MONDAY NIGHT, APRIL 23



12-1 Rick Jarow, "The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide"

The Inner Path to Finding Your Work in the World'


According to the perennial wisdom teachings, your vocation is not a means of survival in the world-it is a pure expression of your life force. Vocation arises, not as a response to external forces, but authentically from within your own body.

To the modern mind, this approach to work sounds radical. But for more than 3,000 years, sacred traditions in the East and West have allowed vocation to serve as a platform for spiritual and material growth. The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide is the first audio
curriculum that adapts this classic approach to right livelihood to the challenges unique to our place and time.

Based on the national anti-career workshops taught by Dr. Rick Jarow since 1988, this is the same life-changing program that has helped thousands of frustrated job-seekers open to their intuition, transform their values into action, and answer their true calling-instead
of settling for a paycheck.

Traditional career strategies are simply reactions to the job market, Dr. Jarow begins-for example, matching an inventory of skills with the want ads. An anticareer is a manifestation of the unique blueprint for your destiny encoded in your body since birth.
The key to this revolutionary approach is your body's chakra system, the seven centers that govern the free flow of prana, or life force, through your body. Through a program of powerful meditations, you gain direct access to your chakras, clearing and aligning
them with the energetic forces that make everything in life possible.

You don't have to go out looking for a job, Dr. Jarow says. The job you were born to do will unfold in time, like a tree from a seed, as you let go of self-limiting concepts and open to the energy of creation-with The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide.


Session 9 of 12: The Creative Impulse

Your creative lineage.  The marketplace as a visionary field.  Image streaming techniques.  The power of articulation.  The subversive visionary-creative force.  Creativity as an art of perception.  More.

  


Rick Jarow is a professor of religious studies in Vassar College, a former Melon Fellow at Columbia University and a practicing career counselor.  His popular Anti-Career Workshops, which he has taught internationally, are based on years of research and practice
encompassing both Eastern and Western Traditions.  He is the author of 'In Search of the Sacred' and 'Creating the Work You Love.'  



1-2 David Whyte, "Clear Mind, Wild Heart"

'Finding Courage and Clarity Through Poetry'  


"In the middle of the road of my life, I awoke in a dark wood, where the true way was wholly lost." When you find yourself without bearings, as Dante Alighieri voiced so well centuries ago, where will you look for guidance?

Throughout the ages, teaches David Whyte, the language of poetry has held the power to lend us courage, to give us the vision of those who endured, and to hazard ourselves boldly at the fierce edges of our lives. On Clear Mind, Wild Heart you will join this
acclaimed poet and teacher to engage with the poetic imagination as your companion and guide for the difficult terrain we are all traversing.

Poetry, teaches Whyte, offers immediate and powerful tools unique from any other tradition. It can help us to see beyond the fragile surfaces of our lives, open us to the universal cycles and patterns that shape our lives, and awaken our conversation with what
has been called the Untouchable, the Numinous, or the Eternal.

Clear Mind, Wild Heart guides you into the wellspring of this living poetic tradition through six hours of exploration and poetry with David Whyte, including the verses of such inspired voices as Emily Dickinson, William Blake, W.B. Yeats, Marina Tsvetayeva,
Rainer Maria Rilke, Antonio Machado, and others. Through their words, you will discover how to apprentice yourself to beauty and find a place of belonging where you can hold loss and grief, the challenges of change, and the wonder of new discovery and adventure.

The language of poetry takes us outside of our small selves and calls us to look at ourselves and the world with open eyes, teaches David Whyte. Whether you are a lifelong poetry lover or new to its insights and pleasures, Clear Mind, Wild Heart is an inspiring
guide to answering that call.


   

Session 3 of 6: The Key is Ours: Extraordinary Transformations
Paying real attention.  The difficulties of extraordinary experiences.  Untrammeled freedom.  The fear of losing our children.  Vitality in each stage of life.  Conversations with the future.  The holy ground of one's own experience.
Men and emotion.  The deep wells of untouched grief.  Our confrontation with reality.  Self-compassion.  What brings you to life?  Becoming beauty's apprentice.  Placing identity on the edge of discovery.  We already posses the key to happiness.  More.  


David Whyte grew up among the hills and valleys of Yorkshire, England.  The author of more than four books of poetry, he is one of the few poets to take his perspectives on creativity into the field of organizational development.  David Whyte is also the author
of the bestselling nonfiction books 'The Heart Aroused: Poetry and the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America' and 'Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work As a Pilgrimage of Identity.'  He lives with his family in the Pacific Northwest.

12-12:30  Vaccine Update


12:30-2:30  Dana Ullman MPH  CCH  "Homeopathic Healing"
Parts 1B and 2 of 6
'A Practical Course for Learning about Homeopathy and How to Use Powerful Natural Medicines to Heal Yourself'  

Your body is unique - and so is the way it heals.  On 'Homeopathic Healing,' Dana Ullman teaches you how to interpret the subtle, personal symptoms of illness and engage the human body's vast capacity to heal itself naturally.
 According to our modern understanding of physiology, symptoms are not simply something 'wrong' with you, but are actually the body's efforts to defend and heal itself.  Conventional drugs primarily treat symptoms and therefore tend to inhibit and suppress
the natural healing process.  Homeopathic medicines, in comparison, work with - not against - the body's self-healing efforts.

Homeopathy is a complete medical system that utilizes minute doses of plant, animal, and mineral essence to trigger the body's defense mechanisms.  Much like immunizations, these substances help augment the body's natural ability
to prevent illness, treat disease, and promote better health.  Homeopaths match prescriptions to each patient's unique symptoms.  They carefully evaluate the entire mind/body and view symptoms within this context.

'Homeopathic Healing' is an comprehensive course on the history, philosophy, and practical applications of this influential medical science.  You will lean how to customize the major homeopathic remedies to treat yourself and others
safely, effectively, and without harmful side-effects.  Join Dana Ullman and discover these exciting insights into the healing process, as well as proven, practical ways to engage the 'inner doctor' within us all.  (NOTE: The last time I mentioned my broadcast
of this series, Dana Ullman said it was a bit old fashioned due to ongoing research and discovery, but was otherwise accurate)  Originally published by Sounds True.

DANA ULLMAN, MPH, CCH, is one of America’s leading advocates for homeopathy. He has authored 10 books, including 'The Homeopathic Revolution: Why Famous People and Cultural Heroes Choose Homeopathy,' 'Homeopathy A-Z,' 'Homeopathic Medicines
for Children and Infants,' 'Discovering Homeopathy,' and (the best-selling) 'Everybody’s Guide to Homeopathic Medicines' (with Stephen Cummings, MD). Dana also created an e-course 'How to Use a Homeopathic Medicine Kit' which integrates 80 short videos (averaging
15 minutes) with his famous ebook that is a continually growing resource to 300+ clinical studies published in peer-review medical journals testing homeopathic medicines. This ebook combines the descriptions of these studies with practical clinical information
on how to use homeopathic medicines for 100+ common ailments. This ebook is entitled 'Evidence Based Homeopathic Family Medicine,' and it is an invaluable resource. Dana has been certified in classical homeopathy by the leading organization in the U.S. for
professional homeopaths.

He is the founder of Homeopathic Educational Services, America’s leading resource center for homeopathic books, tapes, medicines, software, and correspondence courses. Homeopathic Educational Services has co-published over35 books on homeopathy
with North Atlantic Books.

2:30-3:30  Charles Eisenstein
"Serving the More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible"


Charles Eisenstein is an author, speaker, and "degrowth activist" whose books include 'The Ascent of Humanity and Sacred Economics,' among others. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Charles and Tami Simon speak on the many crises currently facing the
planet, from the increasingly urgent issue of climate change to the loss of meaning and trust in the center of civic life. They discuss the two fundamental mythologies of our time—"the story of separation" and "the story of interbeing"—and how many people
feel like we live according to both at once. Tami and Charles talk about the wounding at the root of cynicism, and how the best way to ensure a brighter future is to give ourselves over wholly to the service of the planet. Finally, Charles speaks on his new
book on climate change, explaining that he thinks the real work of ensuring a better future will come from unexpected sources. (70 minutes)

WEDNESDAY NIGHT,  APRIL 25


12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1000:  - In Politics, Nothing Happens by Accident: Weaponized Feminism and the #MeToo Movement, Part 3 (The Crucible, Part 2)"


In this program, we continue analysis from FTR #’s 998 and 999, highlighting the apparent use of weaponized feminism to destroy targeted political figures.


Of considerable interest in this regard are the founder and leaders of the Women’s March. Bob Bland–her actual name–is the founder of the Women’s March. Her apparel company also landed a multi-million dollar Pentagon contract for the development of “wearable
tech!” Iconic lefty leaders would NOT be the recipients’ of such largesse UNLESS they were insiders!


Bob Bland also appointed Linda Sarsour (whose last name translates “cockroach”), who has been an ardent defender and close associate of Rasmea Odeh, a convicted terrorist who was a member of the Popular Front For the Liberation of Palestine, one of the Muslim
terror organizations that enjoyed the support of Francois Genoud.


Furthermore Bland, Sarsour and co-Women’s March leaders and Bland appointees ALL stood up for Louis Farrakhan after a venomous anti-white and anti-Semitic speech. With Sarsour manifesting a pro-terror link (Odeh/PFLP) and all of the leaders supporting Farrakhan,
the positioning of sincere, albeit naive, participants in the Women’s Marches as subversives and/or at the least of an odious political stripe is achieved!


In addition to behaving very suspiciously with regard to the murder of Malcolm X, the man whose mantle he assumed and whose murder Farrakhan (then known as “Louis X”) publicly called for, Farrakhan has been an apologist for the continued enslavement of black
Africans in Sudan and Mauritania by Arabs. Farrakhan is also one of the iconic figures to the fascist Third Position.


Much of the program revisits the bloodless, political assassination of Senator Al Franken. Elected by the people of Minnesota to represent them in the Senate, he was removed by a Crucible-like chorus of social media-driven hysteria, given momentum by a Japanese-based army of
twitter bots financed by an as yet unknown, very wealthy individual or organization.


Signaled by long-time GOP (and Trump) dirty trickster Roger Stone and implemented by an obviously staged, gag photo of Franken mockingly groping right-wing camp follower Leann Tweeden, the political will of the people of Minnesota was completely neutralized
by an obvious political gambit.


It’s worth noting that Tom Arnold, who appears to be long-time friends with Tweeden, issues a string of tweets back on December 7, the day Franken resigned, where he asserted that Roger Stone and John Phillips (Tweeden’s partner at KABC) are long-time friends
and were definitely manipulating Tweeden.


Specifically, he asserts in the tweets that:


1. John Phillips and Roger Stone are pals and they coached her for weeks. “I’m disappointed with my friend Leeann Tweeden. Her partner at KABC John Phillips is a Roger Stone pal & they coached her for weeks to bring Al Franken down. I’d hoped she’d use her
voice to speak out for all women again predators like Roy Moore & Donald Trump but she’s a birther [like Donald Trump–D.E.]”— Tom Arnold (@TomArnold) December 7, 2017


2. The only truth behind the allegations is the infamous photo. The rest was created by Stone and Phillips. “I’ve gone to bat for Leeann 100 times this last month hoping she’d at least reveal her whole truth too but she ghosted me. I know every single detail
of this political manipulation. KABC should lose their license. Promoting a fraud is a federal offense & FCC violation.” https://t.co/QY1Cxne5tw— Tom Arnold (@TomArnold) December 7, 2017


3. Arnold has proof of this. “To put a button on this the only truth about my old pal Leeann Tweeden’s Al Franken story was the picture. The rest was created by KABC colleague & fellow Trump supporter John Phillips & his bud Roger Stone who coached Leeann for
weeks to take Al down. Mission accomplished.”— Tom Arnold (@TomArnold) December 7, 2017


4. He apparently got a bunch of “Take down Al” correspondences of Roget Stone & Co sent to him by someone. “Since I didn’t get all of Roger Stone & Co ‘Take down Al’ correspondences until late last night I thought it was very nice & brave of Leeann to respond
to my tweets by calling me & sharing her beat by beat experience honestly & openly for the first time so I could share them too.” https://t.co/cD71cGIrU2— Tom Arnold (@TomArnold) December 7, 2017


Before recapping Louis Farrakhan’s behavior vis a vis the Malcom X assassination, we note that John Conyers employed iconic civil rights activist Rosa Parks as his administrative assistant for more than 20 years. That alone would have made him a target.


Alt-right blogger Mike “Misogyny gets you laid” Cernovich signaled Conyers’ removal.

1-2  The Ralph Nader Radio Hour
Ralph welcomes independent candidate for California Lieutenant Governor, Gayle McLaughlin, who talks about how she and small group of progressive reformers turned around

Initially heard on KPFK Mondays, 2pm.



2-3 Ramzy Baroud, "Palestine: After the Last Sky"
Recorded in Edmonds Lutheran Church, Seattle, Washington on February 24, 2018.


Mahmoud Darwish, the national poet of Palestine in a famous couplet asks, Where should we go after the last frontiers, where should the birds fly after the last sky? For many displaced Palestinians Darwish speaks to their dilemma. Where should they go? The
role of the U.S. in the conflict is enormous. It is heavily biased in favor of Israel. No matter who is in the White House support for Tel Aviv is unwavering. Witness Washington’s defying international law by moving its embassy to Jerusalem. The Palestinian
narrative is rarely heard and when it is it is muted and represented by non-Palestinians. Yet, despite more and more settlements, collective punishment, housing demolitions, walls and barriers Palestinians still resist being occupied. One State? Two State?
No State? Can Palestinians and Israelis find a viable path to genuine peace based on justice?


Ramzy Baroud is a journalist and editor of the Palestine Chronicle. He is a Non-Resident Scholar at Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the author of 'My Father Was a Freedom Fighter' and 'The
Last Earth.'

2:30-3:30 Tiffany Shlain: "Taking an Empowered and Creative View Towards Technology"

Tiffany Shlain is an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker, internet pioneer, and the author of 'Brain Power: From Neurons to Networks.' Her most recent film, '50/50: Rethinking the Past, Present, and Future of Women + Power,' debuted at the TEDWomen conference and is the inspiration for 50/50 Day, a global event devoted to bringing about greater gender balance in all sectors of life. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with Tiffany about '50/50 Day'—its origins, how it will be rolled out, and what steps we can take to ensure women have a better say in society. They talk about Tiffany's approach to encouraging social change through film, including the background behind her short documentary 'The Science of Character.' Using that film as a foundation, Tiffany comments on the difference between virtue and character, as well as why we should focus on cultivating our strengths rather than obsessing over our weaknesses. Finally, Tiffany and Tami discuss our current relationships with technology and why she recommends a "technology Shabbat" in which we spend 24 hours away from our screens.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, APRIL 18


12-1 Dave Emory, For the Record # 999 - “In Politics, Nothing Happens by Accident”: Weaponized Feminism and the #MeToo Movement, Part 2 (The Crucible)

“A liberal’s idea of courage is eating at a restaurant that hasn’t been reviewed yet.”–Mort Sahl.

The subtitle for this program comes from the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller. An allegory about McCarthyism, the play uses the Salem Witch Trials as a vehicle for illustrating the hysterical, unjust mode of accusation used against those pilloried by the anti-Communist witch hunts in early 1950’s America. Mr. Emory feels that the comparison with the weaponized feminism being used as a vehicle for psychological warfare and the (in some cases) unfair destruction of careers of those the right sees as obstructive is altogether appropriate.

Exemplifying this comparison is the use of malicious tweets in a San Francisco Chronicle story about director Oliver Stone’s caveat about the Harvey Weinstein case.

We reprint the comments from a trusted associate here, with a few minor editorial changes.

“Unlike Stone, we feel little sympathy for Weinstein and how ‘it’s not easy what he’s going through either’. Other than that, what he said is totally rational. ‘Wait and see, which is the right thing to do’.

What a misogynist! What, you don’t think that a loud and psychotic media witch hunt [hence The Crucible comparison–D.E.] isn’t the calm, responsible thing to do? Stone must be unstable! After all, he believes crazy things like JFK being killed by more than one person. As for the Playboy Playmate? Well, it wouldn’t surprise me if Stone did something like this (again…Hollywood), but with someone like Stone, who has been the target of CIA campaigns since 1991, I am not assuming anything.

Well, luckily we have calm, rational liberals on social media to apply some rationality and objectivity to this story! Twitter is such a (present participle, expletive deleted) sewer… Note the Ira Madison guy actively trolling for Oliver Stone dirt on behalf of Tina Brown’s Daily Beast. Man, some things never change… Got to love these journalists from ‘The Wrap’, they don’t even have to write anti-Stone hit pieces, they just go to twitter and copy and paste.”

The Crucible analogy manifests direct substance in the vicious tweeting that occupies much of the San Francisco Chronicle article. The program then samples the vicious, “Crucible”-like excoriation of long-time CIA target Oliver Stone.

We note that the Harvey Weinstein case is significant not because of what Weinstein appears to have done–with Oliver Stone’s caveat to be born in mind–but the timing of the surfacing of allegations which have been mounting for many years. (The cataloguing of those apparent incidents as “opposition research” has, in all probability, been going on for a long time.)

With the #MeToo phenomenon, in general, there is a conspicuous lack of due process. What vetting of the charges is taking place, other than public repetition via tweet? Of course, sexual harassment generally occurs with no witnesses other than the participants, so it is the aggressor’s word versus the victim’s. Still, it is a scenario that is ripe for exploitation in the context of the four “B’s” of American politics: Bullets, Bribes, Beds, and Blackmail.

A more circumspect approach would be to examine this from a counter-intelligence standpoint: What sort of political affiliations do the accusers have? Franken accusers Tweeden and Menz track to the right, and the photographic evidence does NOT hold up: The Franken “groping” photo is clearly a gag and the comically bawdy/libidinous aesthetic of the USO tour on which it occurred is obvious from the other photos displayed in the description for FTR #998.

The photo of Menz and Franken at the Minnesota State Fair (with Franken allegedly groping the accuser) took place with the alleged victim’s husband and father present. Menz and her husband voted for Trump.

No sale....

Furthermore, what serious examination of the accusers’ situations is occurring? Did they have large sums of money wired to their bank accounts? After lending momentum to the destruction of prominent liberals, is anyone taking care to examine if they then accept a lucrative arrangement (book or acting contract or well-paid corporate position) with a major commercial player?

We are not saying that any necessarily did, but is ANYONE doing due diligence on such matters? ...

2-3 David Swanson vs. Pete Kilner "Is War Ever Justifiable?"
Recorded in Radford, VA on February 12, 2018.

In 1970, at the height of the U.S. wars in Indochina Edwin Starr came out with his classic song: “War.” In it he asks, “War, what is good for?” And he answers: “Absolutely nothing.” Well, for the giant weapons manufacturing corporations, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics and all the rest, war pays off big time. They make money hand over fist especially with their cost-plus contracts. And then there are the delays in delivery and technical problems. Whether they are F-35 fighter jets, stealth destroyers, Trident submarines or aircraft carriers, the Pentagon gets what it wants. And taxpayers foot the bill. Policy makers in Washington always come up with rationales to engage in war. Since 2001 the U.S. has been continually at war and it has greatly expanded the number of countries it is attacking. Is war ever justifiable?

This program features a debate between David Swanson and Pete Kilner. Swanson answers no to the question, is war ever justifiable. Kilner argues yes.


David Swanson is an activist, journalist, and radio host. He is director WorldBeyondWar.organd author of 'War Is Never Just' and 'Curing Exceptionalism.' He has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Pete Kilner served more than 28 years in the Army as an infantryman and professor. A graduate of West Point, he deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan. He is a graduate of West Point.

Lakota Peoples Law Project Update: Chase Iron Eyes Hearing
Dan Sheehan and Lanny Sinkin Report April 5:

For months, the State of North Dakota has failed to pursue or provide required evidence to the defense team representing Lakota People's Law Project Lead Counsel Chase Iron Eyes. At a crucial hearing on Tuesday, Apr. 4, Judge Lee Christofferson made several rulings in favor of the defense.

Christofferson ruled that Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier and the State of North Dakota must hand over all missing evidence by May 1, and he scolded the deputy state's attorney for his lack of action. Christofferson also granted defense lawyer Alex Reichert and Lakota People's Law Project attorneys Daniel Sheehan and Lanny Sinkin the authority to subpoena employees of TigerSwan, the mercenary security firm hired by Dakota Access pipeline parent company Energy Transfer Partners. Our defense team alleges that TigerSwan ran a targeted, racist, no-holds-barred surveillance and smear campaign against Chase and other water protectors.
Once the evidence is handed over, our defense team will have 120 days to continue a discovery process that could free Chase and his fellow defendant, HolyElk Lafferty - and shine a light on the illegal collusion of industry, law enforcement, and TigerSwan.

12:30-1:30 Rick Jarow, "The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide"
'The Inner Path to Finding Your Work in the World'

According to the perennial wisdom teachings, your vocation is not a means of survival in the world-it is a pure expression of your life force. Vocation arises, not as a response to external forces, but authentically from within your own body.
To the modern mind, this approach to work sounds radical. But for more than 3,000 years, sacred traditions in the East and West have allowed vocation to serve as a platform for spiritual and material growth. The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide is the first audio curriculum that adapts this classic approach to right livelihood to the challenges unique to our place and time.
Based on the national anti-career workshops taught by Dr. Rick Jarow since 1988, this is the same life-changing program that has helped thousands of frustrated job-seekers open to their intuition, transform their values into action, and answer their true calling-instead of settling for a paycheck.
Traditional career strategies are simply reactions to the job market, Dr. Jarow begins-for example, matching an inventory of skills with the want ads. An anticareer is a manifestation of the unique blueprint for your destiny encoded in your body since birth. The key to this revolutionary approach is your body's chakra system, the seven centers that govern the free flow of prana, or life force, through your body. Through a program of powerful meditations, you gain direct access to your chakras, clearing and aligning them with the energetic forces that make everything in life possible.
You don't have to go out looking for a job, Dr. Jarow says. The job you were born to do will unfold in time, like a tree from a seed, as you let go of self-limiting concepts and open to the energy of creation-with The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide.

Session 7: The Eight Lodges of Power
The Lakota medicine wheel. Aligning inner wantings with outer projects. Three techniques for mobilizing energy. Allies: beings who are karmically contracted to help you. "The woman's lodge.' More.



Rick Jarow is a professor of religious studies in Vassar College, a former Melon Fellow at Columbia University and a practicing career counselor. His popular Anti-Career Workshops, which he has taught internationally, are based on years of research and practice encompassing both Eastern and Western Traditions. He is the author of 'In Search of the Sacred' and 'Creating the Work You Love.'

"In the middle of the road of my life, I awoke in a dark wood, where the true way was wholly lost." When you find yourself without bearings, as Dante Alighieri voiced so well centuries ago, where will you look for guidance?
Throughout the ages, teaches David Whyte, the language of poetry has held the power to lend us courage, to give us the vision of those who endured, and to hazard ourselves boldly at the fierce edges of our lives. On Clear Mind, Wild Heart you will join this acclaimed poet and teacher to engage with the poetic imagination as your companion and guide for the difficult terrain we are all traversing.
Poetry, teaches Whyte, offers immediate and powerful tools unique from any other tradition. It can help us to see beyond the fragile surfaces of our lives, open us to the universal cycles and patterns that shape our lives, and awaken our conversation with what has been called the Untouchable, the Numinous, or the Eternal.
Clear Mind, Wild Heart guides you into the wellspring of this living poetic tradition through six hours of exploration and poetry with David Whyte, including the verses of such inspired voices as Emily Dickinson, William Blake, W.B. Yeats, Marina Tsvetayeva, Rainer Maria Rilke, Antonio Machado, and others. Through their words, you will discover how to apprentice yourself to beauty and find a place of belonging where you can hold loss and grief, the challenges of change, and the wonder of new discovery and adventure.
The language of poetry takes us outside of our small selves and calls us to look at ourselves and the world with open eyes, teaches David Whyte. Whether you are a lifelong poetry lover or new to its insights and pleasures, Clear Mind, Wild Heart is an inspiring guide to answering that call.

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #998 - In Politics, Nothing Happens by Accident": Weaponized Feminism and the #MeToo Movement

"A liberal's idea of courage is eating at a restaurant that hasn't been reviewed yet."-Mort Sahl.

We begin our discussion of weaponized feminism with its ultimate manifestation-a joint call by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and Harvey Weinstein accuser Angelina Jolie for NATO to commit its resources to defending women's rights.

Note that they cite Kosovo as a salient example of their feminist "call to arms." As discussed in FTR #161 , among other programs, fighters in the Kosovo Liberation Army were largely descendants of World War II fascist fighting formations, including the 21st Waffen SS Division-the Skanderbeg Division.

The irony in Stoltenberg and Jolie's call for NATO to enforce women's rights in Kosovo, among other places could not be more profound: " . . . . Kosovo's Prime Minister Hashim Thaci is facing a wide range of criminal allegations, including owning a harem with 52 female sex slaves . . . . According to the news agency, a Ukrainian woman escaped from Thaci's harem and revealed damning information about sex slavery in Kosovo. The woman claims 52 female sex slaves are forced to work night and day to service the Prime Minister and his rich friends in business and government. . . ."

Next, we turn to what may well be another example of NATO weaponized feminism. Among the victims of the #MeToo movement was Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), a prominent congressional critic of the Nazi Azov Battalion, receiving arms and training from the U.S.

In 2018, NATO forces are scheduled to engage in maneuvers in Ukraine.

It is not surprising that Kristofer Harrison (the author of an apologia for the Nazi Azov Battalion in Ukraine) is a former Defense Department and State Department advisor to George W. Bush (and from the same political milieu of Kurt Volker, the Trump administration's CIA-trained representative to Ukraine.) Noteworthy in his propaganda piece dismissing Representative John Conyers (D-MI) as "the Kremlin's Man in Congress" and discounting anyone else discussing the ascension of the OUN/B fascists in Ukraine in a similar vein, is the identity of his source for assurances that Azov is not a Nazi unit.

With Al Franken's departure from the Senate-an event that figures to make the Democrats' chances of regaining control of the chamber more precarious-we reflect on aspects of Franken's departure, including the right-wing affiliations of Leann Tweeden, the apparent foreknowledge of the event by long-time GOP dirty trickster Roger Stone, the extreme difficulty of a public figure successfully suing for defamation under American civil law, the utility of "sexpionage" from the standpoint of intelligence and counterintelligence and the proclivity of the so-called "progressive sector" for one-dimensional identity politics.

We note that the now-famous photograph of Franken "groping" Leann Tweeden's breasts was obviously a staged event, not to be taken seriously. (The taste here is questionable, although as can be seen from two other photos of the same USO tour, the dominant aesthetic of this tour was bawdy, tongue-in-cheek. Note the photos of Tweeden goosing a male C &W performer and Franken and Tweeden mugging over a skimpy undergarment. It is clear that neither is to be taken seriously.)

We conclude the program with examination of technocratic fascism in action-the Twitter bot role in the takedown of Franken...

On November 15th, a Japanese developer named Atsufumi Otsuka registering a web domain in Japan called RealUSA.site, on the same day Roger Stone announced over Twitter that it's Franken's "time in the barrel"-one day before the story broke.

Then, on November 20th, Alt-Right provocateur Charles Johnson tweeted, "Thinking of offering money to people who go on tv and say Al Frank is a predator." That same day, Otsuka registered a second domain in Japan for another fake-news site, VotyUS.me.

The two fake news sites were finally put to use on December 7, shortly before Democrats started calling for Franken to step down. The sites re-published an article by Ijeoma Oluo, a liberal writer, urging women and activists to stop supporting Franken. Oluo's piece, titled "Dear Al Franken, I'll Miss You but You Can't Matter Anymore," was posted on relatively obscure website that only had a reach of of 10,000 followers. But once the article got reposted to those two fake news sites the twitter bot networking suddenly sprang into action, with thousands of fake Twitter accounts tweeting the title of the article-but linking back to repost of the article on the fake news sites, RealUSA.site or VotyUS.me.

Although it's not clear who paid for the Twitter-bot activity, it's hard to ignore the coincidental timing. Researchers have concluded that it wasn't cheap. They estimate that it required dozens of hours of initial development time and at least one person working full time to produce and distribute content. The whole task of setting up this Japanese Twitter bot army to amplify the calls for Senator Franken to step down was deemed by whoever paid for it to be worth the time and money...

" . . . . A pair of Japan-based websites, created the day before Tweeden came forward, and a swarm of related Twitter bots made the Tweeden story go viral and then weaponized a liberal writer's criticism of Franken. The bot army-in tandem with prominent real, live members of the far right who have Twitter followers in the millions, such as Mike Cernovich-spewed thousands of posts, helping the #FrankenFondles hashtag and the "Franken is a groper" meme effectively silence the testimonies of eight former female staffers who defended the Minnesota Democrat before he resigned last year. . . .

. . . . One question remains: Who is paying for this operation? The researchers believe that the operation was expensive. 'We estimate dozens of hours of initial development time and at least one person working full time to produce and distribute content,' one of the researchers told Newsweek. 'Additionally, it's likely that an existing bot farm of compromised computers is basically being rented as a distributed host for these accounts.' . . . ."

1-2 The Ralph Nader Radio Hour (Catchup)
Ralph talks to journalist Gareth Porter about why both liberals and conservatives should be afraid - be very afraid - of warhawk John Bolton's appointment as Trump's National Security Advisor. And author/activist Julie Wark joins us to talk about why she is "Against Charity."

Gareth Porter is an independent investigative journalist and historian specializing in US national-security policy. Mr. Porter received the 2012 Gellhorn Prize for journalism for his coverage of the US war in Afghanistan. His latest book is "Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare."

"I think this is the moment of greatest peril in terms of a very serious war being carried out by the United States, simply because of Bolton and Pompeo and Trump. That combination is something that we have not seen in the White House in any administration since World War II. And I think that should motivate people to take action in a way that nothing we have seen so far has." Gareth Porter: independent investigative journalist and historian specializing in US national-security policy

Julie Wark is an Australian/Spanish citizen and a resident of Barcelona for 27 years. She is a translator of novels, essays, short stories, poetry, and exhibition catalogues, a long-term human rights author/activist, and is on the editorial board of Sin Permiso, a Spanish language magazine of international politics. She is the co-author along Daniel Raventos of "Against Charity," where they argue for an unconditional universal basic income above the poverty line and paid for by progressive taxation.

"He (Bill Gates) can nudge state and global funding into any area he wishes to prioritize. So for example at the World Health Organization, one staffer has said that hardly any major policy decisions are taken without being 'vetted' by Gates' foundation staff... So, for example it's much praised for its work on malaria in Ethiopia, but the quid pro quo of that is that Bill Gates hates public health. He says it's a waste of time and a waste of money - public health services. So he comes in with his mosquito nets. People overlook the fact that these mosquito nets are drenched with insecticides, which have to be replenished every so often. And insecticides are another part of Bill Gates' business, which I think can probably be taken back to Monsanto." Julie Wark, co-author of "Against Charity."

3-3:30 The West Virginia Wildcat Strike of 2018 - Olivia Morris

West Virginia teacher and grassroots strike leader, Olivia Morris, talks about the historic 9 day wildcat strike that lasted from February 22 to March 7, 2018. She is in conversation with Stacy Davis Gates, political director for the Chicago Teachers Union.

This is a personal, very candid conversation about a strike in an anti union right to work state, about alliances between teachers and public workers, a broken down health care system, how low or no taxes for coal and gas extraction diminish the money needed for education and more.

The Chicago Teachers Union described the event this way: "The wildcat strike by West Virginia teachers, among the lowest paid teachers in the nation, has ignited public support across the state and the nation, with teachers in states from Oklahoma to Kentucky looking at strategies to bring the West Virginia model of strike resistance and rank and file democracy to their states."

"In West Virginia, teachers rejected efforts by political leaders and top union officials to convince them to settle without an iron clad guarantee of improved wages, enshrined in legislation, not just for them but for all state public employees. Teachers struck for those guarantees even though West Virginia is a 'right-to work' state which bans strikes by public workers."

The wildcat strike derailed plans by state legislators to jack up health insurance premiums in the Public Employee Insurance Agency (PEIA) and to jam through a charter school bill being promoted by corporations.... Teachers and their supporters are demanding West Virginia legislators reverse corporate tax cuts, raise gas severance tax and hold harmless any public programs that prioritize the needs of struggling state residents in any plan to fund their raises."

Thanks to Dale Lehman from WZRD radio in Chicago. He recorded the event on March 9, 2018. From TUC Radio, 1 (707) 463-2654, www.tucradio.org

1-2:30 "Energy Medicine"


'Subtle Energies, Consciousness, and the New Science of Healing'






Is the human body merely a complex biological machine, or is our health sustained by 'subtle energies' that can be guided for healing? These are the questions that are posed by the field of energy medicine. Since 1990, the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine, the ISSSEEM, has hosted the world's most eminent scholars and practitioners within this revolutionary new medical field. From the effects of bioelectromagnetic energy on the body to the healing effects of prayer to subtle energy practices of other cultures, 'Energy Medicine' gathers the best of ISSSEEM's celebrated conferences into one thought-provoking reference set. Twelve in depth and authoritative presentations will be presented here over the next several weeks.

2:30-3:40 Latham Thomas: "Self-Care is a Radical Act"






Latham Thomas is a lifestyle maven who founded Mama Glow and was named one of Oprah Winfrey's SuperSoul 100. She is the author of Mama Glow and Own Your Glow. With Sounds True, she has created the audio program Beditations: Guided Meditations and Rituals for Rest and Renewal. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Latham and Tami Simon talk about the true meaning of self-care, as well as why there are such strong societal factors that work against it. They discuss those internal aspects of the self for which we have been shamed in the past and how these are actually our deepest reserves of personal power. Tami and Latham also speak on personal boundaries in terms of both protecting ourselves and what kind of emotional support we allow in. Finally, Latham explains why heeding clear internal messages actually takes courage—a courage that is always rewarded in the long run. (70 minutes)

12-3:30 Dave Emory


Dr. Martin Luther King Special: " For the Record #46, 'Orders to Kill'"


50th Anniversary of Assassination: April 4, 1968






FTR #46 Orders to Kill


This series analyzes the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In addition to analyzing the FBI’s extended efforts to politically neutralize King, the series discusses the combination of national security and organized crime elements that appear to have performed the assassination. Based on the book 'Orders to Kill' by William Pepper (Hardcover edition published by Carroll and Graff in 1995), the series discusses, among other things: an organized crime arms-smuggling ring, which maneuvered accused assassin James Earl Ray into position to take the fall for the crime; the member of that arms-smuggling ring who boasted of actually done the shooting; the Army intelligence program to surveil and neutralize black American leaders (including King); the 20th Special Forces Group “A team” that, according to Pepper, served as a backup sniper team poised to kill Dr. King and his then-aide Andrew Young (in case the organized crime marksman missed); and the apparent role of elements of the National Security Agency in helping to set Ray up for the assassination. ( Program recorded in September of 1995.)
