BEHIND THE SCENES - ATTEND LOCAL BOARD 'ZOOM' MEETING SUNDAY!!!
Here is information to listen to and call in to make comments for the upcoming Local Station Board meeting.
Let's all show our appreciation and support for Anyel.
I believe there may be a limit to the number of people that can call in at once, so it's best to listen to the stream and then call in when they get close to the public comment sections of the agenda.
The meeting is set to begin
at 10:30, but they are often disorganized and can take a while to get started. I predict the first public comment section won't happen until after
11 am. I'll send you the Agenda as soon as it's distributed.
I hope that many of you can attend, even if it's just to make a comment of support during the first "Public Comment" segment. Since the board rarely hears from those actually involved with running the station, its important they hear how we feel about what they are planning to do.

1:30-2:30 "Smash the Mirror: Imagining a Different System"
Program #HARD003. Recorded in New York, NY on November 11, 2020.
The global health and economic crises are points of opportunity. Arundhati Roy, the great Indian intellectual and writersays,"Whateverit is, coronavirus has made the mighty kneel and brought the world to a halt like nothing else could. And in the midst of this terrible despair, it offers us a chance to rethink the doomsday machine we have built for ourselves. Nothing could be worse than a return to normality. Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next. We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it."
David Harvey is the Distinguished Professor of Anthropology and Geography at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He is the author of many books, includingThe Limits to Capital, A Brief History of Neoliberalism, Spaces of Global Capitalism, A Companion to Marx's Capital, Seventeen Contradictionsand theEnd of CapitalismandThe Ways of the World. He is among the top twenty most cited authors in the humanities and is the world's most cited academic geographer.
2:30-3:30 "Capitalism, the Pandemic, & the Two-Party Monopoly"
Recorded in Buckland, MA, Jackson, MS
on November 14, 2020.Order Transcript (
The pandemic has revealed a huge systemic failure in the ability of the U.S. to effectively attend to the well-being of millions of its citizens. World-class inequality has exacerbated the situation. You don't need a degree from MIT to figure out the score. The rich get the gold and most of the rest of us get the shaft. Once the dust settles post-pandemic there will be a lot less competition out there. Amazon, Walmart and a few other giants will be left withear to eargrins and swollen bank accounts. Their wealth would make the robber barons of old swoon with envy. The capitalists love to pay lip service to competition but their real goal is total monopoly control. Politics? The same deal. Your choice is limited to two establishment parties.

In unison, editors at theNew York Times,Washington Postand the major multimedia networks encourage everyone to be vaccinated as soon as enough vaccines are available. Anthony Fauci and the captains in the pandemic efforts claim Moderna's and Pfizer's vaccines are about 95 percent effective, and the Department of Health and Human Services is convincing us they are safe and effective. Therefore, we should all willing stand in the waiting line. There is nothing to be concerned about, we are told, except those anti-vaccine heretics, who the World Health Organization has now dubbed among the ten most dangerous risks to global health.

12-1 Dave Emory, For the Record #1165 -Farewell, America Part 4 (The Reeve Whitson File, Part 2''
Continuing discussion of Tom O'Neill's opus Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties, these programs illustrate the "post-democratic" state of American politics by presenting the career of a veteran CIA officer named Reeve Whitson.
Reeve Whitson:
1.-Was alleged by Iranian immigrant Shahrokh Hatami to have phoned him with knowledge of the killings of Sharon Tate, et al, before the crime was reported by the news media and before law enforcement even arrived at the crime scene!
2.-Was alleged by the LAPD's top investigator and Sharon Tate's father (a Colonel in Army intelligence) to have been deeply involved with the Manson investigation.
3.-Was alleged by attorney Neil Cummings to have maintained some kind of surveillance on the Cielo Drive home, as part of some sort of work he was doing for the intelligence community.
4.-Was confirmed as an officer of the CIA by his own ex-wife.
5.-Was known to have felt that he was-in the end-betrayed by the faction of the CIA for which he worked.
6.-Was able to pull strings in a pivotal way: ". . . .A British film director who himself claimed to have ties to MI5, [John] Irvin said that Whitson got meetings 'with minutes' at "the highest levels of the defense industry-it was amazing.' "
7.-Was apparently a close associate of retired General Curtis LeMay, George Wallace's Vice-Presidential candidate in 1968.
8.-Was associated with LeMay when the latter became vice-president of a missile parts manufacturer, which was headed by MihaiPatrichi.Patrichiwas a former Romanian army general and a member of the Romanian Iron Guard, whom we have spoken about and written about in many programs and posts. The Iron Guard was part of theGehlen"Org," the ABN and the GOP.
9.-Was associated, through his intelligence work with OttoSkorzenyand his wife Ilse.
10.-Was the special adviser to the chairman of the board of the Thyssen firm, also as part of his intelligence work.
Concluding the discussion, we present O'Neill's discussion of Lawrence Shiller and Jerry Cohen, two journalists believed by many Warren Commission critics to be media "intelligence assets.
Both Schiller and Cohen helped to shape the "official" version of the Manson Family operations and both cropped up in the context of the JFK assassination as well.

12-1 Alan Watts, "The Game of Yes and No"
"In Chess one plays the white against the black. There is really no victory in the game because white is recognized by white. You can't have one without the other but we're all playing games to try to make white win. You notice that in all Chess puzzles, the problem is white to play and mate in two moves. It's never black."(AW).All Info:
