Interviews Andrew Holocek on reverse meditation
https://resources.soundstrue.com/podcast/andrew-holecek-reverse-meditation/
Your mindfulness practice worked! You calmed your mind and felt the deep, inner bliss that meditation brings. But, asks Andrew Holecek, what do you do with these beatific states when your world is falling apart? Where’s your meditation practice then?
In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Holecek about his new book, Reverse Meditation, and how we can move toward a more complete spirituality that welcomes all of our experience. Illuminating the four steps of reverse meditation and much more, their conversation explores: how pain and hardship can accelerate the spiritual journey; why mindfulness “sedates but doesn’t liberate”; the cultivation of “industrial-strength” meditation; repairing an adverse relationship to unwanted experiences; the practice of open awareness; bringing the unconscious into the light of consciousness; investigating our personal “super-contractors” such as anger, fear, or anxiety; shifting from reactivity to responsiveness; the OBEY acronym of reverse meditation: observe, be, examine, yoke; three attitudes for practice: kindness, patience, and curiosity; establishing the right view; the anti-complaint meditation; and productive thinking.
Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests. Learn more at join.soundstrue.com.

Dave Emory
Interviews Lucy Kommisar about Navalny (episode 1299)
https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr1299-interview-with-lucy-komisar-about-navalny/
Supported by characteristically selective coverage by Western journalistic and political elements, Alexei
Navalny has demonstrated proto-fascistic tendencies and is more of a propaganda phenomenon than a
real political leader.
In this program, we present Lucy’s analysis of the Navalny documentary, including her thoughts
concerning possible intelligence connections to the documentary’s production and a quasi-McCarthyite
response to her probing questions.

deadly conditions.

Covert Action Bulletin
A recent Washington Post article titled “A North Korean defector captivated U.S. media. Some question
her story” highlights the many appearances Yeonmi Park has made on right-wing news outlets over the
past few years. Scholars and solidarity activists have been pointing out the serious holes in Park’s stories
since she started getting attention. But even the Post has pushed her propaganda, running an op-ed by
her in 2014 that they admit was co-written with a fellow at the Koch-founded right-wing Atlas Network,
calling for a capitalist counterrevolution in the country. Park is part of a long tradition of outright U.S.
lies about North Korea, which it is still at war with.
To get deeper into the history, hosts Rachel Hu and Chris Garaffa are joined by Derek Ford. He’s an
author, visiting professor at Korea University in Tokyo, and organizer with the Global Peace forum on
Korea. He also led the last delegation of U.S. citizens to the DPRK before the travel ban.
Rachel Hu is a journalist with “BreakThrough News,” a new independent media project, where she hosts
the podcast “It’s Not You, It’s Capitalism.” She is also a host on WBAI 99.5FM in NYC and has been an
anti-war and anti-racist activist with the ANSWER Coalition for the last decade. Rachel can be reached
at: rachel@wbai.org.
Chris Garaffa has been an anti-imperialist and social justice organizer since joining the movement
against the Iraq war in 2003. Chris is a weekly guest on Sputnik Radio’s “By Any Means Necessary,” and
co-hosts the podcast “The Reboot,” focusing on the intersection between technology and human rights.
