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.
