It's not even past." Trauma, a Greek word for wound, takes on myriad shapes and forms. It often remains and reverberates through generations. There is individual trauma and collective trauma. However, just because you suffered does not give you permission to inflict suffering on others. Angela Davis said, “Victimization cannot be permitted to function as a halo of innocence.” Empathy is the ability to take on another person's perspective, to understand, feel, and possibly share and respond to their experience. Victims need our empathy, our compassion but not according to the world’s richest man. Elon Musk has said, “The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.” Wow. http://previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=300955 http://previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=300871 12 Mar, 2025 || 0:58:00 || Music beyond boundaries for a digital world! || Deep Threes is now available on the !earshot platform.

Fight Back! || The so-called Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, is led by Elon Musk, the richest man in the world. It operates in virtual secrecy. Its slash and burn tactics have resulted in thousands of government workers losing their jobs, sometimes with little or no notice. Budgets are being hollowed out to pay for massive tax breaks for the oligarchs. Activist, organizer, politician Kshama Sawant warns, “We cannot understate the damage being done by Trump, Musk and company. It is austerity on steroids, deregulation on steroids, imperialism on steroids” and along with that she says it’s “the most dramatic concentration of executive power” in memory. There’s only one thing that will stop the Trump-Musk juggernaut. Collective citizen action. Workers! Fight Back! http://previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=300697 http://previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=300637 5 Mar, 2025 || 0:58:00 || Music beyond boundaries for a digital world! || Deep Threes is now available on the !earshot platform.

But for our own dignity and self-respect we must fight back and resist the depredations of the state and corporate sector. Historically speaking this is one of those critical inflection points. A lot of people are deeply concerned about the Trump regime and Elon Musk. The social safety net is being shredded while the gazillionaires make out like bandits. Tariq Ali says, “What the United States needs today is an opposition, which fights back politically, intellectually, and culturally with arguments, and, when necessary, comes out on the streets to defend democracy, a grassroots uprising. We need activists more than ever before.” http://previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=300461 http://previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=300411 26 Feb, 2025 || 0:29:38 || cure international, wood green, deaf advocate || This program focuses on disability issues.

What we are seeing may well amount to the gravest international crimes.” Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, said, “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.” According to prominent Israeli scholars such as Omer Bartov, Raz Segal, Ilan Pappe, Lee Mordechai and Amos Goldberg, Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to genocide. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Jewish Voice for Peace and other organizations have also reached the same conclusion. Apart from the U.S., Canada and a few European countries Israel is largely isolated internationally. Arrest warrants for Prime Minister Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant have been issued by the International Criminal Court. Israel’s goal in Gaza has been made explicitly clear by Netanyahu on down: eliminate the Palestinians. http://previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=300218 http://previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=300167 19 Feb, 2025 || 0:29:58 || Author, Thrive, Employment || This program focuses on disability issues.

Matt Damon asks Robin Williams in the movie Good Will Hunting. "Read Howard Zinn's People's History of the United States. That book'll knock you on your ass." It'll do that and more. Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States has sold more than 2 million copies. And it keeps on selling. His close friend Noam Chomsky said the book "changed the consciousness of a generation." Zinn's history from below approach was to foreground as he said, "the countless small actions of unknown people." It was a sharp departure from the traditional great men framing of history: presidents, generals, leaders, etc. His unorthodox bottom-up approach presented the past stripped of its myths and propaganda. http://previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=299984 http://previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=299931 12 Feb, 2025 || 0:29:51 || Possibilities Project Plus, music, Goal ball || This program focuses on disability issues.

He was an internationally famous singer and actor yet in the U.S. he was persecuted and blacklisted for his political beliefs. He died impoverished and in obscurity. His singular life is a model of courage and steadfastness in the face of racial and political prejudice. Robeson said, “The artist must fight for freedom or for slavery. I have made my choice. I had no alternative.” http://previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=299534 http://previous.ncra.ca/dspProgramDetail.cfm?programID=299489 29 Jan, 2025 || 0:29:49 || Manitoba Blind sports, Epilepsy Toronto Dasch || This program focuses on disability issues.
