Leonard Peltier – Prayer Vigil for his Parole in San Francisco
With Tony Gonzales of the American Indian Movement West
For the first time in 15 years, Leonard Peltier had a full parole hearing on Monday, June 10, at the United States Penitentiary at Coleman, FL. The decision whether he will be free will be rendered by mid July 2024.
Peltier is Turtle Mountain Ojibwe. He has been incarcerated for 48 years for the alleged killing of two FBI agents at Oglala on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in June 1975. For five decades, Peltier has maintained his innocence and hoped for the chance to clear his name.
Peltier had a controversial trial marred by falsified testimony, and fabricated evidence. And criticism of the trial even came from judges involved in the case.

Shortwave Radio News Report from Dan Roberts
This week's show features stories from RADIO DEUTSCHE-WELLE, FRANCE 24, and RADIO HAVANA CUBA.
From GERMANY- Julian Assange has been released from a high-security prison in England, made to plead guilty to a single count of espionage, and returned home to Australia. Jameel Jaffer is the executive director of the Knight's First Amendment Institute, at Columbia University. He describes the deal that Julian had to agree to for his release. Jameel points out that the ruling will be used as a precedent in cases where a government wants to punish journalists for revealing information that they wish to keep secret- something reporters do frequently.
From FRANCE- There is a proposal for a 2% minimum tax that would apply to about 3000 of the world's richest people- the purpose is to balance out the fact that a great many of the wealthiest pay zero or close to zero in taxes because of shell companies and untaxed corporate stocks. France is facing snap elections for Parliament this week and next which will determine the Prime Minister who will serve under President Macron- according to latest polls the far-right National Rally is expected to win. Valerie deKamp discusses the environmental threat of a far-right victory in the current election.
From CUBA- The aid group Save The Children released statistics about the plight of Palestinian children under siege in Gaza from Israel. Israel is using internationally banned white phosphorous as a weapon in Lebanon, supplied by the US. UN Secretary-General Guterres spoke out against Israel expanding its war into Lebanon, as it could precipitate a much larger regional war.

2:00 AM
Project Censored
In a plea bargain with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, the Justice Department ended its effort to extradite him to the US for an Espionage Act trial, and Assange, freed from Britain's Belmarsh Prison to appear in a US court in colonized Micronesia, returned home to Australia a free man.
The Assange legal case is over, but what are the ongoing implications for press freedom? We hear from Kevin Gosztola, the reporter who covered the Assange case for its entire duration.
Then Mickey speaks with the three authors (also Project Censored staffers) of a new article on social media, the efforts of government and Big Tech to control or censor it (often without users' knowledge), and the countermeasures employed by online communities to maintain communications. And how might social media influence the 2024 election?
Kevin Gosztola's book on the Assange case, "Guilty of Journalism," was published in 2023. Gosztola is also the editor of the Dissenter newsletter, www.thedissenter.org.
Kate Horgan is Website Design & Media Assistant at Project Censored. Reagan Haynie is Social-Media Manager at Project Censored. Shealeigh Voitl is Digital & Print Editor at Project Censored. Their article, "Navigating the Digital Democracy," appears in the June/July issue of the Progressive magazine, and can be found online at www.Progressive.org

3:00 AM

Free the Truth: Julian Assange & The Politics Behind the Persecution & Prosecution,
The Use of the Espionage Act to Chill Dissent and Exposure of US War Crimes
Yan Gil, Venezuelan Foreign Minister speaks about supporting Bolivarian Venezuelan Sovereignty vs. US Interdictions and Sanctions in Latin America in Opposition to Self-Determination.

4-6:00 AM
The Thom Hartmann Program

We're back to Thom all four nights unless there is a substantial upswell in requests to bring back MOATS, the Mother of All Talk Shows with George Galloway.
There was a mixed response, more negative than positive among the few who did respond, and the one month trial run did not seem to improve or increase the audience or the financial support for Something's Happening
The Thom Hartmann program, like MOATS, is on a delayed broadcast from July 1, so you can't call in at this time. Hartmann will be on live taking calls at 9:00 AM
