Rod departed with the Caravan to Wet'suwet'en from the lower mainland a couple of weeks back, and joins us in the first segment with reports of the caravan and their getting in the path of a promised pipeline at the heart of B.C.

And; they're baaack. Yes, the Neocons have resurfaced! Rebranded and up to their bloody elbows in mischief again, the folks that brought you the Balkans, Iraqs I and II, Afghanistan, and Libya, are front and centre of the Washington war lobby pack and afroth at the mouth for more gore.

Syria is just one project for the Foreign Policy Initiative, or FPI; that is the new monicker for the war mongers formerly known as the Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

Ramzy Baroud is a Palestinian-American journalist, editor, educator, and former Al-Jazeera producer.

And; Victoria Street Newz publisher and CFUV Radio broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft will join us at the bottom of the hour to bring us newz from the city's streets and beyond. But first, Rod Marining and the next stage of resistance to Big Oil in B.C.

Listen. Hear.
