From CUBA- Argentinian President Christina Fernandez spoke to the UN Security Council about the Latin American experience in global matters and the protection of citizen privacy. UN Secretary General Ban ki-Moon met with South American Foreign Ministers who voiced concerns about large scale surveillance of their citizens and the hijacking of Evo Morales's plane. In the US there was a second day of action against government surveillance, called 1984 day.

From JAPAN- Fishermen have again postponed trial fishing off the coast of Fukushima, following new revelations that 300 tons of radioactive water is pouring into the Pacific Ocean every day, as it has for over 2 years. Researchers have determined very high levels of radioactivity in the seabed off the coast of Fukushima. August 6th was the 68th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima- events, speeches, and ceremonies marked the day.

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.
NEW TIME SLOT on KZYX! This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm (PDST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
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)
