Gorilla Radio with Chris Cook, Ken Stone September 20, 2023
Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded September 20th, 2023
Earlier this year, Britain decided to include depleted uranium shells with its deliveries of their Challenger II tanks gifted to Ukraine. Russia charged the so-called CHARM3 munitions are in effect "dirty bombs" and would decision effectively "nuclearized" the war there.
DU munitions were first used in the Gulf War of 1991, again in the Former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and Syria. The deleterious, long-term effects of DU is well documented, yet still contested by NATO and America, who recently announced it too would send depleted uranium weaponry to Ukraine.
Ken Stone is an activist and author working for peace with the Syria Support Movement International and Hamilton Coalition to Stop the War. His book, 'Defiant Syria: Dispatches from the Second International Tour of Peace to Syria' is a compilation of his dispatches from the Second International Tour of Peace which visited Syria from April 12-18, 2016.
Ken and the Hamilton Coalition are hosting the webinar, 'Cluster Bombs & Depleted Uranium Weapons in Ukraine: 2 More Reasons to End the War Now' today, September 20th.

Gorilla Radio with Chris Cook, Yves Engler (extended) March 29, 2023
Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded March 29th and April 2nd, 2023.
And welcome to the Spring of discontent! While leaders In the capitals of Europe and America promise to carry on the Ukraine proxy war no matter the price, the People are already in the streets protesting the real and rising costs of that belligerence.
For Canadians, whose government is already full-throatedly behind: the bellicose stance against Russia, prospects of an expanded war against China and Iran, battles by sanction in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and elsewhere, there is too Haiti.
Last week, the Trudeau Liberals blithely announced another $100 million dollars to be delivered to the tiny island nation's military and police effort to keep the restive population under heel. This on top of millions already delivered. It's almost as if Ottawa believes the fatted tax goose's golden eggs will never flag.
Yves Engler is an independent, Montreal-based journalist and author. He’s written twelve books on Canadian foreign policy, including ‘Canada in Haiti: Waging War on the Poor Majority’, co-authored with Anthony Fenton.
His recent article, 'Canadian government prioritizes war over climate crisis' is a troubling portrait of a country few here in our home and native land would recognize.
