, to think about "terrorism" and how it's used, how covert operations work-- separating the "moles" from the "patsies" from the actual professional killers. He has 14 points which are serious questions, not being asked by the Official 911 Commission, about Sept. 11. Some of them are-- 1) why didn't planes go up to stop the planes going into the buildings 2) were the buildings controlled demolitions 3) why was the Islamic world blamed with virtually no evidence 4) what explains the drive toward a totalitarian state 5) what happened to 40 floor building 7 6) what hit the Pentagon 7) Who are the Sept. 11 criminals??-- and more. Tarpley proposes an independent international truth commission similar to the Bertrand Russell Vietnam Tribunal of 1966-'67. It will be made up of famous and non-famous people who have presentations, information and who examine the evidence by international judges. He's working on getting that set up by Aug. or Sept. of 2004, probably outside of the US since many distinguished researchers and activists would not be allowed in the U.S.. http://www.tarpley.net/

Mary Ann Tenudo, co-founder of the Chiapas Support Group, Barbara Deutch, activist, went to Cuba to the Third Hemispheric Conference against the FTAA (Free Trade Agreement of the Americas). Tenudo begins by describing the Zapatista movement which became very public in 1992 as NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) went into effect, threatening the well being and even survival of the indigenous peasants in southern Mexico in the area of Chiapas. She brings us up to date about how things are going for the Zapatistas now and the bad effects of NAFTA on Mexico's corn farmers. Positively the Zapatistas are organizing collective buying, democratic governments, etc.. From the funds from this they will finance their own schools, clinics, etc.. A very positive example of "self determination". She also talks about Plan Puebla Panama which is in the works. Funded by institutions like the World Bank, construction of the infrastructure to bring tourism and "business" to the area is in process. People protested a proposed Disneyland and, as of now, defeated the plan to build.
Deutsch and Tenudo describe their trip to Cuba, the issues of the Conference against the FTAA, and how these supposed "free trade" agreements adversely affect people all over the world. International attendees shared their stories at this conference. This was the first trip to Cuba for both of these women and they were both very excited about their visit. It seemed to them that people might have little, but all were fed and housed and wealth was relatively equitably distributed. They mention CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement) and urge people to take action to stop it.

This interview started in San Ramon, Ca., where the Administrative Headquarters of Chevron Texaco are located. A delegation of people from Amazon Watch are trying to meet with the CEO of Chevron Texaco, David O'Reilly, to, yet again, get the company to clean up the toxic waste they left behind. First you hear from John Dalrymple, Executive Dir. of the Central Labor Council of Contra Costa County and Rabbi Dan Goldblatt of Beth Chaim Congregation in San Ramon. They were invited by Amazon Watch to visit Ecuador and the areas affected by the devasatation of oil drilling by Chevron Texaco. They were so moved by the pain and suffering caused to the indigenous inhabitants-- the guardians of the forest-- that they wanted to support them in their demands to the oil company based in their community to clean up the toxic mess.
Next we hear from Rosa Moren Chalaco, a nurse from the San Carlos community, Orellana, Ecuador about her experiences and the details of the health effects on people of the area from the contamination of oil and other toxic substances. Cancer and other sicknesses are affecting a large proportion of people there. Toribio Aquinda, Delegate of the National Cofan Indigenous Federation of Ecuador, also speaks of his direct experience in his community and with the Ecuadorian government. The very good news is that they had what seemed to be a positive meeting with Chevron Texaco in San Ramon who finally said they would clean up the mess. Leila Salazar, Clean Up Ecuador Campaign Organizer with Amazon Watch, was the translator for these two people. http://www.amazonwatch.org/
