SPIRIT IN ACTION: Another Mother’s Child – A Jewish Quaker Reaches Out (00:55:00)
Many of us have been in pain about events in the Middle East for years, a pain that was horribly amplified by the massacre of Jews on October 7th, 2023, and the horrific and disproportional retribution that followed in Gaza by Israelis. Today’s guest is Sandy Green, a Jewish Quaker, formerly a Zionist, who found she could not un-see the evils perpetrated by Israel on Palestinians, not just recently, but for decades. Late in her long life, Sandy has become a visible activist, facing painful consequences, but remaining steadfast to a fuller and wider love. This show includes a couple-minute clip from the 3/28/2024 QuakerSpeak.com interview with Sandy Green, anonymously at the time, and a reading by Sandy of her poem, Another Mother’s Child. Among the places Sandy has spoken is the Fridays at Fetterman’s weekly protest. Past/present religious/spiritual influences: Jewish, Quaker
LITERATURE ALOUD: Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) by Harriet Beecher Stowe ch. 17 (00:40:54)
Among the most banned books in the United States, Uncle Tom’s Cabin or, Life Among the Lowly is a novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe which treats slavery as a central theme. Stowe was a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Academy and an active abolitionist. The novel is believed to have had a profound effect on the North’s view of slavery. In fact, when he met Harriet Beecher Stowe, President Lincoln is said to have commented, “So you’re the little lady whose book started the Civil War.” First published on March 20, 1852, the story focuses on the tale of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave, the central character around whose life the other characters—both fellow slaves and slave owners—revolve. The novel depicts the harsh reality of slavery while also showing that Christian love and faith can overcome even something as evil as enslavement of fellow human beings.

THE BRADCAST: 11/28/2024 Encore: ‘Bullet Ballot’ Claims and Other Arguments for Hand-Counting 2024 Votes; Gaetz report files hacked (00:58:00)
On today’s ‘BradCast’: Concerns over the accuracy of the 2024 Election results are growing in the wake of cybersecurity and voting security experts urging the Harris Campaign to seek hand recounts in states where voting system software was breached and distributed after the 2020 Election. We explain new theories about the election concerns posed by financial services security expert Stephen Spoonamore – – but again, the only way to determine if the results were tabulated accurately is with a public hand-count of ballots. In Pennsylvania’s extremely close US Senate race, a court battle is underway over whether otherwise legal ballots should be tossed out if mail-in voters wrote the incorrect date on the outside envelope. A hacker has accessed the unreleased report detailing evidence in the disturbing sex trafficking charges against Donald Trump’s nominee for US Attorney General, Rep. Matt Gaetz. Plus Desi Doyen has our new ‘Green News Report.’

MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR: Istanbul Crossing, Syrian Refugees with Timothy Jay Smith (00:59:01)
Raised crisscrossing America pulling a small green trailer behind the family car, Timothy Jay Smith developed a ceaseless wanderlust that has taken him around the world many times. En route, hes found the characters that people his work. Polish cops and Greek fishermen, mercenaries and arms dealers, child prostitutes and wannabe terrorists, Indian Chiefs and Indian tailors: he hung with them all in an unparalleled international career that saw him smuggle banned plays from behind the Iron Curtain, maneuver through Occupied Territories, represent the US at the highest levels of foreign governments and stowaway aboard a devil’s barge for a three-day crossing from Cape Verde that landed him in an African jail. Tim brings the same energy to his writing that he brought to a distinguished career, and as a result, he has won top honors for his novels, screenplays and stage plays in numerous prestigious competitions. His novels include, The Fourth Courier, Fire on the Island & his new book is Istanbul Crossing, about a gay Syrian refugee who helps other Syrian refugees on their arduous & often desperate attempt to get to Europe.
In this interview conversation we talk about the Syrian refugee crisis as they flee from war torn Syria, seeking a better life in Europe, as well as what happens to those who don’t have the money to get all the way to Europe and get stranded along the way. Tim also shares some of his overseas adventures and misadventures. We also talk about the coming global and US refugee crisis as climate change & the rising ocean displace coastal region around the world and the US
DEEP DIVE CYBERSECURITY SHOW: The Case For The Editorial Process (00:58:35)
Disinformation, in part, drove the 2024 election. Real time information was perpetually poisoned by false narratives and the kicker of the whole thing is that Elon Musk openly embraced and encouraged this! If we kill the editorial process and information vetting, there is no coming back from the false realities that are being online and convincing people of things that simply aren’t true. This is what amps up violence and we need to explore the differences between actual vetted news and the fake garbage pervasive online. Don’t miss this episode.
