Fire Talk

A family takes some very unusual steps to help their son in this documentary from filmmaker Michel Orion Scott, Rupert Isaacson and Kristen Neff first met when they were both traveling through India; Rupert was an activist representing the rights of indigenous peoples in the Third World, while Kristen was a college professor with a degree in psychology. While Rupert and Kristen expected that their nomadic life might change when they married and had a child, they weren't quite prepared for what happened when their son, Rowan Isaacson, was diagnosed with autism. Rowan was given to long periods of sullen withdrawal and sudden bursts of rage that no form of therapy seemed to help, and by the time he was five his parents were running out of ideas when they discovered the boy had a close bond with animals. Rupert discovered a band of shamans in Mongolia who claimed to be able to heal autism, and so he joined Rowan and Kristen for a journey in which they would travel across the country on horseback to meet the holy men who might be able to help the child.

Residential School Settlements Linked to Funding Cuts to Aboriginal Organizations

Welcome Frank Busch to the show. He has been a previous guest to discuss the Pros and Cons of the Residential School Settlement since he works directly with the survivors in the settlement process. We are going to discuss the sweeping program cuts and how it is may be connected to the Residential School settlements. While this is just a theory that we are bringing up for discussion it is worth taking a serious look at the issue.

The Canadian Indian residential school system was intended to assimilate the children of the Aboriginal peoples in Canada into European-Canadian society. 

Frank Busch is a university educated Aboriginal businessperson/entrepreneur. He hails from a remote First Nation in Northern Manitoba. He is a practitioner of the Traditional Aboriginal Spirituality. He currently works for Alghoul and Associates Law Firm as a Senior Manager in the Residential School Settlement Litigation. In this post and in his previous occupations, he has travelled to 56 of the 62 First Nations in Manitoba. Nationwide, he has visited approximately 200 First Nations and Metis communities.

We will be exploring the effects of repeated deployments that stress soldiers and escalate the likelihood of psychological injuries that can last for a lifetime. There is a small, but rapidly growing, body of evidence suggesting that the same is true of their children.  The Associated Press reported that soldiers are not the only ones experiencing mental anguish. America's military kids are in crisis, presenting acute, debilitating symptoms of deployment-related stress, virtual mirrors of their parents who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We want to also explore the effects on the Spouse mental health during these extended deployments. What are the families really dealing with and are there any stigma’s keeping them from seeking the help they need? What are some of the challenges when the soldier does return home and is showing signs of PTSD?

Learning ACE is the first step in becoming a Wingman. ACE is a simple, yet highly effective method of helping someone who is dealing with thoughts of suicide.  ACE stands for Ask, Care and escort.

Welcome David G. McAfee to the show. He is a student of religion, a journalist, and author of "Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings," which is now available on Amazon.

 

From Book Description on Amazon:

"Not only do I believe that it is possible to maintain moral standards without the crutch of religion but I would argue that it is the only way to achieve true goodness." Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings compiles popular and lesser-known arguments against the principles established by the Christian canon. Using a phenomenological approach to build his case based on in-depth study at the University of California, Santa Barbara McAfee analyzes the Hebrew Scriptures and New Testament doctrine to build a logical and reasonable case against their validity. From contradictions between lived and portrayed religions to factual errors within the texts themselves, no stone is left unturned in this fully updated and expanded refutation of Christianity.

Be sure to watch for his next book, "Mom, Dad, I'm an Atheist: The Guide to Coming Out as a Non-Believer." It's set for a mid-October release.

The American Humanist Association has stood as the voice of humanism in the United States for over 70 years. They strive to bring about a progressive society where being good without gods is an accepted way to live life. They are accomplishing this through our defense of civil liberties and secular governance, by their outreach to the growing number of people without traditional religious faith, and through a continued refinement and advancement of the humanist worldview

Please welcome 70 year old, Vicki Ryder to the show. She is one of the Renegades Raging Grannies who writes and performs many songs on political and social issues.

The Renegade Raging Grannies let Todd Akin know what they think of his Neanderthal concepts about how women's bodies work. See full lyrics at www.raginggrannies.net. Videography by Douglas H. Ryder.

Here is sample of the song: a Author: Vicki Ryder Tune: "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah"

“Legitimate rape” is great birth control.

So says Todd Akin, and he oughta know.

If we are raped we can rest unafraid,

‘Cause we can’t get pregnant if forcibly laid.

Our female bodies are clever that way,

We only get pregnant when we say “okay.”

Doctors have told him, so it must be so,

The stork only comes if we don’t say “No!”

We will be discussing the Pros and Cons of the Residential School Settlement with someone who has worked on many cases.

The Canadian Indian residential school system was intended to assimilate the children of the Aboriginal peoples of Canada into European-Canadian society. The purpose of the schools, which separated children from their families, has also been described as cultural genocide or "killing the Indian in the child."
