Program Title: Gorilla Radio - June 7 2010 - Terror on and under the High Seas
Description: This week: Of BP and the Gulf oil disaster, This Can't Be Happening's Dave Lindorff writes; "Even as BP’s blown well a mile beneath the surface in the Gulf of Mexico continues to gush forth an estimated 70,000 barrels of oil a day into the sea, and the fragile wetlands along the Gulf begin to get coated with crude, which is also headed into the Gulf Stream for a trip past the Everglades and on up the East Coast, the company is demanding that Canada lift its tight rules for drilling in the icy Beaufort Sea portion of the Arctic Ocean." Dave Lindorff is a long-time journalist and author, who is described at his website, 'This Can't be Happening' as "a quixotic one-man effort to afflict the powerful." Dave Lindorff in the first half. Home from a six-day ordeal that saw him in the middle of the now infamous raid against the Gaza freedom proponents, Kevin Neish on surviving Israel in the second half. And; Victoria Street Newz publisher and CFUV broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft will join us from sunny Gabriola Island at the bottom of the hour where the annual National Campus and Community Radio Association confab began today. But first, Dave Lindorff on the audacious greed of BP screwing the planet's environment. Chris Cook hosts Gorilla Radio, airing live every Monday, 5-6pm Pacific Time.
