FUND DRIVE
We will have a 2-week fund drive August 1 - 15, goal $350,000. The timing is to open up more regular program time for November election coverage.. (Previous plan was to go to Sept. before next drive, but we figured it would be best to avoid interrupting election coverage for fundraising)

MONDAY NIGHT, JULY 30
12 -1 Pema Chodron, "Coming Closer to Ourselves"
'Making Everything the Path of Awakening'
How to Befriend Your Most Challenging Emotions and Experiences
In challenging times, why do so many of us turn to Pema Chödrön for guidance? Many say that it's her honest and caring way of communicating the core teachings of Buddhism-not just conceptually, but directly from her heart to ours. In these inspiring sessions, she teaches us how to give that compassion to the person we neglect most often-ourselves. With her, you will explore:
What to do when it feels impossible to be kind to ourselves
In challenging relationships and situations, how to let go of our story and see what's really happening
Cultivating inner comfort and greater kindness toward our bodies
Leaning into frustration, sadness, and fear with a spirit of trust and intimacy
Many other insights and recommendations to befriend the difficult places within us
Through gentle and clear guidance, Coming Closer to Ourselves shows us how, even in the tumult of life's uncertainties, we can begin with a glimmer of curiosity, move closer into our experiences, and discover a place of welcome and refuge within.
Part 3 of 5: 'The Four Noble Truths and the Path of Meditation'
The three prajnas. Taking time for meditation. The origins of suffering. The cessation of suffering. Suffering and happiness. The Eightfold Path. The path of meditation.

1-2:30 Ken Wilber, "A Brief History of Everything"
(Read by Steve Grad and Willow Pearson)
'A Brief History of Everything' is Ken Wilber's accessible and entertaining account of men and women's place in a universe of sex, soul, and spirit. Wilber examines the course of evolution as the unfolding manifestation of Spirit, from matter to life to mind, including the higher stages of development where Spirit becomes conscious of itself. In each of these domains, there are recurring patterns and by looking closely a them, we can learn much about the predicament of our world - and the direction we must take if 'global transformation' is to become a reality.
Wilber offers a series of striking and original views on many topics of current interest and controversy, including gender relations, modern liberation movements, environmental ethics, and the conflict between this worldly and other-worldly approaches to spirituality. The result is an extraordinary and exhilarating ride through the Kosmos in the company of one of the great thinkers of our time.
Ken Wilber is one of the most widely read and influential American philosophers of our time. His writings have been translated into over twenty foreign languages.
Part 1 of 6: Tenets of Spirit-in-Action. Agency and Communion. Transcendence and Dissolution. Four Drives of All Holons. Creative Emergence. Holarchy. Higher and Lower. Depth and Span. The Spectrum of Consciousness. Techno-economic Bases of Social Organization. Foraging. Horticultural, Agrarian, Industrial. Gender Roles. Dialectic or Progress.

2:30-3:30 From the Vault - Aldous Huxley
This week on From the Vault we present a true visionary thinker who wrote and spoke as much about possible futures as he did about present events and those of antiquity: Aldous Huxley. While best known as the author of the dystopian science fiction novel 'Brave New World' (1934), Huxley also explored psychedelic concepts in 'Doors of Perception' (1954) and Utopian concepts in 'Island' (1962). Pacifica Radio was on hand to record Huxley in 1959 at the campus of the University of California - Santa Barbara, as he gave a speech known as The Final Revolution, on how humanity is threatening to destroy the delicate natural balance of its existence.
From the Vault is presented through the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project, funded in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, past grants from the Grammy Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the American Archive funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, along with the generous support of Pacifica Radio Listeners.

FUND DRIVE PROGRAMMING
12-1 Dave Emory, 'For the Record #912 - Food for Thought'
(Originally published July 2016 - Dave wanted to rebroadcast this material to complement the upcoming (next week) FTR #1012, though there is some overlap between the two programs.
For more than three decades, we have examined disturbing evidence that AIDS was deliberately created and disseminated among various population groups considered "undesirable." (Among the broadcasts covering this topic are: AFA #16, FTR #'s 16, 606, and 682.)
Apparently the application of genetic engineering to the discipline of biological warfare, AIDS manifests a highly suspicious epidemiological pattern. Only pure bred Northern Europeans-"Aryans"-featuring the CCR5 delta 32 gene have a hereditary immunity to infection by HIV. People of African extraction have a hereditary susceptibility to HIV infection.
Such an eventuality was directly foreshadowed in a House Appropriations Subcommittee hearing for the Pentagon budget: "Within the next 5 to 10 years, it would probably be possible to make a new infective micro-organism which could differ in certain important respects from any known disease-causing organisms. Most important of these is that it might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease." That is VERY close to being the clinical definition of AIDS.
In this broadcast, we take a frightening look into the future and ask where such developments might lead. With Bayer and BASF poised to purchase Monsanto-a leading GMO-producing company-we fear that genetically-engineered binary pathogens might be introduced into the food supply. (Since the program was recorded, Bayer has finalized the deal, with Sullivan & Cromwell as the U.S. legal counsel for the deal.)
Much of the program underscores the inextricable link between the remarkable and deadly Bormann capital network and I.G. Farben, during and after World War II. (We note that both Bayer and BASF are some of the I.G.'s successor companies, maintaining their profound connection to the Bormann group and the Underground Reich.) In addition to the prospect of the successor companies to I.G. Farben controlling the manufacture and application of GMO's, we highlight disturbing evidence that other companies and interests that may well be part of the Bormann/Underground Reich nexus are gaining significant market shares of foodstuffs manufacturers that cater to middle, lower-middle and working-class populations.
Will genetically-engineered binary pathogens be introduced into the food supply? Will we be seeing the realization of Hitler's vision of an "Aryan world" through dietary/culinary genocide?
Program Highlights Include: BASF's partnership with Monsanto in the latter's GMO projects; forecasts that BASF may acquire parts of Monsanto and/or Bayer that must be spun-off due to anti-trust considerations; Becker GMBH (a German food company begun by an SS officer with funds purloined during the Holocaust); Becker GMBH's incorporation into ConAgra foods (almost certainly in exchange for significant stock ownership and/or a place on the board of directors); Brazilian-born, Swiss-based Jorge Paolo Lemann's purchase of H.J. Heinz, Burger King and Anheuser-Busch; the development of the CCR5, delta 32 gene for successful stem-cell therapy for AIDS sufferers.
