EARTH MATTERS - weekly environmental news segment on KPFA's news magazine, FLASHPOINTS. This week: headlines, followed by an interview with REBECCA ALDWORTH, via satellite phone from the ice floes in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where 20- 30,000 baby harp seals are being slaughtered every day.

Rebecca Aldworth is the Canadian Wildlife Issues Director for the Humane Society of the United States. She has witnessed the seal hunt for the past seven years. She spends time with the baby seals before the hunt begins every year, on the gorgeous, pristine, silent ice floes off Canada's Atlantic coast. She then witnesses and documents the invasion of 70 sealer ships full of "men without mercy" who barbarically murder tens of thousands of baby seals, some as young as 12 days old. 40% of these baby seals are killed inhumanely, left for hours on the ice, badly injured and struggling in agony, only to be skinned alive, while conscious, in flagrant violation of federal law. The Canadian government not only subsidizes the seal hunt to the tune of $20 million, they also allow the gratuitous brutality of it to continue, in fact rewarding it by upping the quotas for seal pups every year.

Rebecca talks about the scapegoating of seals for crashing cod fisheries in the north Atlantic. Contrary to what the government and the sealers claim, depleted cod stocks are the direct result of overfishing, draglines, huge drift nets and the like. The harp seals may in fact be vital to the recovery of these cod fisheries, since they eat so many of the cod's natural fish predators.

Rebecca and her film crew have been repeatedly attacked by the sealers, and she is chased by several armed sealers during the course of this interview. On Thursday, March 31, 6 Sea Shephard videographers were savagely beaten and the arrested while trying to return to their ship, The Farley Mowat.

Rebecca also talks about the recently launched BOYCOTT OF ALL CANADIAN SEAFOOD. Please urge your listeners to visit

You can see without a doubt that no plane could have crashed into the Pentagon. Not possible. And the planes that crashed into the Twin Towers were rigged (on the Outside of the fuselage) to blow up (clearly visible). Not standard airliners.

The European leaders, who could have objected to the appointment of the salesman for an unpopular Iraq war and bungled reconstruction, sat on their hands in the cause of realpolitik: they calculated that accepting Mr Wolfowitz was a cheap way of appeasing the White House.

The FBI has used such warrants to break into homes, offices, hotel rooms and automobiles, install hidden cameras, search luggage and eavesdrop on telephone conversations. Agents also have pried into safe-deposit boxes, watched from afar with video cameras and binoculars and intercepted e-mails.

As former secretary of state Colin L. Powell worked into the night in a New York hotel room, on the eve of his February 2003 presentation to the U.N. Security Council, CIA officers sent urgent e-mails and cables describing grave doubts about a key charge he was going to make.

Army Whitewashes Deaths of Iraq Prisoners: Getting away with murder.

There's no other way to describe the Pentagon's announcement that it is refusing to prosecute any of the 17 U.S. soldiers who contributed to the deaths of three prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2003 and 2004. The decision is against the recommendations of the Army's own investigators.

This film is our soldiers’ perspective of the Iraq War, and how they are being treated upon returning home. It goes beyond the war stories to look underneath our American tradition of engaging in war and then abandoning the warrior.

If You Build It, They Will Kill

Lets face it, making war is fast superceding sports as the American national pastime. Since 1980, overtly or covertly, the United States has been involved in military actions in Grenada, Libya, Nicaragua, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, El Salvador, Haiti, Somalia, Yugoslavia, Liberia, Sudan, the Philippines, Colombia, Haiti (again), Afghanistan (again) and Iraq (again) and that's not even the full list.

New revelations about ongoing brutality at Abu Ghraib.

By Paul Rockwell

Delgado says he observed mutilation of the dead, trophy photos of dead Iraqis, mass roundups of innocent noncombatants, positioning of prisoners in the line of fire—all violations of the Geneva conventions. His own buddies—decent, Christian men, as he describes them—shot unarmed prisoners.

(Reuters) - Humans are damaging the planet at an unprecedented rate and raising risks of abrupt collapses in nature that could spur disease, deforestation or "dead zones" in the seas, an international report said on Wednesday. The study, by 1,360 experts in 95 nations, said a rising human population had polluted or over-exploited two thirds of the ecological systems on which life depends, ranging from clean air to fresh water, in the past 50 years.

UNO-Bericht:

"Apocalypse No" hieß ein dänischer Bestseller im Jahr 2002. Jetzt haben ein 1300 Umweltexperten aus 95 Ländern das ziemlich dümmliche dänische Buch eindrucksvoll widerlegt. "Apocalypse soon" überschrieb die "Süddeutsche Zeitung" den neuesten UNO-Bericht über den Zustand unseres Planeten.

Weiße Traumstrände, glasklares Wasser und strahlender Sonnenschein - im Urlaubsparadies Malediven deutet noch nichts auf die drohende Katastrophe hin. Kaum ein anderes Land dürfte der Klimawandel in den kommenden Jahrzehnten härter treffen. Die Inselkette mit ihren derzeit knapp 300.000 Einwohnern ist im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes vom Untergang bedroht. Fast flehentlich bittet die Regierung in Male die Welt um einen besseren Klimaschutz - das am 16. Februar in Kraft getretene Kyoto-Protoll geht ihr längst nicht weit genug. Doch ihre Bitten scheinen ungehört zu bleiben.

Die EU hat vor 10 Jahren beschlossen, Grenzwerte für Feinstäube und Rußpartikel festzulegen. Die Grenzwerte sind seit vier Jahren bekannt. Aber weder die Automanager noch der Autokanzler haben irgendetwas unternommen. Und nun, da die Grenzwerte in München und Stuttgart, in Köln und Düsseldorf, in Berlin und Hamburg permanent überschritten werden, tun alle Verantwortlichen ganz unschuldig und überrascht.

"Vorfahrt für Arbeitsplätze" fordern jetzt alle Politiker - der Bundespräsident, der Bundeskanzler und natürlich auch die Opposition. "Arbeit, Arbeit über alles", tönt es nahezu einstimmig. Bei 5,2 Millionen Arbeitslosen ist das verständlich. Nur: Diese Musik hören wir schon seit 20 Jahren. Einziges Ergebnis: Immer noch mehr Arbeitslose.
