In the words of journalist Katherine Yurica : "Americans and the main-stream media have been very slow in catching on to the fact that we are in a war—a war that is cultural, religious and political--a war that uses stealth and deception and the rules of engagement written by the enemies to representative democracy. Unless Americans wake up--we could lose that war. " Yurica is not referring to "international terrorists" but to Christian fascists known as Dominionists, aka the New Traditionalist movement. Their aim, the establishment of a theocratic corporate state. This week on the program we'll explore effort to to install a theocracy in America, and its relationship to the present condition of corporate rule. We begin with Mike McCormick of Mind over Matters radio speaking Rev Rich Lang of Trinity United Methodist Church in Ballard, WA about his article, the Rise of Christian Fascism, then how the teaching of evolution has again become a battleground issue, and we conclude with a look at corporate rule in America and its relationship to fascism. |

The Bush/Cheney administration declared Sept 11 as "patriot day," but a growing international citizen movement has called this the "summer of truth" - the point at which the true role of the Bush/Cheney administration in the events of 911 will finally be told. These 911 truth activists are no longer a small group crying in the wind. Last week on the program, we covered a new Zogby poll which revealed that half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of New York citizens overall say that some of our leaders "knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to act," Tonight on the program investigative journalist Mike Ruppert will present some critical new information one of the most suspicious aspects of the of the government response to the hijacked planes, that is their lack of response, its failure to send the the airforce in pursuit of the hijacked planes which has been the routine practice for the past 35 years. |

The Republican Nationmal Convention gets underway tomorrow in New York City but the Republicans are truly unwelcome guests there, recent polls show that 80 percent of New York City residents don't want them , and that 60 percent or so of those polled approve of the anti-RNC demonstrations. Hundreds of thousands have already turned out to protest against the Bush agenda. First on the program, a look at parts of that agenda that remain unspoken, theocratic dictatorship, and the general climate of secrecy and lies that characterize the Bush white house - veteran radio journalist Larry Bensky spoke with NYU Media scholar and author Mark Crispin Miller and former Nixon White Counsel John Dean In the second hour, Anarchism 101. In the lead up to the convention the mainstram press has dutifully reported hysterical statements by New York City authorities of fearsome anarchists invading the city and they announced that the NYPD had dispatched teams of officers throughout the nation to perform round the clock surveillance on 56 anarchist organizers. What is anarchism? Should you be afraid, or should you join up? |

Do you have a right of free speech if the only way you can use it is in ways that don't offend the government? Do you have a right to assemble freely to demonstrate your disapproval of government policies if you're only allowed to do this in such way that it has no impact? This week on the program we'll look at the extent to which our constitutional rights are actually respected - the freedom to speak, to hold views and freely associate with others, to demonstrate , to be protected from cruel and unusal punishment and to have one's person or belongings safe from arbitrary search and seizure by agents of the state. These are the American freedoms that we are told are being protected by the endless war. We'll report on new developments in the court case of four teenage peace activsts in Ithaca, then Abu Ghraib, USA. In our second hour a lesson on your rights and how to protect them while protesting, speciallu geared to listeners headed to New York to protest the Republican Convention. |

In the second hour, Dr. Robert Bowman, President of the Institute for Space and Security Studies, who was a US military fighter pilot during the Viet Nam War, discusses the issue of the failure of fighter jets to intercept the hijacked planes used in the 9/11 attack, and he puts the events of that day in the context of American geopolitics.

In commemoration of Americas annual celebration of the Declaration of Independence which is marked as the birth of the nation., tonight's program features two serious but fun talks about America, past and present. Its leaders, and its wars, its calls to patriotism, and its true state religion, the creed of the free market - and some of the realities of how that creed is practiced today . In our first hour, we'll hear from American historian and novelist Gore Vidal, with a talk he originally gave last Memorial day. But since most of our holidays and patriotic songs seem to have to do with war, this talk seemed appropriate for this holiday as well. And in our second hour we;re going to hear from Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation. His new book Reefer Madness : Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market, is his topic tonight. |

This week, more presentations by independent investigators at the international inquiry on 9/11 held in San Francisco in March. We will place 9/11 in context of the planet's dwindling oil resources and the closed-door decisions about how to deal with the phenomenon of peak oil that have apparently already been made by the Ameican power elites - to defend corporate capitalism at any cost, even if that means species extinction. This places 9/11 in a high stakes context that may change the way you look at the issue of 9/11's unanswered questions. Featured Speakers: Richard Heinberg, Greg Palast, Mike Ruppert, Daniel Hopsicker |

Yesterday was earth day and today women marched in Washington DC to protest the right wing government's attempt to roll back hard won gains under law. This election season, pollsters ask voters which issue they consider of top importance: the economy, the war, the environment and so on. But the degradation of our bioshpere, a economy of " haves" and "have nots" and resource wars under the guise of high flow ideologies or bogus threats are are part and parcel of a civilization based on hierarchy and commodification. Our featured speaker tonight, environmentalist and author Derrick Jensen, argues that this "civilization" cannot save the envronment or itself, and must be brought down. Also, we conclude our readings from the book Disciplined Minds by Jeff Schmidt...but first a brief report from Israel and Palestine from Grace Ritterr , an Ithaca resident who travelled with a peace delegation ro be present for the release of Israeli anti-nuclear activist and whistleblower Mordecai Vanunnu earlier the week..
