  • A cherished coastal preserve is under attack by the campus administration that was appointed last year by Governor DeSantis in the right-wing takeover underway at New College of Florida. The new administration wants to tear down this small tree preserve, home to Osprey and other wildlife, supposedly for a sports facility. Local resistance has been building to resist the "development" project at Bayfront Uplands Preserve. In our latest, Scott talks with local organizer Jinx Ashforth about the right wing take over of New College of Florida, and the fight over the Uplands Preserve. Bio//Jinx Ashforth (2001-2005) is the author/artist of New College's first graphic novel thesis, and is currently creating a new one on the effects of the Takeover on our unique community. Jinx also has been involved in the Save New College campaign and the Save Uplands campaign (@SaveUplands). --------------------------------------Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by MoodyLinks//+Save New College: https://savenewcollege.org/+IGD: The Fight for Trees (and Against Fascism) at New College Florida (https://bit.ly/3W879ln)Follow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠+Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠+ Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/ev5xKJer)Support the Green and Red Podcast//+Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast+Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠Our Networks//+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠+We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork+Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/)This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

  • Within the past four decades, we’ve seen the rise of neo-liberalism, or so-called "Free Trade," free trade agreements and various other treaties and agreements that reduce and eliminate barriers and regulation for capital to invest in different nation states. While there has been some resistance, capital and investments march on. Corporations and investors have created tools such as "international investment treaties (IITs)" to continue their profit-making ventures. These treaties result in litigation that can undermine, environmental, human rights and labor protections. This is particularly important as the world is gripped in a climate crisis and regulations on carbon emissions, human rights, and fossil fuel extraction are vital.

    In our latest we talk with the director of Columbia's Center on Sustainable Investment (@CCSI_Columbia) Lisa Sachs about IITs and the legal tools corporations use to settle disputes with national governments when regulation gets in the way.

    Lisa Sachs is the Director of the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment. She is a globally recognized expert in the ways that laws, policies and business practices shape global investment flows and affect sustainable development. She works with governments around the world, regional and international development organizations, financial institutions, companies, civil society organizations and academic centers to understand the inter-relations of investment flows and sustainable development, and to influence investment policies and practices to promote the SDGs and the Paris Agreement.

  • With the recent news about Noam Chomsky's condition and absence from public life, and the outpouring of respect and admiration from so many people who have learned so much from him (along with the typical haters), we got together to discuss what he's mean and what he's contributed to us on the Left. We discussed his contributions in the fields of linguistics and knowledge, and media analysis. Then we discussed his advocacy of free expression . . . he believed that we had to defend all rights to free speech, even if uttered by someone we disagree with. Next we talked about his important work in describing the way liberals really acted, especially w/ regard to their war in Vietnam. We also discussed one of the areas where his work has been most important, and overlapped w/ one of our favorite topics on Green & Red--the dangers to the left of embracing conspiracy theories and the "deep state," especially with regard to the JFK assassination. And finally we covered his ideas of "intellectual self-defense" and the importance of telling everyone the truth against the propaganda of people in power.-----------------------------Outro- Noam Chomsky on the legacy of JFK Links//+Green and Red’s Noam Chomsky playlist (https://bit.ly/3xaJWoX)Follow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠+Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠+ Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/w4Cgpe9G)Support the Green and Red Podcast//+Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast+Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠Our Networks//+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠+We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork+Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/)This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

  • Israel's slaughters in Palestine may be horrific and well-covered, but there's more going on in the region than that! Israel has also been acting aggressively throughout the region--especially in Lebanon and Iran.

  • In Tucson, Arizona, Cold War era war profiteer Hughes Aircraft polluted an aquifer with chemical waste from a manufacturing facility that poisoned the largely Mexican-American community and desert ecosystem living above.

  • Memorial Day was created to pay respect to soldiers who died in the war, but it quickly took on another purpose--to promote "patriotism" and American militarism and foreign interventions. Here we debunk the myths of "democracy" and "Humanitarian intervention" that are so prevalent in the political class and media.

    We offer an abridged history of American's foreign policy doctrines from the outset of independence to today. The U.S. was founded on principles of economic power with a global reach. Even when advising "isolationism" the reality was that the U.S. ruling class had a long-term blueprint for empire: the Monroe Doctrine, plans for an isthmian canal, designs on Asia, using industrial output as a program for global power, and then gaining economic/political hegemony with 2 world wars.

    Many veterans have been active in opposing American imperialism, such as VVAW, Vets for Peace and About Face, and their service should not be exploited for further wars based on myths and lies.

  • On May 24, 1990, a car bomb ripped through environmental and labor organizer Judi Bari's car nearly killing her and her comrade Darryl Cherney. Bari and Cherney were part of Earth First's Headwaters campaign and had fought long and hard to stop clear-cutting redwood forests in Northern California by ravenous timber companies. They were organizing a campaign that summer called "Redwood Summer" that had planned to do mass action against logging. The F.B.I. and the Oakland police immediately arrested Bari and Cherney as the culprits in their own bombing. Judi Bari passed away from cancer in 1997. In 2002, Bari (posthumously) and Cherney won a $4.4 million lawsuit against the F.B.I. and the Oakland PD for violating their civil rights. May 24 is now an official holiday in the city of Oakland. In our latest episode, we talk with Earth First! organizer Karen Pickett (@KP4redwoods), a close friend and comrade of Bari and Cherney, about Earth First!, the Northern California timber wars, Judi Bari's role as environmental and labor organizer, the bombing and the subsequent lawsuit. Bio//Karen Pickett has been a grassroots activist for over 40 years. She is a founder and Director of the Bay Area Coalition for Headwaters, Biocentric Media Inc. and other organizations. She has been part of Earth First! for decades.**NOTE: If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, please come out to the Judi Bari Day event at East 34th St. and Park Blvd. in Oakland at 11:30am on Friday, May 24th. ---------------------------------Outro- "The FBI Stole My Fiddle" by Judi Bari and Darryl CherneyLinks//+The Judi Bari Website: http://www.judibari.org/+Zinn Education Project: Judi Bari’s Car Bombed (https://bit.ly/3yDJ2RS)Follow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠+Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠+ Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/yYsmTEkd)Support the Green and Red Podcast//+Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

We also delve into the week in radical history talking about the Hardhat Riot, the murder of two students at Jackson State, and sabotage of the Maryland Draft Center by the Catonsville 9. We also talk Hillary Clinton's disdain for genocide protesting students, Biden's performative bulls**t about withholding weapons if Israel invades Rafah, and America's meddling in places other than the Middle East.

  • The climate crisis is an existential threat that has led to an unraveling of our environmental and social fabric. Our political institutions continue to fail us in dealing with this crisis. As the shocks get worse, we've seen more confrontational climate action emerge to push these institutions. This comes in the form of mass marches, civil disobedience, confrontational direct action and, even, sabotage. In our latest, Scott talks with Prof. Dana R. Fisher (@Fisher_DanaR) about her new book - "Saving Ourselves: From Climate Shock to Climate Action"- that examines the radical flank of the climate movement: its emergence and growth, its use of direct action, and how it might evolve as the climate crisis worsens. They discuss everything from performative actions like throwing soup on works of art to classic Civil Rights style civil disobedience to fighting pipelines in rural areas like North Dakota and Appalachia. And what the strategy is behind these. They also discuss the recent campus uprisings around the genocide in Gaza. Bio//Dana R.

  • In our latest episode, Scott and Bob discuss the repression on campuses against students protesting against U.S. support of the atrocities and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

    We discussed the way Joe Biden is acting like Richard Nixon did in 1970, when he called students "bums" and led to campus upheavals which culminated in the deaths of 4 students at Kent State. We also discussed the way many Democratic officials have been responsible for the violent attacks on nonviolent protestors despite their proclaimed respect for liberal ideals of free expression.

    And then Scott and Bob spoke about the responses in their communities--environmental groups and the universities, where liberals are often upset over the rhetoric of protests ("from the river to the sea" or "intifada") but say little about Israel's slaughters in Gaza.----------------Outro- "Fight the Power" by Public Enemy Follow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠+Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠+ Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/PcExWRe3)Support the Green and Red Podcast//+Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast+Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

  • Happy May Day Tender Comrades!

    Here is a repost of our May Day episode from 2021. In it, we talk about the history of May Day from pagan rituals to the Haymarket Affair to International Workers’ Day to Labor Day and Loyalty Day. And we discuss how the ruling class’s “war on the left” fits into the politics of May Day vs. Labor Day.

    Spend an hour of your International Workers’ Day hearing about the history of May Day. You won’t regret it.

  • In a free-wheeling discussion Scott and Bob and friend and frequent G&R guest Clayton Lust, a professor of history as several Houston-area community colleges, talked about the campus protests of the 1960s, especially at Columbia in 1968, their meaning, their consequences and their tactics. All of us have written and/or taught about U.S. radical protests and the 1960s.We then pivoted to a conversation about today's campus protests against the U.S.-sponsored and -subsidized slaughters in Gaza and the huge impact they've had in shifting public opinion and giving hope in a bleak time. We also talked about the importance of communicating the idea that this is a bipartisan genocide, with Democrats taking the lead, and how the Democrat embrace of cops in 2020 and their rejection at defunding or even reforming police has led to this moment because the police will attack anyone who stands in the way of the ruling class.-----------------------------Outro- "We Can Be Together" by Jefferson AirplaneFollow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠+Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠+ Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/PcExWRe3)Support the Green and Red Podcast//+Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast+Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

  • We talk with Prof. Michael Sierra-ArĂ©valo (@michaelsierraa) about the "war on cops" and how it has shaped police culture and violence. We discuss the creation of this culture of police survival over public safety. Where and how it's created. How police see themselves as holding the line against agents of chaos. The institution's perception of race, politics and media. And the influence of the right wing, both politicians and media eco-systems. Bio//Michael Sierra-ArĂ©valo (@michaelsierraa) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin. His research employs quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate police culture, behavior, and legitimacy. His first book is "The Danger Imperative: Violence, Death, and the Soul of Policing."----------------------------Outro//"Green and Red Blues" by Moody
