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!
