TUESDAY NIGHT, JULY 4

12-12:30 Vaccine Update

12:30- 3:30 Deena Metzger, "This Body My Life"
Deena Metzger's life is a lesson in healing for all women who have suffered from serious illness. On This Body, My Life, Deena shares the story of her recovery from a radical mastectomy, and her profound discovery that creativity and the imagination can heal.

Her own healing began, she tells us, with the simplest of acts: she brought her typewriter into the hospital with her. Looking inward, writing constantly through the pain, she saw past society's obsession with death. She saw her illness centered, not in her body, but in the world we live in. How can our bodies be healthy when our planet is not? Through the language of metaphor, we come to understand the links between life-threatening illness and the toxic environment we inhabit.

This story of tremendous courage and self-reliance is a blessing for every person faced with illness. Deena shows that each small gesture we make, each healing relationship we form, helps heal us all. While This Body, My Life concerns the challenge of cancer, it is not about slipping quietly into death. It is about awakening into life-through creativity, love, and courage. Includes a live lecture, "The Practice of Creativity and Healing," and a detailed question-and-answer session about Deena's life, art, and work. Her latest book is "A Rain of Night Birds" http://deenametzger.net/

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, JULY 5

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #960 - Update on the High Profile Hacks"
As indicated by the title, this broadcast updates the high-profile hacks, at the epicenter of "Russia Gate," the brutal political fantasy that is at the core of American New Cold War propaganda and that may well lead to World War III.

(Other programs dealing with this subject include: FTR #'s 917, 923, 924, 940, 943, 958, 959.)

As we have noted in many previous broadcasts and posts, cyber attacks are easily disguised. Perpetrating a "cyber false flag" operation is disturbingly easy to do. In a world where the verifiably false and physically impossible "controlled demolition"/Truther nonsense has gained traction, cyber false flag ops are all the more threatening and sinister.

Now, we learn that the CIA's hacking tools are specifically crafted to mask CIA authorship of the attacks. Most significantly, for our purposes, is the fact that the Agency's hacking tools are engineered in such a way as to permit the authors of the event to represent themselves as Russian.

This is of paramount significance in evaluating the increasingly neo-McCarthyite New Cold War propaganda about "Russian interference" in the U.S. election.

We then highlight the recent conclusions of the French cyberintelligence chief (Guillaume Poupard) and his warnings about the incredible dangers of cyber-misattribution-the ease with which any random hacker could carrying out a spear-phishing attack, and his bafflement at the NSA's recent Russian attribution to the spear-phishing French election hacks.

Characteristic of the disingenuous, propagandistic spin of American news media on Putin/Russia/the high profile hacks is a New York Times article that accuses Putin of laying down a propaganda veil to cover for alleged Russian hacking, omitting his remarks that-correctly-note that contemporary technology easily permits the misattribution of cyber espionage/hacking.

NOTE: Ralph Nader Radio Hour will be on at 2am tonight.


1-2 Chris Hedges - "Stopping Fascism"
One dictionary defines fascism as, "A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism." The first fascist party was founded by Mussolini in Italy in 1915. Its etymology is traced to the Latin word meaning a bundle of rods tied around an axe, an ancient Roman symbol of authority. Today, the term, for many, immediately conjures up horrific images of storm troopers. But contemporary fascism has undergone a major wardrobe change. Could it happen here? Some see elements of it now with what is called populism, America First, coupled with a largely imagined past, Make America Great Again. The media are denounced as "the enemy of the people," a phrase Stalin used. Critics of the Leader are bullied and insulted.

Chris Hedges is an award-winning journalist who has covered wars in the Balkans, the Middle East and Central America. He writes a weekly column for Truthdig.org and is a senior fellow at The Nation Institute. He is the author of many books including 'Empire of Illusion,' 'Death of the Liberal Class,' 'The World As It Is' and 'Wages of Rebellion.'

2-3 The Ralph Nader Radio Hour
Dean Baker/Standing Up For Children

Ralph talks to renowned economist, Dean Baker, about the state of "free trade" in the era of Trump; and original Nader's Raider, Robert Fellmeth, joins us to advocate for a group of people who have virtually no say in the political process, children.


Dean Baker is an economist widely recognized for being one of the first to have predicted the crash of the U.S. housing bubble as early as five years before it actually happened. He is the co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington DC, which seeks to make economic issues accessible to the general public in order to promote meaningful debate on those issues. Dr. Baker is one of the leading critics of the so-called "free-trade" deals like NAFTA and the TPP and is the author of several books, including Rigged: How Globalization and the Rules of the Modern Economy were structured to Make the Rich Richer.

"We still have all sorts of barriers that make it extremely difficult for... a foreign trained doctor - even trained to very high standards... to practice in the United States. So we protect to a large extent our most highly paid workers. It was only the manufacturing workers, the less highly paid, less educated workers that were quite deliberately put in competition with their low-paid counterparts in the developing world." Economist Dean Baker on the contradictions of "Free Trade"

After helping Ralph investigate the Federal Trade Commission as one of those original "Nader's Raiders," Robert Fellmeth became an attorney for the Center for the Study of Responsive Law, Ralph's office in DC. In 1980, as a University of San Diego Law School faculty member, he founded that school's Center for Public Interest Law . He is also the founder of the Children's Advocacy Institute, one of the nation's premiere academic, research, and advocacy organizations working to improve the lives of all children and youth, with special emphasis on reforming the child protection and foster care systems and improving outcomes for youth aging out of foster care.

3-3:30 Michael Parenti, "The Supremely Political Court"
Archival, updated to reflect Trump admin.

In February, 2017 the name of Michael Parenti and references to his 23 books and countless lectures are flooding the Internet. It appears that his writings on history, the demise of US democracy, capitalism and the rule of the one percent, fascism, patriotism and US First-ism that span the decades from the late 1960s to 2014 were meant to be read and used today.

Michael Parenti was born into a working class Italian family in East Harlem, New York City. He went on to receive his Ph.D. in political science at Yale in 1962. His academic career was cut short by his dismissal after he was arrested for protesting the US war on Vietnam. Parenti became an independent scholar, lecturer and author.

The 12 part TUC Radio series "Democracy What Went Wrong" with recordings of Parenti's lectures was produced in 1995. Parenti comments on major institutions such as the military, the CIA, media, corporations, universities, police, and the Supreme Court, offering suggestions on how to regain democratic control. We chose to rebroadcast Michael Parenti's extraordinary history and analysis of the Supreme Court since that court and a Trump nominee dominate the media in early 2017.

Over 20 years ago Parenti already pointed to the role of the court in concentrating wealth in the top 1 percent, and the way in which the Supreme Court expanded the power of corporations and laid the groundwork for what later became the Citizens United ruling of 2009. And Parenti shows how the Supreme Court began to give powers to the President in matters of foreign policy and national security that neither Congress nor the constitution had granted. He said: "... by Judicial Fiat the President could now do whatever he wanted in the absence of specific legislative prohibitions."

As of the date of this recording it still remains to be seen how the executive order issued by Donald Trump on January 27barring citizens from seven Muslim majority countries from entering the US for 90 days, all refugees for 120 days and indefinitely preventing refugees from Syria from coming to the US will be decided by the current Supreme Court of 2017. Given the analysis made by Michael Parenti 20 years ago the outcome is uncertain. Michael Parenti's website: http://www.michaelparenti.org From TUC Radio, http://www.tucradio.org 1 (707) 463-2654.

12-1 Alan Watts, "A Philosophy of War" part 2 of 4
"The highest adepts of Japanese Bushido, (The way of the warrior) came through the sheer logic of their craft to what was called the 'no-sword' school of swordsmanship, following Lao-tzu's idea that 'the best soldier is not soldierly, the best fighter is not ferocious.' An application of this logic to conflicts of all kinds, including modern military strategy. (Pentagon please note)" (AW)
