NEW ARTICLE about the Shortwave Report in the Boulder Weekly by Gavin Dahl-

 

     From JAPAN- South Korean opposition parties are pushing to impeach President Park Geun-hye despite her offer to resign before her term expires. The Japanese government plans to scrap the controversial fast-breeder nuclear reactor. Swiss voters rejected a referendum to speed up the elimination of nuclear power plants. The US military has announced that their attack on Syrian forces that ended a truce between Russian and so-called rebel forces was an unintentional human error, but will not apologize for the action.

       From CUBA- The death of Fidel Castro was a primary topic in most international news sources this week. Numerous world leaders spoke at the tributes to him at ceremonies in Havana, here are summaries of what President Rafael Correa of Ecuador and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said. Then a Viewpoint on the key role Fidel played in exposing the crippling effect that foreign debt has had on third-world countries, leading to impoverishment and resource exploitation.

       From RUSSIA- Afshin Rattansi interviewed Rob Miller, director of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign. He says that the demonization of Castro was led by the US media and US government propaganda. Billions of dollars of fines have been levied against nations and corporations for trading with Cuba, and this blockade has continued under President Obama. Miller points out that American media accused Castro of torturing Cubans while the US tortures prisoners in Guantanamo Bay prison, which Cuba considers an illegal occupation of land. He says that other Latin American nations are also targets of US media disinformation.

     From SPAIN- President-elect Trump called Castro "a brutal dictator." Then Spanish press reviews covering the death of Fidel Castro, the Catalan budget which includes funding for a referendum to separate from Spain, and changes in the educational reform and opposition to the recent citizen security law, popularly known as "the gag law."

 

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)
