| 2021-09-05 | Alice Friedemann | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw1zSCXojrg&list=PLpXiw313OSyCd3Mw0dnF-bssq2M0mq14q | Alice Friedemann, the granddaughter of two scientists, is genetically predisposed to do extensive research and exhaustive reading. Much of this was accomplished as she read while walking 10 miles round-trip between home and office. She was a systems architect and engineer for over 25 years. She retired from Dilbert Land to devote more time to science writing on energy, ecology, climate change, whole grains, agriculture, infrastructure, pollution, and too many other topics to list (see her website).
The past few years she has come to see that fossil-fueled western civilization will likely collapse from dozens of factors. Especially oil, the master resource that makes all others possible. Especially in transportation since heavy-duty trucks, locomotives, and ships depend on diesel fuel. Manufacturing is also completely dependent on the high heat fossil fuels can generate to make cement, steel, microchips, glass, ceramics, bricks and other essential products. Today we talk about her new book Life After Fossil Fuels. |

| 2021-08-29 | Maria Polaris & Kris | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiCvoyjz_7c&list=PLpXiw313OSyCd3Mw0dnF-bssq2M0mq14q | Kris is a parent of an 18 year old desisted daughter. She got involved in the gender-identity fight 3 years ago when her daughter declared she was really a boy and declared a new name and pronouns. A life-long lefty, she had no idea what was really happening with transgenderism and gender-identity. Despite the fact that her child has desisted, she continues to work to provide information and resources, through Cardinal Support Network, for other parents who are suffering.
Maria Polaris is a mother of a transgender, sometimes non binary identifying runaway daughter who has partially transitioned and is viewing life only through a transgender lens. This event fueled her search to find out why this happened and where the influences originated. She has connected with many parents who have had the same experience at the hands of a local gender clinic, many are themselves doctors, psychologists and even lawyers. Together they searched for evidence that would help them support her and love her without necessarily agreeing as they wait for her brain to fully develop. They found nothing substantial, except for the Danish study that concluded post transition, the suicide rate increased by 19 times post transition. Maria has traveled to Baltimore to speak to the Catholic Church officials, to Washington D.C. to share her story with the hope of warning government officials, educators, and anyone who will listen that a medical catastrophe is taking place and it is imperative that these children and vulnerable adults be protected. Through www.parentsofrogdkids.com, Maria was introduced to Kris. Maria is a conservative who loves nature, connecting people and recruiting like-minded citizens who will tell their stories in an effort to get better long term, healthy outcomes for these kids. After she met Kris, together as mothers, they have become friends in a gender battle that will have many casualties. The website is set up to help parents like us get our children the help they need, recruiting therapists, doctors and lawyers who will defend these kids' right to healthy, sexually functioning bodies as adults. Cardinal Support Network is an Ohio-based parent and caregiver support network for those with loved ones who have been taken in by the gender identity juggernaut. We provide scientific, fact-based information about the medical harms of transition; we provide parent partners so that when you need help, you can call, email or meet up with someone else who understands what you're going through; and, we are working to provide support for detransitioners in the area. Additionally, we are working on legislation to help reverse the rule that disallows providing standard therapy for gender-confused young people. |

| 2021-08-01 | Ben Marshall | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgiQ0RKixik&list=PLpXiw313OSyCd3Mw0dnF-bssq2M0mq14q | Ben Marshall is a 'reluctant activist' and Chair of a community group called SOLVE - Supporting Our Loongana Valley Environment. In their remote Tasmanian mountain valley, they’re politically diverse, but pro-action on climate - though they find themselves in the unexpected position of fighting what appears on the surface to be a good thing, the renewables industry. They didn't expect this to happen when they first objected to a huge transmission line through their beautiful valley, but then found out the realities of politics, and of the corporatisation of the transition from fossil fuels. | SOLVE.png | ||||

More than 1,000 dogs have since qualified as "therapists", visiting hospitals, disabled centres, schools and elderly homes in cities across Asia.
In 1993, a visit to a “bear farm” in China defined Jill’s future. Exposing the plight of endangered Asiatic black bears cruelly farmed for bile extraction, Jill embarked on a journey to end the practice. In 1998, she founded Animals Asia, an organisation devoted to ending bear bile farming in China and Vietnam and bring about long-term change for animals by promoting compassion and respect. Today, Animals Asia has rescued over 600 bears, caring for them at its award-winning bear sanctuaries in China and Vietnam, and has signed a formal agreement with the Vietnam government to end bear bile farming by 2022. |

His parents have been biologists and park rangers that have lived and worked in the park for 3 decades. Following in the family footsteps, Nathan studied biology at Montana State University where he earned B. S. and M. S. degrees. The ecology of mountain goats in the Absaroka Mountains on Yellowstone's eastern edge was his research topic. Further adventure in wildlife studies took him among moose in Alaska, guanacos in Patagonia, and pine marten in Idaho. His trails have led home as often as afar, where Yellowstone's coyotes, bears, river otters and gray wolves became primary study subjects.
As a contributor to the historic gray wolf restoration project he has often been in the field tracking wolves. His research at the University of Alberta focused on the relationship between wolves and elk after wolf reintroduction. With his wife, Linda Thurston, Nathan owns his own wildlife touring business group, The Wild Side, LLC, which specializes in outfitting groups to view wolves, other wildlife, and all that the Yellowstone wilderness has to offer. A defining purpose, if one can be offered for any person, would be to champion a land ethic that places the highest value on our wildlife and their habitats, and in so doing, forever preserve and enjoy the places that have provided his life's inspiration. |

But after three English editions and translation into nine foreign languages, this study is now regarded as the “classic” work on the global drug traffic. His more recent cover on covert operations, A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation, from the Cold War to the War on Terror explores the agency’s half-century history of psychological torture. A film based in part on that book, “Taxi to the Darkside,” won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature in 2008.
His most recent book, In the Shadow of the American Century: The Rise and Decline of U.S. Global Power focuses on the key instruments in its exercise of this hegemony, including geopolitical dominion, control of subordinate states, covert operations, worldwide surveillance, torture, and military technology. The work concludes by analyzing China’s challenge and the complex of forces that will likely lead to an eclipse of U.S. hegemony by 2030. |

She has been at her post since February 1988. At that time she was told to raise $5m and "save the Koala." Since then, Deborah has focused her attention on mapping Koala habitat. If you cannot save a habitat, you will never save any species. The AKF takes no Government funding and has, over the years spoken more and more confidently about the plight of the Koala. The AKF scientifically estimates there are between 50,000 and 100,000 Koalas in the wild remaining. Deborah believes that the lower number is the accurate figure. Between 1890 and 1927, the AKF has found manifests for 8m koala skins which were sold on the New York and London fur market. Today we discuss the plight of the koalas. | deborah-tabart2.jpg | ||||

| 2017-01-08 | Jay Tiernan | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlm9wgtNAVM&list=PLpXiw313OSyCd3Mw0dnF-bssq2M0mq14q | Jay Tiernan became well known in the U.K. animal rights scene in April 1997, after only a few months of being involved in hunt sabotage and environmental activism. At a demonstration against a breeder of beagle dogs for vivisection, Jay climbed onto the roof of a building with one of those dogs (for which he later went to prison). After “Consort Beagle Kennels” closed down, he became heavily involved in a variety of animal liberation campaigns until summer 2000. When a fellow activist was nearly killed during a publicity stunt he’d helped organise, he retired from activism, but returned in the summer of 2012 to set up the campaign against the then-planned badger culls. As a spokesperson for the campaign, the bulk of his energy goes into working out creative ways to get into the mainstream media. The badger cull campaign has gone from a handful of people four years ago to now well over a hundred active people on any single night during the six week annual badger culls. | jay-tiernan.jpg | ||||

Finding The Netherlands’ first Vagrant Emperor dragonfly, an African visitor, focused his passion when he was 20. He has since spent over 1000 days surveying dragonflies all over Africa and has described 78 species as new (over 10% of those known in the continent). 60 species were described in one paper in 2015 to draw attention to the lack of support for taxonomy and natural history. He authored the highly successful Field Guide to the Dragonflies of Britain and Europe (2006), The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Eastern Africa: Handbook for all Odonata from Sudan to Zimbabwe (2014), and is an honorary research associate at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center (The Netherlands) and the University of Stellenbosch (South Africa).
He says, “For me, dragonflies and damselflies stand for our unconditional love of nature. They do not help to feed us like bees and fish do; they are not feared and persecuted like mosquitoes and snakes; nor are they studied as proxies of human psyche and society like ants and apes. Their beauty and sensitivity stand for the state and needs of nature before our own. We admire dragonflies purely for what they are.” |

She has been at her post since February 1988. At that time she was told to raise $5m and "save the Koala." Since then, Deborah has focused her attention on mapping Koala habitat. If you cannot save a habitat, you will never save any species. The AKF takes no Government funding and has, over the years spoken more and more confidently about the plight of the Koala. The AKF scientifically estimates there are between 50,000 and 100,000 Koalas in the wild remaining. Deborah believes that the lower number is the accurate figure. Between 1890 and 1927, the AKF has found manifests for 8m koala skins which were sold on the New York and London fur market. Today we discuss the plight of the koalas. | deborah-tabart.jpg | ||||

She has been an activist since she was a child helping her mother care for injured wildlife. She owned a chemical free landscaping business for almost two decades which emphasized removing lawns and restoring native plants. As an environmental consultant she assisted the Ho-Chunk Nation in efforts to design and implement a place based ecological immersion project on their land near Black River Falls with the intention of immersing young tribal members in nature while learning their language and culture. Recently, she assisted Ho-Chunk Tribal member William Greendeer in introducing the Rights of Nature into the Ho-Chunk constitution. She maintains Sacred Water Sacred Land about the sacredness of all things and also “Heart of the Ho-Chunk” with William Greendeer about Ho-Chunk culture and the environment. She is a professor of natural science at Viterbo University.
William Greendeer is an elder in the Ho-Chunk Nation whose territory recently spanned WI, MN, IL and IA. He is Deer Clan and member of the medicine lodge. His first 8 summers were spent in a lodge and he has a deep connection to the natural world. William experiences sacred connection with the natural world and offers prayer when harvesting a plant or animal. He is teaching how to live in good way on his land in southwest WI. He hopes to rejuvenate his old farm with native plants and also by protecting the beavers that make their home in his valley. His family’s land and many of his tribal members’ land have been affected by frack sand mining activities in addition to the damage caused by the cranberry growing industry in southwest WI. He introduced a rights of nature amendment at general counsel in September with 3/4 of the tribal members supporting it. He hopes having the rights of nature in tribal law will help the tribe protect their sacred land, water, and all our relations. |
