BEHIND THE SCENES
Next Monday, August 31, 6pm, is the final day of the current fund drive. Our goal had been $600,000. When we found that was impossible, it was cut to the ‘must have now’ $300,000. As of Sunday morning we have received $222,487 in pledges. We have been operating without an active and present manager, no program director, nobody in charge of the fund drive. The plan of the board is unknown but the local board will be making a statement on Tuesday 7pm, KPFK.
Between now and then we expect the Los Angeles Superior Court to make a decision on the legality of the recent New Day Pacifica vs. Old Pacifica vote and the ex post facto change from voting ‘yes vs. no’ to ‘staffs vs. members’ (subscribers) on a 2 tier grouping. The two tier vote is in the Pacifica Bylaws but only if one side winning would create a hard time for the staffs. This was not in force or mentioned anywhere before the votes were counted.
The next paid staff in line to be fired are me (Roy), Maggie LaPique (Music Director) and Alex (our computer man) if the surprise switch to two tier election is judged legal. (Sonali has left KPFK). The paid staff normally brought in 60% of our income and the firings have not helped us make goal.

Dear Roy,
Thank you for your continued support as a member of Lakota People’s Law Project! Your gifts have gone a long way in helping equip the Lakota Law team for so many vital efforts, including resistance against Enbridge’s tar sands pipeline, Line 3.
I, along with colleagues also taking action on-the-ground and behind-the-scenes at Line 3, are excited to invite you to a members-only event:
On Zoom, Sept. 9th from 3-4 p.m. PDT
RSVP now to reserve your spot!
Together, we will take an inside look at the movement to #StopLine3.
For over a month, Lakota Law has maintained a steady presence on the frontlines, in partnership with Camp Migizi. We have earned trust, built friendships, and provided financial and media support. With your help, we have been doing our part to create and share content and organize. Our goal? Persuade President Biden to do the right thing and shut this noxious pipeline down.
At this member event, I’ll talk with you about my experiences reporting from the frontlines. Joining me will be my colleague, Witko Clifford. A talented videographer and editor, Witko has been capturing the nonstop direct action. We will also hear a message from another of Lakota Law’s newest team members, our online community manager, Sarah Rose Harper. Sarah Rose will outline the role of social media in activist movements and share how you can best help support Line 3 efforts, whether you’re in Minnesota or online in your home.
RSVP now to join us Sept 9th as we explore the roles that organizing, alliance-building, direct actions, videography, media creation, and social media take in activist movements like this one. Join us for this special event, and hear how your contributions are making a difference at Line 3.
We are in this fight together!
In solidarity and with gratitude,

2-2:30 Firestorm, How Wildfire Will Shape Our Future
From Radio Ecoshock
By MariaAugust 24, 2021Newest Podcasts
Alex Smith interviewed Ed Struzik on the recent out of control firestorms and how wetlands can limit their spread This extraordinary conversation between Alex Smith and Ed Struzik was broadcast on August 18, 2021, on the weekly one-hour radio show Ecoshock.
Struzik is a science journalist and Fellow at Queens University, Canada. In his book FIRESTORM he visits scorched earth from Alaska to Maine, and introduces the scientists, firefighters, and resource managers making the case for a radically different approach to managing wildfire in the 21st century. Wildfires can no longer be treated as avoidable events because the risk and dangers are becoming too great and costly.
Alex Smith also asks about Struzik’s October 2021 book SWAMPLANDS and the struggle being waged to save peatlands and their rich biological heritage. Swamps and peatlands also happen to be the best antidote to wildfires – unless they are drained for fossil fuel extraction or palm oil plantations and then can burn for months – spewing methane.
Radio Ecoshock is produced in Western Canada and heard on over 104 non-commercial radio stations in 5 countries. Host Alex Smith covers climate change in personal direct interviews with scientists and authors. Check out 15 years of programming on his website: https://www.ecoshock.net/

12-1 ‘This Week’ With Mary + Polly: Beginning of ‘Whole New Social Order’ Based on Vax Status + More
In “This Week” with Mary Holland, Children’s Health Defense president, and Polly Tommey, co-producer of “Vaxxed,” Mary and Polly discuss the latest COVID vaccine news.

This week, Mary Holland, Children’s Health Defense (CHD) president, and Polly Tommey, co-producer of “Vaxxed,” cover the latest COVID headlines, including data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) that shows a total of 595,622 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 13,068 deaths and 81,050 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020 and Aug. 13, 2021.
Also on tap this week is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine — an approval critics say is based only on six months’ worth of data with no public discussion period.
Mary and Polly also cover the FDA’s decision to call the newly approved Pfizer shot “Comirnaty,” a Bloomberg report that says vaccinated people are getting COVID at a “surprisingly high rate” and a new study that found fully vaccinated healthcare workers carry 251 times the viral load of COVID viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated…
1-1:30 Dr. Peter McCullough Tells RFK, Jr.: ‘The Vaccines Are Failing’
On the “RFK, Jr. The Defender Podcast,” Dr. Peter McCullough discussed a new study by the Oxford University Clinical Research Group and how the Pfizer’s vaccine, at 17% to 42% efficacy, doesn't meet the regulatory standard of 50% efficacy for vaccines.

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rfk-jr-podcast-dr-peter-mccullough-vaccines-are-failing/
Why is the world experiencing such a “prominent outbreak” of the Delta variant when so many people have been vaccinated?
Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough addressed those questions and more on the “RFK Jr. The Defender Podcast.”
New research shows people who are vaccinated against COVID are more susceptible to the Delta variant, said McCullough, pointing to a pre-print study by the prestigious Oxford University Clinical Research Group published Aug. 10 in The Lancet
A preprint paper by the prestigious Oxford University Clinical Research Group, published Aug. 10 in The Lancet, found vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the load of COVID-19 viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated.
The paper’s authors demonstrated widespread vaccine failure and transmission under tightly controlled circumstances in a hospital lockdown in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. The study found vaccinated people carry 251 times the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated.
“They had an outbreak and they locked down the hospital where the workers could not get out,” said McCullough. “They were assiduously checking the workers and testing them for COVID, as well as doing sequencing.”
The researchers found workers were still getting COVID during the lockdown period, said McCullough, and they were passing it to one another.
The study’s big finding is their calculation of viral load, McCullough said:
“This group had actually calculated viral load from oral and nasal secretions in the past. The viral load was 251 times that of the previous unvaccinated era where they had used the same methodology. So, they had previous workers and patients who had COVID-19 before any exposure to the vaccines. And now the vaccinated were carrying a massive viral load and passing it to one another.”
The efficacy for the Pfizer vaccine is measured as being anywhere from 17% to 42% effective.
“These levels are far below the 50% regulatory standard to even have a vaccine on the market,” said McCullough.
Regardless of the variant or the vaccine, McCullough said the bottom line is that “the vaccines are failing.”

12-1 Dave Emory, For the Record #1192
FTR#1192 The Oswald Institute of Virology, Part 11: The 800-Pound Gorilla in the Room
POSTED BY DAVE EMORY ⋅ JULY 15, 2021 ⋅
The title of the program stems from a deadly dichotomization of the discussion of the origin of Covid-19 into either: “A naturally-occurring phenomenon” OR “The Lab Leak Theory.”
Tellingly missing is the deliberately-created, biological warfare pandemic hypothesis that Mr. Emory has been advancing since the very beginning of the pandemic. (This analysis was first advanced in FTR#‘s 1111 & 1112. This program was recorded in early February of 2020.)
With Michael R. Gordon helping craft journalistic justification for the “Lab-Leak Theory” and Philip Zelikow chairing a commission investigating Covid-19, we are seeing players in the PNAC/Iraqi WMD/9/11 nexus being recycled in connection with that theory.
In that context, we review a study released by US National Academy of Sciences at the request of the Department of Defense about the threats of synthetic biology concluded that the techniques to tweak and weaponize viruses from known catalogs of viral sequences is very feasible and relatively easy to do.
Note that the Pentagon has funded research into bat-borne coronaviruses in China and at the “Oswald Institute of Virology,” through various vehicles, including and especially (in combination with USAID) the EcoHealth Alliance .
That research has led to the publication of research papers including some featuring the genomes of bat-borne coronaviruses.
Once those papers are published, the viruses can be “printed out” at will, either as direct copies or as mutated viruses…

1-2 Hackers and Democracy
Program #WEBM001. Recorded in Vancouver, BC on March 31, 2021.
The digital age has given birth to hackers who carry out cyberattacks on our personal data, on pipelines, energy grids and meat processing plants. There are also hackers who practice the sharing of software, open sourcing and the secure free flow of information. Maureen Webb says those hackers “are making some of the most important contributions to preserving our liberal democratic tradition in the 21st century.”
Maureen Webb is a labor lawyer and human rights activist. She has taught national security law as an Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia. She is the author of Illusions of Security: Global Surveillance and Democracy in the Post-9/11 World and Coding Democracy: How Hackers Are Disrupting Power, Surveillance, and Authoritarianism.

1-2 Micah Mortali “Rewilding”.
Micah Mortali is the director of the Kripalu School, a certified yoga teacher, and a longtime wilderness guide. With Sounds True, he has published Rewilding: Meditations, Practices, and Skills for Awakening in Nature. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with Micah about humanity’s growing disconnection from the earth and how “rewilding” can help slow that trend. They talk about rewilding both as individuals and as part of whole ecosystems. Micah also shares the story of an intense, revelatory trail encounter with a bear and comments on the “species loneliness” of urban environments. Mulling the sense of grief they have for humankind’s effects on the environment, Tami and Micah consider how modern people can grapple with being in exile from the natural world. Finally, they discuss the barriers many have to reentering nature, as well as ways to initiate your own rewilding experience no matter where you are.(64 minutes).
