Pirate Television TV moves to two shows a week
Pirate Television has been running at 12 noon and 8pm on Mondays for several weeks. Because we are hopelessly backlogged as of next week we will begin broadcasting two separate shows at these times for the foreseeable future.
West Coast Shut Down! Monday 5/12/08 12-1pm PST
May 1st on international workers day the International Longshoremen’s Union (ILWU) called for a one day general strike to protest the war which shut down the entire West Coast. Since May 1st is my birthday, I couldn’t ask for a better birthday present. This show is video of the rally after the protest march. We are broadcasting these speeches to commemorate this historic event.
Maude Barlow: Blue Covenant, Monday 5/12/08 8-9pm PST
Fair Trade activists will remember Maude Barlow’s talk the last time she was here at the Benaroya Hall anti-globalization teach-in that preceded the Seattle WTO rebellion. In addition to being one of the visionaries who first alerted the world to the dangers of corporate globalization with her book about the MAI: MAI: The Multilateral Agreement on Investment and the Threat to Canadian Sovereignty, she is an internationally-renowned environmental activist known for her work in the water justice movement. With this book, she brings us another warning. In addition to the climate change crisis, the peak oil crisis, and now the food crisis, the world is about to run out of fresh water. It may not be surprising that all of these crises are closely related. The same runaway transnational corporate structure that is rapidly depleting everything else is also privatizing and monopolizing the water commons in order to profit off of the crises that they themselves have created. As Bill McKibben put it, “we’re about to go H2O broke”. It’s not something a lot of people realize. Maude Barlow is the National Chairperson of The Council of Canadians, Canada’s largest public advocacy organization, and the co-founder of the Blue Planet Project, working internationally for the right to water. She serves on the boards of the International Forum on Globalization and Food and Water Watch, as well as being a Councillor with the Hamburg-based World Future Council. Maude is the recipient of six honorary doctorates, the 2005/2006 Lannan Cultural Freedom Fellowship Award, and the 2005 Right Livelihood Award (known as the “Alternative Nobel”) for her global water justice work. She is also the best-selling author or co-author of sixteen books, including Blue Gold: The Fight to Stop Corporate Theft of the World’s Water and the recently released Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis and the Coming Battle for the Right to Water.
