    209- There's A Mountain Lion In The Lobby of JP Morgan Chase

    Wild animals, Mountain Lions!,  are invading the new world headquarters of the big bank, all the way up to the 70th floor office of Jamie Dimon. The Church of Stop Shopping has provided six bullhorns to project the upsetting screams of the famous apex big cat.  The church services are held at the public garden on Madison Ave, between 47th and 48th, the behemoth buildings ‘back door’.  The largest bank in the world and top investor in fossil fuel, including the four major pipelines in North America, including Israeli weapons…. The screams of the lion will be echoing in the fortress-like Chase HQ, as employees find angry Pumas on their phones and computers, in their minds.

    207 - ICE Veterans Turn In Their Guns

    Who knew?  At the end of Trump's term in office, Americans were shocked as 70,000 ICE veterans turned to meditation after bursting into tears at Truth and Reconciliation sessions.   Forced into abandoned government housing units for the mass healing process mandated by the courts, called by wags "The A*****e Hilton", the ICE vets were stricken with guilt so paralyzing that they actually took the advice of the protesters to "SHUT THE EF UP AND GO HOME!!!" - which is similar to the practice of committing to long periods of silence with closed eyes.

    206- Renee and Alex, Our Best Neighbors

    What are we learning? Are you asking this question? We need to learn something crucial about community, something we will never forget. Renee Good and Alex Pretti. They are role models. They were not reckless. They did not do the wrong thing. They were killed a stone's throw from their homes. They were both just beyond their front doors. And instinctively they put their personal defense in the smallest acts of kindness.  Renee died saying "I'm not mad at you" and Alex was helping a woman that ICE pushed to the sidewalk. Renee and Alex teach us that ordinary love is to be seen, to be thanked, to be practiced and protected.

    205 - Today, Take A Moment

    Today, Take a Moment  We honor Dr. King and the loving activists who gave their lives. We hold their lives in memory, as masked men hunt down our neighbors and shoot anyone who argues.  Foreign and domestic security seeks to surveil, track and neutralize people that are in any way righteously moral, funny in the wrong way, or…just… well, different, other.  Great Women and Great Men died for our rights, but now you can be a martyr just by making an ill-advised u-turn or bird watching a bird thats flown into the wrong backyard. Look up at the sky.    Earth Riot Produced by William Talen, Jason Candler and Savitri D Edited by Jason Candler Natural News by Savitri D This show is part of Pantheon Podcasts.

    Impossible

    Only The Earth Can Stop The United States The devilish "greatness" of our government, guided by profiteering and the very rich’s expanding circles of murderers… …will be culled by a giant gardener pulling a noxious weed, as the rise of the Earth against the fossil fuel toxins takes over the planet. I’m not just talking about the fire and flood and drought and sea-rise, which now threatens us, but also the power of life and love and evolution, the endless variety of new life running, flying, swimming, wriggling into being. The thousands of new-to-our-scientsts species that were discovered in 2025 is reviewed by Savitri D in the “News from the Natural World” in this week’s Earth Riot Radio.  Listen in and you will be convinced that new life is vigorously alive.

    202-Love Has Never Been A Popular Movement

    Love is a profit center.  Love is a Hollywood slang word.  Love is claimed by religions, which teach investment bankers to wage wars.Love is a song that we all sing while knowing that there is a responsibility that we are taking on with the use of Love, and so we walk away from our meaningful time with Love, because taken seriously we often attract Indifference, Disease and Hate.  Love would have to be something that we all did at once. It's possible. It's absolutely necessary. It's probably uncomfortable and often fatal.  I love you.
