Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded May 17th, 2023The status of Crimea is becoming the main issue forbidding peace between Russia and the NATO-backed government in Kyiv. Canada's official position - one shared by its NATO partners - treats the peninsula as "occupied" territory, referring to the 2014 referendum on joining Russia as "unconstitutional" and therefore invalid.For his part, Ukraine president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week, "The world should know: Respect and order will only return to international relations when the Ukrainian flag returns to Crimea."Needless to say, Russia sees things differently.Dan Kovalik is a lawyer, educator, labour, peace, and justice activist, democracy defender, journalist, author, and filmmaker. He's just returned from an extended research mission in Russia, including travels throughout Crimea.Dan’s observed elections in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Colombia – where he witnessed the 2016 peace plebiscite promising an end to the generational war there. His book titles include: ‘Cancel This Book: The Progressive Case Against Cancel Culture,’ the 'Plot to...' series on American efforts to undermine the governments and economies of Iran, Venezuela, and Russia, ‘No More War: How the West Violates International Law by Using ‘Humanitarian’ Intervention to Advance Economic and Strategic Interest,’ and his recently released, ‘Nicaragua: A History of US Intervention &amp; Resistance‘.Dan Kovalik in the first half.And; the epochal events roiling our World may seem to us to be all of the moment, but they are merely more of the same found under the Sun. History waxes and wanes, just as Fortune, ever capricious, turns the magnificent to meanness in a twinkle. It is all illusion, a bubble blown and popped and done. What endures are words of wisdom; verse uttered on a stage, prose printed on the page. It's a great and humbling realization to know our times will seem someday to some others as so many tempests in a char's pail.And if that sounds to you like so much philosophy, and all too poet-y, you ain't heard nothin' yet!Kim Goldberg is a Nanaimo-based poet, journalist, and author. She’s written 8 books of poetry and nonfiction, including her most recent collection ‘DEVOLUTION: poems and fables of eco-pocalypse‘. Kim is playing host this Saturday, May 20th in Nanaimo to 'Poetry of Resilience', a gathering of lettered presenters at the Harbourfront library branch. It will feature fifteen local poets and musicians sharing their vision of resilience through word and song.Kim Goldberg with the constant poets in the second half.But first, Dan Kovalik and Crimea as crucible of the Russia/Ukraine war.Chris Cook hosts Gorilla Radio, broad/webcasting since 1999.
