Episode: 05.22.23: Counterpoint host Scott Harris discusses: Can Chinese Diplomacy Help End Russia-Ukraine War; The Threat of AI & Need for Regulation; DOJ Ignores Trump Scheme to Steal Election Software; Historic Boat Sails Again to Demand Nuclear Abolition

Counterpoint, hosted by Scott Harris, is heard every Monday night on WPKN 89.5 FM, Bridgeport, CT between 8:00 – 9:30 pm ET. Webstreaming and audio archive at http://wpkn.org

1) Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, U.S. Army, (Ret.) who served as Chief of Staff to Gen. Colin Powell (2002-05) talks about the Eisenhower Media Network's recent full-page ad in the New York Times, calling for a diplomatic end to the Russia-Ukraine war.

2) Corynne McSherry Legal Director with the Electronic Frontier Foundation discusses her group's position on the dangers of artificial intelligence re: privacy, disinformation and policing, and what if anything should be done at the federal level to regulate this emerging powerful technology.

3) Susan Greenhalgh, Senior Advisor on Election Security with Free Speech For People examines the multi-state plot by former President Donald Trump's operatives to access and copy voting system software in the 2020 election - and her recent Slate.com article, "Trump Was Implicated in a Vote Machine Theft. Why Isn’t DOJ Investigating?"

4) Helen Jaccard, Veterans For Peace Golden Rule Project Manager & John Miksad, founder and coordinator of the Fairfield County CT chapter of the group World Beyond War, talk about the Veterans for Peace Golden Rule Project which recovered and restored the original Golden Rule peace ship, that set sail in 1958 to stop nuclear weapons tests in the Marshall Islands. That journey inspired the many peace makers and peace ships that followed. The reborn Golden Rule is sailing once more, and stopping in Norwalk, CT May 29 to June 2 to participate in a series of events that show that nuclear abolition is possible, and that bravery and tenacity can overcome militarism.
