Green Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Zoom #136, May 8 2023
THE GREAT GREG PALAST TALKS ELECTIONS & NUKES
GREEP zoom #136 is devoted to the great investigative journalist GREG PALAST.
With his stunning revelations about mass partisan disenfranchisement in the Florida 2000 presidential fiasco, Greg god-fathered the modern election protection movement.
He played a key role in the reporting that came out of Ohio 2004, and too many additional “irregularities” that have surfaced since.
He has continued this incredibly important work most recently with his documentary film VIGILANTE, about Jim Crow election theft in current-day Georgia.
Greg also has a long history in reporting on atomic energy, and gives us a deep, knowledgeable presentation on the latest “Nuke Renaissance.”
There is no one on the American media scene with more to say about where we’re at than Greg Palast. Don’t miss this amazing show.

Ashton’s legendary RIP Medical Debt organization uses contributions to pay off overdue bills run up in hospitals and elsewhere, but bought by predatory collection agencies and then turned against ordinary citizens.
Begun at the Occupy Wall Street actions many years ago, Ashton has used thousands of private donations to liberate many many families from unsustainable financial burdens.
RIP Medical Debt was famously featured by John Oliver on his “Last Week Tonight” Show, in which Oliver donated Big Money to liberate many many families from their overdue payments.
Jerry is a captivating, personable presenter who gives us a full hour of breakthrough brilliance that has made a very real difference in many many lives. Don’t miss his wonderful presentation!

#134: OHIO & FLORIDA PLUNGE DEEP TO THE DARK SIDE, TAKING THE US WITH THEM
We start our Green Grassroots Emergency Election Protection zoom #134 with RACHEL COYLE’s truly astonishing report from the Ohio Heartland.
She starts with the “Education Destruction Act” poised to decimate learning throughout the state.
She then explains the gerrymandered legislature’s attempt to gut the referendum process while assaulting women’s ability to control their own bodies.
She follows with a horrifying account of the legislature’s defiance of the state Supreme Court in defense of the illegal gerrymandered maps that keep it in power.
MARY JANE BORDEN chimes in with a mind-boggling account of the struggle to legalize marijuana in Ohio, which has made remarkable progress cutting through the fascist fog.
WENDI LEDERMAN then explains the horrible official murder of the 27-year-old activist TORTUGUITA, who was shot dead—while seated, with his hands up—with 57 cop bullets in his body.
The fight over the 85-acre Cop City police center in a public forest in Atlanta continues to spiral down into tragic violence.
Meanwhile, the city of Fort Lauderdale is being overwhelmed with flooding, raw sewage and toxic pollution, threatening human and all other life.

Together, they forces of justice and sanity must prevail…or we go extinct.
PART TWO
GreeGree #134 Second Hour:
THE FIGHTS OVER NUCLEAR POWER & THE GLOBAL PLASTIC TSUNAMI CONTINUE TO ESCALATE
The MOTHERS FOR PEACE are among the nation’s greatest activists, and from them has come the wonderful LINDA SEELEY.
Linda updates us on the desperate struggle to shut the Diablo Canyon nuclear reactors before they blow up and contaminate all of California.
Indeed, because Diablo is upwind of most of North America it threatens the entire United States with deadly fallout.
The infuriating strong-arm tactics of Gavin Newsom have ignited a furious resistance that must prevail if humankind is to survive.
DR. NANCY NIPARKO follows with her powerful explanation of how plastics are utterly destroying our oceans and global eco-systems.
Nancy’s compelling presentation underscores the desperate need to replace plastic with stuff that can, in fact, bio-degrade.
MYLA RESON, JUSTIN LEBLANC, TATANKA BRICCA, RUTH STRAUSS, JEFFREY BARKDULL, DOROTHY REIK, PAUL NEWMAN. JOAN SEEMAN and other great activists hugely contribute to this monumental discuss.
JOIN US to save the Earth…and we’ll see you next week.

NORM STOCKWELL of Progressive.org then explains the aftermath of the progressive movement’s huge Supreme Court victory in Wisconsin, which will stretch deep into the 2024 presidential election.
We then hear from the great ANNA GYORGY about German’s monumental decision to shut down ALL its atomic reactors, which finally closed on April 15.
In tandem we hear about the world-changing ENERGIEWENDE, Germany’s incredibly rapid and effective shift toward a 100% green-powered energy supply in the world’s 4th-largest economy.
Anna is joined by SCOTT DENMAN and by LINDA PENCE, both legendary long-term safe energy activists with great things to say about this European dawn of Solartopia.

STEVE DONZIGER & HIS AMAZING, INCREDIBLY POWERFUL FIGHT FOR PLANETARY SURVIVAL & CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
We hear from the astounding STEVE DONZIGER about his now-legendary fight against Chevron’s destruction of the Ecuadorian rain forest.
Steve has endured unconscionable assaults from Chevron and a completely corrupted legal system.
His persistent resistance has made him a global legend. Join us to hear why.
We are then joined by DEEPA DRIVER with a powerful report from London on the latest developments in the fight for the freedom of JULIAN ASSANGE.
And we hear from VINNIE DE STEFANO on American support work for both Donziger and Assange.

Green Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Zoom #132, April 3, 2023
WISCONSIN BEFORE LIGHTENING STRIKES; ANTI-TRANS WARFARE
Our GREE-GREE #132 foreshadows the major victory in Wisconsin’s critical state Supreme Court race that is being widely ranked as “the most important election of 2023.”
We hear from ANDREA MILLER of the Center for Common Ground, NORM STOCKWELL of Progressive.org, and THOMAS NELSON of grassroots Wisconsin on the coming of what would be a huge victory for the Progressive movement.
We know as you’re listening to this that the left-leaning “Judge Janet” Protasiewicz won this crucial judgeship by a substantial margin. She beat a MAGA Republican.
So if you want to know how this happened, listen in to the powerful views of a critically important trio of organizer/activists who helped make this progressive victory happened.
We then turn to BRYNN TANNEHILL and her uniquely brilliant systemic presentation on the national assault against the rights and freedoms of trans Americans.
Among much more, Brynn tells us that “gun rights” stalwarts who NEVER want to limit gun ownership now want to make it illegal for trans citizens to own a gun.
[IN OUR SECOND HOUR, FOR NEXT WEEK:
PRESIDENT MICHELLE? A ROMERO ADMINISTRATION? LIVING EARTH MOVEMENT; MORE NUKE MADNESS
In our latest GREE-GREE gathering, we’re joined by legendary journalist/producer DAVID SALTMAN, presents the possibility of MICHELLE OBAMA running for President.
Though there are obvious doubts, Saltman reads a long passage from the former First Lady that would seem to indicate she’d be open to the idea should Joe Biden decline to re-run
Along the way we hear from LYNN FEINERMAN, JUSTIN LEBLANC and others.
TATANKA BRICCA lays out the Romero Institute’s on-going campaign to establish a full-blown government leadership apparatus, prepared to take and use power as the corporate Democrats and Trumpite Republicans fade away.
IGNACIO CASTUERA of the Living Earth Movement explains his organization’s powerful campaign to insure that we get to world peace.
The movement focuses in particularly on guaranteeing detente with China, thus avoiding a war between the world’s two biggest economies.
Finally the brilliant LINDA PENCE GUNTER of Beyond Nuclear confirms that Germany will, in fact, shut its last reactors around April 15.
Thus the world’s fourth-largest economy goes post-nuclear, with (hopefully) the fifth-largest (California) soon to follow.
Linda also fills us in on the uselessness of Silly Mythic Reactors, and the on-going dangers at Ukraine’s besieged Zaporigia.
We also hear about the use of Depleted Uranium (DU), armor-penetrating shells that spread lethal atomic radiation throughout the landscape.
Linda is joined by MYLA RESON who further explains the dangers of DU and atomic waste.
This wide-ranging excursion should not be missed. NO NUKES!!
Green Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Zoom #131, Mar. 27, 2023
XI-PUTIN & THE ASIAN CENTURY; WISCONSIN SUPREMES; DEMS DESTROY NEVADA; THE WAR VS. LGBTQ & THE DESANTIS DISASTER
Our GREEP #132 starts with the “deal of the century” as Xi & Putin lay the foundation for an end of the American Century and the dominance of the dollar.
As part of that excursion we visit “The Big Short” and other critical documents on the most recent fall of the American economy.
KFPA/Flashpoint’s DENNIS BERNSTEIN, LYNN HEIDIKOPER and others help us with the horrendous details.
From there we go to the all-important race for the deciding seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, where grassroots organizing will make all the difference.
JOHN STEINER fills us in with critical details.
We also hear from JUDITH WHITMER, recently purged as chair of the Nevada Democratic Party for being too progressive & grassroots. Where have we heard that before?
One place is New York, where JULIE WIENER and RON LEONARD explain how the utterly feeble Democrats blew it for the entire US House.
BRYANN TANNEHILL fills us in on the national war against LGBTQ citizens. WENDI LEDERMAN gives us the ugly details from DeSantis’s Florida, where Disney (!!!) is fighting back.
This incredibly powerful gathering proceeds for another 90 minutes, so join us at http://www.electionprotection2024.org.

GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY IN OHIO!!! WI SUPREMES…BIZ 4 DEMOCRACY….GREEN AMENDMENTS
On our GREEGREE #129 we celebrate a big hit of justice in Ohio as the infamous House Speaker Larry Householder is found guilty of taking a $61 million bribe to give the nuclear industry a $1 billion bailout.
Householder and an associate face up to 20 years in a VERY rare instance of a corrupt official actually being convicted of selling the government to a corporation—and an atomic one at that.
We briefly discuss the crucial Supreme Court race in Wisconsin, where the Democratic party as usual appears fast asleep.
FRANK KNAPP of Businesses for Democracy tells us how his sustainable cohorts are fight for the right to vote and other basics of a free society.
Then WENDI LEDERMAN introduces us to MAYA VAN ROSSUM whose Green Amendment proposes the revolutionary strategy of appending to state constitutions the core right to a clean environment.
Maya’s pathbreaking work aims to force state governments to acknowledge—UNDER THE LAW—the ability of human beings to protect their survival on a planet being brutally assaulted by corporate greed.
Maya’s strategy and successes are an inspiration and a guidepost to those working for environmental justice and global sustainability.
Green Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Zoom #128, Mar. 6, 2023
ASSANGE FILM, GA ASSAULTS ON DEMOCRACY, WI SUPREME SHOWDOWN
In GREEGREE #128, VINNIE DESTEPHANO fills us in on the on-going tour of “Ithaka,” the stirring documentary about Julian Assange, now touring the US.
We then hear from RAY MCCLENDON about the escalated attempts to crush democracy in Georgia.
Finally we do a deep dive on the critical Wisconsin Supreme Court race that could redefine national politics.
GREG LEWIS of Souls to the polls joins legendary journalists RUTH CONIFF and NORM STOCKWELL in dissecting the realities of what may be the most important election of 2023.
HOWIE HAWKINS of the Green Party also joins the discussion.
With control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court comes critical decisions on women’s rights, voting rights, gerrymandering and much more.
As Wisconsin is certain to prove critical in the 2024 election, this state Supreme Court race could decide much of the American future.
Green Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Zoom #127, Feb. 27 , 2023
WISCONSIN SUPREME VOTE & 2024 GRASSROOTS REFERENDA
GREEGREE #127 starts with the great ANDREA MILLER of the Center for Common Ground as she explains her legendary organization’s grassroots work in the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
Because the Court in WI is evenly divided (3-3) between progressives v. conservatives, this oddly timed (April 4) election will have huge impact.
As Andrea explains, a woman’s right to choose is on the line, as is redistricting, voter registration and much more in a state that could well decide the 2024 presidential campaign.
We hear further from KARLA SAND in Minnesota, who gives important detail on the unexpected victory of KEITH ELLISION for the AG office in Minnesota.
DR. RUTH STRAUSS asks Andrea about the Virginia election that has now sent the state’s first woman of color to the US Congress.
DOROTHY REIK and CYNTHIA PAPERMASTER also add to our discussion, in particular about the potential US Senate candidacy of Rep. Barbara Lee, the only Congressperson to vote again the Afghan War.
WENDI LEDERMAN then presents a crucial overview of the use of the state-wide referendum in protection critical rights like abortion, legal pot, medicaid expansion, democracy-based districts and more.
GEORGE RIPLEY tells us of the Ballot Initiate Strategy Center formerly affiliated with the great Senator Mike Gravel.
This discussion of grassroots referenda will be critical to our work all the way through the 2024 nation election.

NY VOTING LAWS, BRIBERY & CHEMICAL NIGHTMARES IN OHIO, OUR REVOLUTION, PERU, E-CARS
Our Jam-packed GREEGREE #126 starts with NY’s JULIE WIENER reporting from the NY legislature on hackable voting machines.
Ohio’s RACHEL COYLE tells us about the astounding trial in Columbus about the $61 million a nuclear utility slipped to the speaker of the Ohio House to get a $1 billion bailout for two atomic reactors.
The question, says Rachel, is whether in the world of Citizen’s United, it is perfectly legal to buy (or rent) a state legislature.
“You couldn’t write a movie better than this,” she says. It’s a trial to legalize bribery, with major national repercussions.
PACO FABIAN then tells us about the successful and impactful progressive campaigning of OUR REVOLUTION.
We merge in the possibility of using referenda to help get out the grassroots vote, particularly on the issues of Choice, Gerrymandering, Marijuana and Expanding Medicaid.
Our Revolution also focuses on raising the minimum wage, as was tried in California, demanding clearer messaging.
LORENZO CANIZARES gives us the news from Peru, where a Revolution is definitely not being televised.
From LINDA GUNTER of Beyond Nuclear tells us about the threat of earthquakes to atomic reactors in Turkey and Greece, not to mention Ukraine and California.
From STEVE CARUSO and others we hear the horrible news about the 50-care derailment now poising much of the Ohio River Valley.
BEN EICHERT, MYLA RESON, TATANKA BRICCA and others update us on the Energy War in California, now raging over the expiring licenses at Diablo Canyon.
Next week we are off for President’s Day, but will be back February 27 with a new link. We will be joined then by the great RAY MCGOVERN.
NO NUKES!!!

THE FEDS HAVE ATTACKED INDEPENDENT CAMPAIGNS; THE RABBI CELEBRATES THE EARTH
At GREEGREE #125 Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party’s 2016 Presidential candidate, schools us in how the Federal Elections Commission protects America’s duopoly.
Stein is being PERSONALLY sued by the FEC for an independent campaign dating to seven years ago. It’s an astounding story of fascism in action with serious implications for grassroots campaigns going forward.
RAY MCCLENDON of the Georgia NAACP and co-convenor JOEL SEGAL confirm the need to transform how we connect with grassroots donors and volunteers to challenge the duopoly’s unyielding power.
“We need publicly financed elections, period,” says Segal.
With Stein’s terrible experience as background, the FEC must be changed to a non-partisan operation. “It’s all about the oligarchy,” says Stein.
TATANKA BRICCA tells us about Exxon now pouring trillions of dollars into Swiss “non-profits” to hide their money while promoting fossil/nuclear fuels which destroy the Earth.
We then hear from CAROLINA AMPUDIA about the fight for progressive policies within the Florida Democratic Party.
WENDI LEDERMAN tells us about the fight over privatization of water in the Sunshine State.
LORENZO CANIZARES updates us on the situation in Peru.
LINDA SEELEY from the San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace tells us of the horrendous licensing scams being pulled at the Diablo Canyon atomic reactors.
RABBI ART WASKOW then takes us into a brilliant, fascinating tour of the destruction of Atlanta’s forest land along with the horrific murder of a young eco-activist with no less than 13 bullets.
Art is a long-standing activist based in Philadelphia who has joined radical Judaism with ecological protection. This broadcast is happening on the Jewish holiday, “the New Year of Trees…a fount of pleasure, of joy…” and much more.
His lifelong career has moved thousands of activists around the world, both within and outside the Jewish community, working for peace, social justice, protection of the Earth, an end to racism and anti-semitism and much more.
Art’s visit is punctuated with great comments by RON LEONARD, MYLA RESON and many more.
CATHY COWAN BECKER finally fills us in on the corrupt, anti-planet insanity from the lobotomized, fully bribed Ohio Legislature.
This is a fantastic, uniquely wonderful gathering. Don’t miss it!!!
Green Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Zoom #124, Jan. 30 , 2023
FOOTBALL MADNESS, BALLOT BREAKTHROUGHS IN ARIZONA, FASCISM IN FLORIDA…
We start GREEGREE #124 with the National Football League’s debacle as the SF 49ers lost FOUR (4) quarterbacks to injury, turning its 1/29 playoff game into an unwatchable disaster. TATANKA BRICCA, JOHN STEINER, DENNIS BERNSTEIN, ELISSA MATROSS, MARY STONEWALL AND DOROTHY REIK all pile on with their comments.
We then go to JOHN BRAKEY who updates us on extremely important pro-democracy legislation now brewing in Arizona.
Reports from Florida are less optimistic, as WENDI LEDERMAN, CAROLINA AMPUDIA and JOE BONASIA update us on the march of DeSantis through the Sunshine State.
PEASANT PROSECUTION IN PERU, NUKE MADNESS IN MI/CA/OH and GREAT NEW BREAKTHROUGHS IN RENEWABLES
In our second hour, we hear from LORENZO CANIZARES reporting on the horrifying fascist murders going on in Peru.
KEVIN KAMPS of Beyond Nuclear reports on the corrupt licensing reversals being perpetrated by the nuclear industry at Palisades, Michigan and Diablo Canyon, California.
Kevin’s clear message is that even though some at the NRC want the Commission to obey its own rules, the expectation is high that they’ll overrule them and let both Palisades and Diablo operate without either licenses or insurance.
Kevin further warns us about the insanity of complications at the 15 reactors in Ukraine as war rages around the possibility of building new reactors there.
STEVE CARUSO touches on the insane $61 million bribe used to buy the Ohio Legislature for a $1 billion bailout for decrepit nuke reactors.
RON LEONARD fills us in on the exciting news of major breakthroughs in renewable energy.
The hits just keep on coming….SEE YOU NEXT WEEK FOR THE AMAZING GREEN RABBI ARTHUR WASKOW….

Part 1: DAVID CROSBY, LEONARD PELTIER, THE ALLIANCE 4 GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY, DEATH IN ATLANTA, UPRISING IN PERU
We start our 123d GreeGree zoom with a heartfelt nod to the great DAVID CROSBY, whose brilliant music still warms the hearts of multiple generations.
David was a powerful No Nukes activist whose work to shut Diablo Canyon has been powerful and important. Thank You, David.
We then speak with TATANKA BRICCA at length about the on-going refusal of Joe Biden (preceded by Bill Clinton and Barack Obama) to free Leonard Peltier, or at least to give him a new trial.
We get great questions from JUSTIN LEBLANC, LYNNE FEINERMAN, MIMI SPREADBURY, MIKE HERSH, WENDI LEDERMAN, MARY BUTLER-STONEWALL, and more.
DENNIS BERNSTEIN, legendary host of KPFA’s Flashpoints show, fills us in on the Atlanta killing of the powerful young environmental activist Manuel Esteban Paez Terán.
DOROTHY REIK helps us mourn this young man’s passing and re-dedicate ourselves to protecting our Earth.
In response to a question from JEFFREY BARKDUL, the esteemed labor leader LORENZO CANIZARES then tells of the great pro-democracy uprising in Peru.
As Lorenzo says, the fight in Peru could push a domino that will help bring democracy to all of Latin America.
Don’t miss this discussion!!!
Part 2: ALLIANCE 4 GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY & GETTING PAST LITHIUM 4 BETTER BATTERIES
We hear from the great JOHN BRAKEY on the latest struggles for real democracy in Arizona & taking it national.
CAMILLA REES comes on to talk about that struggle, and to highlight her breakthrough work on 5G vs. the horrendous threats posed by universal wireless telecommunications.
Camilla then introduces TIMOTHY SCHOECHLE, who talk about the utility-sponsored debacle of “smart meters,” net metering and their utter collective failure.
Tim also talks about micro-grids and alternatives to centralized energy generation.
And about the rapid transition from lithium/cobalt
RON LEONARD, MARK ROEST and MARY BUTLER-STONEWALL chime in on solar in California along with JUSTIN LEBLANC and MIMI SPREADBURY.
Distributed energy from 1.5 million solar roofs (some with batteries) saved the CA grid twice in 100-degree temperatures. All this is here, says Ron Leonard. Let’s just DO IT.
More on this next week….and deep into the grassroots democracy future.

FREE ASSANGE & PELTIER
Part 1:
PAPER BALLOTS, JULIAN ASSANGE & THE GREAT CLIFF ARNEBECK
In Green Grassroots Election Protection zoom #122 we pay tribute to pioneer election protection mainstay CLIFF ARNEBECK, who has just passed..
This heroic Ohio attorney joined with BOB FITRAKIS, CLINT CURTIS, JULIE WIENER & others who demanded an end to the 2004 electoral fraud that wrongly gave GEORGE W. BUSH a 2d term.
Clint gives us a tour of the paper ballot issue and questions the use of computerized ballot images to count the vote.
We then hear from DEEPA DRIVER and VINCENT DeSTEFANO about the situation with JULIAN ASSANGE.
Deepa delivers a brilliant talk on the absolute need for protected journalism and a public funnel for critical documents.
She is briefly joined by TATANKA BRICCA who promises to tell us in a later session about LEONARD PELTIER.
We’re further joined by Vince DeStefano, who explains the possibility that Australia’s change of government may open a door for Julian’s release.
We hope it comes next week, as we adjourn for MLK DAY, returning January 23. No Nukes!!

We then hear from LINDA SEELEY about the madness, illegalities & extreme dangers at the DIABLO CANYON nuke reactors, which are surrounded by earthquake faults, threatening all of California.
Solar expert ROBERT FREEHLING follows with an astounding assessment of the fantastic prospects for renewables in CA & elsewhere….if only we could shut those damn atomic reactors.
Robert is a genuine genius &, along with all the others on this call, uniquely worth hearing.
No Nukes everybody….
