The US dramatically underestimated the "capacity to be resilient" throughout the Russian population. Russian resiliency was built in the last 100 years through almost constant "catastrophes". Russian psyche is way above what we find in plushy US and Western countries.

Rapper and campaigner Lowkey (https://twitter.com/Lowkey0nline) talks about the Israel Lobby's campaign to get Spotify to remove him from their platform. Sign the petition telling Spotify not to cave here (https://www.change.org/p/spotify-do-not-buckle-to-pressure-from-the-israel-lobby-to-deplatform-lowkey?utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=custom_url&recruited_by_id=0ccb39d0-b020-11ec-b015-6f843b977d7f). 

Lowkey is a British-Iraqi hip hop artist, academic and political campaigner. He is a patron of Stop The War Coalition, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the Racial Justice Network and The Peace and Justice Project founded by Jeremy Corbyn. He has a Masters in Middle Eastern Studies from SOAS university and is an advisor to the website Declassified  which investigates the activities of the Ministry of Defence and British Intelligence Services.  He has spoken and performed on platforms from the Oxford Union to the Royal Albert Hall and Glastonbury. His latest album Soundtrack To The Struggle 2 featured Noam Chomsky, Frankie Boyle and Ken Loach and has been streamed millions of times. He produces and hosts his own weekly podcast for Mintpress and has interviewed US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Roger Waters, Naom Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Ahed Tamimi, Ken Loach and Stella Moris (wife of Julian Assange).

Lowkey has become the target of a coordinated smear campaign to demonize, defame and deplatform him. Earlier this month, organised groups forced the University of Cambridge Palestine Solidarity Society to postpone his lecture and were able to stop his appearance at the National Union of Students in Liverpool. 

Now, a campaign by lobby group "We Believe in Israel" is demanding that his content be removed from music streaming service Spotify. This is unacceptable censorship.

The campaign against Lowkey is designed to silence Palestinians and their supporters. Anti-Palestinian censorship is now reaching into the artistic realm.

Israel Lobby Pressures Spotify To Remove Pro-Palestinian Rapper Lowkey

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, with the imminent shortage of world supplies of fossil fuels due to sanctions against Russia which includes its energy exports, we take a close look at how economies and even whole societies in the US and Europe could be disrupted by sudden price increases and even shortages of this vital resource. IN our first half hour, we speak to Earth Scientist David Hughes about his latest study on the Shale reality in the US and what it suggests about the future of natural gas supplies to Europe to replace Russian shortages. Then we get hold of the author of the book The Long emergency James Howard Kunstler to talk more broadly about the immediate reality of peak oil and gas, and how it would play out in our lives. He also touches on COVID19 and the compromised presidency of Joe Biden

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, as the war continues in Ukraine, we bring you a full examination of one of the most shocking geopolitical developments in recent times, the controversial removal of the popular Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan from power, the players involved and the future for the country and the wider region. 
In our first half hour, We will be joined by Professor Junaid Ahmad , who will provide us with more details as to how and why the no confidence motion and exit of Khan took place and also focusing on the enormous rallies surging around the iconic figure. Then in our second half hour we bring back a past interview with Professor Michel Chossudovsky director of the Centre for Research on Globalization to talk about how the US allies in Pakistan, the ISI, worked toward feeding the very enemy they supposedly came to see as a great evil, and more on Afghanistan 20 years earlier.

The Removal Of Imran Khan and the Popular Push Back. How Pakistan Helped Foster the War on Terrorism

The largest religion on earth is not Christianity or Islam: it's the widespread, faith-based belief system which holds that humans are separate from each other and from the world. 

Humanity is becoming less religious as awareness expands that religions are nothing but a collection of unhelpful and unevidenced belief systems. In the same way, and for the same reason, humanity may one day do the same with the belief systems about self and separateness to which nearly everyone on earth is presently a devout adherent.

Reading by Tim Foley.

Separation Is The Largest Religion In The World

Episode 198 - Cara Delevingne

This is an 8-minute summary of the album which is available here: https://andruskannel.bandcamp.com/album/alam-pedja-soundscapes-through-the-four-seasons

Alam-Pedja is vast protected wilderness area covering 342 square kilometres. It is situated in Central Estonia northeast of Lake Võrtsjärv, in a lowland area called the Võrtsjärv Basin and consists of rivers, their floodplains, various bogs, and some very different types of forests. There are very few people living there so that the human population density is comparable to that of wolf, bear and lynx. There are few roads so the forests and bogs are not too fragmented. Since 1997 Alam-Pedja has been recognized as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention. In 2004 it was designated a Natura 2000 site.

In this album we hear recordings made in the mornings, in the day time, evenings and at nights from different types of habitats in Alam-Pedja. These soundscapes cover the springtime through summer to late autumn. Album starts with a soundscape recording where still lasts winter time. The listener gets a good idea of ​​how Alam-Pedja sounds through the year, gets a feel for the spirit and majesty of this wild area. Recordings were made over two years; 2017 & 2018.

My special thanks to fellow nature recordist Fintan O’Brien for valuable advice and help.
