Where’s Nuremberg
Introduction: Experimenting on human beings without their knowledge and/or consent is forbidden by the Nuremburg code. Nonetheless, the U.S. national security establishment has been doing just that as a matter of course in the years since World War II.
Having imported many of Nazi Germany’s and Imperial Japan’s war criminals, the U.S. was on track to institutionalize experimenting on unwitting human subjects by the end of the Second World War.
This program documents some of the experiments and the programs which gave rise to such operations:
Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: CIA researched the occult in what Hank Albarelli speculates may have been a research project inspired by the Nazi Ahnenerbe; The agency researched various ways of causing cancer and the effects of various levels of stress on those suffering from the disease; Both the CIA and the Army researched the effects of radiation on human beings in a variety of clandestine experiments; The CIA’s “Human Ecology” research projects embraced a wide variety of experimental projects designed to learn how to control and modify human behavior; Vermont-based doctor Robert Hyde was among the premier researchers to test LSD on human subjects, some in projects the details of which have not been fully disclosed.

Final Straw radio
Sister station KPFA is in fund drive mode, so no Its Going Down until further notice. Instead, here’s an episode of Final Straw radio about the Stop Cop City struggle.
This week, featuring an interview with Matt Scott of the Atlanta Community Press Collective to update us on the movement to Stop Cop City in light of the recent indictment of 61 people on Racketeering charges by the state of Georgia at the end of August and the legal shenanigans of the city to block a public referendum on the police training center that would destroy the south Atlanta forest and river. We'll also hear about recent non-violent civil disobedience, and the call for a mass action on November 13, 2023 (with a multi-city info-tour in the buildup).
Anarchist Radio Berlin prepared an interview on the upcoming No Border Camp in Groningen (NL). Between the 21st and the 27th of august the fifth edition of the Dutch No Border Camp took place in Groningen. We spoke with one of the organizers about the camp and the situation for people on the move in the Dutch-occupied territories.
Then, you’ll hear a segment by anarchist prisoner, Sean Swain on alien abductions.
The Final Straw is a weekly anarchist and anti-authoritarian radio show bringing you voices and ideas from struggle around the world. Since 2010, we’ve been broadcasting from occupied Tsalagi land in Southern Appalachia (Asheville, NC). We also frequently feature commentary (serious and humorous) by anarchist prisoner, Sean Swain.

On July 26, former President Mohamad Bazoum was removed from power by a military general, Tchiani. This has set off a wave of condemnation and threats of military intervention from the U.S. and France, for whom Bazoum had proved to be a reliable ally. Thousands have rallied to support Niger’s new leadership since July 26, reportedly carrying banners reading ”Down with France” and “Foreign bases out”. The U.S. has about 1,100 troops in Niger and France has about 1,500. The new government in Niger has announced it will stop French extraction of gold and uranium. France relies heavily on nuclear power generators, and 75% of the fuel comes from Niger; all of France’s gold reserves have also come from its (former) colonies in Africa, including Niger.
Rather than analyze the reasons behind abject poverty and anti-Western sentiment in Niger and much of the region, Western countries led by the U.S. and France are pointing to Russian interest in the region while purposely ignoring their own neocolonial history. To understand the situation in Niger and how it impacts the rest of the African continent, and the greater geopolitical landscape, we’re joined by Eugene Puryear, an author, activist and host of The Freedom Side on Breakthrough News.
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.

Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz responding to questions from Nick Estes about the Green Corn Rebellion
This is the last of three programs on the Indigenous People's History of the US. On October 11, 2017 Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz gave a talk at the Lannan Foundation in Santa Fe New Mexico. In this last segment Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz makes inspiring comments on two questions asked by Nick Estes. He is member of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, and doctoral candidate at the University of New Mexico.
First she remembers the forgotten history of the Green Corn Rebellion in Oklahoma. When Woodrow Wilson declared war in 1917 the poor tenant farmers in Oklahoma forged a coalition of Whites, African Americans and Indians. They were united by the recognition that the family would starve if they lost their sons. Under leadership of the Seminole Indians they wrote a manifesto, created a liberated zone by blowing up bridges and tried to embark on an anti-war march through the South with the goal to establish a socialist commonwealth. Their movement was betrayed by an informer and mostly white militia members confronted them and ended the uprising.
This program ends with a moving argument that the tending of corn and most vegetables that are know today by peoples in the Western Hemisphere had created extraordinary civilizations from Terra de Fuego to the Subarctic. They were on par with the other - more famous - civilizations in the Middle East as well as China. European Colonialism appropriated these already existing civilizations, shoved the people aside, and then privatized the wealth.
Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz is not only professor emerita of ethnic studies with a focus on history but has also been part of the International Indigenous movement for more than four decades. Along with groups such as the International Indian Treaty Council she advocated up to the level of the United Nations for indigenous sovereignty and land rights.
She is the author of many books including Roots of Resistance, The Great Sioux Nation, and An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States. Another recent book is Loaded: A Disarming History of the Second Amendment - published by City Lights.
Thanks to the Lannan Foundation for permission to use the audio from the pod-cast they produced. It was recorded in Santa Fe on October 11, 2017. You can find the pod-cast or film at their web site lannan.org/

Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz responding to questions from Nick Estes about the Green Corn Rebellion
This is the last of three programs on the Indigenous People's History of the US. On October 11, 2017 Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz gave a talk at the Lannan Foundation in Santa Fe New Mexico. In this last segment Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz makes inspiring comments on two questions asked by Nick Estes. He is member of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, and doctoral candidate at the University of New Mexico.
First she remembers the forgotten history of the Green Corn Rebellion in Oklahoma. When Woodrow Wilson declared war in 1917 the poor tenant farmers in Oklahoma forged a coalition of Whites, African Americans and Indians. They were united by the recognition that the family would starve if they lost their sons. Under leadership of the Seminole Indians they wrote a manifesto, created a liberated zone by blowing up bridges and tried to embark on an anti-war march through the South with the goal to establish a socialist commonwealth. Their movement was betrayed by an informer and mostly white militia members confronted them and ended the uprising.
This program ends with a moving argument that the tending of corn and most vegetables that are know today by peoples in the Western Hemisphere had created extraordinary civilizations from Terra de Fuego to the Subarctic. They were on par with the other - more famous - civilizations in the Middle East as well as China. European Colonialism appropriated these already existing civilizations, shoved the people aside, and then privatized the wealth.
Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz is not only professor emerita of ethnic studies with a focus on history but has also been part of the International Indigenous movement for more than four decades. Along with groups such as the International Indian Treaty Council she advocated up to the level of the United Nations for indigenous sovereignty and land rights.
She is the author of many books including Roots of Resistance, The Great Sioux Nation, and An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States. Another recent book is Loaded: A Disarming History of the Second Amendment - published by City Lights.
Thanks to the Lannan Foundation for permission to use the audio from the pod-cast they produced. It was recorded in Santa Fe on October 11, 2017. You can find the pod-cast or film at their web site lannan.org/

Tami Simon – Sounds True Insights from the Edge: Matt Guttman – Dealing with a Lifetime of Panic Attacks
https://resources.soundstrue.com/podcast/matt-gutman-conquering-a-lifetime-of-panic-attacks/
28% of Americans will experience a panic attack in their lifetime. Some researchers say that number is closer to 50%. Renowned ABC News correspondent, Matt Gutman, never felt afraid when assigned to active and dangerous war zones. Yet when he had to speak on live television in front of a viewership of 9 million people, the seemingly unflappable reporter suffered intense panic attacks that nearly cost him his job. To help anyone whose life has been impacted by this often misunderstood mental health challenge, Gutman shares his personal journey in No Time to Panic.
In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Gutman about the book and the hard-won insights he brings his readers, exploring: The importance of destigmatizing panic attack disorder; conventional and alternative healing modalities; “retiring the drill sergeant” (aka managing the inner critic); excavating unresolved grief; how panic disorder can metastasize into other psychological issues; physical threats vs. social threats (and how we tolerate them); the evolutionary purpose of anxiety; how vulnerability is often the first step toward healing; the paradox of welcoming your panic; psychedelics and ego transcendence; the power of mindfulness and meditation; and more.
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.
Matt Gutman is ABC News’s chief national correspondent. A multi-award-winning reporter, Gutman contributes regularly to ”World News Tonight with David Muir,” ”20/20,” ”Good Morning America,” and ”Nightline.” He has reported from fifty countries across the globe and is the author of “The Boys in the Cave: Deep Inside the Impossible Rescue in Thailand.” He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children.

The Magical Mystery Tour: The science of consciousness and communication after death
With Tonio Epstein
Daniel Drasin is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, photographer and media producer. Since the early 1990s, he has been actively investigating the field of afterlife communication through traditional mental and physical mediumship as well as modern electronics, which are thoroughly documented in his two full length documentary films Scole: The Afterlife Experiment, and Calling Earth. His new book is A New Science of the Afterlife: Space, Time & the Consciousness Code. All of which demonstrate lots of solid irrefutable evidence of communication and physical manifestation from the other side, or the afterlife, as hard as that might be to believe. For many, this will be truly mind bending stuff, and challenging everything many have been brought up and or educated to believe. We also talk about skepticism and science.
The Magical Mystery Tour is a show that dives into the heart of things exploring new ideas and new ways of seeing and being in this wondrous crazy world we share together. New shows are available weekly by Monday. Feel free to contact me at 802-229-5123 or tonio@together.net

Dave Emory – “How Groovy Was It Really?” FTR #1307
Introduction: Exploring aspects of the “counter-culture” of the 1960’s against the background of the CIA and military’s experimentation with mind-altering substances and various mind-control techniques, this program asks the question: “Was it really good?”
Key Points of Analysis and Discussion Include:
1.–Details concerning SPAN, the operational code-name for the dosing with LSD of the entire town of Pont St.-Esprit in Southern France.
2.–The story of William Hayward, the director of the ’60s cult film Easy Rider. Hayward was the victim of psychiatric confinement by elements associated with the intelligence community.
3.–The monitoring of Ken Kesey’s LSD events by members of the intelligence community.
4.–Former OSS agent Gregory Bateson’s stewardship of the introduction of Ken Kesey to LSD.
5.–Sourcing for the information about the Bateson/Kesey dynamic and discussion of CIA and military experiments with mind-altering substances at the University of Vermont.
6.–CIA operative George Hunter White’s surreptitious dosing of unwitting subjects with LSD.
7.–George Hunter White’s arrest of jazz singer Billie Holiday for opium possession in 1949. Drug arrests destroyed Holiday’s ability to work in establishments that served alcohol.
8.–The story of a San Francisco event featuring the cream of the psychedelic bands of the time. The event benefitted the Hare Krishna cult.
9.–Discussion of the fascist philosophy of the leader of the Hare Krishna cult.
10.–The biography of John Perry Barlow, former campaign manager for Dick Cheney and lyricist for the Grateful Dead. Barlow’s role with the EFF, an organization with many worthy members and reputation but one which, nonetheless, has worked for the intelligence community.
11.–Barlow’s interaction with the CIA and NSA and an examination of the possibility of his stewardship of social media.

Just days later, Senator Marco Rubio sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding an investigation into Code Pink, the Tricontinental Institute for Social Research, Dongsheng and others named in the article.
While they differ on tactics or on domestic social issues, both wings of the mainstream establishment in the U.S. are united in their effort to prevent China from becoming a world power and threatening the imperialist order.

Scholars’ Circle – Peaceful uses of Nuclear power and why arms control fails humanity – September 10, 2023
https://scholarscircle.org/scholars-circle-peaceful-uses-of-nuclear-power-and-why-arms-control-fails-humanity-september-10-2023/
We explore a new book on the supposedly peaceful uses of nuclear power: The Wretched Atom by Jacob Hamblin.
Jacob Hamblin is Professor of History at Oregon State University. His books include Poison in the Well: Radioactive Waste in the Oceans at the Dawn of the Nuclear Age, Oceanographers and the Cold War, Arming Mother Nature: The Birth of Catastrophic Environmentalism and his latest The Wretched Atom: America’s Global Gamble with Peaceful Nuclear Technology.
Then, why arms control discourses are centered around western notions of modernity and civilization. What does it mean to decolonize the language around arms control?
Ritu Mathur is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and Geography at the University of Texas at San Antonio. She is the author of Civilizational Discourses in Weapons Control.

Chile & 9/11 focuses on the AFL-CIO’s “American Institute for Free Labor Development” (AIFLD), one of four US-government-funded labor institutes created during the Cold War, that channeled millions of dollars to right-wing unions and political parties opposed to Allende’s socialist agenda.

Mike Ruppert, The Lifeboat Hour
http://www.grinningplanet.com/mp3-news/special/michael-ruppert-death-memorial-download-mp3s.htm
Marking the anniversary of the launch of the endless war (on “terror”) that is still continuing in new forms , we present a deeper episode from Michael C. Ruppert, who exposed US government complicity with cocaine and other drug dealing, the likelihood that the US knew about and allowed 9-11-2001 to happen, and the subsequent machinations around peak oil and environmental devastation caused by the profit seeking forces he characterized as TPTB -The Powers That Be. Here he looks at the roots of Warrior Culture and its consequences for the planet.
Ruppert on Warrior Culture, Collapse, and The Garden — Mike Ruppert discusses the need to dismantle the warrior culture. The evidence from pre-historical societies shows that violent domination is not inherent in human behavior—it has been learned, and it can be unlearned. He also talks about Daniel Quinn's Ishmael, which reveals a culture that is killing the world around it. Of note, he relates the parable of an ever-consuming Adam, first outgrowing the garden, then the region, until he finally consumes the entire earth, and then.... Ruppert finishes up with a review of what's GOOD about peak oil and collapse. (1:04)

Dr. Gladys McGarey: Activating Our Life Force with Love (1:04)
At the ripe young age of 102, physician, author, and great-great-grandmother Dr. Gladys McGarey maintains an active consulting practice and in 2023 published her most recent book, The Well-Lived Life. Widely considered the mother of holistic medicine, Dr. Gladys is a cofounder of the American Holistic Medical Association who for more than 60 years has influenced the way we view health, healing, and self-care.
In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Dr. Gladys about her remarkable life—including where she finds “the juice” that fuels her ongoing accomplishments—sharing invaluable insights into keeping life alive as we grow older; offering our light to those who need it; the art of contacting the physician within the patient; coming back to health through “the trickle around the dam”; trusting your inner knowing; how everything in life is a teacher; love as the essence of healing; overcoming fear; the choice to be glad; the five Ls—life, love, laughter, labor, and listening—and how they intersect; reincarnation and karma; Dr. Gladys’s vision of “a village for living medicine”; and more.

Experiences and Last Words at the Threshold of Dying - An Interview w Linguist Lisa Smart (:59)
In this interview with linguist and educator Lisa Smartt, author of Words At The Threshold - What We Say As We're Nearing Death, we talk about the strange, often paradoxical and intriguing language used by the dying to express what they are experiencing in the last moments of their lives. And the mysterious nature of death that they seem to be pointing to. We also talk about how to be present with our loved ones as they are dying and to listen with an open heart and an open mind to the often strange things they are saying. And that this is a wonderful opportunity to deeply connect with them in ways they may not have been possible before.

ASTRO*ANARCHY & TAROT (:58)
Caroline welcome Sara Calvarese, astro anarchist ally, sharing enthusos for: “The US’ Pluto Return and the upcoming outer planet astrology (Pluto moving into Aquarius, Neptune moving into Aries, and Uranus moving into Gemini). And am always willing to have a good discussion about the 8th house.”
“…a South Philadelphia based author, illustrator, astrologer, tarot reader, and owner of The 8th House, a brick and mortar retail space. She left her career in chemistry and engineering in 2020 to pursue full time creative work. Her projects to date include: The 8th House Tarot: An Astrological Tarot Deck, Prism Tarot, Mundane Magick Tarot, Stories: A Collaborative Oracle Deck, and Magick (IRL), an interactive tarot and astrology book.” (Re-connected by her anarchist publishing house pm press….Send me more occult anarchists!)
It turns out I did a reading for Sara, 7-ish years ago, so all jolly – re-connecting. She says, ”You’re probably the single biggest influencer of my astrology practice, so I have a lot to thank you for! Your work is always on my “recommended reading/listening” list for folks.” Yip-Yip! Her Latest is “Turning Terrestrial Tides Tarot”
From PM Press – Sara Calvarese: “We’re in turbulent times. The US is experiencing its first Pluto Return, and Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all set to move into new zodiac signs in the near future. The astrology suggests that we’re collectively standing on the precipice of a major shift here on Earth.” So, how do we use this astrological energy of change to our advantage? The 78 tarot archetypes invite us to self-reflect and entertain curiosity around designing our future within our larger communities. During these times of intense transformation, tarot can act as both a mirror and an anchor for personal empowerment, reminding us that we write our tomorrow. This DIY quality is reflected in the Turning Terrestrial Tides Tarot artwork. The travel-friendly, poker-sized deck was created in the approachable cut-and-paste collage style of 90s zines and includes the astrological linkages to each tarot archetype as well as words to reflect on, both on the cards and within the included mini guidebook. Look for Sara Calvarese on PMPress.org

Dave Emory – For the Record #1304 Albert Hofmann, the Nazis and the CIA
https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr1304-albert-hofmann-the-nazis-and-the-cia/
Transformed into something of an icon during the “Psychedelic Era” of the 1960’s, Sandoz’s Albert Hofmann’s political affiliations are fundamentally different from his “Peace and Love” persona minted during that time. The reality of that time is fundamentally different from the surviving cultural and political narrative. This program sets forth disturbing facts about Hofmann, his relationship with the CIA and the Sandoz firm’s activities in World War II.
“. . . . In the same interview [Gordon] Wasson said that Albert Hofmann ‘worked in some way with the CIA’ and that Hoffman’s ‘discoveries were imparted in whole by Sandoz to the U.S. government. Sandoz wanted to be on the right side of things.’ Hofmann’s connection to the CIA has never been officially confirmed by the CIA, which maintains a policy of not commenting on or revealing information on foreign citizens who find their way into its employment. Former agency officials have commented anonymously that several Sandoz scientists and officials, including Hofmann, maintained a close relationship with the CIA, but the ‘Agency never fully trusted the Swiss’ and ‘always held a dual insurance policy with Sandoz’ by vetting and placing covert employees within the firm’s laboratories and administration. . . .”
Elements of Discussion and Analysis Include: The World War II indictment of Sandoz for collaborating with Nazi Germany; Hofmann’s work for the CIA; the presence of U.S. biological warfare personnel in France at the time of the disastrous Pont St.-Esprit ergot/LSD outbreak; Hofmann’s presence in Pont St.-Esprit in the immediate aftermath of the outbreak; Hofmann’s misrepresentation of the cause of the outbreak, attributing it to the use of a mercury compound used to preserve seeds: ” . . . . ‘The mass poisoning in the southern France city of Pont-St. Esprit in the year 1951, which many have attributed to ergot-containing bread, actually had nothing to do with ergotism. It rather involved poisoning by an organic mercury compound that was utilized for disinfecting seeds]’ . . . .”; Hofmann’s discussion with doctors investigating the outbreak in the immediate aftermath of the event–a discussion in which the mercury poisoning theory was dismissed: ” . . . .The doctors at the meeting agreed that mercury poisoning was not evident in any manner, specially because of the persistent lack of kidney or liver damage. . . .”; an account of the Pont St.-Esprit outbreak.

Covert Action Bulletin: Will BRICS Break the US World Order?
After their closely-watched 15th summit, the core member nations of BRICS --Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa -- have accepted six new members: Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who will become members on January 1, 2024. More than a dozen other countries have applied for membership.
But what is BRICS? As the world trends from a unipolar hierarchy led by the United States, to a multipolar reality with nations like Russia and China playing key political and economic roles challenging the reach of the West’s sphere of influence, we investigate what this grouping is, perhaps more importantly what it isn’t, and how the U.S. empire is reacting. We’re joined by Amanda Yee, host of Radio Free Amanda.
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.

She describes herself and her service as follows: “I’m the author of three death lit books: Cultivating the Doula Heart: Essentials of Compassionate Care (a guidebook), Map of Memory Lane (a picture book), and The Death Doula’s Guide to Living Fully and Dying Prepared (an interactive workbook).
“I’m a researcher with the Vermont Conversation Lab, and I was the original developer of the end-of-life doula training programs at the University of Vermont. My goal is to encourage people to hold one another’s hands through life’s intensities. I live in rural Vermont with my family in a most beloved village.

Sounds True with Tami Simon – Insights at the Edge
David Spiegel: Self-Hypnosis for Well-Being (58:59)
https://resources.soundstrue.com/podcast/david-spiegel-self-hypnosis-for-well-being/
The practice of hypnosis is considered by many people within and outside of the medical profession to be useless, dangerous, or both. Yet studies are showing how hypnosis offers us a reliable, remarkably powerful therapeutic tool for managing pain and stress, changing unwanted habits, improving sleep, and overcoming a broad range of health challenges.
In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with author and psychiatrist Dr. David Spiegel to separate the facts from the fiction, exploring: hypnosis as a naturally occurring state of highly focused attention; letting go of our usual preconceptions about ourselves; cognitive flexibility (not “suggestibility”); Dionysians, Apollonians, and Odysseans—three categories of hypnotizability; the Spiegel eye-roll technique; a guided experience of self-hypnosis for stress and anxiety; hypnosis vs. meditation; respecting and protecting your body; focusing on what you’re for instead of what you’re against; and a case example using self-hypnosis to heal trauma and dissociation (please note: this example occurs at 39:10–41:03 and includes a reference to sexual assault).
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.

DREAM NEWS
https://coyotenetworknews.com/radio-show/
Dream News! Tis a description and an exhortation (and title of just now and more soon council)
Caroline hosts Tom Cheetham, “a rogue scholar of the imagination in esoteric Islam interweaving the planes of the real into his continuous and wonderfully whacked-out song.” – Joseph Donahue, author of (many books, including) “Imaginal Love – The meanings of Imagination in Henry Corbin and James Hillman”
Ancestor Ally Mentors, the likes of Hillman, Henri Corbin, and Jung excavated and crafted keys which they are now handing to us. So let’s put the keys in the locks, and tease erudition into pertinent practice, the world being on fire, and all..
Tom :”There is an open field of reality accessible to us through the imagination.”
Wonder, Curiosity, and Willingness partner with Imagination to open portals of participatory cahooting between worlds…. Because we humans cannot resolve any of the innumerable cruel conundrums we have imposed on our kin – by ourselves. Tis by ourselves that got us it into this pickle.
Participatory Animism, Biomimicry, Mutual Aid – the way to go….
