Retired Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who was chief of staff under Colin Powell, spoke at the annual Israel lobby conference at the National Press Club. He described the Israeli effort to pull the US into an overthrow of Iran by exaggerating their military development and threat to the Middle East. The presence of US forces would add credibility to Netanyahu's goal.       From RUSSIA- Afshin Rattansi interviewed Judge Franco Frattini, former Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs. They discussed the recent Italian election that saw victories by right-wing anti-immigrant parties. Franco criticized the impositions of the EU, what he saw as the French/German axis, and the swollen immigrant population of his country. He condemned the $6 billion EU members gave to Turkey in an attempt to keep the refugees down there. He compares the Italian election results to the Trump victory in the US.     From CUBA-  A Viewpoint on the life and accomplishments of Hugo Chavez. On the 5th anniversary of the Venezuelan reformers death large tributes were held across Latin America. He was praised for great reductions in poverty, making health care available in remote parts of the country, and making education accessible to all. Chavez also defended the country's resources from external exploitation.     From JAPAN- The North and South Korean leaders will hold a summit in April, and the North has committed to a nuclear free Korean peninsula. The 7th anniversary of the nuclear devastation at Fukushima is this weekend- 73,000 people are still unable to return home, and there has been little progress at cleaning up the reactors and the area. NHK polled residents about the current status and the fact that the public's memories of the disaster are fading. 11 companies have combined efforts to launch more filling stations for hydrogen fuel cell cars across Japan, Toyota and Honda are committed to the new technology. There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line -http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves  I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available at http://www.mediageek.net/sound/2006/mg100606-64k.mp3   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. TIME SLOT on KZYX! This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm (PST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via < http://www.kzyx.org >  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!

But capitalism can not be transcended through capitalism itself; it must be done through socialism, true socialism, with equality and justice. I'm also convinced that it is possible to do it under democracy, but not in the type of democracy being imposed by Washington. "- Hugo Chavez  2005 Dan RobertsShortwave Report- www.outfarpress.comYouthSpeaksOut!- www.youthspeaksout.net
