Wounded Knee, Palestine, Jordan Neely, Trans folx banned from the army, #metoo y Un Violador en Tu Camino, and - Palestine. The freedom-fighters always believed.
How could the many lives sacrificed in resistance not be enough to reveal to all of us - the big life that we are all a part of, the Earth? Are the liar politicians & racist cops & the fossil fuel billionaires still in power? The Earth has the power because our communities are strong with love. Do we see the Earth beckoning to us in the distance like a tourist trap? The Earth is here with us, but with all the fire and flood, our love gets lost in the fear. The Earth is everywhere, evolving her justice. Earthalujah! -
Something is broken in the relationship between Hurricane Helene and us humans. It's a communication thing. Something is silenced between the Los Angeles fires and you and me. How could we not get the message?
How could we not see? Background: The Earth is a medium. They are everywhere all the time. (The Earth is non-binary) .... their communicating vibrates through our bodies, like strong singing in the air & water & soil — it’s unconditional everywhere all-the-time. The Earth stops the disaster. Then the Earth waits. Will we blow it again? The Earth keeps waiting for us, making laughing music in the trees. The Earth waits in Altadena & Cherokee & Palisades & Mars Hill & Eaton….

This week on Earth Riot Radio, Savitri D guest hosts and leads us through the divine ignition of fire in the cosmos to its modern infernos fueled by greedy executives directing fossil fuel corporations. We confront the flames that shape, sustain, and threaten life.
Fire is the sacred, untamed force that births civilizations and scorches fragile life on Earth. Guest host Savitri D speaks about humanity's relationship with combustion—how it lifted us from the caves to community and blazes across modernity in the age of climate crisis. Burn the fossil fuels of destruction; ignite the revolution of love and renewal! -
How Do We Feel? Immersed In Worldwide Confusion? None of our activism is working. The hottest 19 months in the last 100,000 years are the last 19 months. How do we talk to the only activist about what to do?
We have taken a giant step into the Sixth Extinction. All the national pledges for controlling carbon emissions have failed. Our international climate conferences last year, biodiversity in Colombia, reparations in Azerbaijan, plastics in Korea - were ambushed by corporate saboteurs, marketers and lawyers... And we can't stop our fossil fuel Consumerism! We need to drive the screens out of our brains! Earthalujah! -
2024. What the Hell happened? This was the year that rushed up at us like a freak storm. This year, all the eco-systems were fully committed to the Sixth Extinction, and so are we.
2025. We awake from a deep sleep and change completely. Our bodies are ecosystems, too, knowing the Earth. This is a wild party we can’t refuse. Our clothes are tearing, and the wind is peeling away our walls. We searched, but we found that our logical thinking was gone. We must find our love. Make the Earth’s storm more wild? Nothing can change without our love.

Are you unable to listen to looping Mariah Carey and watch people drag dying trees to their living rooms while the bombs fall on families? Christmas is tawdry and reprehensible.
There are live trees in our neighborhood within walking distance. They are the monarchs of an only partially harmed ecosystem, but the natural world is our path to freedom from violent fundamentalism and its religious holidays. It's tough this year with the take-over of our government by hard-right apocalyptic criminal Xtian freaks. The wilderness whistles and moans with power they cannot imagine - now THAT is the birth worth celebrating! A Rewilded Christ! -
It is the time to dream, to arrange for protective custody of our souls. The violence against the
human and the more-than-human is declared and already in evidence. The species vanish
into extinction as the Earth sweeps through the forests and swamps and deserts with wildfire
and flood, and the message to us is that we join her in an ultimate freedom. Like Captain Paul
Watson and the Whales. -
"Revolution makes the Revolutionary." That is a quote in this week's show. The Sixth Evolution will lift nationhood from us. Read me my rights. The tidal wave of Evolution throws us against the Empire State. Oh we ride toxins to the top of the wind. Crouch in a house-fire, waiting for a climate criminal to get into his Mercedes. We are living shock as a way of life. Like doing your yoga during a car accident.

A healthy whale is a big profit-center just swimming out there for the taking. The sea has very little enforceable law. It’s all very watery. The Japanese whaling industry wants one of the great earth-defending heroes of our time to go to prison for “throwing a stink-bomb” at a Japanese citizen on one of their massive death ship/factories. The murdered whale is conveyor-belted up into the hold of the ship and the products from the whales body are spit out the other side as consumable items. This is an old COLONIAL HELL and can’t happen to a defender of life of the stature of Captain Paul Watson’s. We believe that ultimately, the immorality will prove a harpoon-dulling shield for these gangesters.

Is any resistance to our carbon-based life style gonna happen? For years now screaming doomsayers have predicted these drowning and burning cities, the starvation and drought and disease. Is the Sixth Extinction underway? This week, with music from Common and the Fiery Eagles of Justice and The Stop Shopping Choir and lots of bullfrogs…. We ask: Can We be Strange Enough To Change Enough?
-
Trump is trying to build a wall. The Earth eats walls. Trump puts fear in dreams. The Earth puts love in dreams. The Earth puts love in dreams to keep out the fear. The Earth is what people are made of, the materials of the Earth and the electricity in a thought and a beating heart and --- We are agents of the Earth. The Earth is life making life and we are living the lives that the Earth loves.
-
The Earth is everywhere all the time, it's you and me and the ideas, pixels and bad breath that connect us. The Earth is in charge and what they (the Earth is non-binary, we believe in the Church of Stop Shopping) - what they are working hard at just now is something called the Sixth Extinction. In the Earth Riot Radio world this is what has replaced the nation state, religion and military. It is deep, extreme Evolution. Oh Earthalujah! Spare us! Give us a strange strength we have never known! And may we laugh till we die!

The only way back to radical change is
Through justice for all people, and
Justice for all living things.
One of those living things is
all of life put together, the planet Earth.
The only way back to any life at all is
Loving the Earth! -
Every show rocked with pandemonium at the end. Then people wouldn't leave. Our 12 singers
and musicians joined an audience that became a party that became a town hall meeting.
They stayed to talk and listen with such conviction that they impacted the content of the
next performance. (We had 3 performances in two days in London.) The idea that the
Earth is alive, communicating with us; that we are entering a new era of Earth activism; that
the Earth is the leading activist and that we should wait for the signs. Standard "Earth Riot
Radio preaching" yes, but still, this intensity surprised us. People are looking for radical
change in how they share life with this living Earth. Earthalujah! -
We don't know what it will take to stop the climate catastrophe. We haven't found it yet. Let's look everywhere for a way to stop this great machine; there must be a weak link there somewhere. One approach: Pull out and re-direct some part of the machine that they assume can never disobey, like a highway cone, like you and me...

Today's Earth Riot is for you activists. Keep talking to the Earth as you risk arrest, crossing the property-line, of a criminal organization like Chevron. You are both talking to yourself, because you are the Earth, and you are talking to the Earth outside of you. But don't let the Earth be inside you only, you'll lose your place
in the world. And don't let the Earth be outside you only, because then you are a tourist. Let the Earth be inside and outside, and the only analogy that really works is the inside/outside relationship of a lover. -
Earth must flood us all and downpour you and I into the valley below when we have built up a false border with our fear. Defeat the religions, militaries, nation states and racial hatred... Borders need to be washed away now, and fear made useless. In this "flying" episode from June of 2023 we flow the borders away with flood and flight. This is the project of love that the Earth is calling for, and the Earth couldn't be clearer as the hurricanes keep coming and all we have to offer is war.

Every Human and More than Human has a song to sing and we have a variety of singers this week, from Nigeria to LA to NYC to Ecuador to South Africa to a swelling wave of Snow Geese... There is an unmistakable swing in institutions from Peace to Violence - you see it in religions, corporations, nation-states. Official fear everywhere. But - the Earth is alive with living beings singing and deep in the melody and beat there is a shout of Peace-a-lujah!
-
The “repetition” of the song’s “melody-tone tempo,” she explains, provides a shared sonic “meeting place” and “stage” where our emotions can temporarily liberate individual identities. What Savitri D calls the “transformational potential” of singing with other people and (we would add), singing with the songs that radiate from the forest at night, a coral reef, an alpine meadow... Your favorite eco-system has a symphony of songs. Sing along and have your action.

In this week's "Earth Riot" we bring in Estonia, where song-power is demonstrated by Estonia's resistance to Stalinism and Nazism with huge concerts starring the whole country! and - Chile, resisting the fascist Pinochet and his killers with the songs of Victor Jara and the womens' chanting dance: "The Rapist in Your Path". From our own continent we have Sam Cooke believing that "A Change is Gonna Come" and Ojibwai drummers up in their spirit, as your hosts Savitri D and Reverend Billy hold forth with the Earth's soundtrack. Earthalujah!
