The 80s live with the sounds of chipmunks....singing 80s classics! Some goofy instrumentals and TV's favorite bigot...of the 1970s that is, takes to croon a tune with his wife and the results are...ear piercing! but you expect that from us...right?

At the close of the program, Phil Taylor follows up on last week's commentary about Myanmar. Phil discusses the 'fact-finding report' on Myanmar.

Health and life are man's most precious possessions; and anxiety to preserve them is natural. It is not surprising, therefore, that they have been exploited since time immemorial. Every age has had its charlatans, quacks and medicine men. Much in the same measure as social organization has attained its highest pitch in the present era, the exploitation of health and life today has reached its zenith. Never before in history has there arisen such an extensive conspiracy about the problem of public health of entire nations, involving well-organized, opposing political and commercial groups. The consequence of this welter of exploitation is the sacrifice of human comfort, happiness, health and life. --Emanuel Josephson, 1941, "Your Life is Their Toy."

In an explosive interview, without mincing words, former CIA case officer, Phil Giraldi elaborates on his two recent articles on Unz Review, “Why Confronting Israel is Important: The Jewish State Is No friend” (Aug. 14) and “Israel’s Fifth Column: Exercising Control from Inside the Government,” (Sept. 4). The degree of Jewish power in the US and within US political institutions has reached such a dangerous point, as Giraldi describes it, that he has no hesitancy in frequently bypassing the “acceptable” use of “Zionist” in Left circles, when speaking of Israel’s supporters and using in conjunction with it, or in its place, the taboo "J” word which the dominant culture insists must only be used in positive contexts. But since it is Jews and Jewish organizations such as the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, the Zionist Organization of America, and AIPAC, that are buying and intimidating our politicians and infiltrating the federal government on behalf of Israel’s perceived interests and not the Christian Zionists despite their numbers and votes, they are the ones about whom Giraldi is trying to make the American public aware., It is a major challenge, given the Jewish influence over the media which yammers over and over about Russian interference in US elections when whatever the Russians did is dwarfed by what Israel has been doing in plain sight. That’s an important point Giraldi makes. Most of the Jewish activities on Israel’s behalf aren’t hidden but the media refuses to see them for what they are so the public is left in the dark. This applies to Netanyahu’s ability to get the Trump White House to follow Israel’s agenda regarding the Palestine issue, Syria, and, in particular, Iran, where all the connections are not so public, such as the establishment of a US air defense base under Israeli military control in Southern Israel which could serve as a “trip wire” to get the US into a devastating war if an Iranian or Hezbollah missile happen to hit the US and kill or injure an American. One particular focus of Giraldi’s is the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (OTFI) within the Dept. of the Treasury set up by Pres. Bush in 2003 in which, it seems, only strongly pro-Israel Jews are allowed to work. This is the office that decides which countries and which companies are to be sanctioned and it has no Congressional or other oversight. As Giraldi points out, it exists to serve Israel’s not America’s interests. It, too, is not hidden from the public eye, with its first director Stuart Levey presenting himself as a proud supporter of Israel while speaking to AIPAC. Also discussed in the same context was the front page story in today (9/12) New York Times about an ardent pro-Israel Jew and opponent of the Palestinians, Ken Marcus, who had been hired to run the Civil Rights division of the Education Dept. was putting out rules that would make Jews into an ethnicity and thus entitled to civil rights protection when Palestinian students staged protests or launched campaigns for boycotting Israel. His definition of antisemitism is identical to the one that the British Labour Party was intimidated into accepting by the British Jewish establishment Giraldi’s articles can be found here: http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/why-confronting-israel-is-important/ and here: http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/israels-fifth-column-2/

In my Takes on the World commentary yesterday, preceding my interview with Phil Giraldi, I pointed out the almost daily “updates” on alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US elections and whatever crimes they can attribute to Putin while ignoring the manifest interference not only in our elections but our whole political process by Israel. Although done mostly in plain sight, this has become accepted as a normal part of US political life, or at least one that cannot be safely criticized by the media or any members of the political class. I go from there to 911 and note that questions about what actually happened and who did it, largely focusing on Bldg. 7, keep the questioning of the “official narrative” alive. I point out that the accused and “confessed mastermind” of the event, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, had been water boarded black site in Poland before he decided to “cooperate” and ended up confessing to being behind 31 attacks. That he will never be brought to trial is obvious. In Afghanistan, after mentioning the wave of Taliban attacks, I note that the number of dead Afghan soldiers and police in the first 10 months of 2016, when US officials stopped counting, dwarfs the number who died at the WTC on 911. From that I report on the large Russian military exercises that took place last week off the coast of Syria which I hadn’t seen in the US press, followed by the Washington Post story about the appointment of James Jeffrey from the AIPAC spawned Washington Inst. For Near East Policy as the State Dept.’s man for Syria who promises the US will stay in Syria until Assad is gone. I then mention that while the US troop presence in Syria is a violation of the War Powers Act, four members of Congress plan to invoke it over the US role in the Saudi-UAE war on Yemen, review the Trump administration’s war on the Palestinians, changing the status of refugees, defunding UNRWA and closing the PLO office in Washington, and conclude with John Bolton’s threat to sanction ICC judges if they attempt to bring charges against Israel and the US.

How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less Making people like you is a skill that anybody can learn. By reading body language and synchronizing behavior, it is possible to make meaningful connections with almost anybody in almost any circumstance. We appreciate and like people similar to ourselves, people we understand and people who are open. “How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less” is the title of a book by Nicholas Boothman, a neurolinguistic practitioner who lives in Toronto, Canada. Nicolas Boothman recommends "Love in the Town of Cholera," & "One Hundred Years of Solitude," both by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Originally Broadcast: January 2, 2001

With Kavanaugh, the Trump/Pence regime is poised to impose an extreme transformation of the highest court in this country—a major leap toward fascism. Sunsara Taylor on the danger Kavanaugh represents, the determined and righteous protest, the Democrats, and the kind of resistance we need.

As more and more of the western United States suffers from warmer temperatures and in some places desertification, water has become perhaps the most hotly debated topic in environmental newsrooms throughout the region. It’s no surprise then that an environmental reporter from the Palm Springs-based Desert Sun would be covering a whole host of water-related stories. This week on Sea Change Radio, we take a deep dive into a pool of topics with Sammy Roth that hopefully won’t dampen your spirits. First, we breakdown a noteworthy case involving one wealthy farmer’s crusade against his local water district, then we turn to the controversy surrounding two proposed hydropower facilities and last we take a look at a company that’s causing a stir by trying to sell desert groundwater to urban areas.
