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)

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.

'From the Vault' Produced by Mark Torres.

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."
Initially heard on KPFK Saturdays, 10am
