| Phil Ochs (singing/playing) I Ain't Marchin' Anymore Single (Elektra), also released on many albums 1966 Soul Ochs wrote "I Ain't Marching Any More" as American involvement in the Vietnam War was beginning to grow. The song criticizes all of American military history from the perspective of a weary soldier who has been present at every single war since the War of 1812. The chorus notes that "it's always the old who lead us to the war, always the young to fall" and asks whether the price of military victory has been too high. Ochs said of the song that it "borders between pacifism and treason, combining the best qualities of both." He also wrote "the fact that you won't be hearing this song on the radio is more than enough justification for the writing of it."

| Host Maria Gilardin Yanis Varoufakis: The Combination That Changed Capitalism Forever TUC Radio (one of TJR's treasured sources) Available at TUC's website tucradio.org 2020 On July second, 2020, the economist and former Finance Minister of Greece, Yanis Varoufakis, gave a webinar on how the current collapse of the world economy might change capitalism forever by challenging the survival of private banking and the functioning of the stock exchange. Varoufakisā thesis reminded me of a headline in the Sept. 2019 New Yorker from Bill McKibbens divestment campaign. It said: Money Is the Oxygen on Which the Fire of Global Warming Burns. What would it be like to abandon not just a particular investment by a bank but the whole banking system?

| Producer Stan Robinson (announcing) The United Nations official database showing 112 business enterprises that earn or extract profit from activities in Israel's illegal settlements https://undocs.org/pdf?symbol=en/A/HRC/43/71 2020 Download this list for yourself at the URL shown above. In one united, shameful voice, corporate media dismiss or condemn this list and its makers at the United Nations. Google searches are optimized to return the condemnations but make it hard to access the original source. Note also: this list does not include all targets on JVP's BDS list. That's because some of them, for example HP and Caterpillar, do their dirt throughout Palestine but not in or from settlements.

| Professor Gar Alperowitz Hiroshima and Nagasaki: Why we must reject mainstream media's mythology One of the three distinguished speakers at the July 13 webinar, "75th Anniversary of the Atomic Bombings ā Deconstructing the Myths and Promoting a Nuclear Weapons-Free and Just World." Watch the entire webinar yourself. Its URL facebook.com/watch/live/?v=759820474820059 2020 There were three presenters at this very special webinar. Two spoke in English, one in Japanese, untranslated. Alperowitz was keynote. He wrote the definitive book on the cynically constructed, outrageous, myth that bombing and eviscerating Hiroshima's population was "necessary" to "save Americans' lives" and to achieve the end of WW2. Alperowitz was near the center of power at that time, so he knows the real story and shares it with us.
