MONDAY NIGHT, JUNE 22

12-1 Danny Sheehan "No Accountability = No Confidence" (June 12, 2020)
Important talk on current events!!
Recorded in Tatanka's living room, Santa Cruz
'The Peoples Advocate,' the autobiography of American Constitutional Trial Attorney Daniel Sheehan. Sheehan traces his personal journey from his working-class roots through Harvard Law School and his initial career in private practice. His early disenchantment led to his return for further study at Harvard Divinity School, and rethinking the nature of his career. Eventually his role as President and Chief Trial Counselor for the famous Washington, DC-based Christic Institute would help define his role as America's preeminent cause lawyer.

In 'The Peoples Advocate,' Sheehan details "the inside story" of over a dozen historically significant American legal cases of the 20th Century, all of which he litigated. The remarkable cases covered in the book include both The Pentagon Papers Case in 1971 and The Watergate Burglary Case in 1973. In addition, Sheehan served as the Chief Attorney on The Karen Silkwood Case in 1976, which revealed the CIA's Israeli Desk had been smuggling 98% bomb-grade plutonium to the State of Israel and to Iran. In 1984, he was the Chief Trial Counsel on The American Sanctuary Movement Case, establishing the right of American church workers to provide assistance to Central American political refugees fleeing Guatemalan and Salvadorian "death squads." His involvement with the sanctuary movement ultimately led to Sheehan's famous Iran/Contra Federal Civil Racketeering Case against the Reagan/Bush Administration, which he investigated, initiated, filed, and then litigated. The resulting "Iran/Contra Scandal" nearly brought down that Administration, leading Congress to consider the impeachment of over a dozen of the top-ranking officials of the Reagan/Bush Administration.

The Peoples Advocate is the "real story" of these and many other historic American cases, told from the unique point of view of a central lawyer.

1-1:30 Joanna Macy - Resilience
On June 6, 2019 Joanna Macy, the environmental activist, author, scholar of Buddhism and Deep Ecology was one of two keynote speakers at The New School at Commonweal's Resilience Project in Bolinas, California. A longtime San Francisco/Bay Area resident - she had just celebrated her 90th birthday.
The question, that the participants at the Commonweal event had come to explore, was: Is resilience a possible response in the face of climate change and civilizational collapse. And what might resilience look like.
Joanna Macy gave a personal and movingly psychological/philosophical talk, led a brief exercise in Open Questioning and closed with generous credits to writers and their ideas that are helpful in navigating and intervening in the collapsing civilization around us.

12-12:30 Prof. Michael Osterholm - Corona Virus Update (June 12)
''Can We All Return to Normal Now?''

Dr. Michael Osterholm had told USA Today earlier this year: 'We're just in the second inning of a nine-inning game' That's why members of the Midway Chamber of Commerce in Minnesota met with him on line on June 12, 2020. He gave an update and they asked him questions.

Dr. Osterholm holds many titles and functions at the University of Minnesota, among them Regents Professor in Public Health, and he is director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP). They work to prevent illness and death from infectious disease. CIDRAP translates scientific information into real-world, practical applications, policies, and solutions.

Osterholm is the author of the 2017 book, ''Deadliest Enemy - Our War Against Killer Germs.'' He not only details the most pressing infectious disease threats of our day but, most importantly, lays out a nine-point strategy on how to address them. Preventing a global flu pandemic is at the top of the list.

Thanks to Chad Kudas, executive director of the Midway Chamber of Commerce. He hosted this interview with Prof. Osterholm on June 12, 2020.

Society's Crisis Goes Deeper than Bad Police
Gary Null PhD
Growing up in the small West Virginian city of Parkersburg was like living in peaceful times where everyone knew their neighbors. The police did not wear bullet proof vests, carry semi-automatic weapons and taser guns, or bring in armored vehicles when there were social disturbances. There were no SWAT teams breaking doors nor racial profiling through Stop and Frisk policies. People prided themselves in knowing there was a police officer living in their neighborhood. We all attended the same schools. The only segregated street historically for the Black community was called Sumner Street.

Yet all of that changed after the Second World War. In 1950, my best friend Tony Bartlett was an African American neighbor who lived down the street. If there was any racism, it was silent and hidden. However, I was just a kid, too young to appreciate the African American experience of systemic and repressive racism.

What I did know was that the police force could assure law and order without ever unholstering their guns. My godfather was Russell Mawry who was the police chief. He said that for the majority of non violent crimes there was no need for heavy-handed tactics. Rather these were misdemeanors due to poor judgment by neighbors and could be handled peacefully.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, JUNE 24

12-1 Dave Emory, ''For The Record #1126 - Bio-Psy-Op Apocalypse Now, Part 2: The Democracy-Killing Virus''
We begin a series of programs highlighting various aspects of the "three-dimensional chess" aspect of the Covid-19 "bio-psy-op" we feel is underway. Actually six or seven dimensional chess might be a better way of expressing this analytical concept.

It is of paramount importance for listeners/readers to understand that the conceptual breakdown is for cognitive clarity only. The bio-psy-op" is multi-dimensional in its entirety and must be understood to be a type of "fascist/totalitarian lasagna" with many layers to be consumed.

In this program, we present ways in which the Covid-19 outbreak is subverting democracy, both inside and outside of the United States.

Although he has only flirted with exercising them, to date, Trump does indeed have some emergency powers that can be invoked to further his agenda" " . . . . The most notable aspect of presidential emergency action documents might be their extreme secrecy. It's not uncommon for the government to classify its plans or activities in the area of national security. . . . By contrast, we know of no evidence that the executive branch has ever consulted with Congress - or even informed any of its members - regarding the contents of presidential emergency action documents. . . .

Next, we add that the Bio-Psy-Op Apocalypse is spawning totalitarian manifestations-not surprisingly-at the Department of Justice headed by "ex" CIA officer William Barr. " . . . . The request raised eyebrows because of its potential implications for habeas corpus - the constitutional right to appear before a judge after arrest and seek release' . . ."

The military's contingency plans have been partially activated: " . . . . While being hit with coronavirus at rates equivalent to the civilian population, the U.S. military has activated its 'defense support of civil authorities' apparatus, establishing liaisons in all 50 states, activating units and command posts, and moving forces to provide medical, transportation, logistics, and communications support in New York and Washington states.. . . ."

Privacy is being dramatically curtailed under cover of combatting the virus: " . . . . As Thomas Gaulkin of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists noted earlier this month, many Americans- often fierce in their objections to perceived government overreach into their lives-might normally object to dystopian images of flying robots policing lockdowns. But these, of course, are not normal times. 'If drones do begin to hover over U.S. streets to help control this pandemic,' Gaulkin wrote, 'it will be yet another visible reminder that we've entered a public health Twilight Zone where Americans have no better option than to embrace what was once only imaginable, and never real.' . . . "

The alpha predator of the electronic surveillance landscape is Peter Thiel's Palantir. They have landed two key government contracts in connection with the Covid-19 outbreak:" . . . . Palantir, the $20 billion-valued Palo Alto tech company backed by Facebook-funder Peter Thiel, has been handed a $17.3 million contract with one of the leading health bodies leading the charge against COVID-19. It's the biggest contract handed to a Silicon Valley company to assist America's COVID-19 response, according to Forbes' review of public contracts, and comes as other Californian giants like Apple and Google try to figure out how best to help governments fight the deadly virus. . . .

Exemplifying the multi-dimensional chess scenario in connection with the "bio-psy-op" is the GOP's plan to use the Covid-19 outbreak to scapegoat China and tar the Democrats and Joe Biden with the same brush. Of particular note in this regard is the Steve Bannon-J. Kyle Bass-Tommy Hicks, Jr. triumvirate discussed in-among other programs-FTR #'s 1111 and 1112.

Exemplary, as well, of the bio-psy-op as synthesis of covert operation and political crusading is the GOP's cynical manipulation of emergency appropriations to achieve their longstanding objective of crippling state and local governments, as well as driving the Postal Service into bankruptcy. Privatizing postal service has been a right-wing/GOP objective for a long time. " . . . . Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows what is really happening: McConnell is trying to get more money for businesses while continuing to shortchange state and local governments. After all, "starve the beast" - forcing governments to cut services by depriving them of resources - has been Republican strategy for decades. This is just more of the same. . . . Oh, and Trump personally has ruled out aid for the Postal Service. . . ."

1-2 Dave Emory ''For The Record #1127 - Bio-Psy-Op Apocalypse Now, Part 3-The Eugenic Virus
POSTED BY DAVE EMORY ⋅ APRIL 28, 2020 ⋅

This program examines one of the multi-layered effects of the Covid-19 "bio-psy-op." We stress that the demarcation of these layers is for cognitive purposes-to enhance understanding. The layers are part of a unified whole.

In this broadcast, we focus on the eugenic effects of the virus. We have covered eugenics in many broadcasts over the decades. A few of those: FTR #'s 1075, 1029, 908, 909, 32, 1013. FTR #1013 is of particular importance, as Trump has used the Covid-19 outbreak to halt immigration into the U.S.

Before delving into the eugenics manifestations of the Covid-19 outbreak, we highlight some of the recent developments in the pandemic:

1.-A recent report, based on random testing, indicated that up to one fifth of New Yorkers may have been infected by the virus. If accurate, this is an important piece of information, indicating that, from an epidemiological standpoint, the virus did NOT originate in China.

2.-We strongly suspect that New York was deliberately vectored by fascist elements associated with the Trump administration at one level, and the Underground Reich at another. This methodology would not be unprecedented: ". . . . In the summer of 1966, Special Operations men walked into three New York City subway stations and tossed lightbulbs filled with Bacillus subtilis, a benign bacteria, onto the tracks. The subway trains pushed the germs through the entire system and theoretically killed over a million passengers. . . ."

3.-We note increased finger-pointing at, scapegoating of, China for the pandemic, on the part of Britain, Germany and France, in addition to Trump and elements of the intelligence community: " . . . .Washington is simultaneously spreading deliberate rumors that the virus could have originated in a Chinese laboratory. Whereas, scientists vehemently refute the allegations, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas declared, he 'does not want to exclude' that the WHO will have to deal with these issues. On Monday, Chancellor Angela Merkel called on Beijing to show 'transparency' on the issue. . . . At the same time deliberate rumors are being spread in the United States that the Covid-19 virus could have originated in a Chinese laboratory - possibly in bioweapons lab. The US government indicated that it does not rule out this possibility;...

4.-We also note a disturbing aspect of the symptoms of a cross-vectored, genetically-engineered virus that is the precipitating event for the Nazi takover in the US in Serpent's Walk: " . . . first, and just as harmless by itself. It reacts with Pacov-1 to produce a powerful coagulant. . . . you die within three minutes. . . ."
5.-The coagulating pathology produced by Pacov-1 and Pacov-2 in Serpent's Walk is unnervingly similar to one of the many symptoms of Covid-19 infection: " . . . .

Doctors in hot spots across the globe have begun to report an unexpected prevalence of blood clotting among COVID cases, in what could pose a perfect storm of potentially fatal risk factors. . . . . .

Eugenics, in its practice, might best be described as a pseudo-scientific doctrine attributing features of racial, ethnic and socio-economic prejudice to empirical scientific fact. " . . . Eugenics is a set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population,[4][5] typically by excluding people and groups judged to be inferior, and promoting those judged to be superior. . . .

Discussion of the eugenic aspects of the Covid-19 phenomenon include:

1.-De facto rationing of health care during the pandemic in such a way as to potentially lethally discriminate against those with disabilities.
2.-Infection and death rates disproportionately high among populations enduring the economic and physiological affliction deriving from prejudice and social darwinistic doctrine: African-Americans, people who work in low-paying jobs that require close human contact and living in conditions that do not permit social distancing.
3.-The economically degrading effect of GOP fiscal policy with regard to public transportation during the pandemic.
4.-New York City has been stigmatized during the pandemic, as has New York State. With large Jewish, African-American and Latino populations, a tradition of liberal politics, generous municipal union contracts, a free city university program, New York has long been viewed as "Jew York City" by fascist elements. Governors, as well as Trump himself, have proposed quarantining New York City and New Jersey. This further underscores the above speculation concerning the rate of infection in New York City. " . . . . As President Trump put it in his short-lived bid to 'QUARANTINE' New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, 'Some people would like to see New York quarantined because it's a hot spot' - the implication being that if New Yorkers could only be kept where they are, with checkpoints and guards if need be, Covid-19 could be stopped from spreading elsewhere in the country. Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida set up checkpoints to stop cars with New York or Louisiana license plates, so that state troopers can warn drivers to self-quarantine or face 60 days in jail - even as he hesitated to put any social distancing in place or close the beaches for spring break. Instead of admitting the danger of community spread in Florida, the governor framed the problem as one of outsiders bringing germs in. Governors in Maryland and other states warned anyone arriving from the New York City area to isolate themselves. On Twitter, Covid-19 has taken on a new sobriquet: the 'Cuomovirus.' . . ."

Critical observations by Wolfgang Schauble, the German/EU "Austerity Czar" who wrought so much suffering following the 2008 economic collapse has clearly enunciated the functional and philosophical essence of "corporatist" and eugenic doctrine.

This, too, is reflected in the Trumpian "LIBERATE MICHIGAN etc."

Some background on Schauble's outlook: " . . . . Hardly a German government representative is more notorious than Wolfgang Schäuble - worldwide. During the international financial crisis, when Schäuble was Germany's Minister of Finance, his EU counterparts trembled: Schäuble wanted to force them to adapt harsh austerity measures. Because the foreseeable social consequences would cost lives, Schäuble's tactics seemed to scare Europe with 'traumatic effects' and gave it a lesson in German economic ethics: Teutonic brutality and at all costs. 'Terrifying,' was the assessment the US Treasury Secretary made following his conversation with Schäuble. Paris and Madrid were also apprehensive; Athens called Schäuble an 'arsonist,' on a rampage through Europe. Schäuble has since climbed higher on the government ladder. Schäuble now ranks second, after the President, in the Federal Republic of Germany's protocolary system. . . . ."

The broadcast concludes with an overview of New York Times headlines, illustrating various aspects of the socio-economic fallout of the Covid-19 outbreak, victimizing lower income people, reducing income and earning ability, educational opportunity, adversely affecting access to food and auguring catastrophe for Third World populations:...
