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.

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. Jacob Resneck, Free Speech Radio News.

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.

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.""

The Senate Armed Services Committee marked up a bill to address sexual assaults in the military...but rejected a provision to take reporting rapes and assaults outside the military chain of command.

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.

From Free Speech Radio News: Ecuador pulls out of trade deal to avoid US “blackmail” in Snowden case. Ecuador says it will pull out of a trade deal with the United States as the country considers an asylum request from NSA leaker Edward Snowden. Today Ecuador’s Communication Minister said the US was using the benefits as a form of blackmail. The AP reports the country has granted Snowden safe passage to enter the country, but Ecuador has not officially granted him asylum. Today President Obama, kicking off a trip to Africa in Senegal, addressed the US efforts to bring Snowden back to the US to face charges. He said countries considering providing asylum should abide by international law. “We’ll continue to press them as hard as we can to make sure that they do so.” Ecuador’s extradition treaty with the United States does not cover “crimes or offenses of a political character,” which could be argued in the Snowden case.

From Free Speech Radio News: "More leaked documents published this week by The Guardian shed light on additional surveillance activities carried out by the National Security Agency. Beginning under President Bush in 2001 and continuing under President Obama until 2011, the program involved mass collection of the Internet metadata of US citizens and foreign nationals, including the sending and receiving addresses of e-mails and their IP addresses, which can often reveal location. The revelations give further fuel to the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups who are demanding more transparency and accountability for these secret spying activities.

Radia Show 430: MuseRuole Radio Edition by JD Zazie for reboot.fm Berlin. "Radia" is a network of 21 stations around the world interested in creative and forgotten ways of making radio. Each week on station makes a show for all the others to air. This week: Festival Curator JD Zazie has compiled this selection of works by Felicity Ford, Heidrun Schramm, and Stini Arn for radia.fm. MuseRuole is a festival dedicated to experimental music and puts contemporary female musicians and performers at its centre. It is a journey of discovery into the wide world of current musical research, looking for specifically female modes of expression, with its own grammar and personal style. This year (2013) we focus on the theme of radio as a space for musical research and a medium of technological innovation, including notions of sending and receiving in equal measure. Even today radio is an important method of communication: it remains one of the most powerful, cheapest, accessible and world spanning of media. Despite its long history and being one of the first mass media of the last century, radio has always been able to renew itself, adapting to changing realities and remaining in step with the future. And so radio is an instrument of disseminating knowledge as well as a research space for new technologies and formats: as a global platform it offers the possibility to develop innovative networks and ways to connect. http://museruole.tumblr.com/ http://reboot.fm

From Free Speech Radio News: "Military prosecutors in the trial against Bradley Manning revealed new details about some of the diplomatic cables the army private leaked to the anti-secrecy group Wikileaks. Prosecutors submitted evidence on more than 100 cables from embassies around the world and called on testimony from State Department officials who described how the cables were classified. That’s part of the government’s attempt to make its case against Manning, who faces numerous charges, including aiding the enemy, which could carry a life sentence. For the latest, we’re joined by journalist Kevin Gosztola, he’s covering the Manning trial for Firedoglake.com."

Mankind has been exploring psychedelic substances for thousands of years. In some cultures the use of psychedelics is a ritual in their religion and integral to their daily life. Yet, it is only in the last century when governmental prohibition of psychedelics has made scientific research into the many medicinal, therapeutic, and other benefits of psychedelic substances illegal. Evidence shows that psychedelics can help people with problems from PTSD to opiate addiction to cancer, but pharmaceutical companies and the U.S. government continue to control drug policy in this "war on consciousness." For this edition of the NIRRH, Sam Sebren uses field recordings he made of the sound of cicadas being drowned out by traffic and other nearby machines, and his recordings of a Greene County legislative hearing when all the legislators were chattering simultaneously during a recess, combined with scientists and experts throughout the last 5 decades speaking about psychedelics. The resulting sound collage connects dots between drug laws, our natural world, health, and our search for higher consciousness, as a resurgence in psychedelic research is expanding around the world.

From Free Speech Radio News: French president says US spying on EU allies threatens free-trade talks; Snowden still in Moscow airport, Putin says no asylum unless he stops the leaks French president says US spying on EU allies threatens free-trade talks European leaders responded with anger to newly leaked top-secret documents that indicate US intelligence agencies bugged European Union offices in New York, Washington, DC and Brussels, tapping their phones and fax machines and accessing EU computer systems. From France, FSRN’s Liam Moriarty has more. The allegations were published over the weekend by the German magazine Der Speigel and the Guardian newspaper in the UK. Both say the leaked documents came from fugitive whistleblower Edward Snowden. They reportedly reveal a series of US programs aimed at intercepting communications among EU officials on a range of policy and trade issues. European reaction has been swift. Martin Schultz, president of the European Parliament, said if the allegations are true, it would represent a deep breach of trust. “It is shocking that the United States take measures against their most important, their nearest allies, comparable to measures taken in the past by the KGB, by the secret service of the Soviet Union.” French president Francois Hollande said the incident threatens the upcoming US-EU free trade negotiations. In 2001, the European parliament investigated NSA spying in Europe as part of the so-called Echelon Project and said that spying for economic advantage could breach EU law. Secretary of State Kerry has downplayed the current controversy, saying he didn’t know the details of the allegations, but that all countries routinely seek out information to protect their national security. Liam Moriarty, FSRN, Normandy, France. Snowden still in Moscow airport, Putin says no asylum unless he stops the leaks Former national security contractor Edward Snowden remains in a Moscow airport where he applied for asylum last night. Russian President Vladimir Putin said today that Snowden would not receive asylum unless he stops “damaging” Russia's American “partners.”

During his residency at Wave Farm, House will invoke the spirit of a town striking clock for the electroacoustic community created by the WGXC transmission. At regular intervals, a short musical piece will be broadcast. However, this piece will not simply count off the hours like a striking clock — rather, it will be the sonified data of online and physical phenomena within the geographic broadcast area. Data will be gathered from many sources: online content platform APIs such as Twitter, Flickr, etc, filtered geographically; macro environmental measurements including weather and astronomical phenomena; and local sensor systems placed on the grounds of Wave Farm measuring ambient acoustics, motion, electromagnetic qualities, and other conditions.

Rebroadcast of Wave Farm Artists-in-residence Redux (Mark Cetilia and Joe Cantrell) speaking about their work, as well as a live performance of their residency project, and special playlist of influential works.

From Free Speech Radio News: "As more details emerge about the documents leaked by US intelligence analyst Edward Snowden, the Obama Administration is publicly defending the secret spying programs as legal and necessary. But civil liberties and constitutional law experts disagree, saying the surveillance of both US citizens and representatives of foreign governments living in the US violates privacy protections in the Fourth Amendment. The leaked documents have also revealed that testimony administration officials gave to Congress this year about the scope of the surveillance was false. In Washington, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein reports."

In Other News, from WBAI in NYC, via Pacifica Radio. In past shows we've discussed in depth the energy ley line grid of New York City and how it connects to the wider region of Eastern North America. We've also talked about how certain freemason groups will perform a ritual at the base of the ley lines. These annual events are often ignored. Our guest today is author and occult researcher Matthew Delooze unlocks the hidden connections to energy ley lines, freemasons, and the ancient Egyptian holiday known as the 4th of July. Matthew explains that while visiting the Temple of Hathor in Dendera, he noticed an ancient painting with an unusual likeness to the United States flag. Have we all been tricked into worshipping an ancient goddess placed on a Sun temple for the 4th of July? Matthew Delooze joins us to explain that concept and much more. Matthew's work can be found at MatthewDelooze.com, he's the author of 3 books, You Will Be Wiser When You Are Older", "The Stars Are Falling - Reasons To Believe We Are Enslaved By The Serpent" and "Is It Me For A Moment: Breaking The Serpent's Spell"

This episode: Five jolly NRRF pirates set out to sea in their sloop to ride the radio waves. They quickly encounter a massive storm which diverts them into the Bermuda Triangle, where the ship is scuttled and underwater adventures abound, complete with creatures massive and minute, friendly and menacing. Finally they wash up on a remote island, and have to fend for themselves. This backyard radio event includes a cooking demonstration. NRRF is a collaborative effort to make unlicensed neighborhood radio art. For this Chicago iteration, the core group of noisemakers consists of Jonny Farrow, Anna Friz, Steve Germana, Jeff Kolar, Peter Speer, with Sarah Knudtson (documentation and props wrangling). Earlier projects include street radio in Montreal (2001), the NRRF Radio Roadshow (2004), and Radio Free Parkdale in Toronto (2005-2007). July 3: Pirate Picnic in the Bermuda Triangle Five jolly NRRF pirates set out to sea in their sloop to ride the radio waves. They quickly encounter a massive storm which diverts them into the Bermuda Triangle, where the ship is scuttled and underwater adventures abound, complete with creatures massive and minute, friendly and menacing. Finally they wash up on a remote island, and have to fend for themselves. This backyard radio event includes a cooking demonstration. “It's just the innocent devil's triangle / It dares you to come down, that's it's angle / That's the way of Bermuda.” -Roky Erickson

Today's "Free Speech Radio News" features Noam Chomsky, well-known for a lot of things, from his extensive and pivotal contributions to the field of linguistics to launching, and maintaining, a critical global discussion about propaganda in mass media. He’s authored more than 100 books; has been presented with dozens of honorary degrees and awards, and has taught at MIT for 58 years. Professor Chomsky recently invited FSRN to his office in Cambridge for an extended interview, conducted by our producer, Catherine Komp. On today’s program, we bring you most of that interview, exploring labor and worker-run collectives; the influence of the ruling elite on public policies; and the role of independent media and grassroots movements like Occupy.

The folks on 2600 Magazine's "Off The Hook" discuss the Federal Communications Commission's recent ruling demanding privacy on wireless signals.

Radia Show 431: Tuned City Brussels student mix (from XL AIR in Belgium). A show that consists of various excerpts from radio pieces the RITS radio students made in order to document their installations made for the Brussels version of Tuned City, a platform which proposes an examination of the relations between architecture and sound. "Radia" is an international network of stations interested in creative and forgotten ways of making radio. Each week, one station makes a show for the rest to air. The project draws the traditions of critical discussion about urban space within the architecture and urban planning discourse–as well as its strategies and working methods–into the context of sound art. This expanded discussion reenforces the potential of the spatial and communicative properties of sound as a tool and means of urban practice. At the foundations of this event are artists’ works and theoretical approaches which examine in a critical and sensitive way the given urban and architectural situations alongside their resulting socio-political implications, that re-use existing spaces or that conceive and open new spaces. A dialogue will be built at the intersection of both disciplines which traces out the complex relations and interactions of space-sound, both presenting and testing new strategies, methods, possibilities and potentials of sound work within the artistic and applied context.

His more recent attempts have involved the defacement of Steve Jobs, hemorrhoidal intimacy, violin, and synthesizers. This has occurred alone, as well as in groups such as Schweinmacht and Gram Nath, sharing stages with the likes of Rodger Stella.

Organized by the New York State Council on the Arts, Electronic Media and Film, in collaboration with the Jacob Burns Film Center, Cinema Arts Centre, Milestone Film & Video, and Wave Farm, the July 10, 2013 Digital Conversion Convening was the first in series of discussions on the impact of Digital Conversion and independent media, film and technology as an art form. Representatives from all New York State media arts organizations, and related stakeholders, were invited to attend.

This first discussion focused on the impact of Digital Conversion on independent cinemas, and worked to address the following questions: What is Digital Conversion? How is it affecting programming? Who has to transition and who can afford to wait? We will also look at requirements for conversion, cost and the future of 35mm film.

Hosted by Eve Essex from Issue Project Room Radio and AIR. Two innovative trumpeters, Nate Wooley and Mazen Kerbaj perform solo and duo at a performance organized by ISSUE Project Room in September 2012. Nate Wooley’s solo playing has often been cited as being a part of an international revolution in improvised trumpet. Along with Peter Evans and Greg Kelley, Wooley is considered one of the leading lights of the American movement to redefine the physical boundaries of the horn. A combination of vocalization, extreme extended technique, noise and drone aesthetics, amplification and feedback, and compositional rigor, Wooley has been called “an iconoclastic trumpeter” (Time Out NY), and "one of the most interesting and unusual trumpet players living today...without hyperbole” (Dave Douglas). Mazen Kerbaj is many things: a musician, a producer of comic books, a visual artist, a voice for Lebanese music, and a proponent of the fleeting nature of live and improvised music. He came to international attention in the last ten years through his founding of the Irtijal Festival in Beirut, which was followed by the record label, Al Maslakh and now Johnny Kafta’s Kids Menu, which features music by Lebanese musicians almost exclusively. Leading the charge to re-shape world improvisational language. Kerbaj’s own trumpet playing holds its own special place within the current improvisational practices on the instrument. He sidesteps the two predominant branches of practice of the new generation, those of virtuosity and anti-virtuosity, and finds a third path in which the horn truly becomes alien, speaking a language of its own.

Highlights and rebroadcasts of first two days of Deep Listening Conference at EMPAC at Troy, NY.

La troisième heure is an introspective space, in equilibrium between the subjectivity of the memory and the experience of reality. By means of the construction of imaginary soundscapes composed of sonic fragments of her own life, Clara de Asís explores the ambiguity of the remembrance and its artificiality. Sintetic sounds and anecdotical audio recordings, often faced to their own nature, converge in the same space and cohabit the sam temporality; a non-linear temporality, a temporality of the memory and of the imagination. Like two parallel lines, pushed to join, the artificious and the real converge in the same point. From this convergence, an inedit dimension is born, only present in the silence of speculation, but as real as what we have infront of our eyes.

This week on CounterSpin: As a big part of the media discussion on Egypt's coup focuses on whether it was indeed a coup, Middle East Report editor Chris Toensing says we are asking the wrong questions. He'll join us to talk Egypt, year three. Also on the show: Public broadcastingss Gwen Ifill says, media "spend a long time talking about the sequester and the fiscal cliff and all of these terrible things which are about to happen. They didn't really happen." Should we all be as relieved as Ifill suggests about the real world impact of sequestration? We'll hear from Nation contributor and ThinkProgress economic policy editor Bryce Covert.

Recordings of Pauline Oliveros and her Deep Listening Institute.
