When the US rose to world power after Word War II one man had incomparable influence: Allen Dulles - spokesperson and lawyer for Wall Street and the most powerful corporations, including members of the oil cartels.
Allen Dulles defined and helped build what became known as the secret government - and within that the CIA. David Talbot - in his book "The Devil's Chessboard" - described how Dulles saw himself and the CIA as above the law, secretly pursuing policies that stood in clear contradiction to presidential or congressional mandates.
Here now is the conclusion - the question and answer period where one issue keeps coming up: How much of the post war secret state has survived - and how in many ways has that secret state become even more powerful today.
Laura Sheppard moderated the question and answer period at the December 2, 2015 meeting. She is the Director of Events at the 160+ year old Mechanics Institute in San Francisco.
"The Restless Hungarian"
Jan. 19, 2016, 2:25 p.m.
The true, but stranger than fiction life story of Paul Weidlinger, characterized as âThe Restless Hungarianâ, is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious. At age 25 Weidlinger , who hid his Jewish roots in plain view, fled to Bolivia to escape the Holocaust. Five years later he resettled in the United States and became one of the most important and creative structural engineers of the 20th Century.
âThe Restless Hungarianâ is a book and a feature-length documentary about to be the 30th movie written and produced by Tom Weidlinger, Paul Weidlingerâs son. The story is set against the larger canvas of the Hungarian Jewish Diaspora, and reflects the experiences of so many immigrants who made a name for themselves in America after World War II.
The Beaconreader, http://www.beaconreader.com which funds journalism projects around the world is currently hosting a crowd source fund for âThe Restless Hungarianâ http://www.beaconreader.com/projects/the-restless-hungarian to complete the book and movie.
When award winning film-maker Tom Weidlinger and I visited by phone on January 9, 2016, we began when I asked to explain how the life experience of his father Paul Weidlinger is relevant today.
The book Tom Weidlinger recommends is âEuphoria,â by Lily King.

Jan. 19, 2016, 10:28 a.m.
Zafar Bangash, editor of Crescent Online, paints with broad strokes the general situation in the Middle East from Syria to Saudi Arabia. Regarding Syria, he notes that the Syrian Arab Army, backed by Russian air power, is advancing on all fronts and may soon be in a position to liberate, from western-backed terrorist mercenaries, Aleppo, the largest city in Syria and its former commercial capital. In the meantime, western governments and media have been shedding crocodile tears over the fate of the starving inhabitants of the Syrian town of Madaya, where Syrian food aid has been plundered by the terrorists occupying the town who consume the food or sell it at inflated prices to the inhabitants whom they keep as prisoners.

Regular listeners are aware that TheAngryindian has assessed (and identified) the ongoing quasi-religious domestic terrorist 'stand-off' in Harney County, Oregon as a Euro-Settler coup d'etat against the administration of President Barack Obama and the US multiculti civil order. In this dispatch, the question of the moment is how the negative sociopolitical by-product of not the Bundy Family's seditious action(s), but the abject and wilful failure of the local and especially federal authorities to either quell or forcibly end the Malheur Refuge event in the manner the nonviolent and unarmed 'Occupy' and #BlackLivesMatter Movements which were violently crushed by local, state and federal authorities aided by anti-government paramilitaries such as the Oath-Keepers (as seen during the second-wave of the major Ferguson Black Lives Matter protests). And while this is occurring, the radial White far-right, American African 'Hotep' Revisionist Afrocentrists and radical hard-Leftists along with the nonsensical extreme right-wing 'Sovereign Citizens' counter-culture curiously seem to be finding it fun to join hands with the neo-Confederate Bundy and Hammond Families in support of their far-right, anti-Indigenous politics; xenophobia and their snack-fuelled putsch in favour of reinstituting Manifest Destiny (the federal property in question was stolen from the Northern Paiute Nation) in Oregon State under arms while announcing threats to 'Kill or be killed' should authorities attempt to take control over the situation. What is really happening here? And who will be queued-up against the wall is things keep going in this direction all the way up until #Election2016?
All this and much more on, 4WR.

Out of the Woods - Show #302 - 1-23-16
Jan. 18, 2016, 10:20 a.m.
This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length.
Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Kate MacLeod, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

Trans Prisoner Day of Solidarity & Action / State of Emergency in France
Jan. 17, 2016, 1:08 p.m.
This week we're speaking wth Gary from Kansas City about the fast approaching day of solidarity with transgender prisoners which will occur this friday, January 22nd. In this interview we talk about Gary's past experiences with the prison system, the original call out for this day by trans prisoner Marius Mason, and the conditions that trans people generally face in prison, and the importance of focusing on this issue. For more on this day, to get ideas and to give report backs, you can visit http://transprisoners.net/
For more on Marius Mason's case you can visit http://supportmariusmason.org/
If you'd like to send our guest an email to get ideas on how to proceed, you can write Gary at gcwagaman@gmail.com
We also feature a segment from Dissident Island Radio's mid December show of 2015 about the changed security situation in France since the Paris attacks by Daesh-affiliated militants. The host of Dissident Island speaks with Camille, the name for anyone coming from the ZAD and speaking about experiences there. In this segment, Camille talks about the State of Emergency declared by the government of President Francoise Hollande, the suspensions of rights to publicly gather, the extension of the State of Emergency for 3 months, the challenges to folks with dual citizenship, the nighttime raids of immigrant communities and experiences of the folks at the ZAD as they enter a period of possible eviction. Camille also talks about how the ZAD at times acts as a refuge to immigrants and refugees seeking a break from state repression on a self-defended land project.

====================================
Statement from Marius Mason for the Trans Prisoner Day of Action and
Solidarity
"January 22nd 2016
Happy New Year, Family and Friends! Many, many thanks for so much support
and care over this year from both long-standing friends and new pen pals.
I feel very grateful and am always humbled by the encouragement and
resources sent my way by folks who are doing so much already to increase
our collective chances for survival. The news has been full of stories
about someone winning the big money pool that has accumulated for the US
Lotto - but the most important "win" has nothing to do with money. I am
betting on the movement to win big this year: in getting more control over
their communities and defending against police brutality and racial
inequality, in winning more victories for animal and in the defense of
wild spaces, in creating social relations based on respect, dignity and
compassion for all people.... regardless of their race, orientation,
creed or gender presentation.
Thank you for coming together today, to hold up those members of our
community who struggle so hard behind walls to keep their sense of self
intact. Sovereignty over our selves, our bodies is essential for any other
kind of liberty to be possible. By reaching out to trans prisoners, you
affirm their right to define themselves for themselves - and defend them
against the overwhelming voices who claim that they do not exist, that
they must allow others to define them. In the isolating environment of
prison, this is toxic and intimidating, and amounts to the cruelest form
of psychological torture. By offering your help and solidarity, you may
just save a life. I know that for the last year and a half, as I have
struggled to assert myself as a trans man, as I have advocated for the
relief of appropriate medical care for my gender dysphoria - it has been
the gentle and loving reminders of my extended family of supporters who
have given me strength and courage to continue. Please join me in offering
this help to so many others who need it to keep going. Never underestimate
the healing power of a letter, those letters have kept me going...and I
want to pass that gift on, if you will help me.
Thank you again for coming together on this day, for connecting to those
on the inside who truly need you, who need you to see them as they really
are and striving to be. Until the prisons are gone, we need to work hard
to support those of us inside - especially those of us who are not always
as visible to the rest of the world. We are always stronger together.
Marius Mason

David Bowie's Changes and Alan Rickman's Solidarity
Jan. 17, 2016, 11:34 a.m.
This episode of Back in the USSR is a little different. I rarely indulge in pop culture anymore, but I want to pay tribute, as a communist, to two men - David Bowie and Alan Rickman - who, for different reasons, have had a significant influence on me. David Bowie, for his ability to change and be self-critical when he had to be. Alan Rickman, for his support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against the Apartheid state of Israel and his solidarity with the Palestinian people. The ability to change and the ability to stand in solidarity, are qualities to be celebrated in a person. I hope these two people will be remembered for these qualities.
