In Other News topics range from the conspiratorial, controversial, and esoteric near the fringe of belief systems. From Pacifica Radio. Radio host Mark Passio is the guest. Mark is a member of the Nikola Tesla Club and runs the site WhatOnEarthIsHappening.com. He joins us to talk about that presentation and other lectures he's given discussing natural law, and the New Age deception. We also get rare insight into how far the influence of the satanic church reaches into society and works very hard to manipulate human perception. How effective is human perception being managed? You merely need to take a look around you at how virtually no significant change occurs to the type of primary energy source that drives personal vehicles, nearly everyone is willing to put a cancer causing microwave transmitting device to their heads, and a massive global weather control operation continues in plain sight as aircraft release chemicals into the atmosphere. An operation clearly discernible from regular commercial air traffic.

Summer Reese, recently fired Pacifica Foundation Radio Executive Director, is interviewed, from the Pacifica studios in San Francisco she is currently occupying against the wishes of the current board. Recorded Wed., April 2 on WBAI in New York. Do not call during rebroadcast. Off The Hook, from the hacker zine 2600, airs every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. ET in New York City on WBAI 99.5 FM, and is rebroadcast the next morning at 5 a.m. on WGXC and Wave Farm Radio, and also sometimes at 6 p.m. Saturdays.

Do not call during the rebroadcast. Rebroadcast from April 2, 2014. From The New York Times: "Ms. Reese’s dismissal is the latest in a series of changes in recent years that have destabilized Pacifica and its five stations. In August, WBAI, which operates a powerful signal at 99.5 FM but is millions of dollars in debt, laid off 19 of its 29 employees, including the entire news staff. The station, which is supported almost entirely by listener donations, has since been through two program directors and struggled publicly with its fund-raising."

Radia Show 470: "The Exquisite Corpse" by various producers from Campus Paris radio in France. The first Campus Paris programme for the Radia network is a cadavre exquis or exquisite corpse inspired by the Surrealist game invented in Paris in 1925. It is similar to the game Consequences in which players write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution. This version takes the exquisite body not only as technique but also the inspiration for the piece. Regular Campus Paris contributors have teamed together to produce a series of short audio sequences and will only hear the whole programme at the end when the segments are unfolded and revealed to the listener.

This is the 20th year of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting's media analysis radio show, hosted by Janine Jackson, Steve Rendall, and Peter Hart. This week: "Ralph Nader on GM safety; Liz Kennedy on McCutcheon v. FEC."
