EJR w/Jeanine Molloff--Polluters should face criminal sanctions. ICC weighs in.

     Academics and environmental justice campaigners are demanding that the International Criminal Court (ICC), begin investigating and prosecuting environmental criminals. This demand would most likely include prosecution of Big Petroleum regarding its major role in global climate devastation. In response to these demands, the ICC's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan is developing a policy paper which will guide his office in terms of "accountability, transparency, and predictability" in this work. This move is long overdue. Unfortunately, it is not enough. Peacable protesters and activists are being targeted by the the UK government and prosecuted for offenses so trivial they would even make Dumb Donnie Trump blush. Dare to participate in a "slow march" and face prison time. Corporations are being given the power (not the right--but the POWER)--to attack citizens daring to use their right to peacable protest. This is done under the 'civil injunction' rule. There's so much more in terms of judicial and police abuse--so tune in. 

We will take a quick look at the decades old disinformation campaign sponsored by big petroleum pushing the lie that global warming is overblown, a hoax, a 'Chicken Little' panic. This is a 'teaser' for the next show. 

We will also have our Deplorables List and the Jackass of the Week Award. 

Tune in Sunday--or anytime.
