12-2:30 Joe Dominguez, “Transforming Your Relationship With Money”
‘A Nine-Step Program for Achieving Financial Integrity, Intelligence, and Independence’ Parts 1 & 2 of 4

Are you making a living? Or as Joe Dominguez puts it, are you making a dying? Dominguez was a Wall Street analyst who walked away from a high-powered financial career in 1969, retiring at age 30. Afterward he lived comfortably on about $7,000 per year, while donating a small fortune to various charities.

Transforming Your Relationship with Money is his life’s work—a revolutionary guide that will help you find peace with the concept of money, stop consuming things you don’t really need, and start contributing to the goals and ideals you believe in.

Joe Dominguez achieved financial independence not through a get-rich-quick scheme, but through a path of inquiry that led him to question the very nature of our relationship with money. Here he illuminates the equation between money and our most precious resource—our life energy—so that a powerful new definition of money emerges. In nine simple steps he teaches you how to consciously track, evaluate, and direct the flow of money—without compromising your principles or most cherished dreams.

“The foolish person wants more money, and more of the things money can buy,” Dominguez says. “The wise person wants enough money, and more of the things money can’t buy: health, happiness, love, and peace of mind.”

Now the personal money management course that brings this wisdom to consciousness is open to every listener, with Transforming Your Relationship with Money.

--Session 1: How Big Is Yours?
A Personal Question. Our education around money. Questioning the paradigm. The nine circle exercise.
--Session 2: Who Won the Industrial Revolution?
Looking at our needs. Defining success. The fulfillment curve.
--Session 3: How Life Works Is How Money Works
The myth of how, do, be. Coming from the ground of being.
-Session 4: A Larger Vision
The importance of vision. A new materialism. Recognition of your life’s purpose.
--Session 5: Your Purpose and Your Purse
From get to give. Intention from within. What is enough?
--Session 6: What is Money?
How do we define money? The truth about money.

2:30-3:30 From The Vault, Selections from the Pacifica Radio Archives:
Harvard Sociologist David Riesman gives a talk on Alexis De Tocqueville’s thoughts on American Democracy

Harvard Sociologist David Riesman gives a talk on Alexis De Tocqueville’s thoughts on American Democracy

Many people today long for that better America, when the Economy was purring, American Schools were the envy of the WORLD, the Middle Class exploded with livable wage jobs. Think back to that time when Middle class Americans could afford homes in the suburbs, and higher education, summer family vacations were the norm. These people usually refer to the Post World War II Middle Class expansion culminating in a decade usually referenced when people today refer to the good ol days.
In The Pacifica Radio Archives we have a series of lectures from America s pre eminent sociologist of the the1950 s David Riesman, a Harvard sociologist who spoke about this new post World War II phenomenon. In this first lecture, Riesman talks about Alexis de Tocqueville s thoughts on America. Tocqueville you will remember is the French diplomat and philosopher who took a trip throughout America in the early 1830 s, and wrote his masterpiece work Democracy in America published in 1835.

Maybe if we take a look back at the good Ol days when the good ol days were happening, we might learn something today.

Here is David Riesman from November of 1958 with his talk “de Tocqueville And American Democracy.”
Produced by Mark Torres.

12-12:30 Vaccine Update
CDC Finds Flu Shot given to pregnant women increases chance of miscarriage (and hides the findings).


12:30-3:30 Susan Chernak McElroy, “Animal Wisdom”
‘True Stories of the Animals Who Change Our Lives’

A dog gives its life to protect a baby from a fire. An abused woman learns about courage from a horse. Who are these animals that change – and even save – our lives? On ‘Animal Wisdom,’ bestselling author Susan McElroy brings to life the amazing ways that pets, working animals, and creatures of the wild touch and transform the human world.

An animal love since childhood, McElroy has worked in kennels, zoos, veterinary clinics, humane societies, stables, and anywhere else she could get close to animals. Sharing stories from her own life and the lives of others, McElroy portrays animals not as playthings for our amusement, but as intuitive, loyal friends capable of great empathy and daring courage. All the more remarkable because it is true, ‘Animal Wisdom’ takes you on an ‘incredible journey’ where you will hear about: Animals responsible for miraculous healings of humans; how animals inspire our lives, giving new direction and hope; spiritual teachings of animals in the face of death. Unforgettable for its cast of characters – four legged and otherwise – ‘Animal Wisdom’ is a vivid and moving tribute to the animals we love and learn from.

Susan Chernak McElroy is the author of the national bestselling book ‘Animals as Teachers and Healers.’ Diagnosed with terminal cancer in 1987, she survived – by following the dignified, joyful example of her dog, Kesha, who had died ten years earlier of the same type of cancer. McElroy and her husband live in Oregon, where they share their farm with miniature donkeys, llamas, chickens, geese, cats, dogs, and a cockatoo. She has since written ‘Animal Grace: Entering a Spiritual Relationship with Our Fellow Creatures,’

‘Animals as Guides for the Soul: Stories of Life-Changing Encounters,’
‘Heart in the Wild: A Journey of Self-Discovery with Animals of the Wilderness.’
‘All My Relations: Living with Animals As Teachers and Healers,’ ‘Why Buffalo Dance,’ ‘Unforgettable Mutts,’ and more. Audio originally from Sounds True but not in current catalogue.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 27


12-1 Dave Emory, “For the Record #971 – Nazi’s in New Orleans”

Introduction: This broadcast is something of a “prequel” to the next two programs, both dealing with Charlottesville.

What the media have termed “Alt-Right” and the author calls “the radical right” were present at Charlottesville and participants in the assassination of JFK.

Numerous programs and articles on this website have dealt with Nazi involvement with the assassination of JFK, from paramilitary American Nazi elements to individuals and institutions overlapping the Reinhard Gehlen spy milieu.

In this program, we excerpt a recent, massive volume General Walker and the Murder of President Kennedy by Jeffrey H. Caufield M.D. NB: For a seasoned researcher, this is a useful and important book, however it MUST be handicapped–the author is dismissive of the [by now recorded fact] that elements of the intelligence community were involved in the killing. Of course, they were.

Notwithstanding that significant flaw, the book features a treasure trove of information about Nazi and fascist connections to the assassination of JFK. A veteran researcher can–and should–easily take the information from Caufield’s book and collate it with the intelligence community elements with which the “radical right” individuals and institutions are affiliated.

Although not coterminous by any means, what Caufield terms “the radical right” and U.S. intelligence are profoundly connected. We suspect that overlapping groups comprising what Caufield terms “the radical right” constitute an “American Gladio.”

This hypothetical relationship suggests the possibility of a domestic version of “Operation Stay Behind” and its Italian component, “Operation Gladio”. The above were NATO operations that utilized extreme right and fascist elements as potential guerilla forces to fight against communists in the event of either a successful Soviet takeover of Western Europe (an extreme improbability), or the greater likelihood of a popular Communist takeover of a major Western European country. In practice, Gladio resulted in a program of terrorist acts (bombings, kidnappings and assassinations) directed against the left. (Many of those acts were actually blamed on the left, in order to discredit it in the eyes of the public.)

Disturbed by the alleged lack of “backbone” demonstrated by American military personnel during the Korean War, American strategic thinkers undertook to indoctrinate the American public with a practically militant, anti-Communist perspective. These leaders feared that, in the event of a protracted nuclear face-off with the Soviets, lack of American political resolve could result in the United States “blinking” and backing down in such a confrontation.

In 1958, the Eisenhower administration issued a National Security Council directive authorizing the military to engage in a program of political indoctrination of military personnel and (more importantly) the civilian population as well. The goal of this directive was to alter the political views of the American people. The constitutional implications of this directive could not be exaggerated. The bulk of the broadcast examines evidence that suggests that, as a result of this NSC directive, the national security establishment began utilizing far-right and fascist groups in order to realize the desired ideological transformation. Mr. Emory suggests that these networks may very well have been utilized in the American political assassinations of the 1960s and early 1970s, as well as domestic intelligence operations against the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements.

We begin our analysis with New Orleans DA Jim Garrison’s 1967 letter to Lord Bertrand Russell, in which he noted the Nazi associations of many of the people involved with the JFK assassination.

Next, we excerpt text discussing David Ferrie’s Nazi musings and associations.

In future programs, we will take up the issue of what Fort Sill Operations Command Officer Glenn Pinchback referred to as a “Neo-Nazi plot to enslave America in the name of anti-Communism” and “a neo-Nazi plot gargantuan in scope.”

1-2 The Ralph Nader Radio Hour: Clean Water/Throwing Rocks At The Google Bus

Ralph talks everything water, including how cities can maintain clean water in the face of natural disasters with George Hawkins, CEO of the municipal utility, DC Water. And media maven, Douglas Rushkoff, author of Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus, talks about how to maintain your power and humanity in the age of digital monopolies.

George Hawkins serves as Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of DC Water (https://www.dcwater.com/), which is a public utility that distributes drinking water and collects and treats wastewater for more than 672,000 residents and 17.8 million annual visitors in the District of Columbia.

The Water Environment Federation https://www.wef.org/
The American Water Works Association https://www.awwa.org/

“In fact, bottled water is less regulated than drinking water coming out of the tap. That doesn’t mean it’s cleaner or not cleaner. It just means you’re not sure of that, and there’s not any reason to guarantee it.” George Hawkins: CEO of DC Water

Douglas Rushkoff is a prolific writer, documentarian, and lecturer whose work focuses on human autonomy in a digital age. He is the author of fifteen bestselling books on media, technology, and society, including 'Program or Be Programmed,' 'Present Shock and Coercion: Why We Listen to What “They” Say.'

He also hosts his own podcast called “Team Human”. And his latest book is entitled 'Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus: How Growth Became the Enemy of Prosperity.'

“We’re taking the smartest kids out of Stanford and teaching them what’s called ‘captology’ in the labs of BJ Fogg how to elicit these Pavlovian responses to every bell and swipe and text and button on our smartphones, so that every swipe we make on our smartphone, it gets smarter about us as we get dumber about it.”

2-3 Richard Wolff, “Capitalism vs. Socialism”
Recorded in New York, NY on August 09, 2017.

“The great radical historian Howard Zinn once told me, half in jest, that one of the greatest disasters to befall socialism was when the Soviet Union put it in the official name of the country: The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. I asked him to explain and he said, The USSR, which had little to do with socialism, it was an authoritarian state, wanted to capitalize on the almost universal good name that socialism had. And the capitalist countries played along by smearing socialism and conflating it with the USSR. If you expressed interest in socialism the response would be: “Why don’t you move to a gulag in Siberia? Today, because of growing wealth and income inequality and the Bernie Sanders campaign, he got more than 13 million votes, there is a resurgence of interest in socialism. Many young people are fed up with predatory capitalism and are looking for alternatives. Worker-owned and operated coops are springing up. These initiatives can proliferate and grow. And as Howard Zinn always said, authentic socialism must be small “d” democratic.”

Richard Wolff is Professor of Economics Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and currently a visiting professor at the New School in New York. The New York Times calls him “America’s most prominent Marxist economist.” He is the author of numerous books including ‘Democracy at Work’ and ‘Occupy the Economy’ with David Barsamian.
