For the Record with David Emory #1325
In his first new episode after a hiatus, Dave returns to legal "Chokeholds" in the JFK assassination with a two-part interview, FTR 1325 and 1326. These programs continue the presentation of the legal concept of “Chokeholds” on the JFK assassination–dynamics that prove, legally, that there was a conspiracy.
These do not necessarily resonate precisely with aspects of the historical record, which embraces, but does not delineate, principles of law.
In these broadcasts, Jim DiEugenio, Paul Bleau and Mr. Emory are joined by Matt Crumpton, one of the contributors to the book, a lawyer and author of a brilliant chapter of the volume dealing with the Oswald impersonators.
We conclude the first broadcast with a tribute to the recently-deceased Cyril Wecht and Dr. William F. Pepper (who proved in court a conspiracy in the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.).
KPFK is in our summer on-air membership and funding drive, and will again be offering David Emory's flash drive with dozens of hours of earlier conversations and interviews with Jim DiEugenio about the making of Oliver Stone's JFK, and that also has the 25-hour series on Destiny Betrayed, Jim's book. It's a thank-you gift for a pledge of $100 to support For the Record, Something's Happening, and KPFK.

Bio Char - Ancient Solution to Modern Environmental Problems
Bio char is an ancient solution to current climate and waste concerns; to modern problems in indigenous communities in Alaska
Jeff Hallowell is a former Silicon Valley engineer whose life journey took him to India where he studied ways to process human waste using BioChar, returning it to the soil.
Upon his return to the US he found many of the same problems in Alaska, where villages like Kivalina, facing poverty, lack of infrastructure, and climate change, may soon have to move. The orange goo you see along Kivalina's shores speaks volumes about temperature, industrial pollution, algae, human waste, and global heating, Jeff Hallowell, Bio Char engineer asks, If you're not part of the solution, are you part of the problem?

KPFK is starting our summer on air membership and funding drive, and we're going to be asking you to step up on behalf of Something's Happening, to help keep this program and this station on the air. The Foundation determined that it needed to sell the building that housed KPFK and the Pacifica Radio Archives in order to cover accumulated debt and "aged payables," overdue unpaid bills, which necessitated that KPFK move. We have had to cover the expenses of the move, which were supposed to come from the proceeds of the sale, but the close of escrow has been delayed and we must continue to cover those expenses including rent for the new location, from current revenues. This on-air drive is critical to doing so.

Behind the News with Doug Henwood of the Left Business Observer
Aziz Rana, author of The Constitutional Bind: How Americans Came to Idolize a Document that Fails Them, on how our founding document constrains democracy but we worship it anyway.
Info about the book here: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/C/bo208177761.html
Some worry that the Federal Constitution is ill-equipped to respond to mounting democratic threats and may even exacerbate the worst features of US politics. Yet for as long as anyone can remember, the Constitution has occupied a quasi-mythical status in US political culture, which ties ideals of liberty and equality to assumptions about the inherent goodness of the text’s design. The Constitutional Bind explores how a flawed document came to be so glorified and how this has impacted life in the US.
In a path-breaking retelling of the "American experience", Aziz Rana shows that today’s reverential constitutional culture is a distinctively 20th-century phenomenon. Rana connects this widespread idolization to another relatively recent development: the rise of US global dominance. Ultimately, such veneration has had far-reaching consequences: despite offering a unifying language of reform, it has also unleashed an interventionist national security state abroad while undermining the possibility of deeper change at home.
Revealing how the current constitutional order was forged over the twentieth century, The Constitutional Bind also sheds light on an array of movement activists—in Black, Indigenous, feminist, labor, and immigrant politics—who struggled to imagine different constitutional horizons. As time passed, these voices of opposition were excised from memory. Today, they offer essential insights.

Mickey's first guest is historian Peter Kuznick, who evaluates some of the conflicts taking place in the world (Ukraine, Middle East, South China Sea),
and finds a common thread in the abandonment of diplomacy by U.S. officials and some of their European allies. And he warns of the increasing danger that one of these conflicts (especially Ukraine) could escalate into a nuclear war.
Then press-freedom advocate Seth Stern returns to the show to explain the PRESS Act, a reporter-shield bill that has already passed the House unanimously and is awaiting action in the Senate. If enacted, it would protect journalists from being compelled to disclose confidential sources. Stern explains the details of the legislation, and cites cases of why it's needed.
Peter Kuznick is Professor of History at American University in Washington DC, and director of AU's Nuclear Studies Institute. He's also the co-author of "The Untold History of the United States." Seth Stern is Director of Advocacy at the Freedom of the Press Foundation (www.freedom.press)
