1 year agoanyone else devastated about Lolita/ Tokitae the captive orca whale dying recently? She spent 53 years in a tiny pool in Miami after being stolen from her mother in the PNW at age 4. People were actually trying to persuade her owner to let her come home, even for just one day, because guess what? Her family pod is still seen regularly by researchers, including her own mother… but no. it didn’t happen. apparently the park she lived in didn’t do anything to protect her from the recent heat domes in Florida either.
I started listening to a 10 hour radio show from 1991 about it. I didnt get far but I was aghast at what I heard…if you look at the subsections there are these “‘A Full Court Press: The Destabilization of the Soviet Union’ by Sean Gervasi” and then “On the role of the US far right in the dismantling of the Soviet Union: ‘The Free Congress Foundation Goes East’ by Russ Bellant and Louis Wolf”. I searched for the Sean Gervasi person and found this which seems easier to disseminate than a radio show. I haven’t been able to read it other than skimming but it seems good. I hope it helps even though it’s a day late
