WITH MIMI SOLTYSIKBernie Sanders is understandably getting a lot of attention to his bid for the Democratic primary, but some long-time socialists question his socialist credientials. If anyone has standing to discuss the issue, it is the candidate of the US Socialist Party. While that is yet to be determined, Mimi Soltysik, one of the candidates for the nomination, joins Taking Back America to talk about his vision of a socialist America, the obstacles to getting there, and how we might do so if the majority of Americans make clear that is what they want.

Both are attempts by the Empire to establish what GHW Bush labeled the New World Order, the idea of which is a stable order where those who control the US and other Western governments can set the rules for all of us. In the case of Ukraine, the US role is so obvious that the CEO of the private intelligence agency Stratford called it "the most blatant coup in history." Even Kissinger acknowledged it, yet the US government and the pressitutes in the corporate media deny that obvious reality. In Syria, the hand of the US has been seen even in the corporate media since as early as 2012, along with blatant involvement of Turkey and Saudi Arabia and a less publicized role for Israel. Despite this, the Obama administration has yet to give up on its demand that Assad must go, no matter how many innocent Syrians die as a result. In this interview, Karl Eysenbach deconstructs the Empire, hgihglighting its vulnerabilities and the reasons he believes it is failing.

WITH JERRY ASHTONConventional wisdom is that Sanders' bid for the Democratic nomination will end as a tempest in a teapot. Those on the far left argue it will harm the effort to foment a real democratic revolution by reinforcing the myth that voters must support one of the Duopoly candidates backed by corporate patrons in order to win. They pounce on positions that show willingness to compromise to make the claim that he is not serious about change anyway. Others see in his campaign evidence of a genuine revolt against the plutocracy. While those who are objective will concede that he is not really going to lead the US directly to where it needs to go to become a democracy and a responsible player on the world stage, the very fact of his popularity will not only promote the discussion needed to make Americans realize what needs to be done, but help build the grassroots organization necessary to do it. In addition to starting a conversation about the real roots of inequality and falling standards of living in the US, he is promoting specific actions to address the corrupting influence of money in politics, which he has been working on actively as a member of the Senate. Joining the show in this discussion is Jerry Ashton, an Occupy activist and Huffington Post blogger who was an early promoter of Sanders and is now very involved in trying to convince Americans that the Sanders campaign is viable and utterly urgent.  This show will be rebroadcast on August 29` at 2 PM PST/ 5 PM EST on the Star Com Radio Network.

WITH HARLEY SCHLANGERIf you are like most Americans, you either don't know anything about repeat Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche or you only know the widespread characterizations about him. In view of the corruption that has become obvious to the most casual observer of the US government, it is worth considering whether his views stand by themselves. There has to be a reason for the intense loyalty he generates from those who know him best. In this show, we first talk to one of his national spokespersons about the myths around LaRouche and the dangerous ideas he has about how to address the coming economic crisis and establish a just socioeconomic system. Dangerous to the banksters, anyway. Then the topic turns to exactly how the banksters are plotting to take over the planet, how their plan is playing out in Greece and what we can do to stop them.  This show will be rebroadcast on July 11 at 2 PM PST/ 5 PM EST on the Star Com Radio Network.

This is because the same transnational corporations have been very busy in recent history capturing the governments. This is especially true of the international banking cartel, which by its ownership 147 of the largest international corporations controls 43,00 of the next largest corporations, thereby dominating entire industries that are looked out for by these captured governments. As in the US, Canada is now ruled by corporatist tools in Parliament and the Prime Minister's office. Their agendas are the same: privatization, growing the military-industrial complex, promoting dependence on fossil fuels, abetting the loss of sovereignty by signing on to free trade agreements that give transnational corporations virtual control over government and suppressing dissent by draconian laws presented as necessary to fight the manufactured "War on Terror" by which the Empire of which both are a part justifies endless war to expand the global corporate empire.

As for the covert operations, do we really need an unaccountabel agency overthrowing governments, conducting assassinations, propagandizing Americans and their allies, all to serve the "national interests" which are assumed to be identical to those of the leaders of transnational corporations who dictate US foreign policy acccording to their business plans?

This makes it possible to manufacture consent for or conceal the US role in conflicts throughout the Mideast and the world. Their techniques of propaganda have become so sophisticated and their control of the mainstream media so absolute that few Americans and not many more Europeans have a clue as to what is really going on in Syria, Libya, Ukraine and elsewhere. John Mesler of New Jersey is an ordinary American whose eyes were opened when he started to look at the victims of US imperialism through their eyes rather than the lens of the corporate media. Through use of social media, he was able to establish extensive contacts in Syria with people who helped him understand what was really happening  while he studied the allternative media for the background to understand why these events were occuring, Mesler's research led him to go to Syria in April of this year, where he got the chance to talk directly with many Syrians who showed him the facts on the ground in places where travel was not out of the question due to the dangers posed by the ongoing terrorist invasion. On this show, he shares what he has learned. This show will be rebroadcast on May 11 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST on the Star Com Radio Network.

Naomi Klein argued in her most recent book This Changes Everything that this is an inevitable result of the capitalist model. She points out that most reformers who want to get away from an economic system where regulation is only permitted by the regulated when it is to their benefit refuse to see that reform is not enough, because the problem is built into capitalism. Rob Dietz, the former Executive Director of Center for the Advancement of a Steady State Economy (CASSE) has studied the problem of addressing limits on growth in depth, writing about it in his book Enough is Enough. He is currently working with Farmland LP, a company that acquires farmland and turns it into organic farms for organic farmers to manage without the cost of buying land, and that permits investors to make a profit from converting to an environmentally sustainable and economically sensible model of healthy food production.

WITH GREG WASSONContary to popular opinion, the US Constitution not only failed to produce a democracy but did not even create a representative democracy. In addition to the exclusion of women, the propertyless, slaves and indentured servants from the right to vote, the original Constitution had built-in protections against democracy, which was just as now was considered then by some to be "tryanny of the majority." The failure to educate our children about the genuine history of the US and the systematic brainwashing to convince them we live in a democracy has obscured the fact that we could have a much more representative government if we would give up worship of the Founders and abandon the ridiculous notion of "original intent" that suggests the constitution was written on stone tablets and handed down by God.

To understand how to break through the denial of people who admit that global climate change exists but who want to believe there are good reasons to do nothing about it, we need to call in a psychotherapist.

Conversations have started in the US and Europe that were previously considered unthinkable due to the collective guilt of the world about allowing the conditions that gave rise to the Holocaust. While politicians in the US continue to be effectively captives of AIPAC and the rest of the Israeli lobby, the blatant attempt by Netanyahu to undermine President Obama's foreign policy again by speaking directly to the Israeli loyalists that control Congress have led a few to rebel in a small way. A brilliant campaign to target an multibillion dollar Israeli government-controlled shipping company, recent successes in the BDS movement, increasing protests from the US religious community and a general increase in the visibility of American and European oppostion to Israeli belligerence and Zionism itself offers for the first time since the Nakba the prospect that Israel can be compelled to become the democratic state that it purports to be.  Former AIPAC member Rich Forer, author of Breakthrough: Transforming Fear into Compassion, A New Perspective on the Israel-Palestine Conflict, joins us to talk about the increasing movmentum of the Palestinian solidarity movement.

The movement clearly threatened what was then known as "The Establishment," which is often described as the National Security State. The movement lost much of its momentum with the murders of JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King, Jr and Malcom X. By the time the Vietnam War ended, so did any organized movement to challenge the corporate control of the US government that has only tightened in the ensuing decades. That is why it is so important to understand how and why these men were killed, because the same forces are operating in the US today and evidence points to their involvement in manipualting the events of 9/11 to promote a Global War of Terror as a mask for the organized assault on democracy throughout the world. Court Dorsey is the author of Project Unspeakable, a play based on actual quotes of those who were close to the murders, their investigations and the coverups. He talks about what happened then and why it matters now. This show will be rebroadcast on November 22 at AM PST/ 12 PM EST on the Star Com Radio network.

Despite an obvious pattern of police violence against people of color, many Americans continue to insist that we live in a post-racial society. Often, they point to the election of President Obama as proof. When it is pointed out that many of the attacks on Obama are overtly racist, it provokes angry denial among the Tea Party types. The problem is that just as most Tea Party supporters do not acknowledge their unconscious racist biases, their accusers fail to take into account the fact that holding such unrecognized beliefs is not the same thing as consciously choosing to believe in the superiority of one race over another. Walter Davis is a retired military veteran, a survivor of the infamous 16th Street Church bombing in Birminghamd that killed several Black children and an expert at facilitating discussions about race. In this show, we talk about what it will take to have an honest discussion about racism in America and how we can work together to unite people of different races, polititical philosophies and socioeconomic circumstances to work together to establish liberty and justice for all.

WITH SCOTT RICKARDOccasional truths interspersed in the propaganda of the corporate media suggest that ISIS is not what it seems. We know that it is a product of the intelligence agencies of the US, Sauds and others who have created a terrorist Army in Syria. The myth of "moderate" terrorists is so patently false that it was ridiculed in an Any Borowitz column, yet "serious" commentators in the corporate media have yet to consider what all this means. Is ISIS the deliberate creation of a network of intelligence agencies or the "Frankenstein's monster" some call it? Is it fulfulling its function in creating pretexts to oust al Maliki in Iraq, create a cooperative Kurdish enclave in Iraq, and attack Syria to establish a base for US-backed terrorist operations aimed at destablizing the nation? Even if it was a deliberate creation, has is gotten out of control? Are the US-led attacks actually aimed at ISIS at all, or are they merely a pretext to justify a wider conflict with the goal of "controlling" the entire Mideast through creating chaos that prevents any other power base from arising?

How far does the influence of such a person reach? James Faller knows better than anyone. He has been the victim of repeated malicious prosecutions by the Justice Department, the IRS and two state governments.  His story will shock you and educate you about the degree to which those who serve the interests of the international elite are given a free pass to commit crimes and to destroy the lives of anyone who tries to expose them. This explosive story and its ramifications are so convoluted and involved that it will take several hours to fully explore. This interview with James Faller is the first of a series.

The overwhelming response to nonviolent protests of the apparent execution of a young man by police was frightening to many people who always believed that if they weren't doing anything wrong, they had nothing to fear from the police. How did the police get militarized? Will Congress do anything about it in the aftermath of Ferguson? Is it possible that the war on terror is an excuse for preparing for domestic unrest in the face of what many are predicting will be a complete collapse of the Ponzi scheme that the American and global financial system has become?  I address these and other questions with our resident political and economic expert Karl Eysenbach in this episode of Taking Back America.

People are wondering whether they will even be relevant to the global democratic revolution we are trying to organize. They face the power of the Kochs and others determined to end collective bargaining, constant anti-union propaganda, member apathy and lack of support from both Duopoly parties. How much of the problem is due to the unions themselves and what can we do about it? Are international unions part of the solution or part of the problem? Whatever the answers to these questions, we need to find a way to make unions relevant to average Americans again by mobilizing their members to organize a united international front against fascism and war. Joining us to discuss these vital issues on Saturday, August 9 will be Dan Kovalik, general counsel for United Steel Workers in Pittsburgh. As anyone who is familiar with USW knows, its President Leo Girard is a frequent guest on The Ed Schultz Show.

Whatever the complete story, we know enough to conclude that the official conspiracy theory is full of holes. The investigation was initially stonewalled by the Bush administration, reluctantly being agreed to only because of the dogged inistence of family members of victims who would not accept being lied to.  Different groups and individuals are pursuing the truth in different ways. Some are investigating and exposing the suppressed evidence that led both 9/11 Commission co-chairs and its chief counsel to repudiate its conclusions, citing lies, ommissions and obsfuscations by the CIA, FBI and NIST, which was given $33 million to produce a report so faulty that they had to recant key findings. The basic assumptions of the computer model they used to simulate the collapse of the Twin Towers and Building 7 remain a secret despite a FOIA request to release them to the public. On this episode of Taking Back America, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth founder Richard Gage explains the scientific basis for challenging the 9/11 Commission report and calling for a new investigation. We also talk about the other projects A&E 911 Truth and other groups are engaged in to wake up Americans to the fact that we have to demand a new investigation if we are going to Take Back America for the People.

WITH JEFF CLEMENTSEveryone understands that corporations are not people, but what does the term really mean? Jeff Clements explains it all in his book Corporations are not People: Reclaiming Democracy from Big Money and Global Corporations, the newly revised edition of his orgininal guide to overturn Citizens United. It has even more detailed instructions on how we are going to pass a constitutional amendment to overrule the Supreme Court's doctrine that corporations have constitutional rights. You can hear about them here first. The implications of corporate personhood go far beyond campaign finance. In fact, Supreme Court decisions on campaign finance do not depend on corporate personhood. They are based on a nebulous concept that "listeners" (human beings) have a right to hear whatever propaganda "speakers" (including corporations) can afford to spew on public airways and other venues. The overarching result of corporate constitutional rights are that corporations have found a way to evade regulation, courtesy of an activist Supreme Court. This threatens public health, workers rights, the environment, the economy and the sovereignty of state and local governments. In this show, we will discuss the legal and political issues involved in passing an appropriate amendment, along with strategies for overcoming the obstacles they present.

The same tired arguments are being used to justify what the UN is now calling war crimes by Israel, but fewer people than ever are buying the lies. To effectively counter the lies and gain support for justice in Palestine, we have to be armed with the facts. If you want to participate in a discussion that goes beyond the usual talking points, join us on SFPI Radio on Saturday, July 26 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST when we will be talking to two experts who will share their unique perspectives. No one knows better than Rich Forer the real history of Israel and how it explains its actions in this conflict, Forer is a former member of AIPAC and the author of Breakthrough: Transforming Fear into Compassion, A New Perspective on the Israel-Arab Conflict. He will be providing perspective to understand the situation in the first hour.  In the second, former NSA analyst Scott Rickard will join us to talk about the internal politics of Palestine, a topic that is almost never discussed and is little understood outside the region.

Ironically, wars are most often fought for access to fossil fuels. Dependence on them may be our undoing. Fittingly, the military uses a greatly disproportionate amount of these fuels to keep the war machine going. Halting climate change is integral to ending war. The problem is more complicated than most people realize. Unless you have done some serious research, it is much more dangerous than you know. There is good reason to think that we are on a course to extinction of the human race. Multiple positive feedback loops appear likely to cause global climate catstrophe much sooner than we have been led to believe. Human civilization hangs in the balance. Billions  will die for decisions we have already allowed others to make. However, if we can build a united international front against fascism and war to challenge the war profiteers, we will have the strength to do what can be done to assure the survival of civilization. This is the end of the world as we know it. What comes next is up to us.

The movement was a great influence in preparing Americans to demand that the government intervene to help them in the wake of the Great Depression. We are now going through a depression that would dwarf that if the 30s were it not for the social safety net that Roosevelt began to build in an effort to not only save capitalism but to help millions of suffering Americans. The New Deal was the embodiment of much of the Square Deal that FDR's cousin Teddy fought for in a period that marked the rise of political power of Populism. Now the social safety net is being shredded, threatening to impoverish even more millions of Americans who have already been made poor by the bankster devastation of the economy in 2008 that was largely the result of the destruction of the Glass-Steagal Act by a Republican Congress and a Democratic President in 2003. The banksters are still the enemy and the People must rise again to stop them, using lessons learned from the Populists applied with 21st Century tools.

US foreign policy is guided by the goal of corporate world domination. FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley gave a recent interview with FARS News in which she laid out in the simplest possible terms just how American politicians are using its superpower status in the service of their corporate Puppetmasters to establish a New World Order in which they would rule forever. The mainstream media will not touch it, which makes it a perfect topic for Taking Back America, where we explore each week the cost of allowing corporate control of the US government.

With business magazines full of ideas for capitalizing on what hard-headed investors know is coming, it is hard for a rational person to believe the Koch Brothers and other fossil fuel advocates who pay to discredit scientists who long ago proved climate change is a fact. If that isn't enough, record droughts, storms and the opening of the Northwest Passage should make the case to anyone not hopelessly deluded by the propaganda. Now that we are ready to face the truth, it is time to look at what could happen if we do not act fast. Most of the climate change activists have been reluctant to admit the terrifying worst-case possibilities for fear of inducing hoplessness and paralysis, but some feel we have to face the awful truth to summon the will to make the tremendous changes necessary for the survival of human civilization. One such fearless researcher is Guy McPherson, our guest on Taking Back America in this episode. He is routinely demonized by people who fail to understand his arguments and the motivation behind them, adding to the steady drumbeat of voices lulling even advocates for addressing climate change into a dangerous complacency.

The fact that this is a civil war for national liberation is obscured by the fact that US media is painting it as a terrorist invasion. The truth is that the US and its erstwhile allies in the Gulf monarchies are behind the insurgency. The motivation seems obvious: To take down the Maliki government that is a powerful ally of Iran. So why is the US reaching out to Iran to keep its ally in power, when Maliki clearly is no friend of the US or his people?

Engineering districts to benefit one party or the other has been raised to a fine art, making most of them safe for incumbents. Current members of Congress have over a 90% chance of being re-elected. Those who call to "throw all the bums out" generally seem to feel that their bums are the exception to the rule, not making the connection to why Congress as a whole has a 9% approval rating. With the stunning defeat of House Speaker Eric Cantor by a candidate who spent little over 5% of what he did, it is evident that unified action by disaffected voters can affect elections. Citizens of Virginia's District 7 have shown both conservatives and liberals that they do not have to settle for the choices of the establishment in the Duopoly parties. The key to turning this apparent anomoly into a trend will be to get self-identified liberals and conservatives to agree on issues that they can unite on and use them to elect candidates who will represent the People and not special interests. Poltical analyst Karl Eysenbach joins us once again to talk about how some activists are organizing in Eugene, Oregon to challenge the lock that party flacks have on the Board of County Commissioners. Their success in the recent elections holds lessons for everyone who wants to end corporate control at all levels of government, end the gridlock in Washington and Take Back America for the People.

Our guest Drea Tosi thinks that we cannot and should not try to recreate that movement but build on it to create a movement that suits the people and the situation today. He has devoted his life since 1990 to awakening people to the fact that together, we can end war if we begin by reimagining peace and challenge the root causes of conflict. He agrees with us at Taking Back America that the root cause of modern war and proxy war is the corruption of governments by powerful interests who profit from global confict, in particular the US government, since it is the world's only superpower and dominates it through the greatest military, eocnomic and political force ever amassed by an Empire in human history. In this show, he talks about how we can form a united international front against fascism and war that can topple the Empire by challenging that corruption.

The outcome of the US-backed terrorist coup there may hinge on Turkey, whose embattled Prime Minister is waging a curiously successful war against democracy in a country once hailed as the model of a a secular government in a Muslim nation. Many Turks have rejected the secular vision of Ataturk, Founder of the Turkish Republic. The protests that erupted in Gezi Park led to a vicious government crackdown followed by show trials of military officers not loyal to the aims of the Muslim Brotherhood, which Erdogan's AKP Party represents. In part to serve that agenda, Erdogan has supported the Empire's proxy war against Syria in collaboration with Israel and the Gulf Kingdoms. They may seem strange bedfellows, but it all makes sense if you understand the complex web of interests alternatively cooperating and competing for roles in the New World Order they are attempting to create. In the middle of all this are the Kurds, a people with out a nation whose population is divided into the post-WWI artificial constructs of Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. There struggle to find a balance between solidarity and autonomous self-determination provides lessons in how to construct a post-fascist global order.

Shawn Hamilton was raised by such a man, a retired Air Force major who fought in WWII but was so reticent to talk about his experiences that Hamilton did not know that his father served an entire career in the military until after his death. In reading through papers that gave a picture of his father's war experiences, he realized the tremendous transformation his father had undergone after his military service, through which he became decidedly antiwar. Since his son had never met his grandfather, he decided to write a book about him, placing his experiences in a wider social context of events in the post-war period until the present. The result was Be All You Can Be, a fascinating holographic look at war, the society that spawns it and how it affects each of us.

The truth is that many of the benefits are rarely talked about because maximizing the benefit to average people will require a sea change in politics. Free energy, healthy organic foods, localized economies with fair trade for goods that cannot be produced locally are benefits beyond the obvious one of saving the environment our children will live in.  On Saturday, May 10 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST we will talk with former Executive Director of Oregon Renewable Energy Project about how we will achieve energy independence not only from oil producing nations but from centralized private energy interests.

In fact, a recent Princeton study showed that on over 1,000 issues, the government has taken actions contrary to the will of Americans as expressed in scientific polls. The central problem that has led to this situation is corruption of US government by special interest money, especially that used to elect federal office holders who then represent those special interests instead of those of average Americans. What is to be done? That is what we talk about on this episode of Taking Back America with former union lobbyist Paul Winger of Abolish Corporate Personhood Now. From his work to promote a constitutional amendment ending the doctrine of corporate constitional rights to legislative campaign finance reform and other anti-corruption efforts, Americans are taking a stand for representative government.

It is considered by most people to be a "liberal" idea for ideological reasons, but for economic reasons it can fairly be called conservative. Since so many people call themselves "fiscally conservative and socially liberal," can we have a real debate without the ideology? We just might find that single payer fits that description. Obamacare has forced us to reopen the debate. As its flaws become ever more apparent, we must encourage Democrats who have fallen for the bait-and-switch that replaced a promise of universal health care with a bailout for the bankster-owned medical insurance industry. On March 29 during the first hour, I discussed these issues with anarcho-capitalist commentator Jake Counts, host of We Are Not Cattle.  In the second, Abin Griffin talked about how the worker-owned economy is essential to building the type of society that is capable of supporting a sigle payer system with an aging population.

To the extent that rural Americans hold these attitudes, it is a reflection of their reliance of the corporate media on which to base their political opinions. It is likely that this shapes consensus opinion in America's heartland, in part because those holding minority views may be intimidated from expressing contrary opinions.

Having exhausted its capacity to launch American invasions paid for by US taxpayers and seeing its terrorist mercenaries failing miserably to challenge the sovereignty of Syria using a Libyan-style coup strategy, it has resorted to bribery of corrupt puppet politicians in the former Soviet Union, traitors to the cause of freedom and democracy. Although Assad has not fallen, the goal of destablizing the government is succeeding, albeit at the cost of support of the US population and angering the impatient imperialist Netanyahu as well as the fascist House of Saud. This has emboldened the Empire to double down in Venezeula. The outlines of the New World Order get more clear, yet Americans and Europeans continue to see the obvious pattern.  What led so many Ukrainians to fall into the trap of welcoming the EU austerity that will surely follow in the wake of the coup?

However, even those who accept its reality have a psychological block against seeing that a massive die off of humans is all but inevitable as a result.  Climate change limits how long we have to stop the madness of the current world system and find a way to save humanity from itself, but there is an inherent limit on how long we can continue to consume the Earth's resources at the current rate, let alone one that would result from helping other nations reach their economic potential. This is the population bomb that is ticking while Westerners fret about their declining standard of living. Until we deal with this, that is also unavoidable. The implication of all this is that that it will lead to draconian methods of government control of a restive world population unless we unite to find our own solution democratically. On February 16 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST talked about these and other dangers Mankind faces that threaten civilization itself.

If large segements are going to have to move away from islands and shorelines, where will they go?

That depends on who you ask. To understand the complexities of violence in the Mideast, it is important to have a grasp of the ways in which Islam is used to promote war and other forms of terror by fostering division and hatred. In other times and places, that has been true of all religions. Now it is being used to create a global corporate Empire that controls the Mideast.

They cite the Crusades, the sectarian violence in the Mideast and "religious" riots in Myanmar, India, Bangladesh and elsewhere.  What they do not recognize is that religion is not the problem. Abuse of people's faith in religious leaders is. It is one thing to put your trust in God, but if you trust any leaders to tell you what God wants you are going to find that those who seek power will often abuse this trust. It doesn't matter if they are priests or politicians, imans or idolators praying at the altar of corporate profits. With some 80% of Americans and most of the rest of the world professing belief in some sort of God, it is foolish and short-sighted to demonize the faith of the majority of people who we need to build a united international front against fascism and war. War was outlawed by the Kellogg-Briand treaty only because religious leaders put aside differences to work together with secular groups and individuals in the common cause of peace. That is a lesson we all must learn from. On Saturday, January 18 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST SFPI Radio will host Pastor Mary Sue Evers of the United Church of Christ.

The War on Terror is viewed by many as what Bush called a "Crusade." This phrase has a very specific historical meaning that perhaps he did not appreciate.

What is less well known is that Coca-Cola is literally getting away with murder in Latin America. Coke shows the effects of unchecked corporate power of even the producer of seemingly benign products. Evidence shows it has funded death squads in Latin America targeting union organizers with intimidation, rape and murder. It abuses its economic power to bribe officials in Mexico, India and elsewhere to privatize, deplete and poison vital water supplies, practice racial discrimination and commit a variety of other corporate crimes. Americans are realizing the effects of corporate control of government but outsourcing, deregulation and lack of accountability for harm to individuals and society do not compare to abuses of workers in other nations. Understanding what corporate executives do to their workers in other countries shows why we have to stand with them or suffer the same fate.

Most people assume that Obama has made serious errors in strategy that they more often than not assume he developed. They regard the collapse of the strategy for a direct attack on Syria as due to his hubris, not realizing that the reason that he often seems like GW Bush II is that the plans for reshaping the Mideast were drawn up long before he even became a senator.  If Obama was merely following a script, it appears that he may now be making decisions based on the recognition that the neocon plan for world domination is falling apart. His decisions led to standing down on Syria, intentionally or not. However, his outreach to Iran is a direct rejection of the neocon plan he was following until then. It represents a challenge to the right wing policies of the Israeli government, the Sauds and the war hawks in the US of both parties. A major realignment in alliances appears possible. The question is, is this a genuine shift in policy away from Empire building or just a new strategy to achieve the same objectives?

The arguments in the corporate media by both supporters and opponents of the bill are rife with distortions, cherry-picking of facts, outright lies and partisan arguments that add much heat but little light to the debate. This is the perfect time to examine how Obamacare was created and how a process dominated by the insurance industry resulted in what some predicted early in the debate: A bailout for an insurance industry that was pricing itself out of existence. If supporters of ACA do not start to acknowledge its fatal flaws, the political fallout for the Democratic Party and the cause of true universal health care is likely to be enormous.

The most popular "alternative" media sources amount to French vanilla as an alternative to the plain vanilla flavor of the traditional corporate media. That means that if we want truly independent media, we have to build it ourselves. Any such an effort must include a voice on talk radio, which is dominated by right wing commentators and on the left, apologists for a Democratic Party that is as dependent on corporate campaign contributions as the Republicans. That is why Bob Williams started the Star Com Media. Beginning with one small low power station operating out of his home, he has built a network of 19 micro-stations affiliated with 137 other stations around the US and overseas, as well as an internet-based video network.  On Monday, December 9 at 9 AM PST/ 12 EST he will be a guest on Taking Back America to talk about the state of the US media and his vision of how to transform it into a source of reliable information and meeting place for those wanting to talk about how to Take Back America for the People.

To convince Americans to sacrifice their chidren on the altar of greed, there must always be an enemy, an existential threat to "American interests," which are defined as the interests of the international corporations that dictate US foreign policy. Since the fall of the Soviet system, that enemy has increasingly been the bogey man of Islamic extremism. After 9/11, that has been defined in the minds of many Americans as being of the Muslim faith. The US government has been diligent in keeping that fear alive, with among other things FBI entrapment schemes that allow them to claim they are foiling terrorist plots when they are actually creating them. In some cases, charges are entirely fabricated. Whatever your views on the Muslim religion, you have to realize that the targeting of this or any group is just the first step in dividing the People so that they do not united to fight the real enemy, corporate power over the US governments. Laila Yaghi returns to Taking Back America today at 3 PM to talk about her own experience with Islamophobia and the nightmare it has caused her family after her sone fell victim to an FBI effort to prove it is doing its job in the "War on Terror" that masks a very real war on democracy.

There is no issue more central to the critical problems that world leaders are failing to address than the corruption that makes them feel more beholden to their corporate masters than to their Peoples. Given the size of its economy and military, the US is clearly at the center of the problem. Creating a true democracy there is the key to ending fascism and war in the world. That means attacking the source of the plutocrats power, which is their ability to determine who Americans can choose from in federal elections. As long as the myth that there are two parties rather than one corporate Duopoly beholden to moneyed interests, Americans are going to continue to elect candidates vetted by the rich unless they can be made to understand how to sort out those who are running to represent them from those who wish to represent the corporate interest. There is a growing movement to amend the constitution to strip the power of corporations and the rich to determine who Americans can vote for. The effort has struggled against a variety of divisive forces. Once organized however, it has the potential to transform the nature of politics in the US and the world. On Saturday, November 30 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST Mary Beth Fielder will join us to discuss the movement to amend the constitution, the victories it has won, the problems it faces and how we might overcome them to pass an amendment before failure to act on global climate change runs out the clock.  Know the truth and the truth will set you free.

WITH KARL EYSENBACHAs awareness and outrage over the TransPacific Partnership grows in the US and elsewhere, the prospects for easy passage are getting rockier by the day. The Wikileaks release of one of the more damning chapters granting sovereign powers to corporations over nations raised visility tremendously. Tea party favorite Michelle Bachmann, nearly 2 dozen other Republicans and over 130 Democrats in the House have called for transparency in the negotiations and it looks too late to ram fast track authority through Congress in this session. All that, and some of the nations are balking at the giveaways demanded by the banksters who stand to profit the most from TPP.

The reality is that on any given night in the US, nearly 700,000 Americans are homeless. !3% are veterans, 22% are children and 42% are homeless, many of them mentally ill. Until Americans are willing ot face these facts, the situation is likely to continue to worsen. The once-vibrant US economy appears to be broken beyond repair, continuing to suffer the devastation caused by the unrestrained greed of banksters that resulted in the crash of 2008. Dealing with homelessness is just one aspect of dealing with the economic injustice that has nearly brought the US to its knees, with tens of millions suffering for the actions of a small number of the wealthy elite.  There will be no justice for any of us until there is justice for all. On Friday, November 22 Taking Back America will host Allie Valkyrie, who is leading a movement to address homelessness in Eugene, Oregon in a campaign that is gaining national attention.?

International corporations that profit from a deeply unjust economic and political system manipulate governments and their militaries to preserve their power and increase wealth of a small class of international economic elite. Understanding the historical roots and the way the current situation has developed is essential to understanding how to end the wars that it epitomizes. Few are better qualified than Zoltan Istvan, a journalist, documentary producer and author who covered the conflict for years beginning in 2002.  We also talked about his visionary novel of a just future society, The Transhumanist Wager.  On November 16, SFPI Radio explored this problem and the elements of a solution that involves the creation of a united international front against fascism and war at the grassroots level.  Know the truth and the truth will set you free.

With America the sole superpower left in the world, no nation will be free until Americans can create real democracy in their own country. That will in turn depend on their ability to break down the artificial divide between "left" and "right." The corporate media keeps the myth of the ongoing Civil War in America in the collective consciousness of US citizens, which keeps most of them from recognizing their common interests. Fortunately, Americans are waking up to the true nature of the threat to the prospect of democracy and coming together in the common cause of liberty and justice for all.

Given the devastating effects of a war-based economy on society and the Earth itself, we cannot give up on the political process. Just as assuming that war is inevitable is a self-fulfilling prophecy if it leads people to act accordingly, assuming that all politicians put the interests of the global elite over ours prevents us from forging a political consensus for peace by giving politicians credit when they do the right thing.

Those who think we will stop the imperial march in Syria need to realize it is just one battlefield in a much larger war. While it is as critical as ever to stop it, we must understand it in the context of the larger war for human freedom that we are all a part of, whether as "combatants" or as baffled civilians caught in the crossfire who do not yet realize we are at war for the survival of civilization itself. Those of us who choose to resist injustice are Soldiers For Peace. Since each of us issues our own marching orders, we must have the intelligence necessary to rationally plan the strategy and tactics we want to use. That means getting information from sources on the ground. Join us on Saturday, September 21 when our guest will be  human rights activist and journalist Siraj Davis, a Soldier For Peace who is a long time resident of Amman, Jordan. Like all Peoples in the region, Jordanians are playing a part in the grassroots resistance to the efforts of the corporate elite to enslave the Arab world (along with everyone else) in a permanent fascist New World Order. While we will be focused on Jordan, from there we will survey the entire battlefield, from Riyahd to Moscow to DC. Please join us in a conversation on how to build a united international front against fascism and war at the grassroots level. Know the truth and the truth will set us free.

If the endless debates about economics we hear in the news and read about in newpaper and magazine articles and columns seem confusing, it is because all of them are based on false premises. That is why none of the mainstream media "experts" are talking about the fact that the US and global economies are not just going through a down cycle but are in fact fundamentally broken. Historical comparisons are completely invalid. We are in a unique period where the financial geniuses who made out like bandits while crashing the economy and leving entire nations in their debt are out of tricks to hide the truth any longer. We are never going to see a return to what was always an unsustainable model of economic growth. Once this is clearly understood, it becomes obvious that we face a stark choice: submit to perpetual economic slavery or organize to effect a complete transformation of our socioeconomic model by transforming the political and economic assumptions on which it is based.

The hottest frontline of the battle is in beleagured Syria, which needs the support of Soldiers For Peace everywhere. A victory there is a triumph for all of us. Events in the last 48 hours provide evidence that the global democratic awakening has forced a change of plans of the global economic elite who have been pushing for a US attack on Syria based on a campaign of lies so blatant they make the set up for war in Iraq look sophisticated. On September 14 we discussed the role of Russia in reestablishing a balance of power that can give us the time we need to convince Obama to get on the right side of history, and whether he is trying to let us know that he is ready. Regardless of what the President is thinking, it is up to us to convince him that he must act now to free humanity from enslavement by the banks. They  are the ultimate war profiteers and have a death grip on the US and are intent on controlling the wealth of the world.

Far from being the final nail in the coffin of self-rule in the US and the world, it may be the best hope that Americans will finally wake up to the clear and present danger they face.

Conspiracy theories dominate the news, but few see that the only "conspiracies" talked about in the corporate media are ones they create, while those asking questions about the official story of 9/11 are labelled crackpots. Both cochairs of the 9/11 Commission have repudiated their own report. Americans should ask why the government and the media label people asking for a new investigation as "nuts." There are serious questions that demand answers. The attack was used to justify two wars, including one for which the government is known to have lied, including linking Sadaam Hussein to 9/11.

The Canadian system is often held up as an example, but the truth is obscured by carefully crafted disinformation campaigns. With the current dysfunctional system in the US barely functioning only because of massive taxpayer subsidies and cost shifting to the consumer. It is past time to have an honest discussion about what works and what doesn't in universal health care systems like Canada's. It is only one of many successful systems in the world that deliver universal care at about half the cost of the US system tht leaves over 50 million uninsured even after Obamacare has begun to take effect.

For the first time, most Americans were confronted with the reality of what the Patriot Act, NDAA and other "anti-terrorist" legislation added up to when coupled with the ability to spy on every American citizen in their every communication. It was easy for some to dismiss the idea of "Total Information Awareness" by their government as something they needn't worry about if they were doing nothing wrong, but knowing that anything did in private could be used against them made many finally look at the consequences of surrending our Fourth Amendment and other constitutional rights.

It is remarkable that as signs of plots within the government to support the aims of those who profit from the military-industrial complex grow more obvious, fewer Americans believe today that he was killed as the result of a conspiracy than 10 years ago, despite the fact that the House Select Committee on Assassinations ruled that it was in 1977. When the Obama administration refused to declassify an estimated 16,000 files on the JFK assassination 50 years after the fact, Americans need to question the need for secrecy. Understanding why and how Kennedy was killed is essential to understanding why Americans are having their rights stripped as America is turned into a police state and the rest of the world is under military and economic assault by the corporate powers that control the US government. On Taking Back America on August 5 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST, Jim Douglass, author of JFK and the Unspeakable, considered by many to be the most important book ever written about the assassination. While highlighting the most important evidence for how the conspiracy was carried out, it provides an explanation of why it was carried out by meticulously examining Kennedy's turn toward peace and how that threatened the corporate powers who had already gained power in every branch of government necessary to carry out the plot.

WITH PAUL ARMSTRONGThe War on Terror has been viewed by many as a "Crusade," to use a term George Bush did early on. This phrase has a very specific historical meaning that perhaps he did not appreciate. The Crusades were a series of bloody religious wars that in the end did not settle the question of whether Christianity or Islam would dominate in the world, which was the original goal. Are we fighting a Holy War? Many people in the West think so, but few have taken the time to study the religion in any depth. Like Christians, Muslims hold a wide variety of views on fundamental questions addressed in their holy literature. If we do not want to see our children live through a generation of endless and ultimately pointless war, it behooves us to learn to understand one another. Paul Armstrong is a Muslim convert in London who is very actively pursuing interfaith understanding and peace efforts. Co-Director of the Association of British Muslims and Director of Kilafah Online, he is a scholar of Christianity as well as Islam, so provides a unique insight into the relations between the two.  This show was rebroadcast on August 3 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST on the Star Com Radio network.

The Empire is striking back with whatever it can short of diplomacy. As their hopes to conquer Syria dim due to determined resistance, they are growing more desperate and their crimes more egregious.  Chemical weapons attacks, terrorist attacks on Kurds, the seige of Alleppo, Israeli aerial assaults, overt American arms funding and a buildup of American troops on the border with Jordan all seem to point to a last ditch effort to salvage the plan to establish a New Mideast under Anglo-American domination. What is the Empire's chance of success? Syria is the front line against expansion of the global corporate Empire that is seeking to create a permanent fascist New World Order. If they succeed, freedom and democracy will die everywhere and the only means of resistance will be violent. Such a world society would be the end of civilization as we know it. That is why the world must stand with Syria as it defends its sovereignty.

For the first time, most Americans were confronted with the reality of what the Patriot Act, NDAA and other "anti-terrorist" legislation added up to when coupled with the ability to spy on every American citizen in their every communication. It was easy for some to dismiss the idea of "Total Information Awareness" by their government as something they needn't worry about if they were doing nothing wrong, but knowing that anything did in private could be used against them made many finally look at the consequences of surrending our Fourth Amendment and other constitutional rights. Regular listeners will be glad to know that on Friday July 26, our resident intelligence expert Larl Eysenbach is back to explain to us how the surveillance society developed, what it means to us and what we can do to fight it.  This show was rebroadcast on July 27 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST on the Star Com Radio network.

The analysts can't seem to agree on the significance of the recent overthrow of Morsi, who is behind it and where the revolution is going. Is the US in control or the helpless victim of circumstance? Is the Saudi/ Qatari split widening and has Saudi Arabia declared it will not tolerate a Muslim Brotherhood dominate Mideast that the Empire may not be able to control?   We cannot promise answers but we will be sure to explore all angles of these questions and more about what could be a turning point in the war against democracy. On Saturday, July 20 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST we will return to our roots with a commercial free, call in format on Blogtalk.

They represented the bulk of Tea Party supporters both at the peak of that movement and at present. While most AFP members would identify themselves as "conservatives," they consider themselves independent. That seems to mean independent of the Republican Party leadership, which they regard as having sold out the principles of conservatism and in particular, libertarianism. On Wednesday, July 17 our guest on Taking Back America was Rob Taylor, of the Coos County (OR) AFP group. We talked about what conservatism, liberalism and  libertarianism is and where they might find common ground to forge the consensus necessary to Take Back America for the People.

Of the less than one out of four eligible Americans facing foreclosure who managed to get refinanced under the plan, hundreds of thousands have defaulted for a variety of reasons, many related to continued failures of reponsiblity of banks receiving HAMP funds. On July 13, our guests discussed the four year nightmare they have been living trying to get into the program, for which they are clearly qualified, We have all heard statistics about the millions of foreclosures resulting from the manipulations of the bankster industry, but listening to the personal story of an average couple who face foreclosure after years of fighting for their right to a loan modification under HAMP.

This provision gives the President and any future President the power to designate anyone an enemy combatant, subject to arrest and indefinite detention in military prisons without charge. Many Americans do not know about NDAA or the story behind it. Of those who do know about the provision, many are unconcerned, believing that the President would not abuse the power and being apparently unconcerned that they have no idea who may inherit it. Some refuse to believe that it is applicable to Americans, but the facts say otherwise. On June 14, our guest on Taking Back America was Shane Ozbun, State Team Leader of People Against the NDAA (PANDA) of Oregon. We talked about the story behind the NDAA, what it means for democracy in the US, how it relates to corporate control of the US government and how you can help PANDA be a part of Taking Back America for the People.

We talked about the Oath Keepers mission, the projects it is engaged in and why it is important for all Americans to understand that our police, military and elected officials take oaths to preserve and protect the consitution and the people of the United States, not the government. Until we come together to end the corruption of government by corporate money, we will not have a government of, by and for the People. When we do, we will have nothing to fear from it and we can decide through the democratic process how best to run it. Until then, we may need to be able to count on Oath Keepers.

It is important that Americans understand the political scene in Iran, how it developed and the hopeful signs that democracy might still be possible.  In order to avoid war with Iran we have to begin to think of other nations in terms of their people, not their governments. As Americans are beginning to understand, there is a wide gulf between the two. Only in a democracy does the government reflect the people. The US government has no business trying to impose democracy on other nations. To even encourage it, citizens have to first mold it into a democracy.  On May 18 our guest was Moji Agha, an Iranian-American bilingual poet and peace, human rights, and Earth activist. Trained as a cultural psychologist, he has founded many organizations and projects.  Moji's latest project is the Mossadegh Legacy Institute, a foundation established to honor the legacy of Iran's first democratically elected Prime Minister, who was overthrown in a CIA-engineered coup in 1953.

If we do not have the courage to speak the truth, JFK will have died for nothing and those who killed him will continue to control the US government. There are many unanswered questions about 9/11 that are dismissed as "paranoid" and evidence of "conspiracy theories," as if Iran-Contra, the set up in Iraq and other crimes of the US government were not. How many of those who think so realize that the House Select Committee on Assassinations stated JFK appeared to have been killed in a conspiracy that the Warren Commission did not investigate? Peace is not possible without democracy in the US. Democracy is not possible without transparency. We must not only be prepared to accept the truth; we must make others listen.

Although few favor the continued subsidization of these fat cat industries, they have so far been willing to accept this in part because too few understand that we have a real alternative. This is the result of a massive propaganda campaign funded by the same Big Oil and natural gas corporate executives whose multimillion dollar salaries depend on the continuing belief that converting to renewable energy is just too expensive. If Americans knew the truth they would demand that the US government divert a portion of  the billions of tax dollars given to these highly profitable industries to support technologies that would save money for every user of electricity while hedging our bets in the event that global climate change is human-caused. On Friday, May 10 Jon Roschke of Oregonians for Renewable Energy Progress (OREP) will join us to talk about the economic benefits of converting to consumer-owned renewable energy.

On April 23 our guest was Karl Eysenbach, political blogger for Salon.com as Old New Leftie. We talked about the underlying lessons of Boston that indicate the not-so-subtle shift of police power in the US as the War of Terror returns home for the first time since 9/11. We explored the possibility that the bombing could be used by the corporate powers-that-be to reinforce their control over the US populace in the highly profitable national security state, the implications of that to liberty and what we must do to create a more rational society that takes care of its own and can live in peace with its neighbors.

It is of course the next logical move in the game of Risk that the US and other NATO governments are playing on the world stage. All of humanity is descended from Africa. What an ironic statement of how low we have fallen that those who live in our ancestral homes are the most abused among us. Seen as nothing but a source of slaves by an Imperial Britain and a young United States, its recolonization in an age when slavery is supposed to be abolished should serve as a warning to us all.

That is not true. Many American Jews understand that a Zionist state cannot be democratic and stand with Palestinians, calling for justice for all.   Americans must understand that Zionism and American imperialism are the two excuses for terrorism and the "War on Terror" justifying war for corporate Empire.

Last week we discussed how international bankers seized control of the US government and military. The story is the story of war. On March 23 we continued the conversation. Starting with the aftermath of WWI, we will discuss the means by which the US dollar became the world's currency, setting the stage for world domination by international bankers.  Most of us know that bankers are among the biggest war profiteers, but far fewer realize that they are directly responsible for many wars throughout history and indirectly involved with the rest.  The largest banks have are interdependent and have extensive holdings in all the corporations that make up the military-industrial complex.  Karl Eysenbach is a political scientist, activist, self-educated economist and blogger on Open Salon as Old New Lefty. Please join us as we discuss how we can end the threat of a permanent fascist New World Order.

Others work hard to urge them to hold the banksters responsible for their crimes. What they are not being called on is their role in fostering endless war for profit. It is almost universally known that bankers are among the biggest war profiteers, but far fewer realize that they are directly responsible for many wars throughout history and indirectly involved with the rest.  In the past they financed wars for kings. Now they simply hold "democratic" governments as debt hostages and do what they want to influence domestic and foreign policy to their benefit.

While most Americans do not ask themselves why we are supporting conflicts in Libya and Syria while ignoring equally undemocratic and often brutal regimes in other countries.  The set up for war in Iran is not questioned in the corporate media, which begins with the assumption that the US has the right to impose murderous economic sanctions on Iran for a bomb that it has never been shown to be building, under the assumption that it is necessary to protect a US ally that has hundreds of nuclear weapons which are unmonitored by international agencies. In the past, when politicians were expected to justify military intervention, the quaint concept of the "just" war was developed. Pastor Mary Sue Evers talks about the just war theory and whether it applies to modern conflicts in a unipolar world where the US is the only superpower.

While everyone but war profiteers wants to see the end of war, few think it possible. They believe human nature makes violent conflict inevitable. Those who disagree have the task of convincing a critical mass of humanity that we can end war by an act of collective will that begins with accepting a few basic beliefs. Please listen to this exploration of the way that humans will have to alter their assumptions to make the end of war possible. You cannot imagine how to do something until you believe it possible. Then it is just a matter of figuring how to make the possible a reality. If you want to help promote the dialogue that can lead to a united international front against fascism and war, please tell others about this show, share the links to our podcasts and encourage them to believe that together we can create the Tectonic Paradigm Shift that will save human civilization from self-destruction.

Events have proven that this is a false promise from politicians of both parties. Most Americans have accepted for generations the claim that "What is good for business is good for America." While that may have been true to a degree in the past, it is time that Americans consider the question of whether what is good for banksters and other corporate powers that control the US government is good for America and especially for small American businesses. On January 3  I discussed this question with Lee Mercer, Executive Director of Main Street Alliance of Oregon, part of a national Main Street Alliance network. Main Street is a nonprofit giving voice to the millions of small businesspersons who are fighting an uphill battle in a system that favors multinational corporations and their monopolistic practices over small American businesses, which are the real backbone of the American economy.  This show was broadcast on January 26 on the Star Com Radio network.

One of the most important aspects of this closer look Americans are taking at Israel is  a long-overdo look at Zionism itself and whether it is possible to have a democracy in a Jewish state. The answer may determine whether peace is still possible in the Middle East and whether Israel itself can survive if it continues to isolate itself from world opinion. On December 29 our guest was Rich Forer, former AIPAC member and author of Breakthrough: Transforming Fear into Compassion-A New Perspective on the Israel-Palestine Conflict. Forer, who has ultra-Orthodox family living in Israel, recently completed a trip to Gaza and the West Bank.

Fear is used as a weapon against citizens who have learned to view every Muslim as a potential terrorist. The corporate media has further inflamed the hysteria by claiming that the US government has been infiltrated by individuals who want to impose Sharia law on all of us. What Americans in the grip of fear and unreasoning anger do not appreciate is that the trick of demonizing minority groups to divide citizens and divert them from the true danger in their midst is as old as war itself. They do not seem to realize that when the government comes for them, there will be no one left to speak for them. On December 12 our guest on Taking Back America was Laila Yaghi, who told us the story of her personal agony and that of her son, who was imprisoned for waht amounts to guilt by association. When you hear the details you will wonder to what extent you can trust the US government to ensure your civil rights. Until we can learn to see each other as fellow Americans and citizens of the world community, there is no hope for democracy in America or the world.

With 5 % of world population, it has 25% of the world's prisoners. This points to fundamental problems with the criminal justice system in the US.  With over 70 million Americans incarcerated, on probation or on parole, there is a serious problem with the way crime is defined and dealt with in the United States. The problem has become so bad that conservatives and liberals are joining forces to work together to find ways to reform the system.   No one can talk with more authority about injustices in the prison system than our guest on Taking Back America on December 9. Mary Ellen Digiacomo is with 4JusticeNow, the Florida chapter of The Action Committee for Women in Prison. She works with women who are often in prison as a result of the actions of their partners or because of defending themselves against abuse.  Mary Ellen can also speak from personal experience, having been convicted of violations of arcane regulations on selling shares in a company that was detroyed by state regulators in what appears to have been a witch hunt. After 5 years in prison, she is trying to rebuild her life while helping other women defend themselves against the abuses that she saw and experienced in prison.

Americans seem largely willing to continue to give up their freedoms for the illusion of security from a terrorist menace of their own government's creation. This would not have happened if they knew the truth behind 9/11 and all that has followed. Standing between the government and the People are the whistleblowers who have worked in government and who risk their careers, freedom and even their lives to get the truth out and hold government responsible for its actions. On December 8 our guest was  Coleen Rowley, FBI whistleblower and dedicated antiwar activist. We talked about the role of government whistleblowers in assuring the survival of the dream of democracy in America, and the efforts by those in control of the US government to prevent that at any costs. Bradley Manning is an American hero, as is Daniel Elsberg and countless men and women most Americans have never heard of. If they are to protect us, we must demand that they be protected. Otherwise, our children will continue to be sacrificed for corporate Empire and we will lose the chance to even know democracy in America or the world.

Illegal on its face, their are few champions in government who dare to oppose this latest tool of corporate Empire. Less well understood are the ramifications of the weaponization of space and the way that cyberspace and space-based information systems can be made to interact to monitor individuals around the globe in real time. Coupled with unchecked power of the US President to identify and eliminate enemies of the state, the stage is set for total global dominance of not only nations but any individuals willing to challenge the New World Order. On December 1 our guest was Bruce Gagnon, coordinator of Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space. We discussed these issues and more.

Rich Forer is an American Jew who learned to question what he had been taught about the Mideast conflict and research the facts on his own. What he found shocked him until he realized that the problem could only be understood by abandoning the us-vs-them mentality and viewing it with the understanding that all concerned are human beings first and members of nations or religions second. Those who want to help Israel need to know what Rich has made his mission to help them understand. We will discuss his book Breakthrough: Transforming Fear into Compassion- A New Perspective in the Israel-Palestine Conflict. Don't miss it!

There is such a consensus on the issue that Governor Romney and President Obama agreed with a policy that has been labelled illegal, immoral and ineffective by many. What most Americans do not appreciate is the fact that the number of drones flying over the US has grown at an alarming rate. Although unmanned planes can serve a good purpose in spotting forest fires, rescue operations and other situations, they are starting to be used for surveillance operations by federal, state and local law enforcement, to the concern of libertarians and other civil rights watchdogs.  Of particular concern is the fact that some law enforcement officials intend to use armed drones to carry out their work, raising the specter of bringing the drone war home to the US On November 26 our guest on Taking Back America was FBI whistleblower and antiwar activist Coleen Rowley.

However, when it cam to details, the corporate media and politicians argued that we cannot afford such a system. What neither Party admited was that they were unwilling to risk angering corporate backers in the medical-industrial complex, particularly the medical insurance industry that ended up virtually writing the legislation that brought them millions of new customers at taxpayers' expense. The result was a bailout of a medical insurance system that was on the brink of pricing itself out of existence. The only fact you need to understand why we have to have a universal health care system if we want any system at all is this: projections are that at current rates, the cost of a family medical plan will equal average family income by 2025. Our guest on Taking Back America on November 23 was Dr Mike Huntington, a member of Physicians for a National Health Program, Mad as Hell Doctors and Health Care for All Oregon.

The question is, what will they be left with? What is not being discussed is how this strategy is being used to protect corporate interests. At the same time that average Americans are seeing their wages drop, losing their jobs and homes and realizing that their children will have little chance of realizing the American dream, corporations responsible for these calamaties are bringing home record profits. On November 19 political and economic analyst Karl Eysenbach rejoined us to discuss how we have been driven toward a fiscal cliff and how we can change direction. This discussion will include an in-depth look at tax policies that are at the heart of the problem and what must be done to establish a fair system of taxation that works in the best interests of all Americans.

Recent events are being manipulated by these parties to demonize Hezbollah in the eyes of citizens of western nations.

In a democracy, it is up to We the People to tell our government what to do. If we cannot get past partisan bickering and come together to forge a consensus, our government will continue to ignore our real needs in favor of serving the corporate interests upon which their campaign financing depends.

If it were only the government enacting these changes, we might have had an entirely different history.  Instead, it was a right wing electorate empowering a first generation of opportunists, who were the grandparents of today's Tea Party and "Pay for Play" Conservative political machine. This cabal brought us the 30 years of intermittent warfare which has shaped the poitical map of today's world.  Now, with the reelection of Pres. Obama we have the opportunity to become renewed in our National Spirit and create a citizen based new governing paradigm. Our host Dr. Rick Staggenborg, will be attending a conference this week and his cohost Al Anderson will be moderating a lively and informative discussion of the AMAZING possibilities we have to make peace and create a holistic way of life as we lay the foundations of the next half century.

Only if we convince members of Congress that we want them to put the needs of America and Americans over the wishes of the corporate backers and rich individuals who paid for what have become obscenely expensive elections.  This will require Americans to find common ground on the most important issues of the moment. Libertarians and liberals have already identified several: reigning in or abolishing the Fed, election reform and ending foreign wars for corporate Empire. It is time to put blind ideology behind and work together to find practical solutions to problems that affect us all.

They realize that democracy in American is the only path to resolving issues that Congress will not address ranging from global warming to universal health care in the US, bank regulation and the financially, socially and morally insane policy of endless war in the name of "freedom." There are lessons to be learned from past movements in the US that can be applied to the problems that are stymieing efforts today. On November looked at the struggling efforts to build a movement that will address the central problem of the corruption of elections by special interest money, comparing it with other efforts to build unified movements. As usual, not only talked about the problems but the hopeful signs that we can learn to work together on our common cause, and how we might do that. In the end, ours is one struggle. When we learn to support all efforts and individuals working for social justice, the dream of Soldiers For Peace International will have become a reality.

They wonder if this modern form of Prohibition  is worth the costs of arresting, prosecuting and jailing millions of Americans when the economy is reeling. 17 states have legalized marijuana for medical purposes. Although the regulation of medicine is traditionally under state authority, the federal government has selectively taken over that power for political reasons. As states are beginning to push for full legalization, industries that profit from prohibition are likely to fight efforts at reform tooth and nail. On November 2nd,  Taking Back America discussed these issues with Jennifer Turner, who is part of a coalition working to legalize and tax the sale and use of marijuana in Oregon. We talked about the larger implications of the "war" on drugs and how it is affecting all of us in the US and in other countries devastated by that failing war.

Those who have seen our promos for SFPI Radio who don't know about Soldiers For Peace must wonder who we are. Even though we were plagued by technical difficulties, the many people who joined us in the chatroom felt the conversation was worth listening to. We hope you will too. This show is intended to questions such as why we believe that building an international front against fascism and war at the grassoots level is essential to defeating the international corporate terrorists who are diligently carrying out their plans for a permanent fascist New World Order under the noses of a confused American public that is footing the bill. Wherever you are in the world we hope that you will listen to this important conversation and become a recruiter for our virtual Army. Although by definition know one speaks for Soldiers For Peace International, I believe that real democracy in the world is the key to peace on the planet. That will require people in the US and around the world to demand an end to the corruption of their governments by the international economic elite that is playing Risk with us as the playing pieces, as part of their strategy to win the global game of Monopoly in which there can be no winner.

In our interconnected world, the solutions to the problems facing each of us can only be found by recognizing the effects of our actions on all of us. Democracy depends on the equaltiy of rights of all humans. In a political system dominated by the power of corporations and a global economic elite, the only hope for peace is to find a way to build democracy in the US and to help others do the same in their nations. No epitomizes that attitude better than Jessica Campbell, who became involved in local, national and international activism in high school, even serving on her local city council before graduation. In college, she made several trips to Palestine while organizing locally to raise awareness of Palestinian and other human rights issues.   Only one year out of college, Jessica now serves on the staff of Rural Organizing Project in Oregon after serving as a volunteer on the Board of Directors for 5 years. Her international perspective on local organizing can serve as a model for others struggling to help their communites cope with the perils of corporate-dominated globalization. Jessica was our guest on SFPI Radio on Saturday October 20.

WITH AL ANDERSONConspiracy theories are popular among those who understand that the American dream is becoming a nightmare. It is natural to wonder if there is collusion among these corporate elites to direct events behind the scenes to enable them to fool all of the People most of the time. After all, those in power benefit by deceiving us. Many Americans are openly stating that they believe there is a massive conspiracy by the global elite to impose a one-world socialist government on an unsuspecting people. Others maintain that there is a conspiracy to impose a permanent New World Order with power shared among the global elite, under the guise of a manufactured war on terror.  Both are ridiculed in the corporate media and their voices silenced by the power of government. If a conspiracy is defined as an effort by those in power to promote their own interests, there need not be a dark cabal of conspirators who are directing a plot for world domination. It is only a matter of shortsighted self-interest that is causing the economy to self-destruct while potential catastrophes are being ignored  in Congress. To evaluate these contending claims of conspiracy it is necessary to understand the nature of power in the US and internationally. On Friday October 19th on Taking Back America we discussed the nature of power in the world today, how it is being used to promote the interests of the few, and what we can do about it. This show will be rebroadcast on Saturday, October 20 at 12 pM CST on Star Com Radio network.   Take Back America for the People is an educational nonprofit whose mission is to reveal to the American public the true costs of corporate control of the US government. 01:01:00SFPI RadionoConspiracy theories,One world government,9-11 conspiracies,New World Order,Global game of RiskConspiracy theories are popular among those who understand that the American dream is becoming a nightmare.

Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Iran were among countries explicitly targeted by Project for a New American Century in a report released exactly one year before 9/11. If you are just catching on to this or if like many of us you have been struggling to put the picture together you will not listen to this show rrecorded on October 13. Our guest was Christof Lehmann, Danish human rights activist, psychologist, journalist and researcher on all things connected to the New World Order that is unfolding before our astonished eyes and unnoticed by the bewildered masses in the US. This show focused on the big picture of events in the Mideast as revealed by recent events in Syria, Turkey and elsewhere. We make the point that international corporate terrorists who have seized control of the US and other NATO governments are busy carrying out a plan laid out as early as 1996 but that is little known to Americans and many others.

The answer is to start by talking to each other and come to agreement on what we want our government to focus on. Only when we can achieve consensus on what we demand of our elected officials can we expect them to put our needs over the profits of their corporate backers. On October 8 Take Back America hosted Sarah Wilkinson of Project PeacePal whose nonprofit is promoting such dialogue not only within the US but across international borders, including war-torn regions. It is her vision that if children can learn to engage in constructive dialogue with others who look at the world from a different perspective, perhaps as adults they can use these relationships to build a world at peace. If you agree that modern warfare is not about freedom but about profits for international corporate elites with no loyalty to any nation or its people or any god but Greed, you will not want to miss this conversation.

It is hard to imagine what it is like to live through two invasions and to adapt to changing governments engaged in constant power struggles if you have not lived through it. On September 29 our guest on SFPI Radio was Dr Mohammad Kharoti, son of Afghan nomads who through amazing persistence, luck and the help of others became a surgeon and passionate advocate for education for all Afghanis. He sees this as the best hope for creating a democratic government in Afghanistan and peace in the region and in the world. Dr Khatori served as a surgeon for Mercy Corps during the Soviet invasion and has been involved at an international level with improving educational opportunities in his native country since just prior to the US invasion. With this background, he is uniquely qualified to help us understand the realities of recent Afghanistan history from a personal perspective. We will compare his experience of the realities of life in Afghanistan to the narrative popularized in the Western media with an eye toward understanding how we might best become part of a global democratic awakening that can free humanity from the scourge of war.

They are the CEOs of the corporations that ship jobs overseas that tanked the global economy by squeezing every penny of profit from the housing bubble before it burst, leaving taxpayers on the hook for trillions so banksters could keep their loot. The only way to fight systemic corruption in American government is organizing locally to demand candidates who believe in real American values of equality of opportunity for people, not a system that only rewards those with the money and influence to determine the outcome of elections at the state and federal levels. The solutions to the problems facing each of us in our local communities depends on recognizing how our actions affect all of us. As long as we focus only on the local level we will continue to lose the battle against powerful corporate interests who manipulate the US government for their own purposes. To win the battle for the soul of America we must come together at the local level to demand that our interests be put before those of corporate Puppetmasters of our government. On September 26 our guest was Jessica Campbell of the Rural Organizing Project, who talked about how they are working to do just this in Oregon.

Despite early technical glitches, it was quite a show. If you are one of those whose eyes glaze over when the talk turns to details of the economy, you will want to listen to Karl explain how the Euro crisis points out the basic faults of crony capitalism driven by phony financial instruments treated as commodities. The crisis demonstrates that our interests are so inter-related that a few cannot for long benefit at the expense of the many. Whether it is corporations destroying the environment, banksters crashing national economies or nations that want to be a part of an international corporate Empire conspiring to control the world through endless war, it somply cannot be done without in the end destroying human civilization itself. People are justifiably afraid of what might happen if the economic cataclysm that Europe is facing becomes a reality. However, if a system cannot sustain itself because it is inherently self-destructive, what emerges may be a much better one from those who have not been benefitting from the old. It is up to We the People of the various nations to stand up as one and demand that when the Euro crashes, this time it will be the banksters who suffer. There is wealth enough for all if we can create a system where work is valued over the mindless accumulation of wealth and power that has driven us to the edge of construction of a new world society where war is but a distant memory.

It turns out that much of the problem is with the assumption that endless growth is the only way to create jobs. It turns out that this is not only destructive to the environment but ultimately to the economy. Our guest on September 18 was Rob Dietz, former Executive Director of the Center for the Advancement of a Steady-State Economy (CASSE) and current editor of The Daly News, a project of CASSE.  This is a critically important cause that we can work on at the local level at the same time we promote it on a global level. The only way to make sure that our children live in a sustainable world is to opt out of the globalized economy that outsources jobs, is fueled by finite and increasingly expensive fossil oils and that primarily benefits multinational corporations that manufacture war for profit to seize the natural resources of other nations. Please listen and share how we can work together in our communities, nations and the world to ensure that our children inherit a world better than we found it.   This show will be rebroadcast on Saturday, September  22 at 10 AM CST on the Star Com Radio network.   Take Back America for the People is an educational nonprofit whose mission is to reveal to the American public the true costs of corporate control of the US government. 01:04:00SFPI RadionoRob Dietz,CASSE,Steady State economy,Daly News,Resisting globalizationIf you wonder how we can ever restore an economy devastated by bankers and the cost of war, the answer may surprise you.

It is easy to give in to cynicism, despair or even apathy in such circumstances, but we cannot afford to. Global climate change alone sets an upper limit on how long we can wait to save human civilization from self-destruction. We can no longer afford to hope for the spontaneous uprising envisioned by those who were inspired by Occupy. If we are going to find a way out of the danger we are in we have to start by acknowledging how frighteningly real the danger is. Then we must find a way to overcome our fears and outmoded assumptions and act. To organize the many disparate groups that are fighting each in their own way for their own causes, we must be bound by a common goal: The end of the ability of corporations to hijack government to serve their interests over those of We the Peoples of the Earth. On September 15 we talked about the obstacles to organizing a global democratic awakening and how we can overcome them to assure that our children live in a rational, sustainable future where war is but a distant memory. Our choice is clear: We will create a peaceful democratic revolution or watch the spontaneous rise of a doomed violent revolution when others have given up all hope of nonviolent resistance.

Many blame unreasonable teacher benefits and administrative waste, while others dispute these claims, citing skyrocketing health care costs, declining property tax revenues and other factors. On Thursday September 13 we will look at the facts of the issues with Susan Barrett, education reform advocate and co-founder the state chapter of Save Our Schools in Oregon. Whatever the reason that our children are receiving an education that falls far short of that their parents received we all have a responsibility to find a solution. Children are our future and education is a fundamental part of having an informed citizenry capable of telling our leaders how we want them to deal with this and the many other challenges Congress is not effectively addressing.

It is widely assumed that war is an inevitable consequence of conflict. Those of us who believe otherwise have the task of convincing others that peace is possible. That is why one of the most important things we can do to promote peace is to learn how to be at peace with ourselves and others. This enables us to more effectively persuade those with whom we may disagree that peace is possible if we believe that it is and work together to make it a reality. On Saturday September 8  our scheduled guest on SFPI Radio was Father Simon Harak, Director of Marquette University's Center for Peacemaking, a remarkable program working at the local and international level to promote dialogue toward achieving justice and peace in the world. The show did not come off as planned, so in the spirit of the original concept we spent two hours discussing the widely held concepts that lead the majority of people to accept the idea that it is not possible to end war. We focused on what we might do to free each other from this self-imposed restraints on our freedom to think and act and how this can lead to the Tectonic Paradigm Shift in human consciousness that will free our children from the threat of endless war. Please listen to and share this podcast so that others can benefit from the lessons we have learned from people like Father Simon.

Polls show a significant majority of Americans want out of Afghanistan. Most Americans have realized that invading Iraq was worse than doing nothing, as sectarian violence continues and millions of Iraquis remain displaced. Now there are calls for war with Iran. How does the military succeed at recruiting young people in this atmosphere? On August 31 on Take Back America, Rick Yahnkow of Project YANO explained modern military recruitment and why we should all be concerned. Unknown to most parents and the general public,  our children are being systematically indoctrinated to accept ideas that would make the Founders shudder. Widespread privacy violations are justified in the name of a highly questionable "national security" policy that puts our children on the frontline of a global war that serves only the corporate interest. Madison warned us that a standing Army would lead to the loss of our liberties. Now the war machine has grown to the point that it threatens citizens of the United States as much as it does those of nations targeted by a "war"on terror that serves as a convenient excuse to sacrifice our young to the cause of corporate Empire.

On August 25 our scheduled guests were Christof Lehmann, human rights activist and writer and Jim Fetzer, author and contributor to Veterans Today. They have studied the history of world conflicts for decades. They know the players, how they operate and what their past actions indicate about their present objectives. Lehmann was principle author of an important series on plans for global full spectrum dominance by a corporate elite, or what is commonly known as the New World Order. Technical difficulties prevented him from joining us, so co-author Fetzer carried the ball in this exploration of the evidence that the ideas put forth in the Project for a New American Century that began with the invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq are being continued. The NATO assaults on Libya, Syria and elsewhere are part of a larger plan that was revealed one year prior to 9/11 but which is unknown to most westerners. This episode lays it out in detail.

Many people have concluded that in reality it functions to provide the muscle required to expand and defend the corporate Empire that has sprung up after the US rose to dominate the world economically and militarily in the aftermath of that war. The reality is that most members of  the CIA have jobs more akin to civil service than that of James Bond and George Smiley. Understanding how the CIA works an how its mission has changed since its creation is essential to understanding international power politics and how we might most effectively intervene on a grassroots level to stop the imposition of a permanent fascist New World Order that would make economic slaves of all those who do not directly benefit from the work of the CIA on behalf of the international corporate terrorists who have seized control of the US government. Please join us on Saturday, August 11 at 8 AM PST/11 AM EST when our guest will be Karl Eysenbach, an expert on CIA based on his extensive research of open-source documents that few have the time to research on their own.

While DSM recognizes that it has a distinct psychological nature as well, few writings have characterized it as a "soul" wound. None have done so better than Dr Edward Tick, founder and Director of Soldier's Heart and author of War and the Soul. On August 6 we explored the traditional functions of war, how these functions are not served by modern war and the consequences to veterans, their families and society as a whole. Anyone who has served in combat or been touched by those who have knows that no one returns from war unchanged. It is up to us to help veterans find their way home and readjust to complete their transformation from soldier to warrior whose experiences add a valuable contribution to society. Only those who have seen war understand its true horror. We must honor these men and women by listening to them when they counsel us to avoid war at all cost but that of our freedom. As the crackdown on our civil liberties in the name of "fighting terror" has shown, that is the only way that to survive as a free people.

On Take Back America for the People on July 10, our guest was former Army Captain Paul K. Chappell, author of Will War End? and The End of War.

In different styles and in different ways, musicians from the Doors to Joan Baez to the Beatles painted a picture of a world gone mad and the type of world that we could create together if we share the same dream and the williingness to work to make that world a reality. On July 28 on SFPI Radio, our special guests were Anne Feeney and George Mann, two of my favorite folk singers and social justice advocates. George is also the producer of the great collection of songs Until You Come Home, which was created in reponse to the Welcome Home campaign to help returning veterans readjust and cope with PTSD. Folk music has a long history of being used to rally the People in common cause for justice. For over 25 years, Anne Feeney has been a singer-activist for the union movement, single payer and other causes that strike at the roots of corporate power. George Mann is a lifelong antiwar activist and singer whose work speaks to his dream that war can end if we choose to demand it. This show will be an exploration of how and why music can be such an important part of the effort to unify humanity in the cause of liberty and justice for all while their is still a chance to make that dream a reality.

On July 26, our guest was Reverend Jim Moos of the National Setting of the United Church of Christ. He is also the Executive Minister of UCC's Wider Church Ministries, a partner with the Disciples of Christ in Global Ministries, advocating for justice for all Peoples based on mutual respect and love. From the Congo to Palestine and right here in the US, Global Ministries is breaking down barriers between nations and religions to join all who are struggling for justice in their nations and in the world.

It is widely assumed that war is an inevitable consequence of conflict. That is why one of the most important things we can do to promote peace is to learn how to be at peace with ourselves and others. This enables us to more effectively persuade those with whom we may disagree that peace is possible if we believe that it is and work together to make it a reality. On July 25 our guest on Take Back America for the People was Father Simon Hirak, Director of Marquette University's Center for Peacemaking. This remarkable program works at the local and international level to promote dialogue toward achieving justice and peace in the world. From offering scholarships to the Mideast to symposia about conflict mediation and sponsoring visiting peacemakers, the Center for Peacemaking is educating students and others to take part in the worldwide movement to end war in our lifetime.

Various factions of CIA-supported terrorists continue to vie for control of Libyan resources that they can sell to NATO nations for a piece of the action. In the name of "fighting terror,"  the US-led NATO coalition is resonsible for this mass theft of the wealth owned by Libya's people in Gaddafi's Libya. Genocide of Black African workers, murder and rape  are the consequence of NATO's "humanitarian" intervention. The resistance refuses to let the dream of democracy die and fights on forjamahiriya and the Green Revolution that Gaddafi championed. On July 21 our guest was Libyan expatriate Nefeli-Alfitory, who has been living in Greece for four years and has been following events in her home country closely.

Thus, we hear a lot about "chemical imbalances" and "brain disorders" for which no scientific evidence exists. On July 14 we looked at the social factors contributing to the epidemic of psychiatric disorders in the US. This followed our popular May episode on the contribution of psychiatric drugs to the crisis.  Our guest was dissident psychiatrist Dr. Malika Burman. Dr Burman is an American born and educated but spent much of her early life in India, giving her a unique cross-cultural perspective on the insanity pervading society in the US. She runs a holistic psychiatric practice in Portland, Oregon that is a radical departure from the medical model of psychiatric practice she was taught. In the 70s there was a surge of interest in exploring the social determinants of psychiatric conditions. What was learned was quickly forgotten by most psychiatrists and much of the public when Prozac burst on the scene. That and other "newer-generation" drugs reignited hopes for magic bullets that would somehow correct chemical imbalances that were postulated to cause depression, anxiety, mania and psychosis.   We picked up where the mainstream media left off and focused on the solutions to be found within us and in our collective power.

During candidate Obama's 2008 campaign he pledged reform of the corrupt lobbying practices that have made Congress a tool of corporations and the wealthy rather than a body representing We the People. Whether from lack of will in the White House or the complacence of a Congress happy content to have their campaigns financed by deep-pocketed special interests, little has been done to curb the influence over Congress of the Jack Abramoffs of the world. On July 11, Take Back America for the People hosted former lobbyist Paul Winger, Board president of Abolish Corporate Personhood Now. We discussed the ways in which lobbyists influence legislation, the outsized power of corporate lobbyists compared to public interest nonprofits representing us and union lobbyists paid to represent working Americans. As usual, we discussed solutions. Much of the show focused on what we can do to end the corruption of the US government by paid lobbyists for all special interest groups that want to have Congress put their interests over those of ordinary Americans.

Brian was born on the Fourth of July to a father who was a racist member of the John Birch Society and a "Christian" fundamentalist.

We discussed the role of the drug war in the plans of the international corporate terrorists who control the US government to enslave us all in a fascist New World Order, then we talked about what we can do to end the wars. The drug "war" is supported by Americans who have no idea of the cost of the drug war to the American taxpayer, let alone its victims in nations around the world suffering from the depredations of the CIA and puppet governments from Afghanistan to Columbia and Honduras. In discussing real solutions to the problem, we connected the dots that show why this is a key issue in creating a united international front against fascism and war, with the key battle being to establish a democratic government in the US.

We will be talking about the  costs of free trade policies, focusing on the Trans-Pacific Free Trade Agreement. The costs of "free" trade range from loss of jobs shipped to cheap labor markets to weakening worker protection and environmental laws around the world to undermining the national sovereignty of the US and other nations whose governments make them signatories to the agreements. TPFTA is being in negotiated in secret by corporate interests with nations around the world. These talks are so secret that Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), chair of the Senate Trade subcommittee has been refused access to negotiation documents. These are issues that should alarm all Americans regardless of political philosophy.

After a career in broadcasting, Bob retired with a plan to just enjoy the rest of his life. Like many of us, he looked around and realized that he could not enjoy the good life while all around him he saw the suffering that resulted from corporate control of the US government, aided and abetted by a corporate media that worked in tandem with politicians to sell the lie that the American dream has become. Bob came out of a short-lived retirement with the idea of starting an alternative radio network. His goal is to provide unvarnished information to listeners hungering for it who realize they are not going to get it from media giants that offer only vanilla or chocolate versions of politics and the news. We discussed the rise of corporate a media that has increasingly become a propaganda industry that serves the interests of the same international corporate terrorists who have seized control of the US government. We talked about how this has affected political debate and has increasingly determined the outcome of elections. With the problem clearly framed,we spent the rest of the show discussing solutions to the problem of corporate media consolidation which include low power, unregulated stations and networks of small stations to internet based networks with the potential to challenge the dominance of corporate radio in influending the terms of public debate in the US and around the world.

Originally planned to take place in July in Washington DC, it remains to be seen when the original vision will be realized. However, the groundwork has been laid to create a "shadow" government answerable to the people who elect delegates rather than the corporations whose ability to pay for campaigns of members of Congress has undermined democracy in America. We discussed the vision behind the project and the ways in which the process of creating a representative body can influence decisions make in Washington. Democracy depends on  We the People finding common ground to solve the problems that affect us all. A forum like the Peoples Congress can provide us with the means to come together and have the discussions our elected officals will not.

Enjoy and share this wide-ranging discussion of many of the features of the global game of Risk being played out in the Muslim world. Connect the dots between our support of fundamentalist elements in the Arab  and US politicians use of the Patriot Act and NDAA to suppress dissent from those who oppose the aims of their corporate Puppetmasters.  Both are means by which they hope to control We the Peoples of nations around the world. We paint a clear outline of the war against humanity being waged in the name of "security." Susan is a former CIA asset with back door connections to several of the governments that have become victims of the treachery of their former allies in the CIA. Her experience makes clear why there is no time to waste in forming a united international front against fascism and war before a peaceful democratic Revolution in the US becomes impossible. We have nothing to fear but fear itself. If we know the truth and are willing to speak it freely, that truth will set us free. For more on Susan's work and the evidence she has revealed about the coverup of 9/11 and Iraq, read her book Extreme Prejudice.

We discussed the story of how the prewar intelligence and backdoor diplomatic efforts of Susan and her CIA handlers was ignored by the Cheney Adminstration in its mad rush to war. For those who have bought the government line about the 9/11 attacks this will be a sobering lesson. For those who know that we were lied to, the whole story will raise shock you. Susan is a lifelong antiwar activist who agreed to use her contacts with "enemy" governments in the hope that she could help broker an end to the crippling sanctions that were killing thousands of children in Iraq. Instead, she recieved an education on what can happen to truth tellers in the age of the Patriot Act. Find out what happened to her for trying to get the truth out after 9/11 in an effort to stop what she knew to be a war based on lies, then read the rest of the story in her remarkable book.

We discussed Leah's journey from career officer to career peace activist, her work for Veterans for Peace and the many projects VFP is engaged in to educate  the public about the costs of war, hold the US government accountable for its international war crimes, work for justice  for veterans and other victims of war and to abolish war as an instrument of national policy. Leah has had many fascinating experiences in her work for VFP, including being arrested with some of the mostnotable antiwar activists in the US. Having been at the center of the action for years, her new position at a time of revolutionary change assures that she will play an important role in the newly resurgent antiwar movement. We also heard from Vietnam War veteran Paul Winger about his campaign for the Arizona legislature and his plans to use the public financing to focus on his pledge to amend the constitution to ban all special interest money from elections. Establishing democracy in the US is the first step to crushing the corporatocracy and ending war in the world.

The issue of whether Americans will be educated enough to be responsible world citizens is clearly one that concerns everyone. Democracy depends on an informed citizenry. The wealthy seem determined to destroy public education iin the US through slashing funding for public schools, privatization, demonization of teachers and a general devaluing of education, other than as an incentive to youth to fight war for corporate Empire. Susan is a founding member of Save Our Schools in Oregon. SOS is a grassroots campaign that started in response to dramatic cuts in an already underfunded school system in Oregon. She explained to us the role of ALEC in privatization, the co-opting of a nonprofit that was started to advocate for education and is now working to gut schools and promote substandard for-profit schools and other largely untold stories from the education wars. If you believe that our children have a right to the same educational opportunities that we had, please join us and let's talk about how to make it happen.

Bob has made a career out of investigating and exposing abuse and exploitation of psychiatric patients by psychiatrists and the pharmaceutical industry, respectively. We also looked at the social determinants of the expression of biologically-based mental illness and the far more common problem of psychological disturbances that are entirely or mostly caused by social stressors that only We  the People can eliminate by changing the political systems in America and around the world. Whitaker makes the case that the rise in the incidence of various mental "illnesses" is laregly the result of overdiagnosis, the promotion of drug treatment of normal varients in psychological functioning and an overreliance on often ineffective, frequently dangerous and generally unnecessary drugs to treat conditions that are more safely and effectively treated with psychotherapy. I  argue that this is an attempt to cover up the true costs of asociety that is dominated by transnational corporations with no concern about the human costs of their quest for dominance not only of markets but power to control our lives. We discussed a model of treatment of psychological disorders that focuses on the strengths of the patient in a program of psychotherapy to overcome symptoms of ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders and even schizophrenia.     SFPI Radio is the international talk show designed to allow those struggling for social justice around the world to talk to each other about how we can support efforts to promote justice, democracy and peace in every nation. 02:10:00SFPI RadionoBob Whitaker,Anatomy of an Epidemic,Mad in America,MindFreedom International,Myth of Mental IllnessOn April 21 our guest was Bob Whitaker, author of Mad in America and Anatomy of an Epidemic.

Prior to the Iraq invasion, Susan was working to end the devastating sanctions and avoid war when she ran afoul of the Cheney regime and its plans to use the false-flag attack on the World Trade Center to justify launching its war of terror for corporate Empire. Her book Extreme Prejudice describes her treatment at the hands of a ruthless government program of repression under the Patriot Act. We discussed how NDAA takes the next step toward Soviet style repression by removing the right to trial for accused enemies of the State. She presented tantalizing hints of why we should suspect a possible false-flag operation in the Persian Gulf. We did not cover everything we had hoped, but focused on the manner in which our constitutional rights are being systematically dismantled. This is necessary groundwork to understand the big picture of the game of Risk the international corporate terrorists that control the US government are playing with our lives. Make sure to tune in on June 9th for more on that topic. The show will be devoted to exploring the pattern in US foreign policy that paints a fascinating picture of the collective mind of the psychopaths who have led us down this path of self-destruction.   SFPI Radio is the international talk show designed to allow those struggling for social justice around the world to talk to each other about how we can support efforts to promote justice, democracy and peace in every nation. 02:05:00SFPI RadionoSusan Lindauer,Extreme Prejudice,Lebanon Syria,False flag Iran Iraq 9 11,World RevolutionOn May 5, former CIA asset Susan Lindauer rejoined us on SFPI Radio to discuss how the US government is creating the infrastructure of a police state to silencehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/sfpiradio/2012/04/29/global-marijuana-march-with-jim-greig-take-iiPoliticshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/sfpiradio/2012/04/29/global-marijuana-march-with-jim-greig-take-ii/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/sfpiradio/2012/04/29/global-marijuana-march-with-jim-greig-take-iiSun, 29 Apr 2012 16:00:00 GMTGLOBAL MARIJUANA MARCH WITH JIM GREIG TAKE IIDue to technical difficulties in our April 21 show we had a special episode on Sunday April 29 to get it on before the Global Marijuana March taking place around the world on May 5. The show featuredJim Greig, disabled champion of the rights of medical marijuana patients. We had experts and activists for legalization call in from Oregon and California who talked about their work. The show highlighted the importance of  the upcoming Global Marijuana March for the causes of personal liberty and building a united international front against fascism and war. The politicization of the question of what we put into our own bodies has led to the destruction of millions of lives around the world in a senseless and losing drug war. While the profits from this like all wars keep the cycle going,  the power of people united around the world in protest can help bring it to an end. This will not be an appeal to tune in, turn on and then drop out. This will be another opportunity to show how liberals, conservatives and libertarians can work together in common cause for liberty and justice for all.

On April 28 we addressed this issue with pastor Paul Bern, a social justice advocate and supporter of Occupy and workers rights. With over 80% of Americans claiming a belief in God, doubters need to understand that we cannot finish the American Revolution without enlisting the faithful to our cause.

Frank has been a very active advocate for single payer health care as a fellow member of Physicians for a National Health Program and its Oregon group of Mad as Hell Doctors. Mad as Hell Doctors is currently forming a coalition of health care reform advocates to wage a Vermont-style campaign to convince the public that health care is a human right.  To find out more about MAHD and how you can help, go to our website: http://madashelldoctors.com/ We explored the reasons why we must have a single payer system if any ordinary American is to have access to health care in the next 5-10 years. We also discussed why the recent "health care" "reform" debate was merely a cover for a bailout of a failed private medical insurance industry kept alive only with massive infusions of taxpayer money as it continues to inevitably fail. Dr Erickson understands better than most how the fight for single payer hinges on ending the corporate corruption of Congress and the Presidency. We will discuss how we might accomplish that through the Pledge to Amend project to make support for a strong constitutional amendment to get special interest money out of politics.

He is a brillliant and largely self-taught expert on the ills of society, how they result from the foibles of humans and how we can promote a Tectonic Paradigm Shift in human consciousness.  In exploring the roots of psychopathy we develop a deeper understanding of how normal humans can be made willing agents of a fascist agenda if they can be convinced that they have no choice but to either follow the dictates of authoritarian leaders, to fight among themselves for power or to give up on the political process altogether: http://www.soldiersforpeaceinternational.org/2012/03/escape-from-freedom.html Turner understands that the many threats to human civilization and the planet itself require us each to do our part to raise awareness that the only way that we can leave our children a world fit to inhabit is to free ourselves from the grip of the divisive slave mentality that has kept us from uniting and throwing off our shackles. As with other Soldiers For Peace, his goal is to foster the general acceptance that our mutual interedepence requires us to set aside artificial distinctions that divide us from each other.  That is how we build a united international front against fascism and war at the grassroots level.

We addressed some of the thorny questions about the taboo subject of religion by exploring its philosophical underpinnings. In looking at the variety of assumptions that underly the conflicts between various religions and between deism, atheism and agnosticism, we uncovered some of the reasons that this is such a divisive topic. Understanding the differences in these assumptions led us to a clearer understanding of why our conclusions differ on this and many other issues. More importantly, in discussing these differences we found areas of common understanding that strengthen our sense of the need to put such differences aside in the interest of assuring that our children may live in a world without war. This is a crucial issue because these differences have hampered the effort to create a unified international front against fascism and war that is the aim of Soldiers For Peace International. The philosophy of explanation is Peterson's attempt to address age-old questions about whether something that we might call God exists and what that might be if one adopts the Objectivist philosophy championed by Ayn Rand. Neither an atheist nor a Deist, Peterson takes the position that if one defines God by objective criteria, its existence must be provable by direct observation and experience.

He lived through the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and its continuation through the Reform and the ongoing Green Movements.  To understand how the Iranian people have been led to the precipice by a self-interested theocracy that abuses religion and nationalism, listen to this extraordinary show and share it with your friends. It provides a deeper understanding of the realities that citizens throughout the region face and the painful "realities" that keep the Peoples of the region from coming together in the interests of all. We re-examine the artificially created religious, cultural and nationalistic distinctions that keep us divided and unable to struggle together against the hegemonic forces that are threatening to destroy human civilization.   We must keep hope alive and as Mohammad forgave those who tried to destroy the Islamic movement in its infancy, we must be magnanimous in victory when our forces of peace and light prevail over the forces of violence and darkness. Lasting peace will come only when we can forgive each other. If the dream of democracy in Iran, Israel Palestine and the entire world is to be realized, it will depend on a generation prepared to live in peace with its former enemies.

Victoria is the editor of Votescam.org and an expert on the subversion of democracy through vote fraud an manipulation and a leadingproponent of electoral reform: http://www.votescam.org/ Unfortunately, Victoria was unable to join us. In typical fashion, we started by discussing the main topic and callers took us into many related areas ranging from amending the constitution as a means to get back on the path to democracy to the idea of signing on to the International Criminal Court if Congress itself is so complicit in violations of human rights that it will not police itself.   We were lucky enough to be joined by two self-identified conservatives. This gave us the chance to discuss our divergent world views in an effort to see how we can work together to establish a more perfect world society and save human civilization from certain self-destruction. Join us next week to talk about how we can effectively stage a counterrevolution that will end fascism in America and establish a true government of, by and for all the People for the first time in history.

It actually means "leaderless," a point that needs to be understood to recognize the value of anarchical efforts like Occupy and Soldiers For Peace International. Anarchy is nothing more than a pure form of democracy where people take care of people and help them achieve self-sufficiency rather than depending on government to meet their needs. We cannot advance the cause of democracy in America if its citizens do not share a common language. We have to help each other understand that our goals are the same: Freedom from big government controlled by corporate interests. We can only do that by helping each other achieve freedom from an economy that depends on debt slavery to maintain control over the population. Whether you choose to label yourself as conservative, liberal or independent that is a goal we can all get behind. While we work to destroy corporate rule in America we can and must prepare for the self-sustainable economy with which we must replace our self-centered and self-destructive one.   SFPI Radio is the international talk show designed to allow those struggling for social justice around the world to talk to each other about how we can support efforts to promote justice, democracy and peace in every nation. 02:02:00SFPI RadionoWarren Weissman,Eugene Mutual Aid Society,Anarchical Warfare,Occupy Everywhere,Soldiers For Peace InternationalOn Saturday February 4 our guest was Warren Weisman, one of the founding members of the Eugene Mutual Aid Society in  Oregon: http://www.eugenemutualaidsociety.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sfpiradio/2012/01/28/democracy-in-pakistan-with-dr-humayun-mohmadPoliticshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/sfpiradio/2012/01/28/democracy-in-pakistan-with-dr-humayun-mohmad/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/sfpiradio/2012/01/28/democracy-in-pakistan-with-dr-humayun-mohmadSat, 28 Jan 2012 16:00:00 GMTDEMOCRACY IN PAKISTAN WITH DR.

Government transparency is an essential element of any democracy. Until we have a full accounting of the crimes against the American people committed by those in power, democracy is not possible.

She tried to get their superiors, members of Congress and the Bush adminstration to act on the opportunity to avoid war with Iran prior to the false-flag attack on the World trade Center. She is the author of Extreme Prejudice: The Terrifying Story of the Patriot Act and the Cover Ups of 9/11 and Iraq:  http://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Prejudice-Terrifying-Story-Patriot/dp/1453642757 In it she describes how she became the victim of a conspiracy to silence her because of what she knew about the coverup of intelligence that could have prevented a war with Iraq,  the distortion and falsification of evidence that 9/11 was abetted if not conducted by US assets and other things the US government would prefer that its citizens not know. She was detained secretly and illegally at a military base under provisions of the Patriot Act until freed by the determination of her uncle, who sought aid from of all people federal Judge Michael Mukasey, who later became Bush's Attorney Geberal after Gonzales resigned in disgrace.

We explored the topic of communal societies that do not depend on a central power source for their sustainable technology or for governance. This is consistent with Jefferson's agrarian society that could not be co-opted by indutrialists who influence governments for their own benefit. Earth Tribe started in Zambia, where founder John Kreidler took a community from poverty and starvation to being well-fed with a small income virtually overnight by the introduction of a plant that rapidly produced an edible and sellable crop. We talked briefly about the dark side of NGOs that have been co-opted by a US government working in the interests of international corporate terrorists who profit from the continuing misery of the Peoples of Africa, often with the complicity of their own governments. Mostof the show focused on how each of us can work locally, nationally and internationally to create the Tectonic Paradigm Shift in human consciousness needed to create a united international front against fascism and war to save human civilization from self-destruction Listen and learn how John overcame severe obstacles to establish his farmin Kentucky.

We focused on how they can and must challenge the two-Party corporate duopoly.

We discussed lessons learned from Occupy Portland, it's role in the Occupy Movement and how other occupations can go from rhetoric to action by passing resolutions in GA calling for a constitutional amendment to abolish corporate personhood. It is time to respond to critics on both the Left and Right that the Occupy movement has no central demand.

If you are one of the 99 percenters who believe that peace in the Mideast is impossible,  you may change your mind by the end of this podcast. Rich is an American Jew who grew up a reflexive supporter of the Israeli government, as were most of his Jewish friends. After the second Lebanon invasion he briefly became a member of AIPAC. His eyes were opened when a Jewish friend persuaded him to look at the side of the story not told by religious conservatives, the Israeli government or the corporate media in the US. Telling the true history of the creation of Israel and the occupation of Palestine, Forer approaches these uncomfortable topics by citing primarily Jewish sources, including many Israelis who served in the military and the Israeli government, Rich hopes to get American Jews and Christians to take an objective look at the real history of the conflict and at where Israel's true security interests lie.   Forer also describes his personal transformation by  letting go of an identity that was sharply circumscribed by his conditioned belief in what it means to be a Jew. He describes an exhilarating sense of liberation when he abandoned this notion of separateness from the rest of humanity. His story if thus about how he became a Soldier For Peace in the full sense of the term.   SFPI Radio is the international talk show designed to allow those struggling for social justice around the world to talk to each other about how we can support efforts to promote justice, democracy and peace throughout the world.

Our guest was Rob Dietz, Executive Director of the Center for the Advancement of a Steady-State Economy (CASSE). More information on the topic can be found on the CASSE website: http://steadystate.org/ This was a great introduction to a cause that we can work on at the local level at the same time we promote it on a global level. The only way to make sure that our children live in a sustainable world is to opt out of the globalized economy that is fueled by fossil oils for the profit of the international corporate terrorists who manufacture war for profit to seize the natural resources of other nations.

Lisa Willis Groves joined us to explain how a minor dispute led to a mayor, the local district attorney and others stonewalling her attempts at justice. She won the state's  Jefferson award for her community service to veterans who had been unable to get the help they need from the government. We talked about how the state police of West Virginia, the US Attorney's offce for the region, the FBI and the Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Justice all turned a blind eye to the return of Jim Crow justice in the rural south. Lisa is an inspirational example of the power of love motivating a Soldier For Peace to fight on behalf not only of her brothers and sisters in arms but for the sake of all people everywhere and most importantly, for our children.

The technique has a wide variety of other applications, such as treating phobias, helping achieve weight loss, performance enhancement and other areas. The technique is one of several such therapies thought to depend on realigning hypothetical  energy fields by which intent to change is translated into change at the biochemical and neurological levels, ie rewiring the brain. Marilyn and her colleagues are looking for research subjects suffering from combat-induced PTSD who can be treated anywhere in the world on the wordwide web. These treatments are free. After discussing this revolutionary treatment of PTSD we discussed combat and rape-induced PTSD, its relationship to the ongoing wars and how we can help veterans and other victims of war to recover and become functioning members of society.

Our guest had some technical difficulties and did not call in until 40 minutes into the show but had some great input. OHSU medical student Allen Andrews is an active member of the student chapter of Physicians for a National Health Program in Portland, Oregon. He also heads a film project that illuminates the problems that only a single payer system will address. Technical difficulties caused dead air early in the second hour. Check out the following to hear just how deep we got into the conversation and call in to SFPI Radio live on the worldwide internet in coming weeks to tell us what YOU think. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr once stated that of all injustices, injustice in health care is the most shocking. Only a fascist nation would deny health care to all citizens. The United States is unique among industrialized western countries in allowing health care to be treated as a commodity. The fascist nature of the American government was made plain during the bailout of the medical insurance industry under the guise of "health care reform." The only path to single payer is to end corporate control of the US government, which is also the way to end war.   SFPI Radio is the international talk show designed to allow those struggling for social justice around the world to talk to each other about how we can support efforts to promote justice, democracy and peace throughout the world. 01:22:00SFPI RadionoPeace movement,Consciousness raising,Politics Health Care reform Tea Party,Government reform single payer Move to Amend PNHP,Democracy fascism liberal conservativeOn Saturday, July 30 we discussed  the means to create a single payer, Medicare-for-All system of universal health care in the United States.

They now produce films and shows telling the stories of whistleblowers. Julia wasn't able to participate but BJ shared the details of their experience with the government's attempt at silencing them. We explored other work in the whistleblower community and talked about the importance of the work these courageous men and women are doing.

Together we explored the means by which the US government and corporate media act togeher to manipulate public opinion to serve the corporate interests of their Puppemasters. Dr Bonn has developed a comprehensive theory of how fear-based propaganda campaigns are used to create mythic images of dangerous enemies of the State that are used as a pretext for stripping Americans of their civil liberties and creating a rush to war when it serves to promote corporate wealth and Empire.
