And welcome to the first show of the Vernal New Year! Yes, Spring has done what it ever does and sprung. No matter the madness of the human moment we can be assured, Nature will continue to turn with the eternal regularity marked by its seasons. But surety shouldn’t encourage complacency; it is up to us to prepare for the vagaries contained within those regular seasons as a matter of collective survival.
That is in part the message of Agriculture Engineer Fuad Srouji. Fuad is a member of the Arab Group for the Protection of Nature, and author of the book, ‘The Oak Tree: A Word of Wisdom from the Plant Kingdom’. Fuad will be in Victoria presenting “An Evening in Palestine” this Friday at the former First United Met Church at Quadra and Balmoral Road, speaking on the “need for food security”.

And; if the men who ordered the destruction of Iran’s civilian infrastructure have any regrets for the lives lost in the process they’re concealing their sorrow well. When questioned about the bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab, author of the atrocity, US President Donald Trump denied US involvement saying, “We think it was done by Iran...”, while trigger man Pete Hegseth, who knew otherwise, told Americans, “This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they’re down, which is exactly how it should be.”
Dave Lindorff is an Izzy Award-winning investigative journalist, author, and founder of the web news site, This Can’t Be Happening. Dave’s book titles include: ‘’This Can’t Be Happening! Resisting the Disintegration of American Democracy,’ ‘Killing Time: An Investigation into the Death Row Case of Mumia Abu-Jamal,’ and his latest, ‘Spy for No Country: The story of Ted Hall, the teenage atomic spy who may have saved the world’.
Dave’s recent article at This Can’t Be Happening’s Substack site, ‘Trump and Hegseth: Two Soulless Men Incapable of Remorse or Even Pity’ chronicles America’s wars without tears.

But first, Fuad Srouji, protecting nature and providing a real Green Revolution for human security.
