Tomas Young’s War – Mark Wilkerson
2016/03/24
Info (Show/Hide)
Mark Wilkerson was my guest on the March 24, 2016 edition of Tell Somebody , just a couple of weeks ahead of the release of his new biography, Tomas Young’s War . Tomas Young was the Kansas City Iraq War veteran who died on the eve of Veterans Day, 2014, 10 ½ years after being paralyzed by a sniper’s bullet in Iraq. Tomas was featured in the must-see Ellen Spiro/Phil Donahue film Body of War which showed him dealing with his paralysis as he became an effective anti-war voice. Tomas Young’s War covers his entire life, but, perhaps most importantly, tells the story of the struggles he had between the period covered in the film and his death.

Dead Man Walking – The Journey Continues in Missouri
2015/11/05
Info (Show/Hide)
This week on Tell Somebody . Dead Man Walking author Sister Helen Prejean, and Staci Pratt, state coordinator for Missourians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (MADP).
If someone viciously and brutally murdered a loved one of yours – a child, a spouse, a parent - could you get past rage and grief to forgive? Or even just to accept? I'm not sure I could. Unless we've experienced such a loss, most of can't ever know for sure. I hope I never have to find out. But as citizens, don't we all have an obligation to consider the issue? Society has to deal with such, otherwise we leave it to surviving loved ones to forgive or not. To act in retribution or not.
Sister Helen Prejean returned to Kansas City on October 30 2015 thanks to MADP and The Center for Global Studies and Social Justice at Avila University. In between her speaking engagements at Avila University and Unity on the Plaza in Kansas City, I recorded interviews with Sister Helen and with Staci Pratt, State Coordinator for MADP.

Rocky Flats Cold War Horse
2015/10/29
Info (Show/Hide)
A bigger-than-size statue of a horse wearing a hazmat suit is the subject of the October 29, 2015 edition of Tell Somebody . Author and professor Kristen Iversen and artist Jeff Gipe joined us on the phone to talk about it.
Rocky Flats, near Denver and Boulder, Colorado, was the site of a plant producing highly radioactive plutonium triggers for nuclear bombs since 1952. After major fires and other problems spread contamination over the site and the region, the plant was shut down and officials claim it is now cleaned up and safe. Until the installation of the Cold War Horse, nothing indicated that the plant, or the contamination, had ever been there. Iversen and Gipe will fill in some details about the site and the horse statue.
Jeff Gipe, an artist now living in Brooklyn, NY, grew up near Rocky Flats, and his father worked at the plant for 20 years. He created the Cold War Horse to mark the site of the plutonium plant and to serve as a memorial to those who worked at the plant.
Kristen Iversen author of Full Body Burden: Growing Up In the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats, and is a professor in the department of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Cincinnati where she will introduce a new PhD program in literary non-fiction. She is currently working on her next book, Strange Genius: The Curious Friendship of Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla.

The Blotch on Holder’s Legacy as Attorney General…& the Other Blotch…& the Other Blotch…&…
2014/10/02
Info (Show/Hide)
Attorney General Eric Holder recently announced his intention to resign as soon as a replacement can be nominated and confirmed. This sparked much comment on what the legacy of the first African-American AG will be. Assessments of Holder ranged from the looney-tune far right echo-chamber criticism, to fawning, uncritical praise from some middle-left arenas. The closest thing to consensus might be that he did not do nearly enough to bring top Wall Street wrong-doers to justice in the wake of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, but that he was a true champion in his defense of civil rights and voting rights. On the October 2, 2014 edition of Tell Somebody , Public Citizen’s Financial Policy Advocate Bart Naylor supports the former position, and Glen Ford with the Black Agenda Report dismantles the latter. We leave press freedom and whistleblower persecution and other blotches for another time.

Cow Dung, Drones, BS & B2’s: Vandana Shiva, Brian Terrell & Ray McGovern
2014/04/24
Info (Show/Hide)
On the April 24, 2014 edition of Tell Somebody , we heard from Dr. Vandana Shiva, longtime peace activist Brian Terrell, and former CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
Author and ecological activist Dr. Shiva made some brief remarks at a dinner a day after speaking at Unity Temple on the Plaza in Kansas City on April 17, an event broadcast live on 90.1 FM KKFI Community Radio. In her dinner remarks, she talked about the worship of cow dung, recalled receiving an “award” from a Monsanto PR flack, and explained how people can respond at a planetary scale through local action.
Brian Terrell returned to Whiteman Air Force Base, the site of his 2012 arrest resulting in a 6 month prison sentence for trying to deliver an indictment to the base commander. Terrell talked about B-2 bombers, and the irony of how drone warfare, ostensibly intended to keep war at a distance, actually brings it closer.
Ray McGovern also spoke at Whiteman AFB, starting out by calling Brian Terrell a prophet. McGovern talked about the silence of the institutional church about racist war, and comments on reporting by Sy Hersh, published that day, about Secretary of State John Kerry’s lies about a hoped for “little” war against Syria.

Looking Back to 2005- Saving a Little Iraqi Girl’s Eyesight
2013/11/28
Info (Show/Hide)
Late in 2005, I got an email with a link to an Orlando Sentinel article reprinted on Truthout.org with the headline “Orlando holds hope for young war victim,” about a beautiful 2 year old girl name Alaa. In May, 2005, her two brothers and three of her cousins were killed and she and her mother were injured when an American tank shell hit their home in western Iraq. Tiny bits of shrapnel lodged in her eyes, and, in December 2005, she was in Orlando with her father in hopes of saving one of her eyes. A number of people, notably Alan Pogue and Cole Miller of www.nomorevictims.org and Ashley Severance, then a law student in Orlando, brought Alaa and her father to the U.S. and arranged lodging and medical care.
For the Thanksgiving 2013 edition of Tell Somebody, I re-aired my 2005 conversations with Alan Pogue and Ashley Severance, and gave a little bit of an update.

RALLY for Independence from Corporations!!
2013/05/14
Info (Show/Hide)
The facebook event page for a KC MoveToAmend rally said "127 Years ago, on May 10, 1886, corporations began to finagle constitutional rights through the US Supreme Court. THAT was just the beginning! This year, on the 127th "birthday" of corporate persons, Kansas City Move to Amend will join activists all over the nation with a rally at the Nichols Fountain."
After a reminder that the corporate personhood "ruling" wasn't even in Santa Clara v. Southern Pacific Railroad decision, but only in the headnotes written by the clerk of the court, the May 14, 2013 edition of the show consists of the remarks of eight speakers at the rally, including yours truly.
