FUND DRIVE NEWS
We ended our fund drive with an unofficial total of approximately $693,000, a great success, extra bucks, but with an extended time frame. We're looking forward to fewer days in fundraising and are paying lots of bills to keep going strong with a majority National and Local board which is truly progressive and more firmly armed against the privatization forces. Giant thank you to those of you who could contribute and giant kudos to our phone corps - particularly those who put in morning after morning after morning: Barbara Flasher, John B., Bill St. Bernard (the breed he rescues) and our administrator/cameraman/pitcher/producer/Local Board Member Buzz and love to Diane who made the fundraising easier and more productive (and also answered phones).

Bad news and good news:

"The Withered Arm" was the last NBC University Theater broadcast and thus the end of our broadcasting of all the existent Peabody Award-Winning NBC University Theater programs. HOWEVER, during the years we have been broadcasting this entire series in order of original dates of broadcast, three more shows have been discovered, so we will be broadcasting all three, with the first of them on tonight!

3-3:30 "The Withered Arm" by Thomas Hardy. A story of witchcraft on the moors of Southern England. Adaptation by Ernest Kinoy. Originally broadcast February 14, 1951. (produced in 30 minute format)

3:30-4:30 "Main Street" by Sinclair Lewis.
As the first American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, Sinclair Lewis is the realist; the photographer whose lens presented America to Americans with a sharpness that made them angry, amused, self-critical, and ashamed; made them accept his hatreds and his loves. With Vanessa Brown and Leon Ames. Originally broadcast July 30, 1948. (not great sound quality)

12:30-3:30 Dr. Lawrence LeShan "Mobilizing the Life Force"
A Mind-Body Pioneer Reveals How Your Mind Energizes the Healing Process

On Mobilizing the Life Force, medical researcher and bestselling author Dr. Lawrence LeShan presents a powerful case for the mind’s essential role in helping the body overcome cancer and other serious illnesses. Drawing from a lifetime of research that helped redefine our understanding of mind-body medicine, he shows how the mind can take direct psychological action in concert with medical treatment, to make the crucial difference in “jump-starting” a compromised immune system.

In this three-hour talk, Dr. LeShan shares the history of mind-body therapy, methods for creating powerful enthusiasm in seriously ill people, strategies for harnessing the life force to fight cancer, and much more. Illuminated with many examples from Dr. LeShan’s decades years of work with the terminally ill, Mobilizing the Life Force is a hope-giving program for health care professionals, patients, or those who want to support a loved one on the road to recovery.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, JUNE 7


12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #70: Interview with Martin A. Lee"
Author of "The Beast Reawakens" (Describing 2007 from 1997)

The latest program recorded is FTR #959 'Update on the New Cold War and the Nazification of Ukraine' (Audio File Only–Written Description Will Be Available Presently)

Mr. Emory is putting the finishing touches on AFA #39, Titled “The World Will be Plunged into an Abyss . . .” . For The Record production will resume this week. Listeners are strongly encouraged to listen to four interviews with Martin A. Lee, author of “The Beast Reawakens.” Recorded 20 years ago, they are more relevant than ever.

"Fighting Fascism." This interview delves into the subject material of Martin A. Lee’s opus 'The Beast Reawakens' (hard-cover, Little Brown, copyright 1997.) In addition to substantive discussion of the Reinhard Gehlen spy outfit, the program sets forth the reciprocal relationship between that organization and the ODESSA.

Gehlen was Hitler’s top intelligence officer, having been in charge of intelligence for the Eastern front. After the war, Gehlen and his organization jumped, in turn, to the CIA, NATO and the Federal Republic of Germany. The ODESSA (the post-war SS underground and support organization) recruited for the Gehlen organization and was nourished by it.

Other major points touched on in the program include: the re-institution of Nazi elements at all levels of post-war German society; the ODESSA’s close collaboration with Soviet intelligence during the Cold War; the re-emergence of fascism in Germany following re-unification; Germany’s renewed drive for European domination and empire; the pivotal role of Germany in promoting the breakup of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia; the parallel and overlapping agendas of so-called neo-Nazis and the Kohl government in Germany; the German tradition of alignment with Russia as a stratagem for effecting global domination; the “mainstreaming” of fascism in contemporary European society and the parallels between European neo-fascists such as Jörg Haider (Austria) and Jean-Marie Le Pen (France) and “respectable” politicians like Newt Gingrich.

1-2 The Ralph Nader Radio Hour: "Impeachment / Can the Dems Ever Win?"
Learn everything you ever wanted to know about the impeachment process when Ralph talks to constitutional professor, Alan Hirsch, author of “A Citizen’s Guide to Impeachment." Also Bill Curry joins us to discuss how the Democratic Party can win again. Plus Ralph answers your questions!
“Impeachment is this weird hybrid of a judicial process but also a political process. And sad to say, if he (Trump) can get away with this (conflicts of interest), well he probably will. And the remedy will end being at the ballot box.”

Alan Hirsch: Chair of Justice and Law Studies at Williams College
Alan Hirsch is a Lecturer in Humanities and Chair of Justice and Law Studies at Williams College. He is the author of "For the People: What the Constitution Really Says About Your Rights and “A Citizen’s Guide to Impeachment,” a forty page handbook in question and answer format that is everything you ever wanted to know about the impeachment process but didn’t know to ask.

2-4 "The Politics and Economics of a Decaying Order"
Recorded May 11, 2017 at UCLA

What are the prospects for a new emancipatory politics that speaks to
the needs of working people, at a time when the hardline neo-liberal
leaderships of the Democrat and Republican parties and of the top
financial and non-financial corporations have set themselves implacably
against the populist and radical insurgencies that have recently shaken
the American political order? Vivek Chibber will consider the political
parties, organizations, mass movements, and ideologies – of both the
right and the left – that are seeking to exploit the political
openings that have emerged since the onset of the Great Recession in
2008. He is the author of "Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of
Capital" (2013). Robert Brenner will trace the processes of American
decline and global crisis that have driven the intensifying employers’
offensive and the profound plunge of mass living standards over the past
four decades. He is the author of 'What’s Good for Goldman Sachs is
Good for America' (2009).

The speakers are the editors of the new political journal "Catalyst: A
Journal of Theory and Strategy."

History

THURSDAY NIGHT, JUNE 8

12-1 Alan Watts, “Worldly Religions” Part 2 of 4
“Today man seems himself victimized by the social rigging in which his life moves. Its forces and activities seem to him to choke off the expansion of his life-self intimacy. In the light of this, Watts will explore the use of arts, athletics, and other secular activities as actually forms of Yoga – that is, as ways of realizing one’s identity with the Ground of Being” (AW)
