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

 

     This week's show features stories from NHK World Radio Japan, Spanish National Radio, Radio Havana Cuba, and Radio Deutsche-Welle.

     From JAPAN- Nuclear fuel is being loaded into a power plant in Japan, in preparation for the first nuke on line since the Fukushima disaster- protests have begun locally and are expected to spread. President Obama and the head of the Communist party of Vietnam met at the White House to express joint opposition to Chinese activities in the South China Sea. Japan and the US resumed talks on the Trans Pacific Partnership trade pact. At a BRICS summit this week, China and Russia agreed to deepen cooperation in economic and security matters.

     From SPAIN-  On July 1st the Spanish government put a controversial Public Safety Law into effect. Critics call it a "gag law" as it imposes large fines and arrests for most all forms of public protest, whether on the street or on the internet. The comparison to the repressive days of Franco have been made internationally.

     From CUBA- In Colombia, FARC forces declared a unilateral ceasefire. In Mexico teachers took to the streets to oppose new education reforms. Wikileaks exposed more NSA spying on Brazilian leaders and politicians. Pope Francis is visiting several countries in South America- he issued another plea for action on climate change, saying that environmental degradation is taking the most severe toll on the poorest people on the planet. The Egyptian military says it killed 241 militants on the Sinai peninsula so far this month. 49 people died in Afghanistan from US drone assassinations. In Yemen in one day Saudi led airstrikes killed 200 people, including civilians.

      From GERMANY- Two reports on the still unresolved situation in Greece- the anti-austerity referendum was a landslide, the IMF wants the Greek debt restructured. The talks on Iranian nuclear development were extended for another week. The Afghan President sent a delegation to Pakistan to meet with Taliban leaders about a peace deal. President Obama vowed to intensify attacks on the so-called Islamic State forces. On Monday Saudi-led airstrikes killed another 40, mostly civilians. Amnesty International accused Balkan countries of mistreating migrants heading to the EU. Tunisia, where the so-called Arab Spring began, has declared a 30 day state of emergency following the attack last week on tourists. More Wikileaks documents have been released showing NSA spying on the German Presidential aides and other officials.

 

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)

"A totalitarian state will harmonize in Spain the operation of all the capabilities and energy in the country, that inside the National Unity, the work esteemed as the most unavoidable must be the only exponent of the people's will."

--Francisco Franco, 1939
