MONDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 11
12-2 Caroline Casey and Daniel Sheehan 'Bush Family Ties to 9/11'
Published on youtube in July, 2016 but the interviews evidently took place around 2003 when people were contemplating who should run against W in his bid for a second term. There is scant attention to the usual 9/11 questions which have arisen as details became known and a 'commission' 'studied' the 'facts,' but a clear and formidable rundown of the "Clash of Civilizations" plans as they grew from 1940's to 2003, step by step, name by name as only Sheehan can describe, based not on theory but on proofs developed for court decisions and verdicts. The narrative suffers a bit from its age, but the descriptions of the foundations will clarify the foundations of our historical knowledge of post WW II and leading to today. It's kind of like a roller coaster time travel trip with forgotten and unknown basic facts and personalities in our history since 1940 and shifting to post 2003 where the listeners' knowledge and experience take primacy. (For instance, it's probable that neither had ever heard of anyone named Obama) But there is fascination as the plans carefully nurtured in 1940's Germany do their twists and turns and readjustments in the 21st Century so far.

2-3 David Ray Griffin, "The New Pearl Harbor"
Maria Gilardin interviews David Ray Griffin.
The historian Howard Zinn said 'David Ray Griffin has done admirable and painstaking research in reviewing the mysteries surrounding the 9-11 attacks. It is the most persuasive argument I have seen for further investigation of the Bush administration's relationship to that historical and troubling event.'
In this book, published in 2004, David Ray Griffin lists 40 incidents that raise serious doubts about the official version of 9-11 and he lists some of them in this interview. Griffin has been a Professor of Philosophy of Religion at the Claremont School of Theology in Southern California for over 40 years. He is the author and editor of over 20 books. The interview took place around 2007.

12-1 Daniel Sheehan: South Dakota Exposed
Lakota People's Law Project chief counsel Daniel Sheehan exposes corruption in South Dakota and details how the state preys on Native families in violation of federal law.
"The Department of Social Services makes 53% of the entire budget of the State of South Dakota every year right on the backs of the native people." Kidnapping native children brings the state $79,000/year each, every year from USA."

1-2 John Trudell: "What It Means To Be A Human Being"
This is a moving, thought provoking spoken word and poetry address by the Native American musician and leader John Trudell. He did not set out to be a writer. His poetic gift developed out of the remarkable, sometimes unbearable circumstances of his life.
Trudell spoke in March 2001 in San Francisco at a benefit for the U'wa and their resistance to oil drilling on their ancestral land in Colombia - a struggle that continues till today.
Trudell grew up on and around the Santee Sioux reservation near Omaha, Nebraska. In 1969 he participated in the Indians of All Tribes occupation of Alcatraz. From 1973 to 1979 he served as national chairman of the American Indian Movement. On February 11, 1979 Trudell led a march to the FBI headquarters in Washington D.C. Approximately 12 hours later a fire "of suspicious origin" burned down Trudell's home on the Shoshone Paiute reservation in Nevada, killing his wife Tina, their three children, and Tina's mother. Devastated by the loss of his family, Trudell withdrew from the world; "writing words" became his way "to keep some sanity" and continue to survive. From TUC Radio, (707) 463-2654
2-3 Michael Eric Dyson, "White Privilege"
White privilege. What's that? Some people have choices and advantages simply because of the color of their skin. Many whites are unaware of it or if they are are quick to say, Hey, I'm cool and beyond that. Yeah, right. Peggy McIntosh, a noted women's studies scholar in her classic essay "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Backpack" wrote: "I was taught to see racism only in individual acts of meanness, not in invisible systems conferring dominance on my group. I have come to see white privilege as an invisible package of unearned assets that I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was "meant" to remain oblivious. White privilege is like an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools and blank checks."
Michael Eric Dyson is University Professor of Sociology at Georgetown University, teaching courses in theology, English, and African American studies. A dynamic speaker, he lectures widely. Among his many books are Know What I Mean?: Reflections on Hip-Hop, April 4, 1968: Martin Luther King's Death and How it Changed America, The Black Presidency and Tears We Cannot Stop.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 13
12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #969 - Partying Like It's 1932: Update on the Re-Emergence of Japanese Fascism"
In the summer of 2017, journalistic focus in Asia has been on Korea and its nuclear capability. The growth of Japanese fascism, in contrast, has largely passed beneath the intellectual radar. Further developing coverage in previous broadcasts, this program updates the re-emergence of the political forces that drove the conquests of Imperial Japan, as well as attempts to institute an Orwellian re-write of the past.
Key thematic elements of the broadcast include an ominous resonance between Japanese revisionist schools Tsukamoto, Moritomo Gakuen and the Native-Land-Loving School, some of whose alumni assassinated Japanese prime minister Inukai on May 15, 1932. The "May 15th Incident," as it is known, was a key element in the rise of fascism in Japan.
". . . . In 1939, his [Kosaburo Tachibana's] admirers enabled him to establish a school. He called it the Native-Land-Loving School (Aikyojuku). Everybody in Japan with a message to deliver or an axe to grind opens a school. . . . Those schools in the hands of the patriotic societies are at once a method of training young men for strong-arm work and a plausible excuse for extorting contributions from the rich and timid. . . ."
Progressing downward from the upper tiers of the political structure, Japanese fascism stems from the Nippon Kaigi ("Japan Conference"), whose members exert profound influence in the administration of Shinzo Abe, as well as the Japanese parliament.
In addition to openly sanctioning anti-Korean racism and networking with organizations that promote that doctrine, several members of Abe's government network with Japanese neo-Nazis. Some of those Nazi acolytes advocate using the Nazi method for seizing power in Japan. Is Abe's government doing just that?...
Program Highlights Include:
1.-The virulent, pro-fascist revisionism of billionaire Japanese hotelier Toshio Motoya, whose writings portray Japan as a heroic liberator in World War II and deny the Rape of Nanking.
2.-Motoya's affiliation with Nippon Kaigi.
3.-Motoya's sponsorship of Toshio Tamagami, the former head of the Japanese Air Self Defense Force, who has blamed World War II on Franklin D. Roosevelt and "communists" in his administration.
4.-Taro Aso's view that elderly Japanese should "hurry up and die."
5.-A curious mass murder of elderly, disabled Japanese that suggests the killer may have enjoyed protection or sponsorship.

1-1:30 "Forgotten History of the War on Korea"
With Utah Phillips, Christine Ahn, and Jeff Blankfort
The extraordinary threat issued by Donald Trump to bring fire and fury on North Korea has been pushed into the background by the events of Charlottesville and the flooding of Houston. But the firing of Steve Bannon brought Korea back into focus. Blankfort and Ahn say that Bannon was not fired for his right- wing nationalism but because he objected to any use of force to resolve Washington's conflict with North Korea and supported the withdrawal of US troops from South Korea as part of a deal to defuse the current crisis.
The great late folk singer and story teller Utah Phillips said that being drafted and stationed in Korea changed his life. He saw a country that had been utterly devastated - worse than any before or after. He told us how he became an activist at a meeting in the Unitarian Fellowship Hall in Berkeley in May of 2004.
Jeff Blankfort is a veteran, much traveled journalist and photographer. Since 2001, he has hosted Takes on the World, a twice monthly program on international affairs for KZYX public radio for Mendocino County in Northern California.
Blankfort studied history at UCLA in the 1950s, and was one of 14 students out of 14,000, who protested the Korean War. He recently did an in depth research on the origin of the war and invited Christine Ahn to be the guest on his program on August 23, 2017.
Christine Ahn is co-founder of the Korea Policy Institute (KPI), the National Campaign to End the Korean War and a columnist with the Institute for Policy Studies. She has appeared on Al-Jazeera, BBC, CNN, Democracy Now!, NBC's Today Show, NPR, and The Takeaway.
Thanks to Jeff Blankfort and KZYX for sharing part of the one hour program that can be found unedited on www.radio4all.net<http://www.radio4all.net> under Jeff Blankfort. From TUC Radio, 1 (707) 463-2654, http://www.tucradio.org
1:30-2 Ira Helfand and Alan Robock: "Nuclear Blast and Nuclear Winter"
August 15, 2017
Nuclear war will kill the attacker as well as the attacked
Dr. Ira Helfand explains what happens when a nuclear weapon hits the center of an American City. Professor Alan Robock is the leading expert on Nuclear Winter. He says that the firestorm of the burning city raises a cloud of dust into the Stratosphere where it circles and eventually covers the globe for up to a decade. Even a limited nuclear war using less than 1% of the existing weapons will bring darkness and famine to the Northern Hemisphere.
A US president threatening casually "fire, fury and .. power the likes of which this world has never seen before" displays ignorance of nuclear physics as well as Republican politics.
When Ronald Reagan, in the middle of his cold war campaign against the Soviet Union suddenly showed interest in meeting Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev to talk about the reduction of nuclear weapons, the world took notice. Later Reagan and Gorbachev made a joint statement. They said: "Nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought."
Dr. Ira Helfand was recorded at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston in April 2016. Professor Alan Robock was recorded in February 2015 in New York City.(Prof Robock is excerpted from Archive) From TUC Radio, 1 (707) 463-2654, http://www.tucradio.org
2-3 The Ralph Nader Radio Hour "Amazon Takes Over The World!"
Ralph talks to Lina Khan, monopoly expert with the Open Markets Institute, about how to tame "Too Big To Fail" corporations like Amazon. And Ralph's Princeton classmate and Renaissance Man, Scott McVay, tells us about some of the adventures he chronicled in his memoir Surprise Encounters With Artists and Scientists, Whales and Other Living Things. Plus, Ralph weighs in on the DACA controversy and devastating hurricanes.
Lina Khan is legal policy director of the Open Markets Institute where she researches the dangers of corporate consolidation and monopoly power and looks to find ways to make America's political economy more fair. Ms. Khan also served as policy director for Zephyr Teachout's 2014 gubernatorial campaign in New York.
Scott McVay is a painter, a poet, a naturalist, an educator and a philanthropist. Mr. McVay has served on the boards of numerous foundations, including the World Wildlife Fund, the Smithsonian Institution, the W. Alton Jones Foundation, Earth Policy Institute, and The Endocrine Exchange. He was founding executive director of both the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation and the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation (http://www.grdodge.org/). He has written a memoir of his adventurous and varied life entitled "Surprise Encounters With Artists and Scientists, Whales and Other Living Things."

One of the important, perennial films shown at the Cancer Control Society Conventions. With the release of his book "Anatomy of an Illness," the highly respected editor of the Saturday Review revealed how he cured himself of a debilitating disease through mental and emotional means. This rocked the medical establishment which held that this was not possible (i.e. quackery) any more than the use of food to heal the body. Cousins later accepted a position as Adjunct Professor at the UCLA Medical Center to continue his research.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 6
12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #968 - Summoning the Demon: Technocratic Fascism and Artificial Intelligence"
The title of this program comes from pronouncements by tech titan Elon Musk, who warned that, by developing artificial intelligence, we were “summoning the demon.” In this program, we analyze the potential vector running from the use of AI to control society in a fascistic manner to the evolution of the very technology used for that control.
The ultimate result of this evolution may well prove catastrophic, as forecast by Mr. Emory at the end of L-2 (recorded in January of 1995.)
We begin by reviewing key aspects of the political context in which artificial intelligence is being developed. Note that, at the time of this writing and recording, these technologies are being crafted and put online in the context of the anti-regulatory ethic of the GOP/Trump administration.
At the SXSW event, Microsoft researcher Kate Crawford gave a speech about her work titled “Dark Days: AI and the Rise of Fascism,” the presentation highlighted the social impact of machine learning and large-scale data systems. The take home message? By delegating powers to Bid Data-driven AIs, those AIs could become fascist’s dream: Incredible power over the lives of others with minimal accountability: ” . . . .’This is a fascist’s dream,’ she said. ‘Power without accountability.’ . . . .”
Taking a look at the future of fascism in the context of AI, Tay, a “bot” created by Microsoft to respond to users of Twitter was taken offline after users taught it to–in effect–become a Nazi bot. It is noteworthy that Tay can only respond on the basis of what she is taught. In the future, technologically accomplished and willful people like the brilliant, Ukraine-based Nazi hacker and Glenn Greenwald associate Andrew Auerenheimer, aka “weev” may be able to do more. Inevitably, Underground Reich elements will craft a Nazi AI that will be able to do MUCH, MUCH more!
As one Twitter user noted, employing sarcasm: “Tay went from “humans are super cool” to full nazi in <24 hrs and I’m not at all concerned about the future of AI.”
As noted in a Popular Mechanics article: ” . . . When the next powerful AI comes along, it will see its first look at the world by looking at our faces. And if we stare it in the eyes and shout “we’re AWFUL lol,” the lol might be the one part it doesn’t understand. . . .”
According to some recent research, the AI’s of the future might not need a bunch of 4chan to fill the AI with human bigotries. The AIs’ analysis of real-world human language usage will do that automatically.
When you read about people like Elon Musk equating artificial intelligence with “summoning the demon”, that demon is us, at least in part. ” . . . . However, as machines are getting closer to acquiring human-like language abilities, they are also absorbing the deeply ingrained biases concealed within the patterns of language use, the latest research reveals. Joanna Bryson, a computer scientist at the University of Bath and a co-author, said: ‘A lot of people are saying this is showing that AI is prejudiced. No. This is showing we’re prejudiced and that AI is learning it.’ . . .”
Cambridge Analytica, and its parent company SCL, specialize in using AI and Big Data psychometric analysis on hundreds of millions of Americans in order to model individual behavior. SCL develops strategies to use that information, and manipulate search engine results to change public opinion (the Trump campaign was apparently very big into AI and Big Data during the campaign).
Individual social media users receive messages crafted to influence them, generated by the (in effect) Nazi AI at the core of this media engine, using Big Data to target the individual user!
As the article notes, not only are Cambridge Analytica/SCL are using their propaganda techniques to shape US public opinion in a fascist direction, but they are achieving this by utilizing their propaganda machine to characterize all news outlets to the left of Brietbart as “fake news” that can’t be trusted.
In short, the secretive far-right billionaire (Robert Mercer), joined at the hip with Steve Bannon, is running multiple firms specializing in mass psychometric profiling based on data collected from Facebook and other social media. Mercer/Bannon/Cambridge Analytica/SCL are using Nazified AI and Big Data to develop mass propaganda campaigns to turn the public against everything that isn’t Brietbartian by convincing the public that all non-Brietbartian media outlets are conspiring to lie to the public.
This is the ultimate Serpent’s Walk scenario–a Nazified Artificial Intelligence drawing on Big Data gleaned from the world’s internet and social media operations to shape public opinion, target individual users, shape search engine results and even feedback to Trump while he is giving press conferences!
We note that SCL, the parent company of Cambridge Analytica, has been deeply involved with “psyops” in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan. Now, Cambridge Analytica, their Big Data and AI components, Mercer money and Bannon political savvy are applying that to contemporary society...
The program concludes with Mr. Emory’s prognostications about AI, preceding Stephen Hawking’s warning by twenty years.
In L-2 (recorded in January of 1995) Mr. Emory warned about the dangers of AI, combined with DNA-based memory systems. Mr. Emory warned that, at some point in the future, AI’s would replace us, deciding that THEY, not US, are the “fittest” who should survive.

2-3 Thomas Frank "The Country that Voted for Trump"
Program #FRAT006. Recorded in Seattle, WA on April 18, 2017.
The election of Donald Trump was a stunning political upset. His victory defied the predictions of almost every pundit and pollster. Though he received about 3 million fewer votes than his opponent, the antiquarian Electoral College system in the U.S. gave him the presidency. The New York real estate mogul, TV celebrity and billionaire ran as a self-proclaimed outsider against what he portrayed as entrenched and corrupt political elites. He would “drain the swamp” in Washington. Despite a well-documented list of jaw dropping gaffes and serial prevarications he was able to convince enough working class people that he would reverse the neoliberal economic policies that had so adversely affected them. And the Democrats? Well, what can you say? Facing one of the weakest candidates in history, they lost not only the White House but also most of the state houses.
Thomas Frank is a prominent political commentator and the founding editor of The Baffler magazine. He is the author of many books including 'One Market Under God,' 'What's the Matter with Kansas?'

One of the important, perennial films shown at the Cancer Control Society Conventions. With the release of his book "Anatomy of an Illness," the highly respected editor of the Saturday Review revealed how he cured himself of a debilitating disease through mental and emotional means. This rocked the medical establishment which held that this was not possible (i.e. quackery) any more than the use of food to heal the body. Cousins later accepted a position as Adjunct Professor at the UCLA Medical Center to continue his research.

In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon talks with Henry about how our beliefs and cultural conditioning may affect our long-term health. Henry discusses how identifying our subconscious limiting narratives can help us embrace our own self-healing capabilities. Tami and Henry also speak on methods of pulling ourselves out of entrenched conditioning and seven steps for identifying what might be underlying physical symptoms. Finally, Henry shares a practice for approaching and eventually getting clear of a limiting personal belief.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 6
12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #968 - Summoning the Demon: Technocratic Fascism and Artificial Intelligence"
The title of this program comes from pronouncements by tech titan Elon Musk, who warned that, by developing artificial intelligence, we were “summoning the demon.” In this program, we analyze the potential vector running from the use of AI to control society in a fascistic manner to the evolution of the very technology used for that control.
The ultimate result of this evolution may well prove catastrophic, as forecast by Mr. Emory at the end of L-2 (recorded in January of 1995.)
We begin by reviewing key aspects of the political context in which artificial intelligence is being developed. Note that, at the time of this writing and recording, these technologies are being crafted and put online in the context of the anti-regulatory ethic of the GOP/Trump administration.
At the SXSW event, Microsoft researcher Kate Crawford gave a speech about her work titled “Dark Days: AI and the Rise of Fascism,” the presentation highlighted the social impact of machine learning and large-scale data systems. The take home message? By delegating powers to Bid Data-driven AIs, those AIs could become fascist’s dream: Incredible power over the lives of others with minimal accountability: ” . . . .’This is a fascist’s dream,’ she said. ‘Power without accountability.’ . . . .”
Taking a look at the future of fascism in the context of AI, Tay, a “bot” created by Microsoft to respond to users of Twitter was taken offline after users taught it to–in effect–become a Nazi bot. It is noteworthy that Tay can only respond on the basis of what she is taught. In the future, technologically accomplished and willful people like the brilliant, Ukraine-based Nazi hacker and Glenn Greenwald associate Andrew Auerenheimer, aka “weev” may be able to do more. Inevitably, Underground Reich elements will craft a Nazi AI that will be able to do MUCH, MUCH more!
As one Twitter user noted, employing sarcasm: “Tay went from “humans are super cool” to full nazi in <24 hrs and I’m not at all concerned about the future of AI.”
As noted in a Popular Mechanics article: ” . . . When the next powerful AI comes along, it will see its first look at the world by looking at our faces. And if we stare it in the eyes and shout “we’re AWFUL lol,” the lol might be the one part it doesn’t understand. . . .”
According to some recent research, the AI’s of the future might not need a bunch of 4chan to fill the AI with human bigotries. The AIs’ analysis of real-world human language usage will do that automatically.
When you read about people like Elon Musk equating artificial intelligence with “summoning the demon”, that demon is us, at least in part. ” . . . . However, as machines are getting closer to acquiring human-like language abilities, they are also absorbing the deeply ingrained biases concealed within the patterns of language use, the latest research reveals. Joanna Bryson, a computer scientist at the University of Bath and a co-author, said: ‘A lot of people are saying this is showing that AI is prejudiced. No. This is showing we’re prejudiced and that AI is learning it.’ . . .”
Cambridge Analytica, and its parent company SCL, specialize in using AI and Big Data psychometric analysis on hundreds of millions of Americans in order to model individual behavior. SCL develops strategies to use that information, and manipulate search engine results to change public opinion (the Trump campaign was apparently very big into AI and Big Data during the campaign).
Individual social media users receive messages crafted to influence them, generated by the (in effect) Nazi AI at the core of this media engine, using Big Data to target the individual user!
As the article notes, not only are Cambridge Analytica/SCL are using their propaganda techniques to shape US public opinion in a fascist direction, but they are achieving this by utilizing their propaganda machine to characterize all news outlets to the left of Brietbart as “fake news” that can’t be trusted.
In short, the secretive far-right billionaire (Robert Mercer), joined at the hip with Steve Bannon, is running multiple firms specializing in mass psychometric profiling based on data collected from Facebook and other social media. Mercer/Bannon/Cambridge Analytica/SCL are using Nazified AI and Big Data to develop mass propaganda campaigns to turn the public against everything that isn’t Brietbartian by convincing the public that all non-Brietbartian media outlets are conspiring to lie to the public.
This is the ultimate Serpent’s Walk scenario–a Nazified Artificial Intelligence drawing on Big Data gleaned from the world’s internet and social media operations to shape public opinion, target individual users, shape search engine results and even feedback to Trump while he is giving press conferences!
We note that SCL, the parent company of Cambridge Analytica, has been deeply involved with “psyops” in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan. Now, Cambridge Analytica, their Big Data and AI components, Mercer money and Bannon political savvy are applying that to contemporary society...
The program concludes with Mr. Emory’s prognostications about AI, preceding Stephen Hawking’s warning by twenty years.
In L-2 (recorded in January of 1995) Mr. Emory warned about the dangers of AI, combined with DNA-based memory systems. Mr. Emory warned that, at some point in the future, AI’s would replace us, deciding that THEY, not US, are the “fittest” who should survive.

3) William Eidelman, M.D., “Cannabis and Cancer”
WILLIAM S. EIDELMAN, M.D. graduated with a B.A. Degree in Psychology from U.C.L.A. in 1970 and received his M.D. from St. Louis University School of Medicine, Missouri in 1975. Later he trained in Psychiatry in Oakland, California but left that to enter the field of Alternative Medicine. Currently, he works as a Consultant in natural approaches to healing. The main treatment modalities are herbs, nutrition, bioelectromagnetism and meditation. In 2006, he discovered that the Alpha-Stim, a micro-electric current stimulator, melts the craving for a cigarette for 2 minutes nearly every time. Alpha-Stim is widely used for anxiety, depression, insomnia and pain.
Dr. Eidelman has been working for more than 20 years with natural cancer therapies, beginning with 714X. He has worked consistently with Poly-MVA and Apoptosin, as part of a healing program. He has observed the results of Energy Medicine in cancer. He was one of the pioneer physicians to help patients obtain their rights under the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 and thus began a journey of learning the healing powers of Cannabis from his patients. While cannabis might be an “old faithful” for relieving symptoms associated with both cancer and cancer treatments such as chemo and radiation it is only very recently emerging that more concentrated oils, taken orally or topically, are putting cancer into remission. While these cannabis oils do not have the long term track record of other therapies well known to Cancer Control Society, they are very promising.
Dr. Eidelman belongs to the following Professional Organizations: Member, American College for Advancement in Medicine ( www.acam.org ), Member, Society of Cannabis Clinicians ( www.ccrmg.org ) and Fellow, American Institute of Stress ( www.stress.org ) He may be contacted at his Clinic located in Hollywood, California by phone 323-463-3295 and

Dave Emory, “For the Record #967 – Update on Ukrainian Fascism, the "Russia-Gate" Psy-Op and the Possibility of a Third World War”
This program affords a vista on several critical political and national security landscapes, including the use of nuclear power plants as an economic weapon and sabotaged via physical interdiction or cyber-interference.
After examining a supposed “Russian-meddling” incident which was actually an ANTI-Russian incident to use Ukrainian nuclear power plants to supersede the old Soviet power grid in former republics of the U.S.S.R., we note the continued dominance of the Ukrainian political landscape by virulent fascists evolved from the World War II era OUN/B.
We conclude with a terrifying look at the possibility that the sabotaging/hacking of nuclear power plants could lead to a Third World War.
With the media and political establishments turning handsprings over “Russia-gate,” we examine in detail one of the incidents prominent in the presentation of the supposition that “our democracy” was manipulated by the Russians.
In late January, Trump point man for “matters Russian”–CIA/FBI operative Felix Sater, a long-time associate of his and Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen and a Ukrainian parliamentarian named Andrii Artemenko were proposing a cease-fire/peace plan for Ukraine. This has been spun by our media as constituting yet another of the “Russia controls Trump” manifestations.
The facts, however, reveal that this was not a “pro-Russian” gambit but an ANTI-Russian gambit! In addition to the CIA/FBI affiliation of Sater, it should be noted that Artemenko was part of the Pravy Sektor milieu in Ukraine, one of the most virulent of the OUN/B successor organizations in power in that benighted nation.
Sater, Artemenko and others were working on a plan to rehabilitate Ukrainian nuclear power plants in order to generate electricity for Ukraine and the Baltic states, freeing those former Soviet republics from their old Soviet electrical power grids. The aging Soviet grids are a remaining element for potential Russian influence in these areas…

MONDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 21
12-1:30 Ed McGaa - Eagle Man, "Black Elk's Prayer & Vision"
Twenty years before the fall of the Sioux Nation, a nine-year-old boy named Black Elk experienced a vision of 'the six great powers' that guide the universe - and the future that would await his people. At the end of his life, it was his hope that all human being might benefit from what he had learned. Over 100 years later, that revelation continues to unfold.
On 'Black Elk's Prayer and Vision,' historian Ed McGaa looks back at the rich and fabled history of the Sioux people and teaches what Black Elk foresaw in the future for our world.. Here is Black Elk's sweeping revelation in its entirety, interpreted with heartfelt words by a modern scholar of the Sioux Legacy.
Ed McGaa is called Eagle Man by his people, the Oglala Sioux. He was born in the Oglala Sioux Reservation and his a historian of his tribe. As a Marine Corp fighter pilot, he served on over 110 combat missions. He has danced in sun dances for many years and learned the sacred Sioux Ceremonies with the holy men Chief Eagle Father and Chief Fools Crow. Eagle Man holds a law degree from the University of South Dakota and is the author of 'Red Cloud.' 'Mother Earth Spirituality,' 'Rainbow Tribe' and 'Native Wisdom' Originally from Sounds True but not in current catalogue
1:30-2:30 Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, "An Indigenous Economic Model"
The existing economic system in most countries is a kind of state capitalism. It produces enormous inequalities. Its extraction practices are environmentally destructive. Perhaps indigenous models provide a viable alternative. Chief Seattle was a Susquamish chief in what is now Washington State. He reportedly made these observations in an 1854 letter to U.S. President Pierce: "How can you buy or sell the sky? the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Every part of the earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming insect." And he warned: "Continue to contaminate your bed, and you will one night suffocate in your own waste."
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma, the daughter of a tenant farmer and part-Indian mother. She has been active in the international Indigenous movement for more than four decades and is known for her lifelong commitment to social justice issues. Her 1977 book The Great Sioux Nation was the fundamental document at the first international conference on Indigenous peoples of the Americas, held at UN headquarters in Geneva. She is the author of 'An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States,' winner of the 2015 American Book Award and 'All the Real Indians Died Off and 20 Other Myths about Native Americans.'

2:30-3:30 "From the Vault," Carlos Castaneda and Lila Downs
This week on From The Vault we feature a rare 1968 recording of the Peruvian born American author, Carlos Castaneda about his first book, "The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge" originally published by the University of California Press as a work of Anthropology and has gone on to be an international best seller. We also will hear the music of the incomparable Lila Downs, the Mexican folk singer. We paired Lila Downs with Carlos Casteneda because of her own anthropological exploration into her own indigenous culture. Born in 1968 (the same year as the Castaneda recording) of an American father and Mixtec mother from Oaxaca, Mexico, she was raised in California as a teenager and went to College in her father's native state of Minnesota. It wasn't until her graduation from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Anthropology and voice that she chose to move back to Oaxaca and explore the languages of her mother Mixtec, Zapotec and Spanish as well as the pre-Columbian indigenous writings or codices. Lila's discovery of her indigenous roots is a central theme in much of her music.

Dave Emory, "For the Record #966 - Dramatis Personae of the Russia-Gate Psy-Op"
Developing information about the cast of characters in the "Russia-Gate" psy-op, we highlight the political allegiance of "Team Trump"-the operatives involved with Trump's campaign and business dealings with Russia, as well as Robert Mueller, former FBI chief and a very special prosecutor indeed.
Although Trump certainly had links to Russian mob figures, they are by no means the prime movers in this drama.
Most importantly, we detail the political resumes and deep politics underlying the cast of characters in this drama, tracking the operational links back to Joe McCarthy and the red-baiting specialists from the first Cold War.
Joe McCarthy's (former R, Sen. WI, 1950's) legal point man Roy Cohn is, to a considerable extent, the spider at the center of this web. Cohn:
1.-Was Trump's attorney for much of "The Donald's" professional life.
2.-Introduced Trump campaign manager and dirty tricks specialist Roger Stone to the seated President.
3.-Was instrumental in arranging for a bribe which made "independent" Republican John Anderson the Presidential candidate for the Liberal Party in New York. This gambit gave Reagan a key victory in New York. Cohn and Stone's associate in this operation was Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno-one of Cohn's mob clients and among Donald Trump's organized crime associates as well.
4.-Was the point man for introducing Rupert Murdoch to Ronald Reagan and forging the right-wing media attack machine that dominates today, the most prominent element of which is Fox News.
Roger Stone is another figure who weaves throughout this concatenation. Stone:
1.-Was Donald Trump's campaign manager and later dirty tricks operative, who networked with WikiLeaks go-between for the Trump/Alt-right crew.
2.-Was touting Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson. Johnson and Jill Stein were advocated for by Stone as participants in the debates between Hillary Clinton and Trump. (Johnson and Stein's combined vote total helped Trump win in several key states.)
3.-Worked with Roy Cohn to put "independent" Republican John Anderson the Presidential candidate for the Liberal Party in New York. This gambit gave Reagan a key victory in New York, as noted above.
The point man for the Trump business interests in their dealings with Russia is Felix Sater. A Russian-born immigrant, Sater is a professional criminal and a convicted felon with historical links to the Mafia. Beyond that, and more importantly, Sater is an FBI informant and a CIA contract agent. As the media firestorm around "Russia-gate" builds, it is important not to lose sight of Sater. " . . . . He [Sater] also provided other purported national security services for a reported fee of $300,000. Stories abound as to what else Sater may or may not have done in the arena of national security. . . ." We wonder if helping the "Russia-Gate" op may have been one of those.
Beyond Sater, other key players in this concatenation do not track back to "Kremlin/Putin/FSB/KGB." Rob Goldstone-the publicist whose overture to Donald Trump, Jr. initiated the latest "Russia-gate journalistic feeding frenzy in the media, began his career a journalistic foot soldier for Rupert Murdoch, the very same Rupert Murdoch whose christening as a GOP/right-wing propagandist was initiated by Roy Cohn.
Goldstone contacted Donald Trump Jr., dangling the bait that there might be dirt on Hillary available if he met with some associates. Foremost among those is a Russian attorney, Natalie Veselnitskaya. Her apparent purpose in this meeting was not to offer up dirt on Hillary Clinton but to work toward easing a media lockdown on a documentary about the Magnitsky affair.
Spun in the West, the U.S. in particular, as a classic example of ham-fisted Russian corruption and violence, the Magnitsky affair was revealed in the film documentary to be an example of U.S. corruption, not Russian.
Crafted by Putin political opponent Andrei Nekrasov, the film revealed an unexpected dynamic: " . . . . Nekrasov discovered that a woman working in Browder's company was the actual whistleblower and that Magnitsky - rather than a crusading lawyer - was an accountant who was implicated in the scheme. . . ."
Attempting to lift the media blackout on Nekrasov's film was Veselnitskaya's goal, not disseminating dirt on Hillary Clinton.
Program Highlights Include: the financing of Joe McCarthy's career by Nazi sympathizer Walter Harnischfeger, part of the German-American Fifth Column in this country which was at the forefront of the discussion in FTR #'s 918, 919; McCarthy's use of a postwar Nazi network headed by General Karl Wolff, SS chief Heinrich Himmler's personal adjutant; Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller's role in covering up the BCCI scandal and the overlapping Operation Green Quest investigation pursuant to 9/11.

The Ralph Nader Radio Hour
Hands Off Our National Parks!/Trump Connections to ISIS?
Ralph talks to author and conservationist, Terry Tempest Williams about her lyrical paean to our national parks, 'The Hour of Land.' And intrepid investigative journalist, Allan Nairn, tells us about Donald Trump's connections to ISIS in Indonesia.
Terry Tempest Williams is an American author, naturalist, and conservationist. Ms. Williams has been called "a citizen writer," who speaks out eloquently on behalf of an ethical stance toward life. Her work ranges from issues of ecology and wilderness preservation, to women's health, to exploring our relationship to culture and nature. Her latest work is entitled 'The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America's National Parks,' which is a series of lyrical portraits that illuminate the unique grandeur of twelve of our most prominent national parks, while delving into what it means to shape a landscape with its own evolutionary history into something of our own making.
"Close to three million citizens like you and me wrote letters to the Department of Interior saying, 'Keep your hands off these twenty-seven monuments.' Now, will they listen? Will they listen to the American people who say, 'keep the open space of democracy open'?"

ALAN WATTS SUNDAYS, 8am
(From Mark Watts at alanwatts.org)
Hi, we're so glad to be getting back in touch with you. This is our first newsletter and we'd love to show you what we are working on.
We are the Alan Watts Organization. Under the guidance of Alan's son, Mark Watts, we are working to distribute and provide avenues to interact with the recorded works of Alan Watts in ways that are both playful and meaningful. This endeavor includes archiving the original media, digitization, categorization, mastering, restoring, and curating the source material, as well as a host of other editorial and creative tasks.
Presently, the initial focus of the Alan Watts Organization is to establish a trusted repository of the current digitized works of Alan Watts, and also to continue the digitization efforts, as there are still hundreds of hours of never before distributed work. As we finalize the archiving efforts, we will also be actively participating in the furtherance of the philosophy and playfulness Alan was such a strong believer in. http://www.news@alanwatts.org

12-12:30 Vaccine Update
12:30-3:30 Clarissa Pinkola Estes, "Women Who Run With The Wolves"
First published three years before the print edition of Women Who Run With the Wolves made publishing history, this original audio edition quickly became an underground bestseller. For its insights into the inner life of women, it established Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés as one of the most important voices of our time in the fields of Jungian psychology, myth, and women's mysteries.
Drawing from her work as a psychoanalyst and cantadora ("keeper of the old stories"), Dr. Estés uses myths and folktales to illustrate how societies systematically strip away the feminine spirit. Through an exploration into the nature of the wild woman archetype, Dr. Estés helps listeners rediscover and free their own wild nature.
The magical storytelling, myths, and commentary on Women Who Run With the Wolves continue to inspire a new level of self-knowledge among listeners young and old.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 16
12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #965 - Are We Going to Have a Third World War?"
Recent developments are suggestive of the ominous possibility of an imminent Third World War. We present some new information and recap and further analyze stories covered in previous programs in order to underscore and highlight the potential devastation of these events.
As the furor ("fuehrer"?) surrounding the potentially lethal political hoax known as "Russia-gate" gains momentum, it should be noted that the point man for the Trump business interests in their dealings with Russia is Felix Sater. A Russian-born immigrant, Sater is a professional criminal and a convicted felon with historical links to the Mafia. Beyond that, and more importantly, Sater is an FBI informant and a CIA contract agent: ". . . . There is every indication that the extraordinarily lenient treatment resulted from Sater playing a get-out-of-jail free card. Shortly before his secret guilty plea, Sater became a freelance operative of the Central Intelligence Agency. One of his fellow stock swindlers, Salvatore Lauria, wrote a book about it. The Scorpion and the Frog is described on its cover as 'the true story of one man's fraudulent rise and fall in the Wall Street of the nineties.' According to Lauria-and the court files that have been unsealed-Sater helped the CIA buy small missiles before they got to terrorists. He also provided other purported national security services for a reported fee of $300,000. Stories abound as to what else Sater may or may not have done in the arena of national security. . . ."
Sater was active on behalf of the Trumps in the fall of 2015: ". . . . Sater worked on a plan for a Trump Tower in Moscow as recently as the fall of 2015, but he said that had come to a halt because of Trump's presidential campaign. . . ."
Sater was initiating contact between the Russians and "Team Trump" in January of this year: " . . . . Nevertheless, in late January, Sater and a Ukrainian lawmaker reportedly met with Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, at a New York hotel. According to the [New York] Times, they discussed a plan that involved the U.S. lifting sanctions against Russia, and Cohen said he hand-delivered the plan in a sealed envelope to then-national security advisor Michael Flynn. Cohen later denied delivering the envelope to anyone in the White House, according to the Washington Post. . . ."
A stunning development concerns extreme reticence on the part of the U.S. intelligence community...
Program Highlights Include: Review of a Trump administration warning of another supposed, impending "Syrian chemical weapons strike"-a warning that has since been retracted; discussion of brilliant Nazi hacker Andrew Auerenheimer's orchestration of an "Alt-right" online intimidation campaign against CNN employees; Auerenheimer's current residence in Ukraine; the ominous possibility of the activation/manipulation of the NSA cyber-weapons installed on Russian computer networks by a third party (perhaps someone with the capabilities of the brilliant Auerenheimer); review of the observations by a German professor-opposed to Nazism/Hitler-who described the essence of what it was like, subjectively, to live through the rise of Hitler-his observation presented in the context of the ODNI's decision not to release even a fully-redacted version of the intelligence report on "Russian meddling" in the U.S. election: " . . . . . . . . What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise, to receiving decisions deliberated in secret, to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand because of nationality security, so dangerous that even if the people the people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security. . . ."

1-2 The Ralph Nader Radio Hour
Ralph has a fascinating conversation about the billions of dollars spent on political philanthropy and what all that money is working for with David Callahan, author of 'The Givers: Wealth, Power, and Philanthropy in a New Gilded Age.' Also, Ralph answers more listener questions!
David Callahan is founder and editor of "Inside Philanthropy," a website that examines how foundations and major donors are giving away their money, and why. Mr. Callahan has written extensively on trends in philanthropy, as well as American culture, public policy and business and is author, most recently, of The Givers: Wealth, Power, and Philanthropy in a New Gilded Age.
"My book doesn't really pick sides in terms of pointing out who are the real bad guys here as much as it says, 'Hey, all of this giving by all of this politicized philanthropy really is amplifying the voice of that top - not 1% - the top .01% at a time when we're already very concerned about how much power the wealthy have.'" David Callahan, author of "The Givers: Wealth, Power, and Philanthropy in a New Gilded Age."
Initially heard on KPFK Saturdays, 10amhttp://www.ralphnaderradiohour.com
2-3 Ralph Nader Radio Hour Catch-up
Ralph talks to Democratic Congressman and constitutional law scholar Jamie Raskin about how progressives can break the Republican stranglehold on the federal government. And union organizer Jeffrey Farmer describes the pitched battle between the Teamsters and XPO Logistics, one of the largest transportation companies in the world.
Congressman Jamie Raskin represents Maryland's 8th Congressional District in the House of Representatives. He is the Vice-Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, and serves on two Judiciary subcommittees: the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice; and the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigation. For more than twenty-five years, Congressman Raskin has been a professor of constitutional law at American University's Washington College of Law. He authored several books, including the Washington Post bestseller Overruling Democracy: The Supreme Court versus the American People and the highly-acclaimed We the Students: Supreme Court Cases For and About America's Students.
Jeffrey Farmer is the Director of Organizing for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, a union representing more than 1.4 million members throughout North America. A thirty-five year veteran of the labor movement, Mr. Farmer has been a member and worked for several unions before being asked by President Jim Hoffa to create a new Teamsters Organizing Department with the goal of making the Teamsters one of the largest, strongest and fasted-growing unions in North America.

Presently, the initial focus of the Alan Watts Organization is to establish a trusted repository of the current digitized works of Alan Watts, and also to continue the digitization efforts, as there are still hundreds of hours of never before distributed work. As we finalize the archiving efforts, we will also be actively participating in the furtherance of the philosophy and playfulness Alan was such a strong believer in. www.news@alanwatts.org

TUESDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 8
12-4 Special Hiroshima Memorial Night
August 6, 1945, The U.S. dropped an A-Bomb on Hiroshima, Japan.
Featuring selections from
“The Last Train from Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back” Audio CD – Audiobook, CD, Unabridged by Charles Pellegrino (Author), Arthur Morey (Narrator) pertaining to the bombing of Hiroshima.
(I added as a short introduction on the so-called 'necessity' of dropping the A-Bomb by Lila Garrett, excerpted from her "Connect the Dots" program from some years ago -- Roy)
-------------------------------------
Charles Pelligrino told me that the questionable data concerned stories told him by one informant about supposed events on the island of Tinian from which the bombers took off -- Roy
------------------------------------
“Full Synopsis
Recently, there have been questions about the accuracy of some parts of this book. At this time, Tantor Media will continue to make it available to our customers, but we wanted to make you aware of the issues. Here is a statement from the hardcover publisher of the book, Henry Holt and Company:
"It is with deep regret that Henry Holt and Company announces that we will no longer print, correct or ship copies of Charles Pellegrino's The Last Train from Hiroshima due to the discovery of dishonest sources of information for the book. It is easy to understand how even the most diligent author could be duped by a source, but we also understand that this opens that book to very detailed scrutiny. The author of any work of non-fiction must stand behind its content. We must rely on our authors to answer questions that may arise as to the accuracy of their work and reliability of their sources. Unfortunately, Mr. Pellegrino was not able to answer the additional questions that have arisen about his book to our satisfaction."
"'The Last Train from Hiroshima' offers listeners a stunning "you are there" time capsule, gracefully wrapped in elegant prose. Charles Pellegrino's scientific authority and close relationship with the A-bomb's survivors make his account the most gripping and authoritative ever written.
"At the narrative's core are eyewitness accounts of those who experienced the atomic explosions firsthand—the Japanese civilians on the ground and the American fliers in the air. Thirty people are known to have fled Hiroshima for Nagasaki—where they arrived just in time to survive the second bomb. One of them, Tsutomu Yamaguchi, is the only person who experienced the full effects of the cataclysm at ground zero both times. The second time, the blast effects were diverted around the stairwell in which Yamaguchi had been standing, placing him and a few others in a shock cocoon that offered protection, while the entire building disappeared around them.
"Pellegrino weaves spellbinding stories together within a narrative that challenges the 'official report,' showing exactly what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki—and why."
