Ranting vs. Raving vs. Resistance vs. Revolution - May 18, 2010
May 18, 2010, 5:25 a.m.
This episode: what kind of difference can a couple of guys postering and flyering in a city of 6 million people make? Does that depend on the 6 million people? What 'should' our 'normal' reactions be to our concerns about the future? Does what we do now reveal how we'll react later? Does fear build on fear? Success on success? Should we be more scared of "Terrorists!" or "Facebook!"? Why don't our favourite "conscious" artists expose the NWO? Or even (e.g.) the risks of vaccines? Why don't we?

A little collage offered to those who can stomach the red pill. Noam Chomsky speaks (in his ever cautious and overly worded way) of the failures of our elites and political system while David Degraw puts it in terms that we are all being attacked by the elite (something Warren Buffet has said too). But stefbot may have summed it up in the best way, comparing us to livestock. All with appropriate music⦠favorite is Harry Shearer song on
Goldman-Sachs.

Can Happy New Age Man-God Slaves Still Fight 4 Their Rights? - May 17, 2010
May 17, 2010, 5:12 a.m.
This episode: if we say "You Will Let Go Of My Mind!" over and over again, will that help? Are we modern-day share-croppers with shiny toys? How does the "New Age" movement affect our ability to feel like saying or doing anything worth saying or doing? How does it make us feel like feeling like "Gods" on earth without doing anything G-dly? Why is the term "new world order" popping-up everywhere? Why are we losing our rights at the same time? What did we do when the "communists" came for Canada?
Night Transmissions #58 64 kbs Low Fi
May 16, 2010, 9:05 p.m.
Night Transmissions is a 120 minute show featuring vintage radio shows. In this show...
Segment 1:
This week we're going to open up with an episode from the Inner Sanctum, "Between Two Worlds" which originally aired on December 20, 1948.
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but generally I try to showcase, in the first half hour of the show, a mystery of some sort. I'm not obsessive about it. It's just something I like to do... to begin the proceedings with a story of a crime, a trial, or a some kind of caper. But, like most of the rules here on NightTransmissions this practice may be more observed in it's breach than in it's keeping.
Tonight's show may be one of those breachs. I'm really not sure. It's a neat little ghost story wrapped up in an interesting mystery. It opens when a nice sturdy note wrapped around the vessel of a lovely little brick sails through the window of a Chicago police station. The
cops scramble to pick up and read the note, which turns out to be the confession of a well know ne'er-do-well. From There the body of the story unfolds in retrospect.
Unfortunately, unlike "Suspense"," Escape", "Gunsmoke", "Our Miss Brooks" and a hand-full of other shows , "The Inter Sanctum" has not had the benefit of a competent restoration and re mastering so it's sound quality is quite uneven from show to show.
Segment Two:
Starts with a Five-Minute Mystery from the late 1940s, "Murder Sounds an Alarm".
Then from Arch Obler's program Lights Out , which would make an occasional foray into science fiction (although Mr. Obler style of story would be better identified as Science Fantasy). I put forward for your attention , "The Immortal Gentleman". In which a young man travels into the future to discover that immortality consists largely
of boredom. The show aired on August 31 of 1943
Then to round up the segment we have an episode of Ellery Queen's Minute Mysteries, "The Phony Promoter".
Segment Three:
Is a reading by Bologna Jones from the Librivox project of a short story written by Walter M. Miller Jr, Hoofer. You may well be unfamiliar with the name Walter M. Miller Jr... Miller, was a Science Fiction writer of no mean reputation. In high demand and selling well as a short story writer. Miller only published one novel in his lifetime, the extremely highly regarded, "A Canticle for Leibowitz". The structure of this novel was rather like a collection of short stories organized around a common theme. That being the re-attainment
of civilization after an apocalypse. This was a very popular genre in the 50s when this novel was published. Of the stories from that period, three novels stand out. One was A Canticle for Leibowitz. Another was John Wyndham's, The Chrysalids (published in the United States as Rebirth). And George R. Stewart's, "Earth abides"; Which was
serialized by the radio show Escape and was presented in its entirety as part of NightTransmissions number 17.
Segment Four:
Is a segment of , Believe It or Not from December 12 of 1947 ,"The Chicken Catcher". At the center of this story is Chicken Farmer John Irwin, his wife Liz, their son Elroy (well, maybe not Elroy) and an infestation of chicken rustlers who are in the end undone by a certain
amount of ingenuity on the part of Farmer John.
This is a theoretically true story culminating in a Rube Goldberg like contraption that assists the long arm of the law in it's probing for justice.
Music:
The Crew Cuts - Sh boom (1954)
Julie London Can't Help Lovin' That Man(1955)
Barbra Streisand - Stoney End (1971)
Bob Seger - Against The Wind (1980
