Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (August 26) is up at the website http://www.outfarpress.com/shortwave.shtml in 3 forms- (new) HIGHEST QUALITY (128kb)(27MB), broadcast quality (16MB), and quickdownload or streaming form (6MB) (28:59) Links at page bottom
(If you have access to Audioport there is a highest quality version posted up there {27MB} http://www.audioport.org/index.php?op=producer-info&uid=904&nav=&)
This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, Radio Havana Cuba, the Voice of Russia, and NHK World Radio Japan..
From GERMANY- Some European economists say that if the 17 Eurozone nations were to pool their finances, it would be in much better shape than the US. In Libya the rebels seems to have united many different tribes on the way to Tripoli- there is a question as to how well they will all get along once a new government begins to form.
From CUBA- It turns out that US and NATO forces had key roles in the Libyan rebels push into Tripoli- and they were aided by covert forces from France, Britain, and some East European countries. A massive national strike in Chile has united trade union workers with the students who have been protesting for weeks. The Foreign Ministers from the Union of South American Nations have gathered in Argentina to find ways to mitigate the impact of the global financial disaster. Bolivian Assembly Socialist members voted to expel the US Agency for International Development for conspiring against the local government.
From RUSSIA- An analysis of the protests taking place at the White House to demand that President Obama put an end to the proposed tar sands oil pipeline from Alberta Canada to oil refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas- which many say is the largest "carbon bomb" in North America.
From JAPAN- Prime Minister Kan says that he and his cabinet will resign next week if his bill on renewable energy passes through the Diet. The Japanese government has a plan to reduce the radiation level in Fukushima Prefecture by 50% within 2 years. Three quarters of the nuclear reactors in Japan are now out of service. NHK produced a daily segment last week on the various types of renewable energy being successfully used around the planet. This segment covers the use of a combination of solar panels and hydroelectric generators in Laos.

I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available at http://radio.mediageek.net
All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to rebroadcast, please notify me if you're airing it and haven't notified me in the last month, please mention the website if you only air a portion. If you just want to listen and have a slow connection, try the streaming version- lower sound quality but good enough and way easier if you don't have a high-speed internet connection. If streaming is a problem because of your slow connection, download the smaller file- it takes 20 minutes or less, and will play swell in any mp3 player application (RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime, iTunes, etc) you have on your computer.
NEW TIME SLOT on KZYX! This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm (PDST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via < http://www.kzyx.org >
There are several other streams that work better- < http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this program on Friday at 9:00am.(PDST)
NEWLY CORRECTED!!! The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from < feed://radio.indymedia.org/en/podcast?keys=shortwave++
I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I am still wondering how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I put into this program weekly- any ideas are appreciated. Any stations rebroadcasting this (or listeners) are welcome to donate for production costs. You can do so through the website. Many thanks to those that have donated! No Guilt! (maybe a little)

--"I am worried that students will take their obedient place in society and look to become successful cogs in the wheel - let the wheel spin them around as it wants without taking a look at what they're doing. I'm concerned that students not become passive acceptors of the official doctrine that's handed down to them from the White House, the media, textbooks, teachers and preachers.”

Had the information that galvanised the Libyan tribal elders been a legitimately obtained truth, it would be the centerpiece of public debate in that country by now - however it is not, and it does not even require the regional context of the euro crisis to make the Libyan insurrection appear as an uninspired proxy conflict centered around a blind spot of awareness for independence and autonomy, within which Gaddafi can place his revealing statements, among a people much more gullible to the theatrics of renegade officials assimilated by foreign regimes than those of Egypt. Which real-time disinformation is it that was too "top secret" to stand public scrutiny but still able to change the stance of these people? If it is relevant, then why is it not being made public? If there are personality rights to respect there, why weren´t they respected in the first place? The Egyptians will have to consider which "intelligence" Mubarak had been given just before he made his decisive move, and the same goes for Ben Ali, or in the case of Libya the side with the closest links to international plagiarist networks. If these tribal elders do not explain the true cause of their decision, like these who brought it to them, this will be the congenital defect of any new Libya - only questioning the current leader, but not the principle of leadership.
The development of data networks makes a lot of energy traffic obsolete, and enhances the process of energy networks making a lot of cargo traffic obsolete. By eliminating the redundancies in it, traffic capacities can be reduced, and the same supply be achieved with less highways, pipelines, or power lines destroying the lands. If pumped power stations in their size mimic atomic power stations, not only is an ancient mountain forever wasted, it also requires a lot of power lines which can be largely avoided with decentralised capacities exchanging only the share that does not fit for local circuits. Nothing could be more absurd than if the poison bulb in the desk lamp at the German chancellery was powered by solar panels in the Libyan desert connected through pumped power in the mountains of Norway. The Enlightenment of the too big to fail is a task which has even brought the euro currency into historical crisis, to an extent which continues to redefine the relationship of banks and regimes. As the European public is learning that banks are not omnipotent, but actually hostages to their security firms who again are hostages to regime secret police, the politicians there who caused the mess face an even more precarious situation requiring them to explain their decisions and the data they were based on than these in Libya, regardless whether they continue until the European central bank is paved to make room for another useless runway, or they resign before they entirely make themselves a fiscal laughing stock for the rest of the world.
To: Dan Roberts. - At 20:38, I suppose "nuclear" was meant to be "renewable."
