FUND DRIVE NEWS
Our August fund drive totaled $291,080, short of our $300,000 goal or 'close but not cigar.' One problem was we lost electricity for 3 hours on Friday which should have made that difference. Stand by for a probable mini-drive in October.
BEHIND THE SCENES "PACIFICA 2015 AUDIT COMPLETED"
http://pacificainexile.org/archives/2458
(Strangely enough, this was accomplished against the constant and intense opposition of the privatizers and ideologues who have sought to destroy listener-sponsored radio during their years in the majority. The Yea vote won by 11 to 5. None of the Nay votes came from KPFK elected board members. -RT)

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.

For the latest information, Dr. Griffin his published a new book a couple of weeks ago: "Bush and Cheney: How They Ruined America and the World" Aug 16, 2017.

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.

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."
