This Week on Gorilla Radio

by C. L. Cook

This week: freelance photojournalist, Jon Elmer on Bush's plan for peace in Palestine; author and journalist William Marsden and Canada's Tar Sands eco-cide in the far north; Janine Bandcroft bringing us up to speed on good local goings-on in and around Victoria in the coming week.

 

 

George W. Bush: Man of Peace?

 

It may be a little bit of a stretch, what considering the hundreds upon hundreds of thousands innocent victims killed by Americans and their Anglo-Axis allies in the farcical War on Terror, but the Whitehouse announced last week its intention to broker a peace deal between Israel, and the civilian population that state has murdered and terrorized with impunity for more than half a century.

 

Yes, George W. "Bring 'em on"  Bush believes he can achieve what presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush senior, and Clinton all failed to do, stopping Israel's rapacious criminality, as practiced against generations of the Palestinian people.

But, is Bush serious, or is the Annapolis Summit meeting scheduled later this week merely a cynical and self-serving vanity?

 

Jon Elmer is a Canadian freelance photojournalist, author, and creator of the website, From Occupied Palestine.org. He has travelled in, and reported from, Occupied Palestine, and will join us in the first segment.

And; Canada is today standing on the precipice of an ecological abyss most of us neither know, nor care about.

 

That is the message of 'Stupid to the Last Drop: How Alberta is Bringing Environmental Armageddon to Canada (And Doesn't Seem to Care).' William Marsden is an award-winning investigative reporter, and author of the best-selling books 'Angels of Death' and 'The Road to Hell.'

 

His newest book chronicles a journey through the Canadian oil patch, drawing a disturbing picture of inexorable environmental destruction, and an industry apparently run amok.

 

William Marsden and Canada down the pipes in the second half.

And; Janine Bandcroft will be here at the bottom of the hour to bring us up to speed with all that's good to do in and around Victoria in the coming week.

 

But first, Jon Elmer and the worth of a Bush peace promise for Palestine.
