BEHIND THE SCENES
'Ch... Ch... Changes'
https://pacificainexile.org/archives/2693

VOTING: The Local Station Board elections are happening now. Advice: Programmers cannot endorse candidates on the air or in our program guides. However there have been or will be a couple of postcards or emails from 'parties' of candidates listing their supporters to make things a bit easier. My personal advice is to judge candidates who want to do something TO the station, something WITH the station or something FOR the station. The boards are in need of some members with some kind of talent, experience, expertise, not just agendas. Also, Local Station Boards do not make program decisions - that's up to the Program Director and General Manager.




FEBRUARY+ FUND DRIVE
... begins Tuesday, February 12, goal $650,000. Expected to end by March 10 depending on our daily totals. (818) 985-5735. Sustainers wanted and phone answerers wanted.
"Fund Drive Schedule" means that our program schedule will vary in response to pledge calls - we work for more regular programming and less fundraising and that depends on whether the phones are lighting. NOTE: We will also be starting the Thom Hartmann Program a bit early so we don't have to edit his program to accommodate his active listenership.

MONDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 11



12-1:30 Pema Chodron, "Noble Heart"
'A Self-Guided Retreat in Befriending Your Obstacles'

You can't get away from suffering. That's the good news, teaches Pema Chödrön. For at the core of your most painful experiences, perhaps more than anywhere else, you will find the seeds of your awakening.

On 'Noble Heart,' this beloved American-born Buddhist nun shows you how vulnerability is your greatest spiritual resource on the path through life's difficulties. The noble heart, Ane Pema teaches, is one that sheds its armor, opening itself fearlessly to both heartache and delight. Using special meditations and traditional teachings, Pema Chödrön leads you, step-by-step, toward a full realization of your true strength, the strength that can come only through embracing the pain of your own experience.

'Noble Heart' was recorded as it happened, within the peaceful shrine room of Gampo Abbey, Ane Pema's home on the cliffs of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Structured so that you can create your own retreat at home or at your meditation center, this complete curriculum brings you key teachings about how to recognize and cultivate the soft spot that is the gateway to your own noble heart.

Here is the promise of the Four Limitless Ones-maitri (loving-kindness), compassion, joy, and equanimity-and down-to-earth advice about how to draw strength from them every day, in any situation. Here, too, are the treasured teachings about the Six Paramitas: the Buddha's own map of the journey to enlightenment. Learn how to connect with your innately unlimited friendliness, and how it can grow big enough to contain the entire world.

With four complete meditations, unique heart teachings, and Ane Pema's trademark humor, 'Noble Heart' invites you to discover for yourself the compassion and wisdom that have established her as a leading voice in American Buddhism. Includes more than nine hours of direct teachings from this revered acharya (master teacher)

Part 7 of 12: 'The Practice of Tonglen'
Reversing the logic of ego. Shunyatta: the open dimension of being. Awakening bodhichitta. The four stages of tonglen practice. Dissolving our armor of self-protection. Tonglen meditation instruction. More.

Part 8 of 12 'Meditation and Wisdom'
'To go to the other shore. Post meditation practice. Threefold purity. The three categories of meditation. Prajna: that which realizes the true nature of everything. Don't know mind. More.

1:30-2:30 Jack Kornfield, "The Jewel of Liberation" #3 of 8

For four decades, Buddhist meditation teacher Jack Kornfield has shared practical instructions for awakening the wise and compassionate heart in the midst of all we experience. The Jewel of Liberation presents 10 pinnacle dharma talks (teaching sessions) hand-selected by Jack from his personal collection to illuminate the pathways out of suffering and into the natural freedom that is both our shared birthright and our greatest gift to the world.

Reclaim the Seat of Dignity, Compassion, and Lovingkindness

Meditation is the practice of awakening itself; it is the fundamental tool the Buddha offered to quiet the mind and open the heart. We begin our retreat with an examination of the art of meditation and how it empowers us to see things clearly and be gracious with the flow of this ever-changing life.

The Jewel of Liberation continues with guidance in managing our troubles, the "weeds" that arise even as we cultivate the seeds of abiding happiness. Our retreat culminates with an inquiry into the "laws of life," the understandings we must have if we are to experience freedom independent of our circumstances.

The Possibility of Freedom Here and Now

"The sure heart's release is found nowhere else but in our own direct experience-for it is who and what we are," teaches Jack Kornfield. "The world so much needs people who are free in this way, unafraid to love every being." Here is his invitation for each of us to "be a lamp of freedom for yourself and for all."

Session 3 OF 8: 'Who Are You Really?
Our succession of lives. The deeper truth of who we are..What happens when me meditate? The mystery of identity. No self and low self-esteem. Freedom, moment by moment.
Ten CE credits available!

3-3:30 Tami Simon: "Embracing Paradox: A special micro-episode"
Tuesday, February 5, 2019


Tami Simon is the founder and CEO of Sounds True, as well as the host of Insights at the Edge. In this special episode, Tami celebrates an amazing milestone: her five-hundredth podcast. Speaking on her many years as an interviewer, Tami explains that she has been able to take in all the competing, often contradictory viewpoints of her subjects by embracing the concept of paradox. She shares numerous examples of contrasting ideas (such as the roles of anger and surrender in spiritual practice) that she has entertained as truth. Tami considers the paradox of becoming more in tune with herself over the years while also learning how interconnected she is with all other beings. Finally, Tami mulls the painful contradiction of brilliant teachers who also prey on the vulnerable and what this means for the overall quest for spiritual discovery.

12-12:30 Peter Goodgold, B.A. Water Consultant, Molecular Hydrogen - A Healthy Protocol for Cancer Prevention.

PETER GOODGOLD has a B.A. Degree in filmmaking from the
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Southern California (USC).
As a visionary documentary filmmaker he has blended his artistic talent with his ground
breaking healthy alkaline water products to assist people to live healthier lifestyles without
prescription drugs.

He created one of the first raw food macrobiotic restaurants in Southern California known as The Pyramid Restaurant in Santa Monica, California in 1973. Following this accomplishment, he went on to create the famous Healing Waters Hot Springs Healing Center in 1976. This raw foods alternative healing center located in Eden, Arizona is still in existence today.

Peter combined his artistic side with his commitment to the healthy benefits of a plant-based alkaline diet, which has culminated in his present passion of creating alkaline water products to help people heal their bodies with pH balancing.

Peter has spent his life working toward methods of healing the body naturally. Over the course of the last 10 years he has developed and designed a complete line of revolutionary electronic and non-electronic water ionizers, portable water ionizers, water filters and shower filters that are more health oriented than any found in the market today. These are all available through his website www.WaterWorks4u.com

He is currently producing the documentary feature film called 'The Wisdom of Water.'
Peter Goodgold may be contacted through his office in Royal Palm Beach, Florida by phone
561-790-2004 and email peter@WaterWorks4U.com

He will speak on Molecular Hydrogen - A Healthy Protocol for Cancer Prevention.




12:30-1:30 Nita & Roy (Speiser) Special - Limited portable water filter offer.

Dr. Nita Valens interview from yesterday with Dr. Roy Speiser on a special KPFK subscription offer limited to 100 people due to currently limited availability.

Dr. Speiser's passion for maintaining water quality began decades ago, in New York, as a holistic healthcare practitioner. An unusual increase of cancer occurrence in his patients prompted inquiries and, ultimately, his involvement in a regional task force investigating the correlation between groundwater pollution and cancer. The findings revealed that the illegal dumping of industrial chemical waste had infiltrated the groundwater table, and contributed to a carcinogenic effect in the drinking water. Immediately, Dr. Speiser was compelled to help defuse these all-too- common, toxic time bombs. His research led him to one very important conclusion- the most effective way to purify contaminated water at the tap is through the use of multi-stage filtration equipment. That realization gave birth to CWR nearly 25 years ago, and today it provides an international customer base with over 150 advanced filtration systems for home and commercial use- addressing both water and air contamination.
Dr. Speiser's credentials are impeccable. Certified as a master, water-quality specialist, his training, field application and reputation are unsurpassed in the industry. He holds degrees in biology, biochemistry, bacteriology, and biomechanical engineering. He writes and lectures extensively on issues of water and air quality, environmental impact studies and related health issues. As the Director of Research for CWR Environmental Products, Dr. Speiser is tasked with continuously reviewing the scientific literature for evolving trends that can predict, identify, and combat, emerging forms of unregulated contaminants, toxic chemicals, and disease-causing microorganisms.
Together, Dr. Speiser and his wife, Dr. Diane Romeo, President of CWR, are leading the fight for better health through advanced filtration applications. More than an environmental spokesman, a water-quality expert, and a filtration visionary, he is an advocate of affordable safeguards- proven filtration systems that guarantee healthy air and water for you, your family, and your neighbors.

2-3 Ayelet Waldman: "Exploring Microdosing"


Ayelet Waldman is a former federal public defender, current adjunct professor at UC Berkeley Law School, and a bestselling author. Her books include 'Love and Treasure,' 'Daughter's Keeper,' and 'A Really Good Day: How Microdosing Made a Mega Difference in My Mood, My Marriage, and My Life.' In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with Ayelet about the practice of microdosing with small quantities of psychedelic drugs in order to treat mental health conditions. Ayelet shares her own story of microdosing with LSD and how it helped her climb out of a pit of suicidal depression. Tami and Ayelet discuss the legal limitations on microdosing, the difficulty of researching the effects of psychedelics, and the possible future of the war on drugs. Finally, they talk about the many clinical applications of MDMA, including a surprising application for couples therapy.

Tami's Takeaway: Research! Research! Research! If we are to understand how to effectively microdose with LSD and other psychoactive substances, we need open minds and quality research to guide our way. Let's move beyond any preformed biases we might have (pro or con) and pursue research that will give us the data, proper protocols, and safeguards we need.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 13

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1045 - Interview #14 with Jim DiEugenio About "Destiny Betrayed"

CIA's Expert on the JFK Assassination Ray Rocca: " . . . . Garrison would indeed obtain a conviction of Shaw for conspiring to assassinate President Kennedy. . . ."
House Select Committee on Assassinations Assistant Counsel Jonathan Blackmer: ". . . . 'We have reason to believe Shaw was heavily involved in the Anti-Castro efforts in New Orleans in the 1960s and [was] possibly one of the high level planners or 'cut out' to the planners of the assassination.' . .
. ."
This is the fourteenth of a planned long series of interviews with Jim DiEugenio about his triumphal analysis of President Kennedy's assassination and New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison's heroic investigation of the killing.

In this program, we highlight the media hatchet men who worked hand in glove with the intelligence community infiltrators set forth in our previous interview. Many of the hatchet men also worked with each other, as well as the intelligence community.
Most significantly, both the intelligence community infiltrators and the media hatchet men worked with Clay Shaw's counsel and freely broke the law.

In addition to a CBS special that aired at the same time (1967), NBC broadcast an outright hatchet job on Garrison presided over by Walter Sheridan. A veteran of the intelligence community, Sheridan had worked for the FBI, the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) and was a principal figure in counter-intelligence for the National Security Agency. As will be seen below, Sheridan reputedly had strong, deep connections to CIA itself...

1-2 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1046 - Interview #15 with Jim DiEugenio About "Destiny Betrayed"

CIA's Expert on the JFK Assassination Ray Rocca: " . . . . Garrison would indeed obtain a conviction of Shaw for conspiring to assassinate President Kennedy. . . ."

House Select Committee on Assassinations Assistant Counsel Jonathan Blackmer: ". . . . 'We have reason to believe Shaw was heavily involved in the Anti-Castro efforts in New Orleans in the 1960s and [was] possibly one of the high level planners or 'cut out' to the planners of the assassination.' . . . ."

This is the fifteenth of a planned long series of interviews with Jim DiEugenio about his triumphal analysis of President Kennedy's assassination and New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison's heroic investigation of the killing.

This interview begins with an excerpt from the book that encapsulates the synthesis of the intelligence agencies, infiltrators into Garrison's investigation, media hatchet men designated to destroy Garrison's reputation and Clay Shaw's defense team.
In this program, we noted Novel's work with the FBI, as well as CIA. Noting a bunch of apparent "hangers-on" around his residence, Novel realized that they were FBI. They were interested in having him monitor Garrison for the bureau, which he did. Jim notes that the Wackenhut Corporation (formerly Southern Research) was also monitoring Garrison's communications. It was an outgrowth of the FBI.
Supplementing analysis of CIA Garrison infiltrator William Martin (also highlighted in FTR #1044), we set forth Martin's work for Guy Banister.

An important part of the discussion features expanded analysis of both Hugh Aynesworth and James Phelan, both of whom were prominent media hatchet men who helped defame Garrison. (They, too, were highlighted in FTR #1044.)

The program concludes with a partial reading of a 2016 Huffington Post story based, in part on Phelan's disingenuous reporting on the JFK assassination. One of the features of the article is that it casually dismisses Jim Garrison's investigation as baseless, and suggests that Garrison felt the homosexual Shaw was involved with the assassination as part of a "homosexual thrill killing."
