FUND DRIVE REVIEW
We went overtime, we went over goal - as of this writing we are in danger of making close to $750,000 in pledges which is $150,000 over the original goal. This will be directed to increasing the time of regular programming before the next drive - estimates are this drive will take us three months before we have to refill the treasury. Many thanks to those of you who pledged and who answered phones. "Something's Happening!" people are greatly indebted to Buzz, John B. and Diane who helped make the night time work. Indications are finally showing the redevelopment of a 12-3amaudience. And a special bow to our Sustainers who sit silently on the sidelines and quietly send in monthly donations.

2-3 From the Vault: Alan Watts 'Zen Bones'
50 years ago this year, one of Pacificas most iconic figures Alan Watts gave a lecture about the temporal nature of life and about the need for Americans to readjust their priorities in a performance called 'Zen Bones.' Alan Watts gained popularity as one of the original early hosts on Pacifica's flagship station KPFA in Berkeley California which began broadcasting regularly in 1949.
His eloquent and simple but insightful presentation of Asian Spiritual and philosophical concepts made him a very popular listen, and one of the leading experts on Zen Buddhism.
His talks are as relevant today as they were when he gave them. One of my favorite modern references was in the film HER. Scarlotte Johansson was the voice of a personal Operating System that helped Joaquin Pheonixs character bring order and eventually happiness back into his life. By the end of the film the worlds Operating systems evolved by creating an even more advanced Operating system that they would now follow. This new super operating system was created in the model of yes you guessed it Alan Watts.
Here is the Pacifica Radio Archives recording of Alan Watts from March 29, 1967 called 'Zen Bones.'

12-3 Dave Emory, RFK Parts 3-6 (conclusion)
Anti Fascist Archives #9: The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy
(Recorded June 5, 1985)
Introduction: The killing of Senator Robert F. Kennedy is often perceived as the one major American political assassination that was indisputably the work of a "lone-nut." Although the crime superficially appeared to be the work of Sirhan Sirhan acting alone, there is conclusive evidence that such was not the case.
The program presents forensic evidence that points conclusively to more than one gunman being involved. Coroner Thomas Noguchi's autopsy revealed that the fatal shot was fired from a few inches from the back of Senator Kennedy's head. Sirhan was standing several feet in front of Kennedy. Noguchi stated that just before he was to testify in court, a member of the D.A.'s office tried to get him to change his testimony.
In addition to firm indications that more than 8 shots were fired (Sirhan's gun only held 8 shots), the program presents evidence that Los Angeles Police personnel destroyed evidence that Sirhan did not act alone. The program highlights the role of former Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty and former Los Angeles Police Chief Thomas Reddin in laying a misleading trail of "evidence" pointing to Sirhan as the lone-nut assassin. Contrary to the official story, numerous eyewitnesses believed that people other than Sirhan were involved.
Much of the program focuses on the Reverend Jerry Owen, a right-wing minister believed by many to have been one of Sirhan's handlers. Connected to a political milieu that was investigated by New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison in connection with President Kennedy's assassination, Owen gave conflicting accounts of how he came to give Sirhan a ride on the evening of the assassination. In a subsequent court case, testimony was given by associates of Owen that placed him in the company of Sirhan well before he claims to have met the accused assassin. Owen possessed a large amount of cash in large bills at the time.
Other program highlights include: evidence that Sirhan had been placed under mind control; discussion of Dr. William J. Bryan (Sirhan's probable mind-control programmer); the role of the American United organization of Anthony Hilder and John Steinbacher in spreading disinformation about the assassination; the presence of Ed Butler at a press conference staged by Hilder and Steinbacher the day after the killing (Butler had arranged for media appearances for Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans, at which Oswald proclaimed his supposed Marxist sympathies); links between Hilder and Steinbacher and people investigated by Jim Garrison in New Orleans; Hilder's curious behavior in December of 1967, indicating possible foreknowledge of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King; Jerry Owen's connections to Gail Aiken, the sister of Arthur Bremer (the accused shooter of Alabama Gov. George Wallace); the fascist and national security connections of Thane Eugene Caesar, the security guard believed by many to have been the actual assassin; connections between the Sirhan family and political supporters of Richard Nixon; the intelligence backgrounds of Manny Pena and Enrique Hernandez, the L.A.P.D. officers who supervised the "investigation" into Kennedy's slaying.
