  • David Seaborg

    24/04/2005 Duración: 29min

    David Seaborg, evolutionary biologist, speaks with Jan Lundberg for Steppin' Out of Babylon. David Seaborg is founder and president of the World Rainforest Fund based in Walnut Creek, California. As global warming and climate change dry out the rainforest and cause unprecedented fires, and development such as timber and oil extraction ravage the rainforest and the indigenous cultures, the need escalates dramatically to save species, the climate and the local tribes. David Seaborg links the plight of the rainforests to the consumption habits of U.S. consumers and whether nature preserves can rescue critical habitat.

  • Jennifer Washburn

    22/04/2005 Duración: 26min

    Jennifer Washburn is a freelance journalist and a fellow at the New America Foundation. She writes for Atlantic Monthly, Washington Post, The Nation and other national magazines. She speaks of how commercial forces have quietly transformed virtually every aspect of academic life during the past two decades and how universities are now acting more like for-profit patent factories while professors are behaving more like businessmen. Universities now often hold financial interest in the same companies that stand to profit from their professors' research. Washburn exposes how financial conflicts of interest in the academy can even endanger public health. One example she gives is that of academic professors who buried negative trial data and/or downplayed negative results of their research on the effects of Paxil and Zoloft on the behavior of children and teens. Washburn paints an alarming picture of how the academy-- the nation's last refuge for independent thought-- is being colonized by a market ideology that i

  • Jan Lundberg

    22/04/2005 Duración: 26min

    Jan Lundberg is an environmental activist of many years. His former firm was well known for publishing the "bible of the oil industry." There he noticed the unsustainable consumption of highly polluting "unending" oil extraction, and eventually left the family business he was running. He later founded the Alliance for a Paving Moratorium and the Auto-Free Times magazine. Jan now publishes and lives in the San Francisco Bay area. As the only oil industry analyst who came to fight oil expansion, he speaks in this interview about the impending energy crisis due to the imminent "peak" in global oil supply. Rather than the technofix, which his research found is really not possible, he advocates social and cultural change towards community and sustainability.

He is also a long-distance runner and writer. The film addresses what Zwicker calls the "9/11" cover-up which he says became obvious to him when he saw that no planes intervened in the 2 hours they had to stop the planes from going into the Twin Towers in New York, he saw how the Bush Administration didn't do much of anything (Bush continued to read to children in school in Florida), and how there was no investigation into the crime until over 400 days later when Kissinger, the master of many cover-ups, was put in charge. The 9/11 Commission Report didn't even address the most important issues of the crime.Zwicker says he has decided to devote the rest of his life to uncovering what happened on 9/11/01 He goes on to talk about a book he's writing now about 9/11 with some emphasis on exploring the issue of why people don't q

  • Dahr Jamail

    25/02/2005 Duración: 27min

    Dahr Jamail is one of the few "unembedded", truly independent journalists on the ground in Iraq. He has spent 8 of the past 14 months in Iraq, interviewing Iraqi people, taking and collecting photos of others and seeing for himself the devastation of the people of Iraq. He cites that over 100,000 Iraqis have been killed. He especially talks about the horrors and massacre of Fallujah which he refers to as similar to Dresden, Germany or the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam. He also describes the illegal weapons used and the DU ("depleted uranium) which really means radiation exposure from which there are already 125,000 Gulf War I veterans on disability not to mention the horrible effects on the people of Iraq. Now the US is actually using twice as much DU as it did in Gulf War I.Jamail also talks about the evidence for the elections in Iraq having been manipulated by the US and, even though the Iraqi people who voted (and whole cities did not) voted for, as Jamail says, "electricy, jobs, water"-- ie, against the co

  • Stephen Leiper

    02/02/2005 Duración: 29min

    Stephen Leiper, an independent journalist/activist/researcher who has worked with the San Francisco Bay Guardian, The San Francisco Oracle, and has been Senior Editor of Propaganda Review, talks about aerosol trails in the sky sometimes referred to as "chem trails"-- those big, long white lines in the sky coming out of airplanes that one can see over much, although not all, of the earth. Seems they might be only over NATO countries. Leiper has been investigating this issue for several years since he saw planes putting these lines in the sky. Since no information is really available from agencies of the US government to whom inquiries have been addressed and there is evidence which can be seen with our own eyes that these trails in the sky do exist and are not just the natural pollution trails from airplanes one has to wonder what is going on. There is evidence that the US Government must be involved and that aluminum oxide and barium are being released at the very least. Some websites that Leiper recommends f

Sue Supriano caught up with Danny Schecter to talk to him while he was in San Francisco for the opening of his new film.In this show Schecter concentrates on his just released film, WMD- Weapons of Mass Deception.
