12 -1 Pema Chodron, "Getting Unstuck"
'Breaking Your Habitual Patterns & Encountering Naked Reality'
Have you ever had an itch and not scratched it? In the Buddhist tradition, this points to a vast paradox: that by refraining from our urge to scratch, great peace and happiness is available.
On Getting Unstuck, Pema Chödrön introduces a rare Tibetan teaching she received from her teacher, Dzigar Kontrul Rinpoche, and one that has become critical to her practice. Here, she unveils the mystery of an ineffable quality: a pre-emotional feeling that arises in us, brings us discomfort, and causes us to react by escaping the discomfort often with harmful habits.
With Getting Unstuck, she offers us a first look at both the itch and the scratch, which Tibetan Buddhists call shenpa. On this full-length recording, Pema Chödrön, bestselling author and beloved American Buddhist nun, shows us how to recognize shenpa, catch it as it appears, and develop a playful, lively curiosity toward it. Join Pema Chödrön to discover more about:
Critical mind-how to recognize this fundamental shenpa, and approach yourself and others with a sense of humor and loving-kindness
Ways to unravel the patterns of self-denigration, and develop the fundamental maitri-loving-kindness-toward yourself
How to cultivate acceptance of your irritability, insecurities, and other simply human traits
Recognition, Refrain, Relaxing, and Resolve: the four R's of working with shenpa, and more
An urge comes up, we succumb to it, and it becomes stronger, teaches Pema Chödrön. We reinforce our cravings, habits, and addictions by giving in to them repeatedly. On Getting Unstuck, Chödrön guides us through this sticky feeling, exploring the moments when we get hooked, and offers us tools for learning to stay with our uneasiness, soften our hearts toward ourselves and others, and live a more peaceful life in the fullness of the present moment.

2-3 From the Vault "The Attica Prison Rebellion"
This week on From the Vault, we look at the bloodiest prison confrontation in American history. September 9th, 1971 marked the beginning of the Attica Prison Rebellion. Nearly 1500 prisoners revolted and held 40 guards hostage, while the world awaited the reason for this uprising.
Prisoner L.D. Barkley would break the silence, by reading from a manifesto the inmates had created, which issued demands for improvements on inhumane living conditions as well as establishing educational and training opportunities. Four days of negotiations ended and New York State Police and National Guard troops assaulted the rebel prison block. When the smoke cleared the death toll stood at 43 souls, including 10 hostages. Pacifica's coverage of these five chilling days brought into focus a world largely unknown to the American public.
The roots of the Attica crisis can be traced to conditions inside the prison that very few people were aware of, unless they spent time behind Attica's gates or listened to Pacifica Radio's coverage. In this episode, we will feature archival recordings of an exceptionally rare and comprehensive nature: interviews with prisoners leading the revolt, like L.D. Barkley and Donald Noble; comments by New York State Assembly member Arthur Eve, representing the 143rd district of Buffalo; statements by various prison guards held hostage in the uprising; reflections from radical lawyer and civil rights activist William Kunstler; and the sharp wit of comedian Richard Pryor (edited for language, of course!). These Attica Prison rebellion recordings from the Pacifica Radio Archives provide a unique look back at a seminal event in United States history largely ignored by the conventional media in 1971, wholly reported and explored by Pacifica Radio, and brought back to life on this episode of From the Vault.

3-3:30 The Bioneers - Revolution from the Heart of Nature
Under the SKin We're All Kin: Reading the Minds of Animals"
Calling someone an "animal" means they're less than human - not worthy of respect, rights, or even of life itself. But in truth - and in biological fact - human beings ARE animals. Scientists continue to find that intelligence and what we call "consciousness" appear to saturate all of nature. Clearly it's high time to think differently about just what it means to be an animal. Can we know what it's like to be other-than-human? How can we see into the minds of animals? Visionary naturalist, author and conservationist Carl Safina says that the first step is paying attention and observing. And, he suggests, if we had humility, we'd have everything.

Archie has been a consultant for Clinics in California, Oregon, Nevada, Florida, New York and Mexico for many years.

2:15-3:30 Onnesha Roychoudhuri and Jenny Yang "The Marginalized Majority: Claiming Our Power in a Post-Truth America"
Recorded August 4 at Skylight Books in Los Angeles.
Nominated twice for the legendary Pushcart Prize, Onnesha Roychoudhuri is a writer and educator, who has written for Rolling Stone, n+1, Virginia Quarterly Review, The Boston Review, The Nation, Salon, Mother Jones, and many more. For the majority of her career, Roychoudhuri upheld the idea that true journalistic integrity came from an unfaltering objectivity, with the journalist's own perspective resolutely outside of the action. But after Trump's win it became clear that a reporter's work was needed on the streets, too. 'The Marginalized Majority' is her reckoning with this new way of viewing journalism and activism, together.
Jenny Yang is a former labor organizer turned standup comedian, writer and actor. She produces the Disoriented Comedy tour and The Comedy Comedy Festival. In 2016, President Obama honored her as a White House Champion of Change for her leadership in Asian American and Pacific Islander Art and Storytelling.
"The Marginalized Majority' is a must-read for anyone who cares about progressive politics. Onnesha Roychoudhuri weaves the personal and the political together expertly; she's written a compelling and brilliant book that will help light the way forward."-Jessica Valenti, author of Sex Object: A Memoir
"We have the numbers, strength, and vision to beat back the resurgent right and set a new people's agenda. But it won't happen until we start telling new stories about change, shedding the tired ones that have silenced and demoralized us. This book is a daring intervention to get us back in the game-- and a witty, delightfully personal meditation on collective power."-Naomi Klein, author of 'No Is Not Enough' and 'This Changes Everything'

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record 1015 - Update on Hindutva Fascism"
In numerous programs, we have highlighted the Nazi tract Serpent's Walk, which deals, in part, with the rehabilitation of the Third Reich's reputation and the transformation of Hitler into a hero.
In FTR #'s 988 and 989, 990, 991, and 992, we detailed the Hindutva fascism of Narendra Modi, his BJP Party and supportive elements, tracing the evolution of Hindutva fascism through the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi to the present time.
Modi's BJP is a political cat's paw for the RSS, the Hindutva fascist organization that murdered Gandhi.
It appears that a Serpent's Walk scenario is indeed unfolding in India.
As the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. There are exceptions: When a children's book is entitled "Great Leaders" and has a picture of Adolf Hitler standing next to Barack Obama, Mahatma Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela, that's a book cover that suggests this book should be skipped...

2-3 Chris Hedges "Extraction Industries & Sexploitation
(2015)
The scourge of male violence against women will not end if we dismantle the forces of global capitalism. The scourge of male violence exists independently of capitalism, empire and colonialism. It is a separate evil. The fight to end male violence against women, part of a global struggle by women, must take primacy in our own struggle. Women and girls, especially those who are poor and of color, cannot take part in a liberation movement until they are liberated. They cannot offer to us their wisdom, their leadership and their passion until they are freed from physical coercion and violent domination. This is why the fight to end male violence across the globe is not only fundamental to our movement but will define its success or failure. We cannot stand up for some of the oppressed and ignore others who are oppressed. None of us is free until all of us are free.
Chris Hedges is an award-winning journalist who has covered wars in the Balkans, the Middle East and Central America. He writes a weekly column for Truthdig.com and is a senior fellow at The Nation Institute. He is the author of many books including 'Empire of Illusion, 'Death of the Liberal Class, 'The World As It Is,' 'Wages of Rebellion,' and currently 'America: The Farewell Tour."
