12-12:30 Dan Ellsberg "The Doomsday Machine" Part 1
'Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner'
Daniel Ellsberg of Pentagon Papers fame has another revelation to make. In 1961 he consulted for the Department of Defense and the White House and drafted Secretary Robert McNamara's plans for nuclear war.
In 1969 Ellsberg copied the top secret documents along with those pertaining to the war on Vietnam. Ellsberg's attempts to publish the nuclear war papers were stymied by the loss of his copies and the refusal by 17 publishers who told him that nobody was interested in a book about nuclear war. The Doomsday Machine was finally published in December 2017.
Now, in the context of Trump's threats to North Korea, the question of what it means for the rest of the world if one or more of todays super powerful nuclear weapons were to be used is rising to top priority. Convincing evidence shows that even a small nuclear exchange will instantly kill millions and a larger exchange would endanger the rest of the hemisphere by nuclear winter.
Ellsberg spoke at Town Hall in Seattle on January 9, 2018. He was recorded by Mike McCormick of Talking Stick TV and KEXP radio. From TUC Radio 1 (707) 463-2654, www.tucradio.org
12:30-1 Daniel Ellsberg "The Doomsday Machine" Part 2 'Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner'
In 1969 Daniel Ellsberg secretly copied the plans for the United States - Vietnam Relations, 1945-1967, later to be published as the Pentagon Papers. What was not known widely until late 2017 is that Ellsberg also copied the top secret plans for nuclear war that he consulted on for the Department of Defense and drafted for Secretary Robert McNamara.
Some of these papers, along with his first person report of the history of nuclear war planning, have now finally been published to high acclaim. The publication comes at an extraordinarily auspicious and dangerous time as nuclear tensions are mounting and the US president is challenging North Korea.
This program begins with two excerpts from the Nobel Awards in Oslo. ICAN, The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, received the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of their efforts "to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons" and their "ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons".
ICAN is a coalition of non-governmental organizations in 100 countries. They are promoting the implementation of the United Nations Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty. This landmark global agreement was voted on in New York City on July 7, 2017.
Daniel Ellsberg is currently on tour for his most recent book - The Doomsday Machine. Even though the book is in large measure a memoir Ellsberg is always being asked questions about the nuclear threats of the day, North Korea and President Trump's public announcements about fire, fury and total destruction.
Ellsberg spoke at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on December 12, 2017. He was being interviewed by Dr. Gloria Duffy, President and CEO of the Club.
Ellsberg shows that the legacy of this most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization-and its proposed renewal under the Trump administration-threatens our very survival. No other insider with high-level access has written so candidly of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, and nothing has fundamentally changed since that era.

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #991 - Hindutva Fascism, Part 4: The Hare Krishna Cult"
KEY POINTS OF INTEREST/ANALYSIS INCLUDE:
1.-Hare Krishna founder and chief guru Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada provided commentary on Hindu religious text ". . . . and often suggested that they had not actually been written by himself, but that God, Krishna, had revealed them to him. . . ." This was in order to " . . . .underline the absolute position, superhuman qualities, and overall importance of the guru. [Basically, "guru" as "fuhrer"-D.E.] . . . ."
2.-Bhaktivedanta Swami was fundamentally opposed to democracy. "So monarchy or dictatorship is welcome. . . . Personally, I like this position, dictatorship. Personally, I like this."
3.-Bhaktivedanta Swami felt that Hinduism was in a "fallen state" and that only his discipline/teachings could restore it to its proper place. In our discussions with Peter Levenda, we have noted that fascism manifests a longing for a bygone time-one that never really existed.
4.-Fascist philosophies frequently invoke a by-gone, mythical "golden age," which the fascist cadre in question will restore, after the corrupting forces have been neutralized. " . . . . He too believed that in bygone ages a divine and scientific social system had existed in India, and like Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati, he too founded a movement whose express mission was to reestablish what he often referred to as the "perfectional form of human civilization," varnashram dharma. . . ." Note that "foreigners" or what would be termed in our society today "immigrants," "migrants," "Mexicans," or "Muslims" are blamed for this degeneration. " . . . . . . . . Indian civilization on the basis of the four varnas and ashrams deteriorated because of her dependency on foreigners, or those who did not follow the civilization of varnasham. . . ."
5.-Bhaktivedanta Swami valued the traditional position of the Kshatriya warrior caste, to which the Nazi SS considered themselves as successors, according to Kevin Coogan's brilliant analysis (in Dreamer of the Day: Francis Parker Yockey and the Postwar Fascist International.) ". . . . the kshatriyas should be taught how to fight also. There will be military training. There will be training how to kill. Kshatriya students in the ISKCON varnashram college were to practice killing: 'Just like Kshatriyas, they have to learn how to kill.' . . . . There is no single instance where Bhaktivedanta Swami speaks about kshatriya training without mentioning killing. . . . 'Learn to kill. No nonviolence. Learn to kill. Here also, as soon you'll find, the Kshatriya, a thief, a rogue, unwanted element in the society, kill him. That's all. Finish. Kill him. Bas. Finished. . . ." It is not that because the Kshatriyas were killing by bows and arrows formerly you have to continue that. That is another foolishness. If you have got . . . If you can kill easily by guns, take that gun. All the royal princes were trained up how to kill. . . . A Kshatriya, he is expert in the military science, how to kill. So the killing art is there. You cannot make it null and void by advocating nonviolence. No, That is required. Violence is also a part of the society. . . ."
6.-Hare Krishna cult member Tulsi Gabbard's political vector may be evaluated against the background of Bhaktivedanta Swami's prognostication that the Hare Krishna cult could infiltrate and take over a key political party and/or government in a democracy. Recall that he viewed democracy with utmost contempt. " . . . . Bhaktivedanta also thought that he and his movement could take over some government and rule some part of the world: 'However in Kali-yuga, democratic government can be captured by Krishna conscious people. If this can be done, the general populace can be made very happy.' . . . ."

Mr. McCormack is responsible for all of Consumer Report's unique testing and research that underpins much of its content and policy work, including the highly regarded product and service ratings and reviews.
"There is one food label that kind of makes us really angry, which is when you say that something is labeled as being 'natural.' So, you might say, 'Natural. That sounds good.' But legally speaking it has absolutely no meaning whatsoever. It means nothing about whether it's organic or whether it's free of genetically modified ingredients. It actually has no meaning in law whatsoever." Liam McCormack, Head of Testing at Consumer ReportInitially heard on KPFK Saturdays, 10am
