So on this week’s episode, we are putting the focus on the work we do along side numerous people attempting to speak the unspoken truth of war.

In the first half hour, we spend time talking to Yusuf Omar of Seen.tv. He is a former war correspondent working for CNN who came to understand the unique contributions that Palestinians can make in Gaza by telling their own stories with a cell phone camera, and at a time when Palestinian journalists are dying by the scores in order to communicate to the outside world. He is to present films by Bisan Owda and Ahmad Ghunaim to audiences across Canada and the United States in the coming week.
This interview is followed by one with Ramsey Zeid, a Palestinian-Canadian activist in Winnipeg, talking about aspects of the Genocide in Palestine not spoken about in mainstream media outlets, including the challenges and the rewards of activism.

Finally, two former guests, Canadian peace activists, Glenn Michalchuk and Tamara Lorincz, speak about some of the more persistent lies and persistent activism to turn the tide toward a more stable and just world.

This show is part of radio station CKUW’s Fundrive, encouraging listeners to contribute what they can to keep an island of truth-telling less isolated in an ocean of propaganda.

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 3/13/25

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  Things aren't looking bright!

It's been a while since we've had a new rock opera, and O'DESSA gives us a title character who, armed with a magic guitar, travels to a dystopian city ruled by a tyrannical game show host to fulfill an old prophecy. While there, she falls hard for her true love, but the infatuation soon turns into a rescue mission. Writer/director Geremy Jasper (PATTI CAKE$) zooms in to elucidate on his hero's journey.

From 2020:  In 1945, soon after atomic bombs exploded over Japan, two Hollywood studios were preparing big-budget films about the invention and use of that revolutionary new weapon. It was MGM that released THE BEGINNING OR THE END, a sort-of docudrama which covered the events leading from the U.S.'s initial reaction to the Nazis' own work to the project's terrible culmination at Hiroshima.  With his book, THE BEGINNING OR THE END: HOW HOLLYWOOD-- AND AMERICA-- LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB, author (and our sole guest) Greg Mitchell dives deep into studio meeting rooms, laboratories and military camps to tell the real story behind the celluloid one, detailing how what studio chief Louis B. Mayer called a "most important story" turned into a watered-down, stagey piece of Hollywood propaganda. 

Then, ALL-NEW "Screen Scene" movie reviews including ﻿﻿MICKEY 17; THERE'S STILL TOMORROW; IN THE LOST LANDS; SEVEN VEILS; THERE IS ANOTHER WAY; ﻿THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP: A LOONEY TUNES MOVIE and NOVOCAINE.

Ep 241 - Terrorism, India-Pakistan Standoff, and the Future of the Subcontinent

India Has Attacked Pakistan... Pakistan Is Responding | Syed Zaid Zaman Hamid | Pakistan India War | 7 May 2025 | Junaid Ali Junaid

On the morning of Saturday May 10th, US president Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that a ceasefire had been agreed between India and Pakistan after weeks of rising tensions and military strikes. 

The two South Asian powers faced-off against each other, raising concerns this could turn into an all out war between the nuclear nations. 

Pakistan’s use of Chinese platforms, India’s loss of French jets, the US intervention and the first Cold War between the West and the East are just some of the issues analysts are pouring over and that is exactly what we will do in this podcast.

World War III - It's coming

Nuclear War Symphony ( Those Waiting for Revenge ) ! 🔥☢☣🔥

Viva la revolución! ✊ Far Cry 6 Rap dan bull

On Friday, June 13, Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran’s military and nuclear programs. Iran responded by launching many waves of ballistic missiles into densely populated areas of Israel. It is a dark time of destruction, but could it result in victory for the Jewish state? Chris and Steve break down how Israel has damaged Iran’s nuclear aspirations—even while keeping its trademark commitment to preserving innocent lives! This week’s broadcast will help you make sense of this historic conflict, reminding you that God is in control of Israel’s destiny, and He will preserve them!

June 21, 2025 | #2525 - Israel at War Special Report: Israel's Unprecedented War with Iran

Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,

It didn’t happen overnight… 

The unthinkable catastrophe that left America in ruins was years in the making…

Telegraphed by ominous warnings and willful ignorance. 

By 2025, cracks were already visible in the nation’s foundation. 

Geopolitical tensions were at a boiling point…

Climate disasters hammering the coasts…

And lunatics controlled the keys to power. 

Experts sounded the alarm:

A 40% chance of a new world war by the 2030s

Many warned, likely involving the United States, China, and other major powers. 

Some even cautioned we had entered a “period of maximum danger” 

A volatile phase, where the slightest spark could ignite a global conflict. 

But America’s leaders and citizens, distracted and divided, failed to heed the signs.

As China surged ahead economically and militarily.

Surpassing the U.S. in raw industrial might…

The balance of power teetered dangerously. 

Military analysts noted that the U.S. could “no longer deter China,” and the risk of a third world war was rising. 

Beijing’s ambitions had grown bold, and Washington’s resolve had grown brittle. 

Meanwhile, climate scientists delivered their dire bulletins: 

Earth’s vital signs were flashing red, and “the future of humanity hangs in the balance,” a global coalition of experts declared in late 2024. 

Year after year of record heat, megastorms, and wildfires signaled that we had entered a “critical and unpredictable new phase of the climate crisis , one that threatened food and water supplies, infrastructure, and ultimately social stability. 

Intelligence officials quietly concurred. 

A once-classified National Intelligence Assessment warned that while climate change alone might not topple nations, it would exacerbate poverty, social tensions, environmental degradation, and “ineffectual leadership”, potentially pushing fragile societies over the edge. 

America was not immune to these pressures; indeed, it was hurtling straight into them.

Permission to be Powerful - The Day America Fell

On July 19 from noon to 3, Scott Ritter will be at the Friends Meeting House 727 Madison Ave, Albany to discuss a documentary he is making called Project 38. On January 13, 2018 the people of Hawaii were misinformed that they were about to be attacked by a nuclear misslie. For 38 minutes the citizens of Hawaii thought they were about to die. Scott will lead a discussion on making the documentary to highlight the urgency of the threat of nuclear war, to prepare policy options to prevent nuclear conflict and conduct a public awareness campaign designed to gain the attention of decision makers in Congress, and present those policy options to them.


July 19 Film Talk on Hawaii Nuclear Missile Scare

A cyclical narrative mix based on the BBC film Threads (1984) and the video game and TV series "Fallout" by Interplay Productions (1997). This mix is designed to be a warning. The mix follows the story of a nuclear bomb simulation, followed by the devastating fallout and nuclear winter caused by the war. The mix then builds up to real 2025 interviews from recent events, leading to fake BBC broadcasts to go back to the beginning. History repeating itself.

The last composition in this mix was made by Ryuichi Sakamoto, who was an anti-war activist. It is related to the horrors and devastation caused by Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

US Policy on China with Joseph Gerson Sept 14

Ira Helfand talks about the increasing threat of nuclear weapons and the efforts to prevent nuclear war. Since the arms race during the Cold War the super powers came very close to launching nuclear weapons on numerous occasions. Since the end of the Cold War many people have gotten complacent about the threat. However, efforts to educate and mobilize the public seem to be gaining momentum since the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons was adopted by the United Nations in 2017. The "Back from the Brink" campaign has spearheaded a resolution urging the United States to take leadership in getting the other nuclear powers to disarm. It has been passed in more than 70 cities, which more than 480 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and faith-based groups have adopted. Resolutions have also been introduced to Congress (H.Res 317 and S.Res 323).

Ira Helfand has leadership roles in the following organizations: Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR.org), the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICANW.org) and Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), which won the Nobel Peace Prize. He is also a cofounder of the "Back from the Brink" Campaign. For more information visit: preventnuclearwar.org.
