Resitance Radio - Interview with Dr. Warren Hearn

Mon, 22 May 2023 12:27:30 +0000

Dr Warren Hearn is a physician and epidemiologist who has a private medical practice in Boulder, Colorado, specializing in women’s healthcare. But he has studied the issue of the effects of human activities on local and global ecosystems for over fifty years. Among his observations is that the human species seriously affects all ecosystems and habitats in which it is located; and the human species now has all the major characteristics of a malignant process on the planet. This has come about because humans have culture, and cultural adaptations that have become malignant maladaptations that threaten the survival of not only human species, but many other species on the planet. His new book, Homo Ecophagus, a Deep Diagnosis to Save the Earth, is a presentation of this idea in detail. The comparison with cancer is a diagnosis not an analogy. Homo Ecophagus is Dr. Hearn’s new name for our species. It means “the man who devours the ecosystem.

Resistance Radio - Guest: Alice Friedemann

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 13:17:59 +0000

Alice Friedemann, the granddaughter of two scientists, is genetically predisposed to do extensive research and exhaustive reading. Much of this was accomplished as she read while walking 10 miles round-trip between home and office. She was a systems architect and engineer for over 25 years. She retired from Dilbert Land to devote more time to science writing on energy, ecology, climate change, whole grains, agriculture, infrastructure, pollution, and too many other topics to list (see her website www.energyskeptic.com). The past few years she has come to see that fossil-fueled western civilization will likely collapse from dozens of factors. Especially oil, the master resource that makes all others possible. Especially in transportation since heavy-duty trucks, locomotives, and ships depend on diesel fuel. Manufacturing is also completely dependent on the high heat fossil fuels can generate to make cement, steel, microchips, glass, ceramics, bricks and other essential products. Today we talk about her new book Life After Fossil Fuels.

Resistance Radio - Guest: Maria Polaris

Mon, 30 Aug 2021 12:33:56 +0000

Kris is a parent of an18 year old desisted daughter. She got involved in the gender-identity fight 3 years ago when her daughter declared she was really a boy and declared a new name and pronouns. A life-long lefty, she had no idea what was really happening with transgenderism and gender-identity. Despite the fact that her child has desisted, she continues to work to provide information and resources, through Cardinal Support Network, for other parents who are suffering.

Maria Polaris is a mother of a transgender, sometimes non binary identifying runaway daughter who has partially transitioned and is viewing life only through a transgender lens. This event fueled her search to find out why this happened and where the influences originated. She has connected with many parents who have had the same experience at the hands of a local gender clinic, many are themselves doctors, psychologists and even lawyers. Together they searched for evidence that would help them support her and love her without necessarily agreeing as they wait for her brain to fully develop. They found nothing substantial, except for the Danish study that concluded post transition, the suicide rate increased by 19 times post transition. Maria has traveled to Baltimore to speak to the Catholic Church officials, to Washington D.C. to share her story with the hope of warning government officials, educators, and anyone who will listen that a medical catastrophe is taking place and it is imperative that these children and vulnerable adults be protected. Through www.parentsofrogdkids.com, Maria was introduced to Kris. Maria is a conservative who loves nature, connecting people and recruiting like-minded citizens who will tell their stories in an effort to get better long term, healthy outcomes for these kids. After she met Kris, together as mothers, they have become friends in a gender battle that will have many casualties. The website is set up to help parents like us get our children the help they need, recruiting therapists, doctors and lawyers who will defend these kids' right to healthy, sexually functioning bodies as adults

Cardinal Support Network is an Ohio-based parent and caregiver support network for those with loved ones who have been taken in by the gender identity juggernaut. We provide scientific, fact-based information about the medical harms of transition; we provide parent partners so that when you need help, you can call, email or meet up with someone else who understands what you're going through; and, we are working to provide support for detransitioners in the area. Additionally, we are working on legislation to help reverse the rule that disallows providing standard therapy for gender-confused young people.
