Craig Bardo fills in for Harvey as we discuss a peace proposal from China/Russia?  Who knew?  Alice Slater fills us in.   Does Israel have the right to exist?  Matthew Cooke weighs in.  Then we ask does the US have a right to exist?  Then trump's fight with the POPE, so if you are a Christian should you be thinking of Conscientious Objection?  Looks like the Pope thinks so.  We share the GI rights hotline again.  Then we talk No Kings, AIPAC, are the democrats going to mess this up again?  We finish with Buffy Saint Marie.

Two Veterans join us to talk about their experiences and what led them to end their service.  Friend of the show Hani Nofal and his friend Taylor, who did not want to share his last name until he successfully separated.  Taylor talks about his service, the good part about the military, but also the US policy, which eventually became too much.  Hani rejoins us to discuss his efforts nationally and locally to call attention to our US and Tennessee policies that challenge the Constitution,  Human Rights,  Rules of war, and common sense.  They both talk about life as a sailor today in this unnecessary war zone, the problems with NO Kings, and what is going on with the Gerald Ford.

This show is SO important. We share information about Conscientious Objection Status, how to get it and who is there to help you get it. We borrowed this important and timely show from Margaret Flowers of the Clearing the Fog Podcast. Here she interviews Mike Prysner, Executive Director of the Center on Conscience and War on their efforts to help anyone research and pursue CO status. This is after she interviews James Branum of the Military Law Task Force on the challenges and strategies of refusing illegal orders.

Craig Bardo friend of the show joins us to discuss, what else, our miscalculations of the people and commitment of the people of Iran and our manipulation by Israel. We realize how the US empire is in jeopardy and that Israel has lost any claim of a moral high ground.

Reverend David Gierlach, Vicar, Emmanuel Episcopal Church,HI joins us to discuss the manipulation and misinterpretation of the message of Jesus to reflect the civil society of the US and the dangers that brings when incorporated into our military.

Just think for a moment if an American elementary school was struck by an off-course missile from Iran and just think about how Americans would respond to that, how outraged we would be. That is a quote from Bill Astore, Senior Fellow from the Eisenhower Media Network who joins us to talk our war of choice or Israeli manipulation and how it is not in our interest. We also have a small salute to Country Joe MacDonald.

Matt Hoh, Senior Fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network joins us to explain yet another motive Israel has in manipulating Trump into attacking Iran. Then on to the Iranian response and their motive to make the world pay.

Craig Bardo, member of Veterans for Peace, Party for Socialism and Liberation, teacher at Nashville State College, and more , joins us to discuss how our policies against Cuba have been used on the Black Community here in the US for centuries. We also discuss our need for solidarity with the Cuban people and what that would look like right here. No Kings is not enough.

K.J. Noh returns to the show and this time he is talking about the prospects of US war on Iran, will trump or won't trump. Of course the smart thing is don't do it but is trump under too much pressure from netanyahu. Then we turn to Marco Rubio at the Munich Security conference and his revisionism and mendacity as he proposed a New Western Century.

Greg Mello, Executive Director of the Los Alamos Study Group joins us to discuss the expiration of the New Start treaty and the impact that expiration is going to have around the globe and right here in the US. We are in for difficult and dangerous times but Greg also wants us to look for any silver lining and thus he points several out.
