BEHIND THE SCENES
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
February 2021 marks the 44th birthday of "Something's Happening!'' The program began 3 days before the birth of our General Manager Anyel. So he missed 3 entire nights!!
44 years adds up to about 20,800 hours of dynamite radio. There are some listeners who have listened to most of those hours and still haven't made a donation to the station!


The current fund drive is expected to continue through the first week in March. But I'm happy to report that Pacifica Foundation has received a PP2 forgivable loan (paycheck protection) of $1.2 million from the government which might be a forgivable if we follow the rules of use. But we have also lost two more staff members: Kevin our Program Director and Christine who has been bringing in about 1 1/2 million dollars a year with her fund drive presentations, which was about 20 times her salary. This raises suspicions about some board members who want to fire everyone and take over control of all station operations with 'volunteers.' (they are all totally bereft of any radio experience). One local board member has suggested organizing a 'militia' to march into all 5 stations and 'kick the mothers out.' She is not supported by a majority, but there is the problem of station income being insufficient, so we are pressing for a $700,000 fund drive total. Anyel, our very highly supported (by the staff) General Manager is also hoping for 5000 new members. This problem is reminiscent of the time in the early 1980's when we actually shut down the station for a couple of weeks due to financial problems. Enough people chipped in during our absence from the air that we were able to reopen. (I had the agonizing job as engineer of pressing the button to turn the station off, but also the happy opportunity to turn it back on). (818) 985-5735, www.kpfk.org.




"FUND DRIVE SCHEDULE"
This means program times will be approximate and some programs will not played if no calls are coming in. But General Manager Anyel does want 'soft fund drives' to continue to be the policy so I have long ago omitted 'punishment' programs (but they were fun and frequently successful)

He worked for no pay. This dramatic program celebrated the lives of Black People from the 1700's through the 1940's, known and unknown, who were revolutionaries, politicians, poets, scientists, musicians, athletes and explorers.

12:30-1:30 The Gary Null Show 1.20.21
Reasons to Question the Covid-19 Vaccine Narrative


At his moment, hundreds of millions of people worldwide eagerly await the chance to be vaccinated against the SARS-2 virus. They have been given the assurance, through an endless barrage of media reports and commentaries, that these vaccines are safe and will prevent serious infection. We are told they are 95 percent effective, so how can we do much better than that?


However, after examining the documentation that has been made available so far, there are very clear and legitimate challenges to this massive global propaganda campaign. Moreover, now that aggressive efforts are underway by governments and national health ministries for rapid vaccine deployment, we are beginning to receive a steady flow of reports about serious life-threatening injuries and deaths among people already receiving the first of two shots.


The state of California’s head epidemiologist has called for halting the distribution of a specific lot number of Moderna’s vaccine after a series of concerning allergic reactions started occurring in clusters at various inoculation sites. Deaths in Norway after vaccination have risen to 33. Norway is now warning against vaccinating older patients with pre-existing illnesses. Last week a probe by the Paul Ehrlich Institute was launched after 10 elderly Germans died within 4 days of vaccination. Germany is also reporting many other severe side effects including anaphylaxis.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 3
FUND DRIVE SCHEDULE




12-1 Dave Emory, For the Record #1158
FTR #‘s 1157, 1158 and 1159–Bio-Psy-Op Apocalypse Now, Parts 17, 18 and 19: An Ounce of Prevention, Parts 2, 3 and 4


A noteworthy development in the Covid-19 “op” concerns the selection of experts to oversee The Lancet’s investigation of the origins of the SARS CoV‑2.
In FTR #1156, we looked at the involvement of known U.S. intelligence cut-outs–notably USAID–and their funding of programs ostensibly aimed at preventing epidemics. Those programs involved the “Gain-of-Function” mutation of bat-borne coronaviruses, creating novel “chimeric” viruses that never existed before.
The ostensible purpose was to “prevent” future epidemics. We wondered in FTR #1156 if those ostensible epidemic “prevention” programs may have masked epidemic propagation programs, rather like Unit 731.
Peter Daszak of the EcoHealth Alliance was selected to lead the project.
His perspective would, on the surface, appear to be less than objective, in as much as he championed the very type of GOF experiments that are at the center of this inquiry.
Of interest, as well, is the selection of Jeffrey Sachs, an economist, member of the [Bernie] Sanders Institute, economic adviser to Bernie Sanders, economic adviser to AOC and, most importantly, head of the [partly] government financed Harvard Institute of International Development which (as advisers to Boris Yeltsin) drove the Russian economy back to the Stone Age.
Sachs has no medical or scientific credentials.
A consummately important article about Daszak and the EcoHealth Alliance provides troubling insights into the uneven professional track record of Daszak and the profound involvement of the organization he heads with the Pentagon and other U.S. national security establishment institutions.
EcoHealth Alliance looks disturbingly like an organization that fronts for elements and individuals involved with biological warfare research.
“Peter Daszak, President of EcoHealth Alliance, is a top scientific collaborator, grantwriter and spokesperson for virus hunters and gain-of-function/dual-use researchers, in labs both military and civilian…

fact, be our own consciousness - sensed in the form of an external
