PACIFICA FOUNDATION MISSION STATEMENT: http://www.pacifica.org/about_mission.php


"SOMETHING'S HAPPENING!" ON THE WEB
KPFK can be heard streaming live online at http://www.kpfk.org/ and click on 'Listen Live.' Times are Pacific Time. Program times for "Something's Happening!" are approximate but close and "Monday night" is legally Tuesday morning et seq.


WHAT HAPPENED?
Any program information not included in the program guide - guests, websites, contact information, music and comedy breaks, etc. can be found later at http://www.somethingshappening.com and click on 'what happened?' Thanks to Sha Tahmasebi for redesigning and maintaining the website.


AUDIO ARCHIVES (under repair and reconstruction)
"Something's Happening!" is posted for listening on demand for 60 days after broadcast. The programs are (normally) described on the archives so you can spot the program you are interested in. "Something's Happening!" is not downloadable because many of the programs I play do not belong to me nor to Pacifica, but you can listen any time day or night, weekends and holidays.


'SOMETHING'S HAPPENING! AUDITIONING ON KPFT, HOUSTON, TEXAS
Our sibling station in Texas is now playing a soupçon of the show to see if Texas listeners might go for radio for night people. They will be playing the first 3 hours of our Monday Night show on Tuesday night from 2-5am as an experiment. So stand by for a little extra station identifications and a 'good night' at 3am on Mondays. It's an exciting prospect!


BEHIND THE SCENES
"2015 Audit Completed"
http://pacificainexile.org/archives/2458
(this is actually a major crossroad by the new leadership in turning the stations from planned moribundity and privatization to re-growth under listener-sponsorship - RT)


FUND DRIVE NEWS
We are having a 10 day fund drive from August 22-31.
(There are 28 fewer fundraising days this year compared to last)
We are aiming at $30,000 per day and success will obviate an October drive.
"Fund Drive Schedule" means programs will be on at a time dependent on pledge response and there will be no Community Calendar until we're back to regular programming.

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'?"
Initially heard on KPFK Saturdays, 10am
