It was a content packed<\/i> BradCast<\/i> this week on KPFK<\/a>\/Pacifica Radio<\/a>! Listening will<\/i> make you smarter and a generally better person in every regard.<\/p>\n

First up: We were joined up by Francesco Femia of the Center for Climate and Security<\/a> to discuss the climate change connection to the civil war in Syria<\/a> and other regions where national security dangers loom, thanks to the “threat multiplier” that is global warming. Femia is the founding Director of D.C.-based think tank with an advisory board of retired senior military officers and national security experts. Fascinating conversation!<\/p>\n

Next up: New documents disclosed by Edward Snowden and reported today by The Guardian<\/i><\/a> reveal the NSA’s agreement with Israel to share SigInt (signals intelligence) such as phone and email content without removing private metadata and content of U.S. persons first.<\/p>\n

Finally (or close to it): The disaster that is SB 360, the CA law passed last week and headed to the Governor for his signature…or veto. SB 360, as The BRAD BLOG reported exclusively<\/a> earlier this week, will abolish all federal testing of CA’s electronic voting systems and even allow the Sec. of State to approve new e-voting systems for use “in a legally binding election” without ever being tested for state certification at all. It’s a terrible bill, and we call on Governor Jerry Brown to veto it. You can (and should) too, right here…<\/a><\/p>\n

Then Desi Doyen joins us for the latest Green News Report<\/i><\/a>, as usual, though not before updating us on her latest Twitter fight with some jackass at CNBC. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
