Recorded at Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Binghamton, Binghamton, NY; May 14, 2013. Jim Clune, past president of Broome County Peace Action and just returned from a ten day stay in jail for protesting drones at Hancock airbase in Syracuse, was the featured speaker at Broome County Peace Action's annual meeting. He spoke about the spreading use of Drones (unmanned aircraft) and the growing opposition to their use in conducting illegal warfare.

From Free Speech Radio News: "Today, President Barack Obama outlined his positions on the legality of 9radio-controlled) drone strikes and targeted killing, his Administration’s aggressive prosecution of some whistleblowers and reporters, and new efforts to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay. His remarks came in a major speech that addressed his foreign policy and national security decisions at Washington DC’s National Defense University. The speech comes one day after the Administration admitted in a letter to Congress that it has killed four US citizens since the President took office in 2009, though only one—Anwar al Awlaki—was “specifically targeted.” On Capitol Hill, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein has more."

Radio and media headlines.

During World War II, a "Ghost Army" created fake radio broadcasts, and played sound effects and used theatre prop tanks to fool the Germans. Now, every U.S. invasion includes immediately setting up pirate radio stations.

This show looks at military applications of sound and radio, from U.S. Air Force films, military critics, sound artists, and others.

"Radius Sketchpad" is an ongoing monthly program on WGXC 90.7-FM presented by the Chicago-based platform, Radius. This month features J. Soliday's Radial Variations, originally produced for Radius, and is followed by a playlist of works selected by the artist.

Memory fades. Memory fails. The act of observing a thing changes it. Recordings of a piece rarely sounds like the piece performed. Focus changes, different aspects rise to the fore.

Radial Variations is a collection of thirteen reinterpretations of a piece J. Soliday performed at the former Enemy performance space on July 20th, 2012 in Chicago. Line and room recordings of the performance were sped up, slowed down, chopped, looped, replayed, and reprocessed through the system in which they were originally generated. The resulting works should not be considered definitive versions, neither individually nor as a whole, but merely as windows into an ongoing continuum.-Reprinted from Radius

The Alternative Media Conference took place at Goddard College from June 17th through June 20. The original Alternative Media Conference brought over 1,700 innovative FM radio DJs, a new breed of record company promoters, underground newspaper reporters, Freek Brothers cartoonist Gilbert Shelton, Baba Ram Dass, Rolling Stone photographer Robert Altman, 60s radical Jerry Rubin, Founder of Mad Magazine Harvey Kurtzman, the Hog Farm Collective and many others all the way to Plainfield. This conference covered topics including women in the media, black-oriented radio and low-budget films. Atlantic Records donated 3,000 dollars and shipped in Dr. John, Cactus and the J. Geils Band to put on concerts. Many conference attendees went on to exciting media careers, including Hendrik Hertzberg, a senior editor at the New Yorker, and Danny Goldberg, whose company has managed the careers of rockers Nirvana, the Allman Brothers and Bonnie Raitt. The conference is remembers as the birth of alternative media and continues to be held as a time that was rich in urgency for change. Goddard College reconvened the conference on May 18th, 2013 in order to review what had happened in the 43 years since the original conference was held but also to bring people together to plan and imagine what the next 40 years will bring. As part of the conference the organizer of the original conference, Larry Yurdin, gave this history presentation with archival slides to the audience of 170 people gathered in the Haybarn Theatre at Goddard College in Plainfield, VT.

From Pacifica Radio's "From the Vault." In our first talk from 1964 Ray Bradbury who at this point had published his most noteworthy books, The Martian chronicles, Fahrenheit 451 and The Illustrated Man. But this interview by Francis Roberts was right on the heels of his 1962 novel Something Wicked This Way Comes. This talk is appropriately called The World of Ray Bradbury as he clearly traces the motivation for his unique writing style from his childhood to the present. In this next speech delivered at the International Colloquium on Mars in December 1973, Bradbury reflects on the literary and visionary masters before him that inspired him as a child to dream. He implores each of us to set popular culture aside for a moment so that we can focus on our own dreams. It is these dreams that will help us evolve here on Earth and One day.... navigate the stars.

From June 25, 2011. Live performance, interview and DJ set featuring transmission artist Damian Catera.

Installation: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., Celebration/Reception: 5 p.m. - 7 p.m.

Take a break and join us for the unveiling of the Wage/Working project's jukebox-based installation, featuring stories and sounds from the working lives of residents of Greene and Columbia counties. Community members are also invited to bring their own CDs of locally produced sounds to trade for a CD that was in the original jukebox. The CDs can include any audio (music, interviews, etc.) as long as it originated in Greene or Columbia county, and will be considered for inclusion in the Wage/Working jukebox, which will be located for the next six months in the Cairo Public Library's Teen Room.

Wage/Working addresses the issues of income inequality and the concept of wage through a time-based transmission installation and radio broadcast series. During their two-month residency Hadden and Watson collected stories and interviews with workers in the Greene and Columbia counties community regarding their jobs and their relationship to their work. These stories were edited to a length, corresponding with the amount of time it takes each interviewee to earn $1, creating an inverse relationship between monetary value and time.

The Wage/Working project was created by Tennessee Watson & Laura Hadden as a part of an AIR Live Interactive Residency at free103point9 Wave Farm, and WGXC 90.7-FM in Acra, NY. Financial support was provided, in part, by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), which believes that a great nation deserves great art.

From Free Speech Radio News: Today, a four-day-long meeting on drone technology and warfare opens in Atlanta, Georgia.

The initiative is sponsored by Intel, supported by the White House Office of Digital Strategy and a range of other federal and state agencies and corporations. About 90 hacking events are taking place across the country, from Alaska to Florida. The aim, according to the organizers’ website, is “to promote transparency, participation and collaboration between governments, companies and citizens.” The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is also taking part by releasing tens of thousands of pages of files detailing torture of detainees by the Bush administration. To tell us more, we spoke with Alex Abdo, staff attorney with the ACLU’s National Security Project."

Classical music has, occasionally, caused riots among crowds hearing new works for the first time. Daniel Auber 1830 opera "La muette de Portic sparked the Belgian Revolution. Igor Stravinsky's 1931 ballet "The Rite of Spring" may be the most famous case of a rioting crowd. From Wikipedia: "On the evening of the 29 May the theatre was packed: Gustav Linor reported, "Never...has the hall been so full, or so resplendent; the stairways and the corridors were crowded with spectators eager to see and to hear". The evening began with Les Sylphides, in which Nijinsky and Karsavina danced the main roles. The Rite followed; there is general agreement among eyewitnesses and commentators that the disturbances in the audience began during the Introduction, and grew into a crescendo when the curtain rose on the stamping dancers in "Augurs of Spring". Marie Rambert, who was working as an assistant to Nijinsky, recalled later that it was soon impossible to hear the music on the stage. In his autobiography, Stravinsky writes that the derisive laughter that greeted the first bars of the Introduction disgusted him, and that he left the auditorium to watch the rest of the performance from the stage wings. The demonstrations, he says, grew into "a terrific uproar" which, along with the on-stage noises, drowned out the voice of Nijinsky who was shouting the step numbers to the dancers. The journalist and photographer Carl Van Vechten recorded that the person behind him got carried away with excitement, and "began to beat rhythmically on top of my head", though Van Vechten failed to notice this at first, his own emotion being so great." Other works are explored.

The week's media and radio news, assembled, with radio art, and other interesting sounds.

From Free Speech Radio News: Today, the Supreme Court ruled that police may take and analyze DNA samples from a suspect held for a serious offense, paving the way for the procedure to become more common across the nation. In the case Maryland versus King, the high court ruled five to four that when police officers have probable cause they can take a cheek swab during detention in custody. The case centers on the conviction of Alonzo King, a Maryland man who was identified as the perpetrator of an unsolved rape when he was booked for separate assault charges. Victims rights groups and law enforcement hailed the decision, saying it would help identify perpetrators and prevent crime, but civil rights and privacy advocates argued that the DNA collecting is a violation of the Fourth Amendment. In a moment, we’ll hear from Hanni Fakhoury, staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, but first we’re joined by Jayann Sepich, cofounder of DNA Saves, a legislative advocacy group she founded with her husband after the murder of their daughter, Katie.

This show is a personal valentine to a true colossus of Slack who strode among us, the most sterling of SubGenius silverbacks, the ur-Ghod of the Yetinsyny...Forrest J Ackerman. Distributed by radio4all.net Forry was the most incredible OverMan I've ever known, a nurturing presence who well understood the PAIN of being one of the DIFFERENT ones. As high as he rose in fame, he never lost sight of how frightening and uncertain it is to be a lone weirdo misfit adrift in the stormy seas of Normalcy. As editor of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND, Forry seeded the fertile, developing brains of some of the most revered masters still among us. And the lowliest geek clad in homemade cardboard robot armor not only received this Great Man's approval, that kid was imbued with the Truth that HE WAS ON THE RIGHT TRACK, even as those around him sought to derail his dreams. Forry did more than simply FEED those dreams, he made them GLORIOUS! I knew this wonderful being so well that it tormented me to hear that he was on a deathwatch in November of 2008--thinking how empty life would be without Forry was more than my bursting heart could bear. So I tried to paint my listeners a righteous portrait of this man so that the SubGenius world would know exactly what a precious being we were losing. Forry's caregiver, the dedicated and loyal Joe Moe, wrote to say that he had played the show for Forry, who got a special sparkle from the part where I took advantage of my bully pulpit to bully a bully who had grievously bullied this great man throughout the twilight years of his life. I said the things that Forry would never bring himself to express--but it was a score that needed to be settled. All of the good wishes that poured in from every corner of the world were like a shot of adrenaline for this wonderful old man--our Forry rallied and held on to life for a few more sweet weeks, finally succumbing to the embrace of Prince Sirki the first week in December 2008. It was time to replay it, and as I spent hours grooming the pops out of THE TIN AGE, hearing that voice once more made the computer screen blur through fresh floods of tears. But it brought home the point that the Creature Forry shall always walk among us, for he left so much of his remarkable soul behind him. "Forry, Hallelujah!" is a mix of robots and monsters, because Forry was all about BOTH. But more than that--Forry was all about US. And we shall not meet his like again.

Last night's "Free Speech Radio News" was accidentally pre-empted. It is broadcast here, instead.

From Free Speech adio News: "The FBI and the National Security Agency have been collecting phone records of millions of Verizon customers, according to a secret court order obtained by the Guardian newspaper. The order, from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, required Verizon to provide information on its clients’ phone calls beginning in April. The news comes amid increased scrutiny of the Obama administration’s national security policies, stemming from the recent seizure of reporters’ phone records by the Department of Justice, and the prosecution of whistleblower Bradley Manning. In Washington, FSRN’s Anna Simonton has more."

The Amateur Radio Relay Legua reports: "The deadlines have been set for comments and reply comments in an FCC proceeding to reassess the limits and policies governing exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields. On March 27, the FCC released a First Report and Order, Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Notice of Inquiry (ET Docket Nos. 13-84 and 03-137). Publication in the June 4, 2013 Federal Register (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-06-04/pdf/2013-12713.pdf) started the clock on a 90-day period for comments, the deadline for which is September 3. There is an additional 60-day period for reply comments, i.e. until November 1. The unusually long period for comments reflects the complexity of the proceeding and underscores the Commission’s desire for specific information on the costs and benefits related to the RF exposure issue...." "While the FCC proposals do not change the existing RF exposure limits, they include the deletion of existing special exemptions from evaluation in the Amateur Radio Service in Section 97.13(c) of its rules. Minor rules changes adopted in the Report and Order section of the document take effect on August 5. A summary of the document is at http://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-seeks-to-reassess-rf-exposure-limits."

Yesterday, the Guardian revealed the identity of the person responsible for leaking documents showing the US government’s massive surveillance of phone and Internet users. Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old employee of the large private, intelligence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton said he sought to prompt a public debate on government surveillance. “I’m no different from anyone else. I don’t have special skills. I’m just another guy who sits there day to day in the office watching what’s happening and goes this is something that’s not our place to decide. The public needs to decide whether these programs and policies are right or wrong and I’m willing to go on the record to defend the authenticity of them and say I didn’t change these, I didn’t modify the story. This is the truth, this is what’s happening, you should decide whether we need to be doing this.” In an interview with the Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald in Hong Kong, Snowden said he had also worked as a Systems Administrator and a Senior Advisor to the CIA and had access to extensive data on the NSA’s surveillance program. Booz Allen Hamilton, owned by the Carlyle Group, posted $5.7 billion in revenues for the most recent fiscal year, 98 percent of which came from government funding, according to the New York Times. Snowden described why broad surveillance poses a risk to everyone not just those who commit illegal acts. “You don’t have to have done anything wrong, you simply have to have to have eventually fallen under suspicion from somebody, even by a wrong call and then they can use the system to go back in time and scrutinize every decision you’ve ever made, every friend you’ve ever discussed something with and attack you on that basis to derive suspicion from an innocent life and paint anyone in the context of a wrong-doer.” In identifying himself as the whistleblower, Snowden said his future would be uncertain and he would face risks. “You can’t come forward against the world’s most powerful intelligence agencies and be completely free from risk, because they’re such powerful adversaries no one can meaningfully oppose them. If they want to get you, they’ll get you in time. But at the same time you have to make a determination about what it is that is important to you.” The Department of Justice said it has opened a criminal investigation into the leaking of the NSA documents.

Hosted by Layna Berman, from Pacifica Radio. "Sound becomes noise when it’s an annoyance. While music is healing, noise can damage our hearing and cause stress-related disease. While what’s considered noise is individual, the range at which it damages our hearing and even our health is not. According to WHO, exposures in excess of 85 dB for more than 8 hours is potentially hazardous. 85 dB is equivalent to the sound of heavy truck traffic. Children are most at risk: as many as 80% of elementary school children use iPod-like music players for long periods at high volumes. Additionally, even if noise doesn’t wake you from sleep, sleeping with noise in excess of only 30 dB causes sleep disturbances, high blood pressure, elevated heart rate and pulse, changes in respiration, cardiac arrhythmia’s, and body movements. Since a typical daytime quiet neighborhood is about 45 dB, it isn’t hard to imagine that many neighborhoods exceed 30 dB at night. So where does that place noise on the list of exposures that contribute to illness?"

"Big Picture Science" from Pacifica Radio with show about electromagnetic spectrum. Let there be light. Otherwise we couldn't watch a sunset or YouTube. Yet what your eye sees is but a narrow band in the electromagnetic spectrum. Shorten those light waves and you get invisible gamma radiation. Lengthen them and tune into a radio broadcast. Discover what's revealed about our universe as you travel along the electromagnetic spectrum. There's the long of it: an ambitious goal to construct the world's largest radio telescope array and the short: a telescope that images high-energy gamma rays from black holes. Also, the structure of the universe as seen through X-ray eyes and a physicist sings the praises of infrared light. Literally. And, while gravity waves are not in the electromagnetic club, these ripples in spacetime could explain some of the biggest mysteries of the cosmos.

From Free Speech Radio News: "As revelations continue to emerge about the US government’s broad surveillance powers, lawmakers in Washington are speaking out against Edward Snowden’s decision to leak information about these capabilities to the media, and are calling for his extradition. But several Congress members are questioning the government’s right to collect this data in the first place and refuting claims by President Obama that they were all fully informed about the NSA’s activities. Bills introduced in the House and Senate this week aim to limit the scope of the spying, while a new lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union seeks to have the whole program ruled unconstitutional. On Capitol Hill, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein has more."

The Greene County-based legend of Rip Van Winkle is featured. Catskill sound artist Brian Dewan gives a dramatic reading of the Washington Irving-penned tale. Also, the story in songs by The Devotions, Leon Russell, David Bromberg Band, The Moldy Peaches, Al Jolson and Bing Crosby, Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt, and Witch. Plus, Belle & Sebastian quote words from the story in "I Could Be Dreaming." Irving's legend is about a man who falls asleep, and wakes up a generation later, in a very different world. From Wikipedia: "'Rip Van Winkle' is a short story by American author Washington Irving published in 1819 as well as the name of the story's fictional protagonist. Written while Irving was living in Birmingham, England, it was part of a collection titled 'The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.' Although the story is set in New York's Catskill Mountains, Irving later admitted, "When I wrote the story, I had never been on the Catskills."

"Radia" is a network of international radio stations interested in creative and forgotten ways of making radio. Each week one station makes an episode for all the others. This week, from free103point9 and WGXC, Sam Sebren and Liz LoGiudice bring you a glimpse into the transmission of Anguilla rostrata, aka the American eel. Sebren and LoGiudice trace the eel’s story from the Hudson River to the Caribbean, sometimes by way of Europe and the Pacific. Sebren and LoGiudice look at the American Eel Project’s Hudson River Estuary Program. Teams of scientists, students, and over 200 community volunteers monitor and count glass eels at 12 HREP sample stream locations along the Hudson River in New York State in the United States. Each year, glass eels – the tiny, transparent young fish – navigate the Atlantic Ocean all the way from the Sargasso Sea to the rivers along the East Coast. Every March and April, these young fish migrate into the rivers and freshwater streams, where they mature for 20 years or more before returning to the Sargasso Sea to mate and die. This episode of “Radia” tracks their progress in the Hudson River, and around the world. The entire show serves as a metaphor for the “Radia” stations and weekly transmission. Liz LoGiudice is an environmental educator and eel devotee who helps to coordinate the Hudson River Eel Project in Greene County. Sam Sebren is a volunteer citizen scientist for the HREP American Eel Research project, and a multidisciplinary artist who began his career in the East Village New York arts scene in the 1980s. A prolific maker, Sebren’s visual works take form in installation, collage, painting, photography, video, and public works. His sound-based works have ties to noise and no-genre music (Menlo Park Recordings). Sebren also uses the medium of radio to activate dialogue around ecological and social justice issues impacting New York’s upper Hudson Valley. LoGiudice and Sebren collected and edited audio from various eel experts and volunteers of all ages at various locations during the 2012 eel counting season. For more information about the Hudson River Estuary Program, or to volunteer, go here: http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/49580.html This episode was produced through the Wave Farm studios at WGXC 90.7-FM in New York, in the United States.

This regular edition of the field recordings-centric show features work by Iain Armstrong, Soduz, BJ Nilsen with Stillupsteypa, Chris Whitehead, David Precott-Steed, David Rogers, and a framework intro by Adam Malantonio.

Plus, we listen to Pauline Oliveros as she hold cicadas concerts in Kingston. Also, the team from "Off The Hook" interviews the ACLU lawyer suing the government over phone surveillance. And local headlines, weather, and more.

From Wikipedia: "Robert George "Joe" Meek (5 April 1929 – 3 February 1967[1]) was a pioneering English record producer and songwriter. His best-remembered hit is the Tornados' "Telstar" (1962), which became the first record by a British group to reach No.1 in the US Hot 100. It also spent five weeks atop the UK singles chart, with Meek receiving an Ivor Novello Award for this production as the "Best-Selling A-Side" of 1962. Meek's other hits include "Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O" and "Cumberland Gap" by Lonnie Donegan (as engineer), "Johnny Remember Me" by John Leyton, "Just Like Eddie" by Heinz, "Angela Jones" by Michael Cox, "Have I the Right?" by the Honeycombs, and "Tribute to Buddy Holly" by Mike Berry. Meek's concept album I Hear a New World is regarded as a watershed in modern music for its innovative use of electronic sounds. Joe Meek also produced music for films such as Live It Up! (US title Sing and Swing, 1963), a pop music film which featured Gene Vincent, the Outlaws pop group, jazz musician Kenny Ball and others. Meek wrote most of the songs and incidental music, much of which was recorded by the Saints and which Meek produced.[2] His commercial success as a producer was short-lived and Meek gradually sank into debt and depression. On 3 February 1967, using a shotgun owned by musician Heinz Burt, Meek killed his landlady and then himself."

Peter Phillips and Mickey Huff speak with film-maker Jean-Philippe Tremblay about his new documentary, "Shadows of Liberty," which explores the failures of commercial media. Joining that conversation is Kristina Borjesson, who lost her network TV job over her reporting of TWA flight 800.

Three headlines from Free Speech radio News:
• House Intelligence Committee holds hearing on NSA operations
• Lawsuit challenges surveillance of Muslims in NYC
• Scores detained and hundreds missing in Turkey as Justice Ministry mull social media censorship House Intelligence Committee holds hearing on NSA operations National intelligence officials appeared before the House Intelligence Committee today to speak about the formerly secret programs used to gather telephone metadata and online communications. NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander called the programs "critical" to the Intelligence community's ability to protect the nation. One of the operations Gen. Alexander discussed was the gathering of online data under the 702 program, also known via leaks to the Guardian as PRISM. "Under the 702 program, the U.S. government does not unilaterally obtain information from the servers of U.S. companies. Rather, the U.S. companies are compelled to provide these records by U.S. law, using methods that are in strict compliance with that law". Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court orders, which are classified and are supposedly limited to targets believed to be at least 51% foreign. As for the monitoring of calls of US persons, Deputy Attorney General James Cole explained the Fourth Amendment does not apply to telephony metadata. "There was a case quite a number of years ago by the Supreme Court that indicated that tel records, phone records like this that don't include any content, are not covered by the Fourth Amendment because people don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy in who they called and when they called. That's something you show to the phone company. That's something you show to many, many people within the phone company on a regular basis." Officials defended the importance of the programs and emphasized the distinction between U.S. persons with privacy rights and persons who are neither US citizens nor legal permanent residents and are physically located outside of the U.S. Witnesses were limited to Obama administration officials and did not include any privacy rights advocates. Lawsuit challenges surveillance of Muslims in NYC In New York, civil liberties attorneys have filed a lawsuit against the NYPD's Muslim surveillance program arguing it unconstitutionally targets Muslims based on their religion. Salim Rizvi reports from New York City. The lawsuit, which names New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence David Cohen as defendants, calls for an end to the city's Muslim surveillance program. It says the NYPD spying program targeting Muslims is discriminatory and violates the rights of Muslims to freely exercise their religion. The plaintiffs include a young Muslim working for a charity, a cleric, and an Islamic Center. Hamid Hassan Raza is a cleric in a Brooklyn Mosque and a plaintiff in the lawsuit: "Because of our knowledge and fear that the NYPD is spying on us, I have for years taped the sermons I give because I am afraid that an NYPD officer or an informant will misquote me or take a portion of a sermon out of context." In 2011 and 2012, the Associated Press revealed the widespread surveillance program targeting Muslims in the New York area, which included infiltration in mosques, monitoring of sermons, Islamic book shops, restaurants, and other public places. The NYPD admits that the surveillance has not led to any terrorism case, but insists that the progam is legal and required for keeping Americans safe. Salim Rizvi FSRN, New York City. Scores detained and hundreds missing in Turkey as Justice Ministry mull social media censorship In Turkey, anti-terrorism squads swept through major cities and detained about 100 people suspected of involvement in anti-government protests. Meanwhile, the justice ministry is drafting a law to restrict social media in the country. FSRN's Jacob Resneck has the story. Turkey's semi-official news agency says police raided the homes of those suspected of inciting violence in the political unrest that's rocked Turkey for nearly three weeks. Precise numbers were not available but the Istanbul Bar Association says it's received reports that about 450 people now missing and believed to have been swept up in the dragnet. Rights groups have complained of heavy-handed police tactics including the indiscriminate use of tear gas on crowds assembling in public areas. But Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan hit back today saying police are within their rights to use force and vowed to increase their power to intervene to break up demonstrations. This comes as the Justice Ministry announced it was studying ways to restrict social media in the country. Twitter and Facebook have been widely used by activists and protesters. Demonstrators have complained that Turkish broadcast media practice self-censorship and mislead their audience over the true extent of the political unrest now believed to be the largest challenge to the government during its decade in power.

Former professor at the University of Calgary, Dr. Carmen Boulter talks about her four-part documentary series in production titled "The New Atlantis" which investigates the Bosnian pyramids and the Russian pyramids currently being built. Boulter has traveled to Egypt 26 times and is the director, producer, and writer of the documentary series "The Pyramid Code." This series has aired in 34 countries, it describes how the Great Pyramid served as an energy generator. It was built on intersecting leylines, constructed from specific materials and is now thought to have harnessed and stored power created by the interaction of sunlight on water moving through passageways to build a charge using large crystal structures. Dr. Boulter is the author of Angels and Archetypes: An Evolutionary Map of Feminine Consciousness. This show airs on WBAI, and is distributed by Pacifica Radio.

From Free Speech Radio News: "In the wake of revelations about the US government’s sweeping surveillance practices, some of the biggest companies that hand over private Internet and phone data to the government, including Google and Yahoo, are challenging a ban on releasing more details to the public about what information they’ve given to the government. As many legal experts, members of Congress and privacy advocates join this call for transparency and question the constitutionality of these spying programs, President Obama and the leaders of the FBI and NSA are speaking out in their defense. FBI Director Robert Mueller told a Senate Committee Wednesday that the programs are legal and have sufficient oversights, and said any move toward transparency would be “educating our enemies.” On Capitol Hill, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein reports."

From "Democracy Now!": "In a major victory for the community radio movement after a 15-year campaign, the Federal Communications Commission has announced it will soon begin accepting applications for hundreds of new low-power FM radio stations in October. This means nonprofits, labor unions and community groups have a one-time-only chance this year to own a bit of the broadcast airwaves. It is being heralded as "the largest expansion of community radio in United States history." We’re joined by two guests: Jeff Rousset, the national organizer of the Prometheus Radio Project, which has led the campaign to challenge corporate control of the media and open up this space on the dial, and Ramón Ramírez, the president of PCUN, the largest Latino organization in Oregon. In 2006, Prometheus Radio Project helped PCUN establish the low-power FM station "Movement Radio," which has helped inform farmworkers about labor rights, as well as the larger Latino community about immigration reform efforts, health issues and other community-related topics. The FCC’s short application window for new stations will run from October 15 to October 29. "This is a one-shot opportunity," Rousset says. "The work that we do over the next four months will really help shape the course of this country’s media landscape for the next 40 years.""

From Free Speech Radio News: "President Barack Obama nominated James Comey today to be the new director of the FBI. Comey was the deputy attorney general for President George W. Bush, and in that role signed off on the Administration’s warrantless wiretapping program. If confirmed, he would lead another federal agency accused of illegal surveillance practices. The announcement comes amid new revelations about the US government’s spying powers, including documents leaked to the Guardian that show the government does at times collect domestic US communications without a warrant.

From Free Speech Radio News: "Today, Ecuador said it is considering a request for asylum from Edward Snowden, the former employee of the private intelligence contractor Booz Allen. Snowden leaked documents to the Guardian that revealed details of the extensive NSA and FBI surveillance programs. While many around the globe have expressed support for Snowden’s disclosure of the massive private data collection that’s taking place, the Obama Administration announced charges against him Friday, including Espionage. The US government is seeking his extradition, but the whistleblower organization Wikileaks is aiding Snowden in finding a country for asylum. Ecuador’s Foreign Affairs Minister Ricardo Patino read a letter he said his government had received from Snowden. In it, Snowden says he has been accused of being a traitor and it is unlikely he could receive a fair trial. After reading the letter, Patino said Snowden’s request had to do with freedom of expression and with the security of citizens around the world. The attack on leakers is also broader, and includes the targeting of journalists, as was disclosed last month in the revelations that the Justice Department was spying on the Associated Press. In an interview Sunday, Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who broke the Snowden story for the Guardian, responded to questioning from David Gregory on Meet the Press about possible prosecution for his role in the disclosures."

Mary Livingstone was born on this date in 1905, and tonight we go to her birthday party on a very early Jack Benny broadcast for Chevrolet on this date in 1933. "Frontier Gentleman" returns tonight with #37 "Ther Preacher". We are skipping over #35 & 36 as these scripts were previously heard on the series. Kendell intervenes in a gunfight between the preacher and a man who wants to kill him. Also on June 23, the radio premiere of BOSTON BLACKIE starring Chester Morris. According to the Old Time Radio Researchers: “Boston Blackie is a fictional character who has been on both sides of the law. As originally created by author Jack Boyle, he was a safecracker -- a hardened criminal who had served time in a California prison. Prowling the underworld as a detective in adaptations for films, radio, and television, the detective Boston Blackie was "an enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend to those who have no friend". It was a summer replacement for The Amos 'n' Andy Show. Sponsored by Rinso, the series continued until September 15 of that year. Unlike the concurrent films, Blackie had a steady romantic interest in the radio show -- Lesley Woods appeared as Blackie's girlfriend Mary Wesley. Harlow Wilcox was the show's announcer." Tonight, the premiere boradcast "The Jonathan Diamond" aka "The Rockwell Diamond". Finally, another ZIV syndicated series from 1951 starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall - BOLD BVENTURE - that's the name of Slate Shannon's ship. Tonight, ripped from today's headlines (sort of) #40 "Escape From Gauntanamo". Shannon is asked to help return Paul Brewer, an escaped murderer, to jail. Written by Morton Fine and David Friedkin, with music by Billy Rose.
