A garden is more than a place of beauty. It is a sanctuary for your spirit that harkens bak to antiquity, when gardens and forests were part of our common spiritual tradition. On 'Spiritual Gardening,' bestselling author Judith Handelsman opens the gate to this secret medicine available to us all: the kinship of plants. 'All the issues of life and death reveal themselves through observing and caring for plants,' teaches Judith Handelsman, illustrating her point with magical stories that will leave you in no doubt that you can communicate with your own plants, whether you live in the country or in a high-rise apartment with a house plant on the window sill. On 'Spiritual Gardening this longtime gardner and spiritual seeker shows how to find and cultivate your own 'inner garden - through the wisdom awaiting you in every leaf, stem, and flower.

Dave Emory, “For the Record #972 – They Are All Bound on the Wheel: Reflections on Charlottesville”

With the mainstream media, the so-called “alternative media,” the so-called “progressive sector” and the GOP beating their breasts over Donald Trump’s predictably equivocal reaction to the violence in Charlottesville (Virginia), we highlight the profound complicity with all of these elements with the very white supremacist, Nazi and Neo-Confederate movements that are at the foundation of the events in question.

For the last several years, the mainstream media, the so-called “alternative media,” and the so-called “progressive sector” have manifested an almost erotic obsession with the overlapping activities of Eddie the Friendly Spook (Snowden), Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, Glenn Greenwald and Greenwald’s media financial angel Pierre Omidyar.

All of the focal points of their collective adulation are at one with the very white supremacist, Nazi and Neo-Confederate forces that coalesced on behalf of the preservation of the Confederate memorials in Charlottesville…

The Ralph Nader Radio Hour
Patriotic Millionaires/Congress Working?/Trump vs. NFL

Ralph talks to millionaire Morris Pearl, chairman of Patriotic Millionaires, a group of wealthy individuals fighting for economic and political equality, which includes raising their own taxes. And former FTC Chair, Michael Pertschuk reminisces with Ralph about how they got good things done in Congress. Plus, in the this week’s Wrap Up Ralph weighs in on Donald Trump vs. the NFL.
Morris Pearl serves as Chair of the Patriotic Millionaires, a group of hundreds of high-net-worth Americans that focuses on promoting public policy solutions that encourage political equality, guarantee a sustaining wage for working Americans, and ensure that millionaires, billionaires, and corporations pay their fair share of taxes.

“When we go on something like Fox News, I’m either introduced as a deranged person with some crazy ideas or as if this is headline news that no one’s thought of before – the idea that gross inequality is bad for society.” Morris Pearl, Chairman of Patriotic Millionaires

Michael Pertschuk is a former chair of the Federal Trade Commission under President Jimmy Carter. As a Senate staffer in the sixties and seventies, Mr. Pertschuk was instrumental in drafting the landmark legislation requiring cigarette warning labels and banning cigarette advertising on TV. He is the co-founder of the Advocacy Institute, which offers a range of legislative counseling and services to citizens to help them advocate for their issues. His new book is “When The Senate Worked For Us: The Invisible Role of Staff When Countering Corporate Lobbies.”

“In those years (‘60s –‘70s), the Democrats had strong majorities after the Lyndon Johnson election. But half of the Republicans were perfectly comfortable being known as liberal Republicans. And many of them worked very closely with their Democratic colleagues to pursue progressive legislation. There was none of the nastiness that takes place now, none of the ridiculous failure to face up to serious needs for regulation.” Michael Pertschuk, author of When The Senate Worked For Us: The Invisible Role of Staff When Countering Corporate Lobbies
Initially heard on KPFK Saturdays, 10am
