BEHIND THE SCENES
The fund drive is over!!
As of Sunday morning we are at $196.705 with our goal of $200,000. (you can still pledge at kpfk.org to help fill in the empty space). ‘Something’s Happening!’ Pledges totaled $15,579 with some great nights and some quiet nights. We will be looking at the various nights to see what changes the audience wants in the programming. The Sunday Alan Watts pledges were spectacular seeing that we were cut back to 1/2 hour for pitch and play and ‘play’ was nearly 1/2 hour in itself. But with 3-4 minute fundraising times the show received over $3000 in pledges. The programs may be old but the Sunday AM audience is raring to go!

MONDAY NIGHT, MARCH 14
12-1:15 Danny Sheehan, “CREATING A NEW ULTIMATE ENEMY” – (Nov 10, 2014)
THE ROLE OF THE PUBLIC INTELLECTUAL:
SANTA CRUZ FREE UNIVERSITY FALL 2014
Background and Motivation for “The Role of the Public Intellectual”: Constrained by their State Boards of Regents, State Colleges & Universities of Western Culture impose requirements upon their Professors that compel them to promote beliefs that support both the objectives and ideologies of the Nation State of which they are a part of. Private Colleges of Western Culture are similarly constrained by their Private Boards of Overseers to promote beliefs that support the private financial interests of contributors who personally finance those private Institutions. In Western Culture, these beliefs include: the primacy of the economic system of State Capitalism; the ideologies of Caucasian Racial Superiority and Female Inferiority; the belief in Scientific Logical Positivism and Materialism (these beliefs are often masked as the development of a superior capacity to function intellectually in order to achieve long range goals rather than functioning emotionally to indulge short term personal satisfactions); and the indoctrination of their students in the dual doctrines of Nationalism and The Legitimization of the Resort to the Use of Military Violence to Achieve the Selfish Economic Goals The Elite of their Nation State.
Just as Political Public Office-Holders in State and Federal Governments feel “constrained” from speaking the truth that they have learned in their positions until after they have“retired from public office, College & University Professors inside State and Private Colleges & Universities oft-times feel constrained from sharing with their students their true conclusions about the academic subjects that they have spent a lifetime teaching until after they have achieved Emeritus status – at which time it is often too late to reach a student audience.
It is the goal of SANTA CRUZ COLLEGE to bring these truths to College & University students while they are still in the midst of their undergraduate and graduate school learning experience. This Course, “REALITY 101”: The Secret Science – The Relationship Between Consciousness and Political Action, brings you crusading Harvard Constitutional Litigation Expert and U.C. Santa Cruz Visiting Lecturer Daniel Sheehan outside of the constraints of the public courtroom and of the State University classroom, to share with you, as active and aggressively-seeking students, the truths that he has not been allowed to share with his audiences in America’s courtrooms or in College & University classrooms pertaining to the secret relationship between “Consciousness” and “Political Action” in Western Civilization.

1:30-3:30 John Mearsheimer and Ray McGovern
What Role has the U.S. Played in the Ukraine Crisis?
(March 11)
John Mearsheimer and Ray McGovern with a few others asking questions (Informed and experienced but not identified except by name). Also discussion incorrectly identified as Robert Sheer with Ray McGovern)
(Initial audio Interference at 2-3 min quickly fixed))
John Mearsheimer:
‘’I am the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor in the Political Science Department at the University of Chicago, where I have taught since 1982.
‘’Above all else, I am an international relations theorist. More specifically, I am a realist, which means that I believe that the great powers dominate the international system and they constantly engage in security competition with each other, which sometimes leads to war.
‘’Although I have dedicated my life to scholarship, I have also tried to engage in the policy debates of the day. For example, I was one of the most outspoken opponents of the 2003 Iraq War before it happened. I firmly believe that social science theories are invaluable for making and analyzing foreign policy.’’
(Bios from The Committee for the Republic).
We hosted John for his trenchant analysis of the abject failure our quest for global dominance and for his courageous book with Steve Walton the liability of American support for Israel. John is the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, where he has taught since 1982. He graduated from West Point (1970), has a PhD in political science from Cornell University (1981), and has written extensively about security issues and international politics. In 2003, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2020, he won the James Madison Award, given by the American Political Science Association to “an American political scientist who has made a distinguished scholarly contribution to political science.” His principal work on Ukraine is “Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West’s Fault: The Liberal Delusions That Provoked Putin,” appearing in September-October Foreign Affairs 2014. The video of his talk has been viewed more than 9 million times:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= JrMiSQAGOS4.
Ray McGovern is a long-time Russian specialist. After serving as an Army combat intelligence officer in the early 60s, Ray joined the CIA’s analyst ranks. His first portfolio focused on the Sino-Soviet conflict, which was deftly exploited by Nixon/Kissinger (with more than just interpreter assistance from our own Chas Freeman). As chief of the Soviet Foreign Policy Branch, Ray’s analytical team supported the SALT negotiations and he was in Moscow for the signing of the ABM Treaty, cornerstone of strategic stability for the next three decades. Ray correctly predicted Brezhnev’s invasion of Czechoslovakia but incorrectly predicted Putin would not invade Ukraine. Ray thinks the new Russia-China entente helps explain Putin’s gamble.

3:30-4. ‘’Ukraine is on the Brink of a Nuclear Catastrophe’’ - Linda Pentz Gunter and Dr. Ira Helfand. (Feb. 19)
QUOTE: “We are in an unprecedented situation. For the first time a war is being fought in a region where there are operating nuclear reactors. This presents an extreme risk to human life unlike anything we have seen in previous wars.” That’s a statement from Beyond Nuclear, of Feb. 25, 2022.
For a relatively small country the nuclear statistics are impressive: Ukraine operates 15 reactors, ranking 7th in the world in 2020. The single largest nuclear power plant in Europe is in Ukraine. Ukraine’s power sector is the twelfth-largest in the world in terms of installed capacity. 54 gigawatts are providing over 50% of Ukraine’s electricity.
Linda Pentz Gunter presents a list of 6 catastrophes that can befall a nuclear power plant – from taking a direct intentional or accidental missile strike to the collapse of the grid to operating personnel being unable or unwilling to come to work.
Dr. Ira Helfand is part of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapon (ICAN). Helfand also is a co-Founder and past President of Physicians for Social Responsibility.He describes the consequences of nuclear strikes on major cities.
He and Linda Pentz Gunter participated in a Zoom meeting on the topic of War in Eastern Europe: On the Brink of a Humanitarian Disaster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aPPU2eexnE
They met on February 19, 2022.

Larger and more dire agenda which requires more attention, migrating from Canada and the truckers’ strike to the US from Trudeau to President Biden and the Emergency Powers Act. Affects board of health powers and criminalizing dissent, Unidentifiable ‘soldiers’ for hire’ attacking peaceful demonstrators seen in many countries. World Economic Forum plans published toward worldwide hegemony. Aimed mostly at 20-49 generation. Nature of progressivism has been changing strangely and contradictorily. The action of punishing dissent includes freezing of assets of peaceful protestors with no legal basis and other similar actions. War being waged against Constitution. Killing of small businesses and independent businesses. Drive to Destroy small and independent businesses.

12-1 Dave Emory, ‘’For the Record #1229 - How Many Lies Before You Belong to the Lie”. (Part 2 of 2)
POSTED BY DAVE EMORY ⋅ FEBRUARY 27, 2022 ⋅ 6 COMMENTS
In December of 2021, the U.N. voted 130–2 on a motion to condemn celebrations of Nazism. Only the U.S. and Ukraine voted against it. The EU and UK abstained.
” . . . . ‘By its terms, the Assembly expressed deep concern about the glorification of the Nazi movement, neo-Nazism and former members of the Waffen SS organization, including by erecting monuments and memorials, holding public demonstrations in the name of the glorification of the Nazi past, the Nazi movement and neo-Nazism, and declaring or attempting to declare such members and those who fought against the anti-Hitler coalition, collaborated with the Nazi movement and committed war crimes and crimes against humanity ‘participants in national liberation movements’. . . .”
That embodies the political dynamic underlying the outbreak of war in Ukraine.
The first two of a number of programs that will deal with the outbreak of war in Ukraine, these programs begin the detailed documentation of the ascent of the OUN/B successor groups to positions of power in the national security, police, educational and political establishments in Ukraine.
These program will highlight and recap the exhaustive documentation presented over the roughly eight-year period since the Maidan coup, documenting the OUN/B Nazi dominance in Ukraine.
Note that Putin’s stated war aim: “De-Nazification” is not only substantively relevant, but just.
Mr. Emory doubts that the war will go well. The fighting may well have been sparked by a looming attempt by the Ukrainian government to seize the breakaway provinces by force, supported by U.S. and other Western military supply and clandestine special operations troops–the only circumstance that Mr. Emory felt would precipitate Russian intervention.
The historical and institutional evolution of the fascist OUN/B successor groups in control of Ukraine is excerpted in sections of a Covert Action Magazine article:
Some of the most important U.S. think tanks and associated military individuals and institutions embody this continuity: ” . . . . The continuity of institutional and individual trajectories from Second World War collaborationists to Cold War-era anti-communist organizations to contemporary conservative U.S. think tanks is significant for the ideological underpinnings of today’s Intermarium revival. . . .”
We present key excerpts of the paper to underscore dominant features of this evolutionary continuity:…
