12-1:00 Joe Dominguez, “Transforming Your Relationship With Money”
‘A Nine-Step Program for Achieving Financial Integrity, Intelligence, and Independence’ Parts 3 of 4

Are you making a living? Or as Joe Dominguez puts it, are you making a dying? Dominguez was a Wall Street analyst who walked away from a high-powered financial career in 1969, retiring at age 30. Afterward he lived comfortably on about $7,000 per year, while donating a small fortune to various charities.

'Transforming Your Relationship with Money' is his life’s work—a revolutionary guide that will help you find peace with the concept of money, stop consuming things you don’t really need, and start contributing to the goals and ideals you believe in.

Joe Dominguez achieved financial independence not through a get-rich-quick scheme, but through a path of inquiry that led him to question the very nature of our relationship with money. Here he illuminates the equation between money and our most precious resource—our life energy—so that a powerful new definition of money emerges. In nine simple steps he teaches you how to consciously track, evaluate, and direct the flow of money—without compromising your principles or most cherished dreams.

“The foolish person wants more money, and more of the things money can buy,” Dominguez says. “The wise person wants enough money, and more of the things money can’t buy: health, happiness, love, and peace of mind.”

Now the personal money management course that brings this wisdom to consciousness is open to every listener, with Transforming Your Relationship with Money.

Session 7: Steps to Financial Independence
Step 1: THE PAST
A 9 step plan. Making peace with the past. Finding your net worth.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 11

12-1 Dave Emory, “For the Record #973: They Are All Bound on the Wheel Part 2: Reflections on Charlottesville”

Mr. Emory has how finished and published AFA #39: “The World Will be Plunged into an Abyss . . . .” Mr. Emory VERY much hopes listeners and readers will closely examine, record and disseminate this information. It may well be what the Nazi future will look like, up to a point.

OUN/B World War II Ukrainian prime minister Jaroslav Stetsko and then Vice-President George H.W. Bush
The title of the program comes from a Robinson Jeffers poem, reproduced at the beginning of this description. It sums up Mr. Emory’s feelings about Charlottesville and much of what has transpired since the ascension of the Trump administration.

With the mainstream media, the so-called “alternative media,” the so-called “progressive sector” and the GOP beating their breasts over Donald Trump’s predictably equivocal reaction to the violence in Charlottesville (Virginia), we highlight the profound complicity with all of these elements with the very white supremacist, Nazi and Neo-Confederate movements that are at the foundation of the events in question.

Particularly grotesque is the righteous posturing of the GOP, whose members have scrambled to go “on record” decrying racism and Nazism, intoning that such things are “un-American,” or words to that effect. In fact, the GOP is joined at the hip with the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations, formed in 1943 by Adolf Hitler as the Committee of Subjugated Nations. A consortium of Eastern and Central European fascist groups, the ABN became a major player in the GOP’s ethnic outreach organization.

The marriage of the GOP and the ABN was effected under the auspices of the Crusade for Freedom, a dual-sided covert operation with the GOP/ABN nexus at the root of a domestic political operation and the combat support afforded guerrillas from the OUN/B and other Eastern European fascist fighting by the Office of Policy Coordination (which morphed into the CIA’s Directorate of plans): ” . . . . There is a very high correlation between CIA domestic subsidies to Fascist ‘freedom fighters’ during the 1950’s and the leadership of the Republican Party’s ethnic campaign groups. The motive for the under-the-table financing was clear: Nixon used Nazis to offset the Jewish vote for the Democrats. . . .

. . . . In 1952, Nixon had formed an Ethnic Division within the Republican National Committee. Displaced fascists, hoping to be returned to power by an Eisenhower-Nixon ‘liberation’ policy signed on with the committee. In 1953, when Republicans were in office, the immigration laws were changed to admit Nazis, even members of the SS. They flooded into the country. Nixon himself oversaw the new immigration program. [This is a Republican pro-immigration program–D.E.] . . .”

The key figures in the CFF became the cream of the Reagan administration. ” . . . . As a young movie actor in the early 1950s, Reagan was employed as the public spokesperson for an OPC front named the ‘Crusade for Freedom.’ Reagan may not have known it, but 99 percent for the Crusade’s funds came from clandestine accounts, which were then laundered through the Crusade to various organizations such as Radio Liberty, which employed Dulles’s Fascists. Bill Casey, who later became CIA director under Ronald Reagan, also worked in Germany after World War II on Dulles’ Nazi ‘freedom fighters’ program. When he returned to New York, Casey headed up another OPC front, the International Rescue Committee, which sponsored the immigration of these Fascists to the United States. Casey’s committee replaced the International Red Cross as the sponsor for Dulles’s recruits. . . .

. . . . It was [George H.W.] Bush who fulfilled Nixon’s promise to make the ‘ethnic emigres’ a permanent part of Republican politics. In 1972, Nixon’s State Department spokesman confirmed to his Australian counterpart that the ethnic groups were very useful to get out the vote in several key states. Bush’s tenure as head of the Republican National Committee exactly coincided with Laszlo Pasztor’s 1972 drive to transform the Heritage Groups Council into the party’s official ethnic arm. The groups Pasztor chose as Bush’s campaign allies were the émigré Fascists whom Dulles had brought to the United States. . . . ”

We note that the GOP “ethnics” are inextricably linked with the Gehlen spy outfit–itself an extension of the Third Reich’s national security establishment–and the Bormann flight capital network, an underground perpetuation of the Third Reich.

We note that the same hypocrites–GOP, mainstream media, “alternative” media and the so-called “progressive” sector–who stridently postured against racism/fascism after Charlottesville have remained dutifully silent about the re-instatement of the OUN/B in Ukraine, as well as that regime’s resonance with the Aryan Nations milieu in the U.S.

The hypocrisy of the GOP in their mealy-mouthed condemnations of racism and Trump’s reaction to it exceed even the marrow-deep hypocrisy of the mainstream media and the so-called “progessive sector,” which have spent years lionizing the very “Alt-right” forces that manifested in Charlotesville. Those very “Alt-right” forces we saw in Charlottesville–including the Neo-Confederate movment–are embodied in Eddie Snowden, WikiLeaks, Greenwald and Pierre Omidyar, as discussed in–among other programs–FTR #’s 755, 756, 888, 889, 917.

Concluding the program, we reviewed information about Bernie Sanders and his right-wing connections...

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortíz –“Native America: From Genocide to Resistance”
The centuries-long genocidal policies of the U.S. settler-colonial regime has largely been omitted from history. The ferocity and savagery of the U.S. attack on Native Americans is usually turned on its head. The colonists were the victims. They had to defend themselves against the heathens. The sheer hatred for indigenous people manifested in genocide. George Washington called them “beasts.” Jefferson declared, “We will destroy them all.” The notorious Indian killer Andrew Jackson said, “They must disappear.” Jump to Barack Obama who pronounced “America was not born a colonial power.” Really? Native Americans are still here. They have survived. The coalition of many nations resisting the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock was inspiring. Though the pipeline is being built the resistance generated a consciousness and awareness about the situation of indigenous people and land and water issues.

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 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.’ From Alternative Radio, 1 (800) 444-1977, http://www.alternativeradio.org

Harvard Sociologist David Riesman gives a talk on Alexis De Tocqueville’s thoughts on American Democracy

Harvard Sociologist David Riesman gives a talk on Alexis De Tocqueville’s thoughts on American Democracy

Many people today long for that better America, when the Economy was purring, American Schools were the envy of the WORLD, the Middle Class exploded with livable wage jobs. Think back to that time when Middle class Americans could afford homes in the suburbs, and higher education, summer family vacations were the norm. These people usually refer to the Post World War II Middle Class expansion culminating in a decade usually referenced when people today refer to the good ol days.
In The Pacifica Radio Archives we have a series of lectures from America s pre eminent sociologist of the the1950 s David Riesman, a Harvard sociologist who spoke about this new post World War II phenomenon. In this first lecture, Riesman talks about Alexis de Tocqueville s thoughts on America. Tocqueville you will remember is the French diplomat and philosopher who took a trip throughout America in the early 1830 s, and wrote his masterpiece work Democracy in America published in 1835.

Maybe if we take a look back at the good Ol days when the good ol days were happening, we might learn something today.

Here is David Riesman from November of 1958 with his talk “de Tocqueville And American Democracy.”

12:30-3:30 Susan Chernak McElroy, “Animal Wisdom”
‘True Stories of the Animals Who Change Our Lives’

A dog gives its life to protect a baby from a fire. An abused woman learns about courage from a horse. Who are these animals that change – and even save – our lives? On ‘Animal Wisdom,’ bestselling author Susan McElroy brings to life the amazing ways that pets, working animals, and creatures of the wild touch and transform the human world.

An animal love since childhood, McElroy has worked in kennels, zoos, veterinary clinics, humane societies, stables, and anywhere else she could get close to animals. Sharing stories from her own life and the lives of others, McElroy portrays animals not as playthings for our amusement, but as intuitive, loyal friends capable of great empathy and daring courage. All the more remarkable because it is true, ‘Animal Wisdom’ takes you on an ‘incredible journey’ where you will hear about: Animals responsible for miraculous healings of humans; how animals inspire our lives, giving new direction and hope; spiritual teachings of animals in the face of death. Unforgettable for its cast of characters – four legged and otherwise – ‘Animal Wisdom’ is a vivid and moving tribute to the animals we love and learn from.

Susan Chernak McElroy is the author of the national bestselling book ‘Animals as Teachers and Healers.’ Diagnosed with terminal cancer in 1987, she survived – by following the dignified, joyful example of her dog, Kesha, who had died ten years earlier of the same type of cancer. McElroy and her husband live in Oregon, where they share their farm with miniature donkeys, llamas, chickens, geese, cats, dogs, and a cockatoo. She has since written ‘Animal Grace: Entering a Spiritual Relationship with Our Fellow Creatures,’

‘Animals as Guides for the Soul: Stories of Life-Changing Encounters,’
‘Heart in the Wild: A Journey of Self-Discovery with Animals of the Wilderness.’
‘All My Relations: Living with Animals As Teachers and Healers,’ ‘Why Buffalo Dance,’ ‘Unforgettable Mutts,’ and more. Audio originally from Sounds True but not in current catalogue.

12-1 Dave Emory, “For the Record #971 – Nazi’s in New Orleans”

Introduction: This broadcast is something of a “prequel” to the next two programs, both dealing with Charlottesville.

What the media have termed “Alt-Right” and the author calls “the radical right” were present at Charlottesville and participants in the assassination of JFK.

Numerous programs and articles on this website have dealt with Nazi involvement with the assassination of JFK, from paramilitary American Nazi elements to individuals and institutions overlapping the Reinhard Gehlen spy milieu.

In this program, we excerpt a recent, massive volume General Walker and the Murder of President Kennedy by Jeffrey H. Caufield M.D. NB: For a seasoned researcher, this is a useful and important book, however it MUST be handicapped–the author is dismissive of the [by now recorded fact] that elements of the intelligence community were involved in the killing. Of course, they were.

Notwithstanding that significant flaw, the book features a treasure trove of information about Nazi and fascist connections to the assassination of JFK. A veteran researcher can–and should–easily take the information from Caufield’s book and collate it with the intelligence community elements with which the “radical right” individuals and institutions are affiliated.

Although not coterminous by any means, what Caufield terms “the radical right” and U.S. intelligence are profoundly connected. We suspect that overlapping groups comprising what Caufield terms “the radical right” constitute an “American Gladio.”

This hypothetical relationship suggests the possibility of a domestic version of “Operation Stay Behind” and its Italian component, “Operation Gladio”. The above were NATO operations that utilized extreme right and fascist elements as potential guerilla forces to fight against communists in the event of either a successful Soviet takeover of Western Europe (an extreme improbability), or the greater likelihood of a popular Communist takeover of a major Western European country. In practice, Gladio resulted in a program of terrorist acts (bombings, kidnappings and assassinations) directed against the left. (Many of those acts were actually blamed on the left, in order to discredit it in the eyes of the public.)

Disturbed by the alleged lack of “backbone” demonstrated by American military personnel during the Korean War, American strategic thinkers undertook to indoctrinate the American public with a practically militant, anti-Communist perspective. These leaders feared that, in the event of a protracted nuclear face-off with the Soviets, lack of American political resolve could result in the United States “blinking” and backing down in such a confrontation.

In 1958, the Eisenhower administration issued a National Security Council directive authorizing the military to engage in a program of political indoctrination of military personnel and (more importantly) the civilian population as well. The goal of this directive was to alter the political views of the American people. The constitutional implications of this directive could not be exaggerated. The bulk of the broadcast examines evidence that suggests that, as a result of this NSC directive, the national security establishment began utilizing far-right and fascist groups in order to realize the desired ideological transformation. Mr. Emory suggests that these networks may very well have been utilized in the American political assassinations of the 1960s and early 1970s, as well as domestic intelligence operations against the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements.

We begin our analysis with New Orleans DA Jim Garrison’s 1967 letter to Lord Bertrand Russell, in which he noted the Nazi associations of many of the people involved with the JFK assassination.

Next, we excerpt text discussing David Ferrie’s Nazi musings and associations.

In future programs, we will take up the issue of what Fort Sill Operations Command Officer Glenn Pinchback referred to as a “Neo-Nazi plot to enslave America in the name of anti-Communism” and “a neo-Nazi plot gargantuan in scope.”

1-2 The Ralph Nader Radio Hour: Clean Water/Throwing Rocks At The Google Bus

Ralph talks everything water, including how cities can maintain clean water in the face of natural disasters with George Hawkins, CEO of the municipal utility, DC Water. And media maven, Douglas Rushkoff, author of Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus, talks about how to maintain your power and humanity in the age of digital monopolies.

George Hawkins serves as Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of DC Water (https://www.dcwater.com/), which is a public utility that distributes drinking water and collects and treats wastewater for more than 672,000 residents and 17.8 million annual visitors in the District of Columbia. DC Water also provides wholesale wastewater treatment services for 1.6 million people in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland, and Fairfax and Loudoun counties in Virginia. They are provide high quality water services in a safe, environmentally friendly, and efficient manner.
Recommended by George Hawkins:
The Water Environment Federation https://www.wef.org/
The American Water Works Association https://www.awwa.org/

“In fact, bottled water is less regulated than drinking water coming out of the tap. That doesn’t mean it’s cleaner or not cleaner. It just means you’re not sure of that, and there’s not any reason to guarantee it.” George Hawkins: CEO of DC Water

Douglas Rushkoff is a prolific writer, documentarian, and lecturer whose work focuses on human autonomy in a digital age. He is the author of fifteen bestselling books on media, technology, and society, including 'Program or Be Programmed,' 'Present Shock and Coercion: Why We Listen to What “They” Say.' He has made such award-winning PBS Frontline documentaries as “Generation Like,” “Merchants of Cool,” and “The Persuaders,” and is the author of the graphic novels 'Testament and Aleister' & 'Adolf.' He also hosts his own podcast called “Team Human”. And his latest book is entitled 'Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus: How Growth Became the Enemy of Prosperity.'

“We’re taking the smartest kids out of Stanford and teaching them what’s called ‘captology’ in the labs of BJ Fogg how to elicit these Pavlovian responses to every bell and swipe and text and button on our smartphones, so that every swipe we make on our smartphone, it gets smarter about us as we get dumber about it.”

2-3 Richard Wolff, “Capitalism vs. Socialism”
Recorded in New York, NY on August 09, 2017.

“The great radical historian Howard Zinn once told me, half in jest, that one of the greatest disasters to befall socialism was when the Soviet Union put it in the official name of the country: The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. I asked him to explain and he said, The USSR, which had little to do with socialism, it was an authoritarian state, wanted to capitalize on the almost universal good name that socialism had. And the capitalist countries played along by smearing socialism and conflating it with the USSR. If you expressed interest in socialism the response would be: “Why don’t you move to a gulag in Siberia? Today, because of growing wealth and income inequality and the Bernie Sanders campaign, he got more than 13 million votes, there is a resurgence of interest in socialism. Many young people are fed up with predatory capitalism and are looking for alternatives. Worker-owned and operated coops are springing up. These initiatives can proliferate and grow. And as Howard Zinn always said, authentic socialism must be small “d” democratic.”

Richard Wolff is Professor of Economics Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and currently a visiting professor at the New School in New York. The New York Times calls him “America’s most prominent Marxist economist.” He is the author of numerous books including ‘Democracy at Work’ and ‘Occupy the Economy’ with David Barsamian.

2-3 "From the Vault," -- Noam Chomsky
On this weeks 'From The Vault' we go back to one of recordings from 1992, with a talk by leading intellectual Noam Chomsky called 'Creeping Fascism. ' Noam Chomsky 1992.

Remember that in 1992, America was just finishing a cycle of 12 years of Republican leadership in the White House, which ended with George H.W. Bush's Desert Storm Middle East Military Operation that started it all.

Now that we have the context. Let's hear what this humble MIT Linguistics professor had to say about the growing trend of the consolidation of power and wealth into the hands of the few.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 20

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #970 - Partying Like It's 1932, Part 2: The Japanese Deep State"

Recapitulating key thematic elements of the previous program-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.

Progressing downward from the upper tiers of the political structure, Japanese fascism stems from the Nippon Kagai ("Japan Conference"), whose members exert profound influence in the administration of Shinzo Abe, as well as the Japanese parliament.

Fundamental to an understanding of the dynamics underlying the Japanese deep state is awareness of the relationship between the powerful Japanese corporations, the zaibatsu, U.S.-based transnational corporations and the international cartel system. FTR #905 examines this relationship at considerable length.

Another important element in this dynamic is Golden Lily-the systematic looting of Asia by Japan in World War II and the use of the billions in recovered gold to fund the re-institution of fascist infrastructure in Japan, U.S. covert operations and the clandestine buttressing of financial and governmental institutions around the world. (FTR #'s 427, 428, 446, 451, 501, 509, 688, 689 deal with the subject of the Golden Lily program.)

With much of the world's attention focused on the blustering between Kim Jong-Un and Kim Jong-Trump, the fact that Japan has had a clandestine nuclear weapons program since the 1960s has gone unreported:

" . . . . The United States deliberately allowed Japan access to the United States' most secret nuclear weapons facilities while it transferred tens of billions of dollars worth of American tax paid research that has allowed Japan to amass 70 tons of weapons grade plutonium since the 1980s, a National Security News Service investigation reveals. . . . The NSNS investigation found that the United States has known about a secret nuclear weapons program in Japan since the 1960s, according to CIA reports.

. . . . The Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations permitted sensitive technology and nuclear materials to be transferred to Japan despite laws and treaties preventing such transfers. Highly sensitive technology on plutonium separation from the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site and Hanford nuclear weapons complex, as well as tens of billions of dollars worth of breeder reactor research was turned over to Japan with almost no safeguards against proliferation. Japanese scientist and technicians were given access to both Hanford and Savannah River as part of the transfer process.

While Japan has refrained from deploying nuclear weapons and remains under an umbrella of U.S. nuclear protection, NSNS has learned that the country has used its electrical utility companies as a cover to allow the country to amass enough nuclear weapons materials to build a nuclear arsenal larger than China, India and Pakistan combined. . . .

. . . . That secret effort was hidden in a nuclear power program that by March 11, 2011- the day the earthquake and tsunami overwhelmed the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant - had amassed 70 metric tons of plutonium. Like its use of civilian nuclear power to hide a secret bomb program, Japan used peaceful space exploration as a cover for developing sophisticated nuclear weapons delivery systems. . . ."

After reviewing Sasakawa and Kodama, especially their links to the Unification Church, the program notes that Abe's grandfather, Nobosuke Kishi was Kodama's cellmate in Sugamo prison. Kishi also signed Japan's declaration of war against the U.S. " . . . . During World War II, he was vice minister of munitions and minister of commerce and industry, actively involved in slave labor. Along the way, he made a personal fortune in side-deals with the zaibatsu. . . .In 1948, when his release from prison was purchased by Kodama, Kishi began organizing the financial base of the LDP, using Kodama's black gold and injections of M-Fund cash. . . ."

The program concludes with review of the profound connections of the Japanese zaibatsu, the deep state associated with that, and American diplomats who rebuffed a suit by Allied POW's to get compensation for having been used as Japanese slaves.

1-2 The Ralph Nader Radio Hour: "Amazon Takes Over the World"
(Scheduled but not played last week)
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."
Initially heard on KPFK Saturdays, 10am

2-3 Ralph Nader Radio Hour, "The Existential Threat of Big Tech"

Ralph spends the whole hour with journalist Franklin Foer, author of 'World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech,' about how the Big Four, Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon are attempting to domi nate every aspect of our lives and minds. Plus, we get Ralph's take on the Bernie Sanders' single-payer bill, and he answers more listener questions.

Franklin Foer is a national correspondent for The Atlantic and a fellow at the New America Foundation. For seven years, he edited The New Republic magazine. He is the author of 'How Soccer Explains the World,' which has been translated into 27 languages and won a National Jewish Book Award. The Daily Beast called Mr. Foer one of America's 'most influential liberal journalists.' His latest work and the subject of our conversation today is entitled: 'World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech.'

"The magical qualities of these devices and inventions can distract us from some of the dark sides. And the biggest dark side is that all these new technologies are not just automating upper body strength. They're not just letting us plow fields. They're not just letting us get around in a more efficient sort of way. These are intellectual technologies. They stand between us and information. They want to create virtual realities that we'll inhabit. They create artificial intelligences, which they hope will be an extension of our own intelligences. And that makes these companies unusually powerful."
