Only The Earth Can Stop The United States

The devilish "greatness" of our government, guided by profiteering and the very rich’s expanding circles of murderers…

…will be culled by a giant gardener pulling a noxious weed, as the rise of the Earth against the fossil fuel toxins takes over the planet. I’m not just talking about the fire and flood and drought and sea-rise, which now threatens us, but also the power of life and love and evolution, the endless variety of new life running, flying, swimming, wriggling into being. The thousands of new-to-our-scientsts species that were discovered in 2025 is reviewed by Savitri D in the “News from the Natural World” in this week’s Earth Riot Radio.  Listen in and you will be convinced that new life is vigorously alive.

We celebrate the New Year with a special live performance, in it's entirety. Reverend Billy & The StopShopping Choir get to the heart of the matter.  Start to finish, up and down, this is the message. We are the Earth and whatever it is you do, make the earth part of your work. 

Love is a profit center.  Love is a Hollywood slang word.  Love is claimed by religions, which teach investment bankers to wage wars.Love is a song that we all sing while knowing that there is a responsibility that we are taking on with the use of Love, and so we walk away from our meaningful time with Love, because taken seriously we often attract Indifference, Disease and Hate.  Love would have to be something that we all did at once. It's possible. It's absolutely necessary. It's probably uncomfortable and often fatal.  I love you.

Modern science, the war machine, and the whole tradition of the USA conquering the West is based on the shared belief that we control the Earth's forces. We will save ourselves and the life around us with a very basic - maybe even disorienting and painful - change in what we believe about the Earth. We are a living being inside a larger living being called the Earth. Now that is real.--

Honey, when did humanity become just ridiculous? When did that happen? This morning? It happened fast and very recently.

The machines are humouring us. The machines are eating our children. The machines are feeling lonely today. The machines are finding new investments in Crypto, AI and ICE. The machines have lost control of their bowels but they love waste. The machines are programmed to search for love and bring it back to the market. And if we refuse?

They call 70% of our body - dark matter and dark energy. The experts talk about this part of us the way they talk about outer space.

They resent the fact that the tiny particles that make up most of what we are - cannot be measured or photographed. It doesn't register in their sensitive devices. The mysterious particles do not reflect light. So... don't let some hateful person call you names. You are protected by the natural world of your body. Let's call it the "Fabulous Unknown."

It's ordinary people like you and me solving the little puzzles of everyday life that will obliterate the Google babies.

The robots will give us blow-jobs, the billionaires will pound us with advertising, the lush forests will break the pavement and crush the concrete, and we will emerge and bamboozle the AI robots because the complexity of the Earth is epic, vast, invisibly tiny, unsolvable, orgasmic, comforting. We emerge from the Fabulous Unknown that is there before birth and is there after death, the unknown in a flower's electric airway... the hard rock full of one-celled dancers... The Earth says, "AI, YOU CAN'T TOUCH THIS.

Mad Men told the Nature Conservancy et al to brand themselves a "Movement" - back in the 70's when those soon-to-be-billionaire orgs got their meal ticket from the Clean Air Clean Water acts and the EPA.

Here's the catch. Real social movements have music. Sun Ra and Neil Young, Erykah Badhu and Bjork and Brian Eno and Yoko Ono - made their own way to the Earth and back to our ear. Now the complete and utter emergency we are experiencing has got us turning to the Earth itself for the music. And we're hearing symphonies from the plants and animals, rocks and clouds. Radical tunes are rising like Amazonia natives invading COP 30. The whole Earth is singing. Like real social movements, the breath of our Earth activism will be music.

The father and mother of our country is Harriet Tubman. The teacher of our country is Edward Said and his neighbor Frida Kahlo and her neighbor James Baldwin.

The father and mother of our country is the Earth and they were deported by agents of the monoculture, helplessly misguided men in masks who tear us apart. The father and mother of our country immediately begin healing the children ziptied in the hallways…. the ancestors rush in to guard us against plastic pixel nightmares. We remember that the Earth is our government, our culture, our economy…. Suddenly, we know power.

Eco-systems are running and flying for thousands of miles, all life is a foreign stranger to all other life…. what’s happening?

The sorrowing in Jamaica, Alice Coltrane's saving grace, First Nations singing to the Earth, Phoenix Fuller Ford's voice and wisdom, Savitri D's News from the Natural World, communities of life climbing up mountains to cool down, families of lizards, sharks, wolves, bacteria, mushrooms, escaping from hot homes, looking for higher ground that is too hot too... Still we sing Earthalujah!
