GLENN GREENWALD SPEAKS OF EDWARD SNOWDEN
AND NSA AT THE CHICAGO SOCIALISM 2013 FORUM
In the latest fallout from the ongoing NSA leaks published by the Guardian and der Spiegel, the European Community is up in arms over today's reports of American and British surveillance of at least 38 European embassies, and the bugging of UN and EU computers, phones and trade delegations engaged in treaty negotiations with Washington.
The European parliament and French President Francois Hollande are demanding explanations and a 'immediate halt' to the NSA/GCHQ operations. But BARACK OBAMA's new State Secretary John Kerry shrugged off the furor, claiming, with apologies to Tom Jones, that "it's not unusual" to tap at any time.
Domestically, new slides released from the NSA's PRISM database indicate that the Obama administration is maintaining real-time surveillance of American emails, logins, logouts, locations and transmissions -- in addition to digital storage of virtually all domestic cellphone and landline calls.
Meanwhile, the diplomatic noose around Edward Snowden tightened significantly overnight, when the now-passport-less whistleblower had a travel document issued by the Ecuadoran embassy in Moscow revoked by President RAFAEL CORREA -- who is facing trade sanctions and other threats against asylum delivered over the weekend by Vice President JOE BIDEN.
Moreover, Russian President VLADIMIR PUTIN added insult to injury, asserting today that if Snowden wants to stay in Russia "he must stop his work aimed at harming our American partners".
Edward Snowden's principles and revelations, and mainstream media's negligence in covering the NSA spy scandal were addressed in great detail over the weekend by Guardian reporter GLENN GREENWALD, keynote speaker for the Socialism 2013 Conference in Chicago [ socialismconference.org/ ].
Greenwald spoke from a foreign location by Skype, very much aware of the irony that Skype is among the many American corporations collaborating with the NSA. Greenwald was introduced by "Dirty War" author JEREMY SCAHILL

JULY 3, 2013 - EXPERTS SPEAK OUT - Part 2
July 2, 2013, 7:28 a.m.
This show is a continuation of the audio from the movie
"9/11 Explosive Evidence: Experts Speak Out". You won't hear this, or about this, in the corporate media or even in most of the alternative media. One has to ask "Why?" There are now 1947 architects and engineers willing to put their reputations on the line and state that the official story of how the 3 WTC towers came down is scientifically fraudulent and the major media outlets are collectively censoring it!! And much of the alternative media is too. Join these courageous architects, engineers and regular folks and sign the petition at www.ae911truth.org.
On this show you'll also hear about Kevin Ryan's new book "Another Nineteen: Investigating Legitimate 9/11 Suspects". This book breaks new ground in the search for 9/11 truth. You can learn more about the book and how to get a copy by going to www.digwithin.net. I would highly recommend it.
JUNE 26, 2013 - EXPERTS SPEAK OUT - Part 1
July 2, 2013, 7:09 a.m.
Richard Gage, founder of www.ae911truth.org, has granted Cheryl permission to air the audio of their very revealing movie "9/11 Explosive Evidence: Experts Speak Out". Today you'll hear the first part of this - with evidence based on scientific fact. There are now 1947 architects and engineers who have signed the petition calling for a new investigation into the events of 9/11 - you can sign it too, either as an architect or engineer, or as "other", if you're not one of the former. Please show your support and sign the petition at www.ae911truth.org.

This episode of Reality Sandwich was aired in February of 1990, as part of Black History Month. The featured figure is Frank Mills, the security guard at the Watergate Center in 1972.
Mills played a unique role in discovering the burglars of the Democratic Party Headquarters. By seeing they got arrested, it led to not only the downfall of President Nixon, but the discovery of the assassins of President Kennedy.
Almost since the day of JFK's killing, researchers tried to identify the 'three tramps' who were arrested behind the grassy knoll, attempting to flee in a boxcar. Thanks to Lee Bowers, the railroad switchman, they were caught and photographed. But their identities were unknown until Frank Mills had them arrested.
Their photos were then released to the world and the rest is history.
#278 -- Imperialism at Home and Abroad
July 1, 2013, 9:50 p.m.
Includes the final part of GLEN FORD's talk (begun in NWN #276 & 277) plus a short commentary by Ford and a song by DAVID ROVICS. This week Ford's focus is the US's current attempt (by means of AFRICOM) to control Africa's resources and trade by controlling Africa's militaries. And relatedly, Ford addresses the US government's war against civil liberties at home.
Rovics' song, "Meanwhile in Afghanistan," gives another view of military attacks overseas and attacks on the Bill of Rights at home.

Ramsey Clark - It's Time to Oppose War on Syria
July 1, 2013, 6:04 p.m.
The peace movement is stirring from its slumber in the United States and Canada. Various coalitions have called for a week of action on Obama's escalating intervention in Syria. Why has Obama invested so much in this mercenary war?
"It seems to me to be the same strategy we've had with all the Arab and Muslim countries that we've undermined," says Clark, referring to the continuous slow destruction of Iraq and other countries. Now it's Syria's turn.
One rationale put forward for U.S. intervention in Syria is that of Hezbollah involvement and their alleged violation of international law. That's rich.
Also, what are they doing to the Voting Rights Act? Is there any politician capable of maintaining basic rights for American citizens?

In February 2013, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified PCBs as carcinogenic to humans. During the expert meeting that led to the reclassification, much attention was given to the respiratory exposure route. Breathing PCBs is now recognized by scientists as a major source of exposure.
David O. Carpenter, MD, Director of the State University of New York University of Albany Institute for Health and the Environment served on the IARC PCB carcinogenicity panel that met in Lyon, France. Dr. Carpenter describes the work of this panel and explains the scientific basis for reclassification.

Back from Beirut, Mahdi Nazemroaya, newly the author of "The Globalization of NATO," reports on the regional conflict engulfing Syria. The Syrian government surprised the great powers by surviving the onslaught of the Gulf monarchies and NATO. "The only reason it surprised them was because of their imperial arrogance," comments Nazemroaya.
The insurgents are in retreat in parts of Syria. Fighting has spilled over into Lebanon, which is where Hezbollah's intervention has taken place.
"We can see where every country stands" when it comes to Syria. How do Arabs feel? Does France have the right to determine Syria's destiny? Which of the Gulf dictatorships will lead the war for democracy? They'll keep the war going as long as their brutal sweatshops aren't collapsing.
In Egypt, Morsi was calling for a "no-fly-zone." Now, Egyptians are calling for a "No Morsi Zone." It reminds one of Erdogan. They have sown the wind. Who will reap the whirlwind?

NSA leaks and computer security
June 30, 2013, 4:37 p.m.
This week's episode features two conversations. The first is with Micah Lee of the Electronic Frontier Foundation about the NSA leaks and what information that came out of it (at the time of this show's airing) was actually new and a general overview of what government surveillance in the U.S. looks like over computers.
The second conversation is with the Bay Area-based hacker, Bill Silverfox. Bill works with Hackmeet.org. We spend most of the hour discussing different communication technologies that most of us take for granted and talk about what can be done to use those mediums more safely.
Here's a short list of projects worth checking out:
https://ssd.eff.org : The Surviellance Self-Defense project by the EFF has tons of information about technology and what's known about tracking over those mediums. Also, check out https://www.eff.org for more general information, links to the https everywhere add-on for Mozilla Firefox.
https://optin.stopwatching.us/?r=eff : a petition site set up in response to the NSA spying revelations.
https://torproject.org : Information and tools developed for freer and more secure use of the web. This project helps provide and protect anonymity of activists, journalists and other folks around the world, including in countries with strict internet censorship. You can download a more secure web-browser from them, too! It's pretty rad. But, as their website points out, it's not just your browser but how you traverse the web that can be a dealbreaker. This project has helped to secure communications among activists struggle against the state worldwide.
https://www.riseup.net : An amazing resource for anti-state, anti-capitalist, anti-oppression activists. They provide social-networking (via crabgrass), email, lists, information on web security, document sharing (via etherpad), news, chat, vpn and MORE! This project is pretty darn internally secure AND has refused to hand over information before. Plus, these little birds need some funds.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/the-nsa-files : Check out the ever-growing and increasingly embarassing (for the U.S. security apparatus, that is) scandal from the paper that's releasing Snowden's reports.
http://hackmeet.org/ : A project created to facilitate the spreading of hacker awareness and skills on the (post)left coast.
http://zinelibrary.info/files/savethecellphonesforthesnitches.pdf : "London Calling: a cellphone and internet security primer for the criminally-minded anarchist" is quite a good read, explaining some of the case histories that are the bases for our knowledge of surveillance and safer operations.
http://www.enigmail.net/ : is one of the better and more accessible pgp (pretty good protection) email interfaces. Works great with Mozilla Thunderbird email.

Cindy caught up with Afghan Parliamentarian and Revolutionary feminist, Malalai Joya, in Berkeley when Malalai was here to promote her new book: Woman among Warlords. Cindy loves to dispel Myths, so tune in to hear that the US DOES NOT have to keep its military in Afghanistan to "protect the women". Malalai may be tiny in stature, but she has a giant courage.
