We begin the GREEP zoom #200 with JEN KARIUS, who worked the polls in Pennsylvania & asks for others to contact her.

Then the great JOHN BRAKEY checks in from Arizona with his deep understanding of what a fair election really looks like.

MYLA RESON introduces DAVID FELDMAN of “the Mop Up,” and tells us that letters are going to Kamala Harris, asking her to investigate the election outcome.

Myla reads the “Duty to Warn” letter from computer expert Steven Spoonamore sent to the Democrats.

From Asheville, North Carolina, ILENE PROCTOR reports on an election outcome that gave down ballot Democrats a victory along with Trump.

Legendary “Flashpoints” host DENNIS BERNSTEIN warns of federal legislation designed to attack progressive non-profits.

BRENDA DAVIES gratefully informs us about HR815, set to destroy activist groups nationwide.

KPFK’s erstwhile Chair TATANKA BRICCA warns of explosions set to go off possibly this summer.

We then hear from MARGOT KING that HR 815 has been (temporarily) defeated.

RUTH STRAUSS says she un-scribed from the Washington Post but thinks folks should join back up.

Unfortunately, a machine has not yet been developed that can take one back in time and undo terrible mistakes being made due to lack of appreciation of possible downstream consequences of certain actions. If Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary had been somewhere else other than in Sarajevo back in June 1914 Serbian Gavrilo Princip might never have been able to assassinate him and the European system of military alliances might never have been triggered to start World War I. Going through the subsequent history of wars since the Great War, there are certainly any number of historical mistakes or omissions that might have been rectified to stop those wars from starting in the first place.

In 54 BC, Marcus Licinius Crassus, a rich, ambitious Roman businessman, got himself named governor of the wealthy province of Syria. Crassus had been sharing power in Rome with Pompey and Julius Caesar. Call him the Donald Trump of his day.
Crassus decided to invade neighboring Parthia, which is today Turkey and Iran.
This week we observe the end of the “War to End All Wars”, also known as World War I. The memorial week will be filled with the usual platitudes and patriotic guff designed to benefit the politicians who sent millions of young men to their deaths in this most stupid of all wars.
I consider World War I as the greatest tragedy to befall civilization.

“Unqualified,” declared Ben Jealous, executive director of the Sierra Club, about Lee Zeldin being nominated by President-elect Trump to head the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The nomination, Jealous said, “lays bare Donald Trump’s intentions to, once again, sell our health, our communities, our jobs and future out to corporate polluters. Our lives, our livelihoods, and our collective future cannot afford Lee Zeldin—or anyone who seeks to carry out a mission antithetical to the EPA’s mission.”

In issuing the statement, the Sierra Club noted that it “is America’s largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization with millions of members.”

Chuck Schumer

The U.S. House just passed H.R. 9495 — a bill that would grant the incoming Trump administration the power to shut down organizations they don’t like by revoking their nonprofit status.

We can’t let this happen, Suzanne. It would have a chilling effect on our ability to fight for climate justice and oppose fossil fuel projects. But we can still stop this bill in its tracks in the Senate if we amplify our outrage before H.R. 9495 can come to a vote.

We need you to take action with us today. Send a message to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer now urging him not to let H.R. 9495 get a vote!
