BEHIND THE SCENES

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. As of Saturday Afternoon our total is $84,360.
"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.

12-1 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)
Session 9 of 12: 'Generosity, Discipline, and Patience'
The three kinds of generosity. The practice of precision. The three categories of discipline. Undoing deep-seated patterns. How to practice patience. The antidote to aggression. More.

1-2 Jack Kornfield, "The Jewel of Liberation" #4 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 4 OF 8: 'Garden of the Heart'
The possibillity of awakening. Dealing with obstacles. Graciousness. Tending the seed. Guided sitting practice.

1:30-2:30 Michael Pollan, "Notes from the Psychedelic Underground"
The legalization of marijuana across the U.S. and Canada is making headline news. The study of the medical uses of psilocybin (and other psychedelics) does not. Academic research of psilocybin found in hallucinogenic mushrooms, lysergic acid, and ecstasy is ongoing at major universities around the world. Peer-reviewed articles on the uses of LSD for alcoholism, micro-dosing of LSD for depression, and palliative care to help the terminally ill die peacefully. The Food and Drug Administration has approved some initial clinical trials. And psychotherapists are experimenting in both clinical and clandestine settings. There is a quiet revolution in the way doctors and government officials talk and think about psychedelics. In just a few years, some of these drugs could be publicly available.
Michael Pollan teaches writing at Harvard and the University of California at Berkeley. He is a contributing writer to the New York Times Magazine and the bestselling author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food, The Botany of Desire and How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us. Time magazine named him on its list of the one hundred most influential people in the world. From Alternative Radio, 1 (800) 444-1977, www.alternativeradio.org

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record # 1047- Interview #16 with Jim DiEugenio about "Destiny Betrayed"
This is the sixteenth 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.
The program opens with continuation of discussion of an unfortunate piece from The Huffington Post about Clay Shaw. In addition to parroting canards about Garrison's case being baseless, Clay Shaw being a "Wilsonian/FDR liberal" and Garrison's nonexistent stance that the JFK assassination was a "homosexual thrill killing" by Clay Shaw & company, the HP piece mentioned an appearance by Jim Garrison on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show."
The actual story of Garrison's appearance on Carson is important and interesting. When the brilliant comedian Mort Sahl was on Carson's show, the subject of the Garrison investigation came up. Sahl asked the audience if they would like to have Garrison come on the show, and they responded with overwhelming enthusiasm.
Eventually, Garrison did appear on the show and Carson engaged in an openly confrontational discussion. Carson was so outraged that he told Mort Sahl that he would never appear on the program again. Mort did not appear on the "Tonight" show until Jay Leno succeeded Carson as the host.
In this regard, it is worth noting that NBC-the network that aired Walter Sheridan's hit piece on Garrison-has profound connections to the intelligence community, as discussed in FTR #1045.
Jim also relates that, when in Los Angeles, Robert Kennedy was querying China Lee-Mort's wife at the time-about what Garrison was doing in New Orleans. As we have seen in past programs-including FTR #'s 809, 892, 1005-Robert Kennedy was waiting until he got elected President before opening an investigation into his brother's murder. Of course, he, too was killed before he could become President.
The program then turns to James Kirkwood, another of the designated media hatchet men who pilloried Garrison. Networked with James Phelan, he helped mint the canard that Garrison prosecuted Shaw in the context of what the DA supposedly saw as a "homosexual thrill killing." Unfortunately, this nonsense has endured, as a Huffington Post article makes clear.
Another of the media hit men who defamed Garrison was David Chandler:...
The subject then turns to Clay Shaw's defense team. It should never be forgotten that Shaw's attorneys networked with: the infiltrators into Garrison's office, the CIA and the media hatchet men who helped destroy Garrison's public image.
.
The program concludes with the obstructive efforts of then Attorney General Ramsey Clark.
Clark tried to dismiss Clay Shaw's involvement in the assassination by claiming that the FBI had cleared him back in 1963.
Destiny Betrayed by Jim DiEugenio; Skyhorse Publishing [SC]; Copyright 1992, 2012 by Jim DiEugenio; ISBN 978-1-62087-056-3; p. 261.
. . . . One point man for the Johnson Administration in damaging Garrison's case was Ramsey Clark. In March of 1867, right after his confirmation as Attorney General by the Senate Judiciary Committee, Clark made an extraordinary intervention into the case: he told a group of reporters Garrison's case was baseless. The FBI, he said, had already investigated Shaw in 1963 and found no connection between him and the events in Dallas. . . .
'Clark also assisted with the quashing of subpoenas that Garrison served.'
Finally, Clark denied Garrison proper access to autopsy photos and information about the assassination.'
. . . . After the Attorney General had bungled his first attempt to discredit Garrison's case, he secretly tried another method. Garrison had been trying to secure the original JFK autopsy photos and X-rays to exhibit at the trial. They would form an important part of his case, since, to prove a conspiracy, he had to present evidence against the Warren Report, which maintained there was no conspiracy and that Oswald had acted alone. In 1968, Clark convened a panel of experts-which did not include any of the doctors who had performed the original examinations-to review the autopsy photos and X-rays. In early 1969, just a few days before he left office and on the eve of the trial, Clark announced that this panel had endorsed the findings of the Warren Report. The panel released its findings, but none of the original evidence on which it was based. This was clearly meant to influence public opinion before Shaw's trial began. . . .

1-2 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1048 - Interview #17 with Jim DiEugenio about "Destiny Betrayed"
Guy Banister employee Tommy Baumler: " . . . . whatever happens, the Shaw case will end without punishment for him [Shaw], because federal power will see to that."
This is the seventeenth 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 proceed into New Orleans' DA Jim Garrison's actual trial of Clay Shaw.
Before going into the trial, per se, we highlight the "turning" of The New Orleans States-Item. This "turning" features one of the principal infiltrators into Garrison's office, William Gurvich.
Garrison's investigation was subjected to an onslaught, including outright, state-sponsored terror directed at witnesses.
A synoptic overview of the witnesses and their significance:
1.-Richard Case Nagell-A U.S. intelligence operative infiltrated into Soviet intelligence, and then assigned by KGB to assassinate Oswald, whom they knew was to be a patsy in an assassination plot against JFK for which they would be blamed.
2.-Reverend Clyde Johnson-A right-wing activist who was witness to Clay Shaw and a "Jack Rubion" networking together against JFK.
3.-Aloysius Habighorst-A good New Orleans cop who was the booking officer for Clay Shaw, when Shaw volunteered that he used the alias "Clay Bertrand."
4.-Edwin McGehee-One of the witnesses connecting Clay Shaw to Oswald and David Ferrie in Clinton, Louisiana.
5.-Reeves Morgan-Another of the witnesses connecting Clay Shaw to Oswald and David Ferrie in Clinton, Louisiana.
Destiny Betrayed by Jim DiEugenio; Skyhorse Publishing [SC]; Copyright 1992, 2012 by Jim DiEugenio; ISBN 978-1-62087-056-3; p. 294.
. . . . Before and during the trial, Garrison's witnesses were being surveilled, harassed, and physically attacked. For instance, Richard Case Nagell had a grenade thrown at him from a speeding car in New York. Nagell brought the remains of the grenade to Garrison and told him he did not think it wise for him to testify at Shaw's trial. Even though Garrison had spirited Clyde Johnson out of town and very few people knew where he was, the FBI's total surveillance eventually paid off. He was brutally beaten on the eve of the trial and hospitalized. Aloysius Habighorst, the man who booked Shaw and heard him say his alias was Bertrand, was rammed by a truck the day before he testified. After he testified, Edwin McGehee found a prowler on his front lawn. he called the marshal, and the man was arrested. At the station, the man asked to make one phone call. The call he made was to the International Trade Mart. After he testified, Reeves Morgan had the windows shot out of his truck. What makes all this violent intimidation more startling is what Robert Tanenbaum stated to the author in an interview for Probe Magazine. He said that he had seen a set of documents that originated in the office of Richard Helms. They revealed that the CIA was monitoring and harassing Garrison's witnesses. . . .
The violent harassment of the witnesses may be viewed against the backdrop of Tom Bethell and Sal Panzeca.
Shaw attorney Sal Panzeca received a list of Garrison witnesses from Garrison office infiltrator Tom Bethell.
