Earth Riot Radio

Heat Death!  Notice This!  Planet Criers! Over-the-Top Alarmists!  Now!  Do!  What!  We can't run and we can’t hide!  Burst into flames slowly!  Give yourself a chance to think! What do we do?  Stop Shopping!  Stop Bombing!  Start Loving - but first, let out an articulate blood-curdling scream!  The global heat wave spreads fire and flood, drought and starvation, for three years.  We don’t notice.  We don’t remember.  Was the information censored or maybe the month of March wasn’t the hottest month that we know of?  Rising 9 degrees?  Impossible.

I was trying to set up a show inside a beautiful forest. I thought I was being a smart Environmentalist.  Put the forest on the air. In the first few minutes of this Earth Riot the forest keeps stopping the show, without explanation. I feel myself being pulled to another part of the forest, who is pulling me. The forest leaves Savitri D and Neil Young alone... they don't get interrupted. When I'm in a new part of the forest I find my equipment works fine so I restart my cheerful welcoming remarks and then the wild kingdom pulls the plug again. Can a whole forest be a trickster? Can an ecosystem mess with a well-meaning human? Can the entire Earth be playing us for a fool?

We need the heart of Love and the cunning and imagination of Intelligence too.  If you have the billionaire economy ignoring the Earth, supporting violence against life, including but not limited to all the humans who are not subscribing to the White Christian Nationalist attack on our Constitutional Rights and our neighbors…. Well, let’s get together and fight!  Earthalujah!

We Are Woke Monsters from Deep in the Earth. We have learned that a hidden violent strategy to reduce the natural world to one large profit center is underway…The Trump policy on climate change is to call it a hoax. In this week’s Earth Riot we are the Hoax Released!  We have the talented and powerful assistance of Puma, Loon, Kookaburra, and Howling Monkeys. They will join the Stop Shopping Choir,howling for the natural world to flourish in all its glorious complexity. All the Woke Monsters will defeat the AI robots and their corporate toadies. That’s the Armageddon at the End of the World, WOKE EARTH MONSTERS VS. BILLIONAIRE AI ROBOTS.

There comes a moment when we are wise and loving enough to notice that the Earth that we are attacking is alive and watching the whole thing. The killing of fellow humans, of all the animals and plants, all life, known and unknown, even varieties of bacteria are going extinct on our watch. They are all witnessing us.  We are creating an unbelievable phenomenon that the billionaire media is hushing up: this 3 year old global heatwave that our economy manufactures. The living Earth is watching our fire and flood, and the Earth is struggling to extend life beyond the time of the humans.  But we are life too, and we are watching too.

The Earth is entering her 4th year of the Global Heat Wave.  Mass mortality - the silencing wave of life forms - is sweeping through mountains and valleys and cities.  But we don't see it. This show is a warning - we must develop the sensitivity needed to feel this heat - and to the agony of WAR, the hottest crime against the Earth - and a moment with Joan Baez, and then a deep lesson about this ancient place Iran that the Great USA wants to control with more heat, and finally an old stoop story with a child and a neighbor as Super Storm Sandy takes the city.  Earthalujah!

Called liars and elitists by Trump’s government….  climate change is a “hoax”….  We resolve to be the super storms for Peace. We have new resolve as the single thing that humans do against the Earth - WAR - is unleashed, we escape from that hoax trap, that branding, that lie.  We pray for the people of that far away place that receive our violence.  We sorrow with you.  We didn’t take care of our American flaw. We always knew. If you attack the Earth, then you attack people too.

Only The Earth Can Stop The United States The devilish "greatness" of our government, guided by profiteering and the very rich’s expanding circles of murderers… …will be culled by a giant gardener pulling a noxious weed, as the rise of the Earth against the fossil fuel toxins takes over the planet. I’m not just talking about the fire and flood and drought and sea-rise, which now threatens us, but also the power of life and love and evolution, the endless variety of new life running, flying, swimming, wriggling into being. The thousands of new-to-our-scientsts species that were discovered in 2025 is reviewed by Savitri D in the “News from the Natural World” in this week’s Earth Riot Radio.  Listen in and you will be convinced that new life is vigorously alive.

We have made common journey to find each other in the intensity of this moment that we meet. We get whole-body relief, that they are here, pouring out their trust and we reply in kind.  And quickly after that, a pact of mutual loyalty. What can I do for you? Share laughter. Best wishes. Willingness to work. Music.  In the Earthchxrch we are feeling a community grow. Why is this a threat and not a coming-true promise?

Since the Earth's crisis gives us months or maybe years, gradualism is a faster kind of suicide. Every one of our prayers needs to be like an ambulance, flooring it right at the emergency. Scientists say that most of reality is a whirlwind of subatomic particles called Dark Energy. So, we are stranded on a desperate little human island, while Dark Energy rages bafflingly over and through everything. This is the Fabulous Unknown. We trust the deepest space with our wildest imagination and that's our church. Earthalujah! Come visit us at the Earthchxrch, 36 Ave C Loisaida, at 3rd Street, in the East Village, New York. We hold forth at 5pm most Sundays. Reach us at Revbilly.com Earthalujah!

The Big Lie is everywhere. It's the atmosphere, it's glyphosates, it's radiation, it's the ultimate poison. The Big Lie comes in many forms, from QAnon to the Atom Bomb. But it's so saturating, that if we walk along the sidewalk and encounter someone telling the truth, those words hit us like magic mushrooms. To sell the simple truth is now, in 2022, to be a radical revolutionary. Join us. The Earth is a conscious living being and we still have a chance to join up. But you gotta tell the truth.

We environmentalists must move our point of view from the center of human power to a point in outer space, back somewhere in the early days of the big bang. Then maybe we can overpower these gods that make poisoning the Earth sensible. We are marching toward men marching toward us. They have a god above them, who guarantees their eternal life. The god is Krishna, Jesus, Jehovah, Allah, Buddha, Donald Trump, Mickey Mouse, and the pink plastic ruler in the Cracker Jack box. They don't believe in climate change -- that's a sneak attack from a foreign god. Just before these god-people kill us, they see that our supreme being is the Earth, and so they, our fellow earthlings, our murderers, are a part of our mysterious guide. We explain to them that life and death are unexplained but very beautiful. The Fabulous Unknown!

As the big institutions try to spread their life sentences, they are stopped by love. It’s the same old story and that old story of erotic romance is making a comeback as the libraries are burned down by fear of sex and foreigners.  The books are in our bodies and we dance away. We sing our strong beliefs in the songs in today's Earth Church radio show... The title track of our new record "Change Without Us", is in this show at the 3 minute point. It's a disco song for radical earth activists in the time of 6th Extinction.  The libraries burn but we got the songbook in our bodies.  We have more control of our fate than Q’anon or Scientologists or Exxon would think- because we keep falling in love.  We keep falling in every kind of love.

Most of us know how we will be required to be far more radical than we have been, and very soon. We have quietly agreed with ourselves that we will try to work with the complete collapse of this thing called civilization. Personal extreme change will match the conditions of the Earth's release of fire and flood, virus and death in this Sixth Extinction. Covid, Black Lives Matter and the Ukraine Invasion are object lessons for us. Our house, career, and city... Our plans for parenting and educating and accumulating comforts will be abandoned. Strange evolution will overtake us, sudden intimate agreements, a faster dance in the disappearance of time.

The people who set up the COP conferences invite billionaires and their enabling professionals to a poker game with a large herd of aggrieved advocates. The game is rigged, but it takes ten days. But that is the essential story of the conference, until now. With the physical environment so clearly deadly, the question "How will we survive" is bringing back the emotions of decency. Good people who want to live will tear apart a refinery with their bare hands over the weekend. As they do this, they are happy.

No matter how bad the floods and diseases and storms get, most of here in consumerized Americak keep basking in gradualism. It isn't really happening...not yet.   And when I say God I mean celebrities, the first crypto million, and the hope that we will all have one more moment of unexpected sex. What do we really worship? What were we worshipping when the Earth slipped us through the door to our own extinction? The Webb telescope images didn't show us more Earths. We have been living in a gift. Join the Earth Church, your own version. Be grateful, even if our time is up. Gratitude we should have expressed long ago can be concentrated in a message to the forests that are still standing.  It's the Earth, the Earth, it's Earth... it's always Earth.

The planet is spinning toward extinction. We might survive if we learn how to spin with it. When a glacier the size of Manhattan melts and disappears, then we have to melt, too. There is no history that we know of to deal with what is happening. We can't even make the phrase "extinction" popular enough to help people steal it back from blockbuster films and video games. We have to try every dance, every language and music and every rupture of what we thought was true. A new activism for the Earth!

A barrier to mounting powerful actions for species and ecosystems is the loss of forgiveness. We face self-blame for the ineffectiveness of environmentalism. We give ourselves unrealistic schedules of work. We can be harder on ourselves than the polluters because we are more familiar with the facts of the crisis, which are devastating.   This is a time of name-calling and finger-pointing, and it's not just from extremists. It's everywhere. But we've learned in the Earth Church that right-thinking doesn't persuade like spiritual joining. Would we ever offer best wishes to Jamie Dimon or Jeff Bezos? In this radio show we listen to reconciliations in Rwanda. At the sentencing of Dylan Roof, we witness radical acts of compassion.

Something happened on the way to the 11th rally and march. After the Supremes ruling gutted the EPA, we went down to Foley Square, site of the NY State Supreme Court, to what? To make new climate change relationships... All the groups were there, from Sunrise to Extinction Rebellion. Each carries its own history of brazen love struggling against the traditions of fear.  The Supremes are betting that we will enter their cages of hate, like good little consumers. But it may be that the Trumpian lawyers-in-robes have made so many deadly rulings that a new hybrid of justice seeker is in the making. So many different kinds of activists have mixed in the streets to the point of dizzy exhaustion. Will we stagger out of all this with an Earth-loving super-majority?

The spinning wet white-and-blue rock that we call home is completely outside the systems of governance that order society. It is extreme and changing radically in all directions. Our only hope is to connect with the Earth with an invented and secret way of life, evolving into a personal wildness.
