NEW ARTICLE about the Shortwave Report in the Boulder Weekly by Gavin Dahl-
This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, Spanish National Radio, Sputnik Radio, and Radio Havana Cuba.
From GERMANY- The UN announced that the Paris Climate Change accord had been ratified and will go into effect on November 4th. On Monday Germany celebrated its 26th anniversary of unity but there were protests against Chancellor Merkel and refugees. Hungarians voted to not accept refugees and in Poland there were protests against a proposed ban on abortions. British appointed PM Theresa May expressed her conditions for Brexit. The Turkish parliament extended the state of emergency, while a German court dropped the case against a comedian who ridiculed President Erdogan. The Syrian government demanded that rebels leave Aleppo followed by the US suspending negotiations with Russia on reviving the gutted ceasefire in Syria.
From SPAIN- One section of what Alison Hughes presented on Panorama this week was Princeton Professor Emeritus Stephen Cohen spoke on the new cold war between Russia and the US. The end of the ceasefire in Syria, which collapsed with the US bombing of Syrian troops, indicates that either the US did not want a ceasefire or that President Obama is not in control of war policy in Washington. If the US and Russia had successfully ended the fighting in Syria, the cold war would be null, and there would be no justification for the NATO buildup on the Russian border.
From RUSSIA- Three clips from Afshin Rattansi's program called Going Underground. It has been revealed that the Pentagon has paid up to $500 million to a public relations firm to create fake news reports and propaganda to entrap potential jihadists. The use of predator drones continues to escalate with increased terror threats to civilians in the countries deploying them. The BBC and American media continue promoting the cold war between the US and Russia.
From CUBA- In Honduras, the case files on the murder of environmentalist Berta Caceres have been stolen further discrediting the investigation. The failed peace referendum in Colombia has left FARC rebels saying they will fight no more, while President Santos has announced that the ceasefire ends October 31. Wikileaks will soon release 1 million documents involving 3 different nations that will influence the US election, but that there is no intention to harm Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line -
I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available at http://radio.mediageek.net
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! (maybe a little)
