12 - 1: Pema Chodron, "Walking the Walk" Session 4 (conclusion)

It's one thing to hear a life-changing truth or to have a conceptual grasp on spiritual wisdom. But it's another thing to "walk the walk"-or to put into practice the good advice we've been given. What does it mean to walk the walk in our everyday lives? According to Pema Chödrön, it means being down-to-earth, genuine, and perhaps most importantly, it means engaging in the teachings in order to actively confront anything and everything we've heretofore rejected in our attempts to find happiness. Created to help us respond with compassion and authenticity when our spiritual ideals are put to the test, Walking the Walk brings you four inspirational sessions with Pema Chödrön, as you explore:


Stabilizing the Mind-awareness, presence, and the foundation of the spiritual path
Unconditional Friendship with Yourself-getting unstuck from the patterns that create our own misery
Freedom from Fixed Mind-how to release biases and prejudices to revitalize your everyday experiences
Taking Care of One Another-essential guidance in the ability to truly be there for others
The teachings in these sessions are not about perfection or unrealistic standards. "Baby steps are okay when learning to walk the walk," explains Pema. No matter the situation you find yourself in, here is a program for remaining true to the values we seek to live by, and staying open to the kindness and love that is always available to support us.

Session 4 of 4: Taking a John Cage Moment,. Review of previous talks. Taking care of one another. Returning to our natural state. The journey toward unconditional acceptance. Q&A: Buddhism and core wounds,. Optimism about the future.

"Juneteenth Special"
Juneteenth (June 19th) commemorates a significant day in African American history. Juneteenth, also known as African American Emancipation Day, is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.

2-3:30 Richard Gerber MD, "Exploring Vibrational Medicine" Part 1 of 3

'A New Era in Healing Has Already Started'


Can meditation and prayer affect the healing process? How do acupuncture, homeopathy, and healing touch work? Is it possible that the energy in our bodies is connected to the unlimited energy of the universe itself?


Over 20 years ago, when physician Richard Gerber began to investigate the new frontiers of healing, he met with skepticism. Today his groundbreaking views on alternative healing systems have entered the corridors of our major hospitals and research centers. On 'Exploring Vibrational Medicine,' Dr. Gerber builds on his pioneering work with a wealth of new and rare insights into the most promising energetic healing therapies.


Through study after fascinating study, you will hear about new findings on unique frequencies emitted by the human body; compelling evidence that proves we are composed of pure energy; how chakra points and acupuncture meridians draw energy from outside systems; and much more.


Complete with guided imagery exercises, 'Exploring Vibrational Medicine' is a revolutionary work about the oldest and newest discovery in medical science-the power of the body to heal itself naturally.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, JUNE 20



12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1006 - Robert Mueller and the Subversion of Operation Green Quest"


This program is a "prequel" to upcoming analysis of the fundamental dynamics of the "Russia-Gate" psy-op, which is inextricably linked with the Ukraine crisis, the deep politics of U.S. "black-ops," the Underground Reich, the 9/11 attacks and the House of Hapsburg [or Habsburg - one will find both spellings.]

As can be readily imagined, this will be quite a bicycle ride, and will take a couple of programs, plus some diligent following of linked information, to absorb.
Robert Mueller is a very, very "special" prosecutor indeed. In fact, he is not a "prosecutor" at all-he is a fixer. Charged with the legal untangling of numerous, overlapping criminal conspiracies involving powerful elements of the intelligence community dealing drugs and engaging in, or enabling terrorism, Mueller has been "less than vigorous" in his investigations.

Most significantly for our purposes, the investigations he has overseen-read "overlooked"-are progressively overlapped. From Iran-Contra related investigations into the Bank of Commerce and Credit International, the criminal career of Manuel Noriega and the bombing of Pan Am 103, to individuals and institutions figuring in the nascent energy ventures of George W. Bush, to the financing of Al-Qaeda, Mueller's judicial provinces lead directly to the Russia-Gate psy-op, whose elements figure in the mosaic of the 9/11 attacks.

The progression of scandals obfuscated by Mueller include:

1.-BCCI-Dubbed by wags "The Bank of Crooks and Criminals," BCCI was used by Oliver North and the Iran-Contra milieu for some of their operations, in addition to serving as a financial vehicle for the financing of terrorism. Mueller did not pursue the U.S./Reagan administration elements involved in the Bank's operations.

2.-Manuel Noriega-Another of the players in the Iran-Contra drug dealing, Noriega's prosecution circumnavigated the Panamanian dictator's operations on behalf of the U.S. national establishment that originally placed him in power.

3.-The bombing of Pan Am 103-alleged by the insurance investigator's report to have been executed by Monzer Al-Kassar, the bombing killed a team of military intelligence officers who had come across some of the Iran-Contra players and their dealings with terrorists. Al-Kassar was reported by the DEA to bring 20% of the heroin into the United States. Al-Kassar was used by Oliver North for some of his shipments of weapons to the Contras.

4.-Operation Green Quest-The investigation into the financing of Al-Qaeda, the inquest produced the raids of 3/20/2002. These raids targeted individuals and institutions overlapping both the Bank Al-Taqwa and the Islamic Free Market Institute of Grover Norquist. The Bank Al-Taqwa held an account with an unlimited line of credit for Al-Qaeda. Incorporated in Liechtenstein, Al-Taqwa was headed by a former Nazi intelligence officer named Youssef Nada. The driving force behind the Bank Al-Taqwa was Francois Genoud, the heir to the political last will and testament and collected literary works of Adolf Hitler, Martin Bormann and Joseph Goebbels. Talat Othman, the operating director of Norquist's Islamic Free Market Institute and protege of BCCI kingpin Gaith Pharaon, interceded with then Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill on behalf of the individuals and institutions targeted by the 3/20/2002 raids. O'Neill was fired later that year. The Operation Green Quest investigation went nowhere and then FBI director Robert Mueller did not pursue any of the above leads.

This concatenation is complex and, without research, opaque. For more about Operation Green Quest, the role of Robert Mueller's FBI in the subversion of Operation Green Quest, see FTR #'s 356, 357, 415, 433, 454, 456, 462, 464, 467, 498, 499, 513, 569, 603....

1-2 The Ralph Nader Radio Hour
Initially heard on KPFK Mondays, 2 pm
http://www.ralphnaderradiohour.com


2-3 Noam Chomsky, "There Are Plenty of Opportunities"

Program #CHON255. Recorded in Northfield, MN on May 04, 2018.


In the immortal words of Howard Beale, the TV anchor played by Peter Finch, in the classic film Network, "Things are bad, they're worse than bad. I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore. Things have got to change." If you are feeling that way you're not alone. In facing adversity some choose to do nothing and sit on their hands, others rise to the moment and resist. A long-time activist advises: "Get off of Facebook and into the faces of the powerful." Social media is good for getting people out to demonstrations but it is no substitute for solidarity and movement organizing. There are plenty of opportunities. Perhaps we can take inspiration from poor and tiny Armenia. It just toppled its corrupt government in a massive display of non-violent citizen power.


Noam Chomsky, by any measure, has led a most extraordinary life. In one index he is ranked as the eighth most cited person in history, right up there with Aristotle, Shakespeare, Marx, Plato and Freud. The legendary MIT professor practically invented modern linguistics. In addition to his pioneering work in that field he has been a leading voice for peace and social justice for many decades. Chris Hedges says he is "America's greatest intellectual" who "makes the powerful, as well as their liberal apologists, deeply uncomfortable."

3-3:30 The Union of Democratic Communications presents Sut Jhally

May 29, 2018,

Sut Jhally is the 2018 recipient of the Dallas Smythe Award At a time of Facebook data sales to advertisers and political campaigns - when manipulated media and advertising play an overwhelming role in the selection for political office, there is a renewed focus on organizations that analyze propaganda and deception in the mass media.


At their 2018 Conference in Chicago the Union of Democratic Communications honored Sut Jhally for his three decades of media activism. Sut Jhally, is professor in the Communication Department at UMass, Amherst. His interests include advertising and consumer culture, and the intersection of ideology, consciousness, and politics.


Jhally is the founder of the Media Education Foundation. MEF produces films that inspire critical reflection on the social, political and cultural impact of American Mass Media. On their website at <mediaed.org> one can find films, ranging from the commercialization of childhood, the effects of pornography, pop-cultural misogyny and sexism, to titles that deal with the devastating effects of rapacious consumerism and the wars for oil that it drives and the climate change that it causes.


One film, that caused attacks on Sut Jhally and the MEF is: 'The Occupation of the American Mind, Israel's Public Relations War in the United States.' The film deals with Israel's 2014 Gaza Strip attack and is narrated by the legendary Roger Waters from Pink Floyd. To this day the 2016 film, that has shown around the world, has not been accepted at mainstream film festivals and has no US distribution.


Sut Jhally received the Dallas Smythe award. Smythe was a leading scholar in American and international communication policy.


The program is made up of excerpts from Sut Jhally's one hour keynote address. Recorded on May 12, 2018, by Dale Lehman in Chicago. From TUC Radio, 1 (707) 463-2654, www.tucradio.org
