MONDAY NIGHT JUNE 26


12-1 Caroline Miller Adams, "Getting Grit"

Caroline Miller is one of the world's foremost experts in positive psychology and the author of books such as 'Creating Your Best Life' and 'My Name Is Caroline.' With Sounds True, she has recently published 'Getting Grit: The Evidence-Based Approach to Cultivating Passion, Perseverance, and Purpose.' In this episode of 'Insights at the Edge,' Tami Simon and Caroline discuss the concept of "grit"-the ability to stay passionate and persistent in one's long-term goals even in the face of considerable hardship. Caroline explains the different kinds of grit, including "false grit" that encourages stubbornness or flatters the ego. Finally, Tami and Caroline talk about the startling fact that we don't become happy when we are successful; rather, we become successful because we're happy first.

1:00-2: Linda Graham: "Cultivating Response Flexibility: Neuroscience in Psychotherapy"

Linda Graham is a trainer, life coach, author, and ardent researcher in the fields of personal growth and the life of the mind. She's the author of 'Bouncing Back: Rewiring the Brain for Maximum Resilience,' and with Sounds True will be one of the teachers in the 'Leading Edge of Psychotherapy' online course. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon and Linda talk about recent findings in neuroscience that psychotherapists (and their patients) will find useful in the treatment of shame and anxiety. Linda explains her view of resilience-what it means to be resilient, how to cultivate the quality, and how the brain's prefrontal cortex is "the CEO" of resilience. Finally, Linda and Tami discuss the intersection of meditation and psychotherapy, including how to reconcile their contradictory aspects through the lens of modern neuroscience.

2-3 "From the Vault," "1984" by George Orwell Part 10 of 13

This week on From the Vault, continuing one of the most important dystopian novels written in modern history, George Orwell's classic 'Nineteen Eighty-Four.'

The entire book was read on-air by longtime Pacifica morning show host Charles Morgan in 1975. Morgan was joined by legendary voiceover artist June Foray, widely known for her work in Disney and Warner Brothers animated productions - in particular as the voice of Rocky in the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon. This week we present part of this thirteen-part quintessential Pacifica recording.

From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project, funded in part by an award from the GRAMMY Foundation and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission at the National Archives and Records Administration, and past grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ford Foundation, and the American Archive funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, along with the generous support of Pacifica Radio Listeners. We also thank our partners and collaborators at the Pop-Up Archive, Amara, Other Minds Archives, George Blood Audio, and the California Audio Visual Preservation Project. Reading produced by Paul Vangelisti. 'From the Vault' Produced by Mark Torres.

3-3:30 The Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature
"City of Joy: From Pain to Power"

Women are coming together to heal in community, with hands in the soil. In one of the most broken places on the planet, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Playwright and feminist Eve Ensler's life-and-death struggle with cancer transformed her. At the heart of it was her reconnection with nature. She expanded her work to end violence against women and girls to include restoring nature and our relationship with nature. With master permaculturist Brock Dolaman, she tells the hopeful story of the Congo's V-Day Farm." From the Bioneers, 1 (877) bioneer, http://www.bioneers.org

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, JUNE 28

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #959: Update on the New Cold War and the Nazification of Ukraine"

In a long series of programs and posts over the last four years, we have chronicled the re-institution of the OUN/B World War II-era fascists as the foundational element of the Ukrainian government. Of particular significance in that regard is the Nazification of the Ukrainian intelligence service, the SBU.

Among the recent developments in the operations of the OUN/B-related elements in Ukraine is the posting of a call for the eradication of Ukraine's Jews.

The call for a new Holocaust in Ukraine was made by Vasily Vovk - a senior officer in the SBU, former head of the SBU's investigative unit and head of the SBU's investigation into the MH17 probe. (Vovk's pronouncement casts further doubt over the MH17investigation.)

The SBU is also implicated in the bombing assassination of journalist Pavel Sheremet.

Next, we cover the latest attempt by Volodomyr Viatrovych and Ukraine's Institute of National Memory to purify Ukraine of any memories that might portray "nationalist" groups like the UPA (the military wing of the OUN/B) as a bunch of Nazi collaborators: Ukraine is investigating a 94-year-old Jewish WWII hero over the death of a UPA propagandist/Nazi collaborator back in 1952 while he was working for the NKVD at the recommendation of Viatrovych as part of a package of new decommunisation laws.

Viatrovych heads the institute for National Memory, the Ukrainian government agency that is implementing the total perversion of Ukraine's World War II history. The excesses of his department are being created under the aegis of "decommunisation."

"Decommunisation" isn't just going to cover investigations of Soviety-era incidents. As the following interview grimly describes, everyone is a potential target in Ukraine. And "decommunisation", or simply being associated with anything 'Russian' at all, is enough to bring violence or worse.

We then highlight an article about the anti-Roma pogrom that was just implemented by a small village and apparently approved of by the rest of the government. The article was written by a journalist who traveled to that region and queried the locals about their views of the Roma. Almost everyone he talked to hate the Roma with a passion. It also turns out most of them had little to no actual contact with their fellow Roma citizens, at least not knowingly since many Roma hide their ethnicity due to rampant job discrimination.

Most locals simply parroted the anti-Roma lessons they were taught as children. Anti-Roma Lessons that are even found in Ukrainian textbooks. It comes as no surprise that the Azov Battalion is joining in on creating a climate of fear and intimidation.

Next, we note that Ukraine is set to be the world's third largest food exporter some time in the next decade due to its incredibly productive arable land. This is undoubtedly a major factor in the push to incorporate Ukraine into the Western sphere of influence.

1-2 The Ralph Nader Radio Hour
'Hitler's American Model' & 'Pluralist Commonwealth'

James Q. Whitman is the Ford Foundation Professor of Comparative and Foreign Law at Yale Law School. His subjects are comparative law, criminal law, and legal history. His books include 'Harsh Justice, The Origins of Reasonable Doubt,' 'The Verdict of Battle' and the book we're going to be discussing today, 'Hitler's American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law.'

"It's regarded as deeply unacceptable for most Germans in most social and intellectual circles to suggest that there was any kind of shared responsibility for the Nazi crimes. Now, I don't think there was any shared responsibility. My concern is with America's responsibility and not with Germany's. My concern is that the Germans will think that I am somehow trying to deflect responsibility for Nazi crimes from the Germans themselves. And that I don't mean to do." James Q. Whitman, author of 'Hitler's American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law'

Gar Alperovitz is an historian, political economist, activist, writer, and government official. In addition to a distinguished career in academia, he is also the president of the National Center for Economic and Security Alternatives and is a co-founder of the Democracy Collaborative, a research institution developing practical, policy-focused, and systematic paths towards ecologically sustainable, community-oriented change and the democratization of wealth. His latest project is called the "Pluralist Commonwealth", which is an economic model that is neither traditional corporate capitalism nor traditional state socialism.

"It's time to build new economic institutions that are democratic but also -critically- give us a new power base as well in the communities around the country." Gar Alperovitz on the New Economy Movement

2-2:30 Richard Grossman - "Dismantling Corporations" (ONE of TWO)
By Maria Gilardin April 4, 2017

Ralph Nader called Richard Grossman the preeminent historian of corporations. In his writings and teaching Grossman warned us that unchecked corporate power would lead to the destruction of democracy. He said that the American revolution was fought less against the King but "against the crown corporations, the Hudson's Bay and East India Corporations." And he believed that it is time to remember that fight and assert sovereignty of the people over corporations and the corporate state.

In this speech Grossman provocatively calls for dismantling "the thousand largest corporations off the face of the earth."

Richard Grossman's research showed him that in the original intent of American revolutionaries corporations did not have rights, they only had privileges, and only those that we the people bestow on them. They were to be limited by a revocable charter that specified what they were allowed to do; it's board and officers were to be fully liable for any harms the corporation did; and they initially had none of the free speech rights that go along with person-hood.

If Richard Grossman were still alive today in 2017 he would be shocked to see that corporations and bankers from Exxon to Goldman Sachs, from General Dynamics to Lockheed Martin, from Wells Fargo to pipeline builder Energy Transfer, no longer are limited to purchasing influence by buying congress people one by one - but now own and run large parts of the government directly.

2:30-3 Richard Grossman - "Dismantling Corporations" (TWO of TWO)
This segment begins with an intriguing archival speech on the history of corporations that TUC Radio recorded in Washington DC. at the 1996 Teach-In organized by the International Forum on Globalization. The segment ends with two important projects Grossman worked on just before his death: A law to criminalize hydro-fracking and corporations as a class or group.

In the Preface to his 1993 pamphlet, 'Taking Care of Business,' Richard Grossman wrote:

"Corporations cause harm every day. Why do their harms go unchecked? How can they dictate what we produce, how we work, what we eat, drink and breathe? How did a self-governing people let this come to pass? - Corporations were not supposed to reign in the United States."


Richard died of cancer on November 22nd, 2011 - he was only sixty-eight. He was one of the lucid people who first described not just the history of corporations but the now global challenge to democracy and personal and state sovereignty that they pose.

3-3:30 Michael Parenti: "Capitalism's Apocalypse"
'Why the rich can't save anybody - not even themselves'

Parenti predicted the financial crisis and said that giant corporate capitalism - by it's very nature - is an apocalyptic system. When unregulated the built in elements of ever increased growth may well bring the whole system down. And he described the growing national debt not as a tragic mistake but as a means to shift ever more money from the tax payers to the financial institutions in the form of interest payments. This speech is an analysis of the many structural flaws of a capitalist system that puts it on a permanent collision course with democracy. www.michaelparenti.org<http://www.michaelparenti.org>

Recorded on August 23, 2008 at the closing reception for Maria Gilardin's art show. This rebroadcast, made in June 2017, is eerily contemporary and lends a historic perspective to current events. www.tucradio.org<http://www.tucradio.org>
