Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (April 22) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both broadcast quality (15.1MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (4.9MB) (28:59)
(NEW! If you have access to Audioport.org there is a higher quality version posted up there {35MB} http://www.audioport.org/index.php?op=producer-info&uid=904&nav=&)
This week's show features stories from NHK Japan, Radio Deutsche-Welle, Radio Havana Cuba, and The Voice of Russia.
From JAPAN- French President Sarkozy has promised Libyan rebels more intense airstrikes against Gaddafi forces. The Japan earthquake toll continues to rise and 133,000 are still living in evacuation centers. Schoolchildren in Fukushima must not touch the soil because of radiation levels. A French company will build a facility to decontaminate radioactive water at the Fukushima plant. The Italian government has frozen nuclear power plant development due to public opinion. Indian police opened fire on anti-nuclear demonstrators.
From GERMANY- This month is the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster- the containment structure is beginning to fail and vast dangers still exist at the site. The head of the Greek Bank does not want the nation's debt restructured. Britain, France and Italy are sending military advisers to Libya, while Germany opposes sending any NATO ground troops.
From CUBA- Greenpeace reports worldwide increases in radiation levels since the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Evidence has been released showing Britain discussing selling Iraq oil 5 months before the 2003 invasion. A Wikileaks release shows the Obama administration leading a campaign to sabotage a UN investigation into possible war crimes committed by Israel in the Gaza attack of 2008 and 2009. New figures were released about the casualties in the Egyptian revolt, and torture continues under the current authorities. Saudi Arabian authorities have arrested more than 160 peaceful dissidents since February, though the Western media is not mentioning it.
From RUSSIA- In Libya, the delivery of humanitarian aid may lead to the deployment of NATO ground troops, according to Phyllis Bennis from the Institute of Policy Studies.

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.
This program will be aired on Friday evening at 6:30pm (PDST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via < http://www.kzyx.org >
There are several other streams that work better- < http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this program on Friday at 9:00am.(PST)
NEWLY CORRECTED!!! The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from < feed://radio.indymedia.org/en/podcast?keys=shortwave++
Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org >
And Radio For Peace International at < http://www.rfpi.org >
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)

The admission of the presence of European torture professionals in Libya signifies the arrival of capitalist kleptocracy at the strategy of defeat: Instead of a mission accomplished ceremony aboard an atomic reactor, the aftermath of the radiation disaster includes the violent reenaction of the most evil tactics of colonialism. At least some of them probably already have been there for a while, presumably not the only ones, and though Libya cannot be accused for being targeted by the evildoers, willful and informed collaboration with them is an act hostile to the European people, because it props up the kleptocratic regimes there and buys them time to continue their oppression. It is no secret that in terms of freedom Europe‘s reputation is better than its record, if only in wishful thinking meant to contrast America, but it is a little respected truism that freedom and democracy begin only where the regime of the police state ends (not where it begins to conceal itself). As far as Libya does such a thing, it would turn itself into a pawn nobody will care about when being thrown off their imaginary chessboard. If you accept from Sarkozy what you do not accept from Gaddafi then failure is success, and all the rest of it. These torture professionals know that one day Europe will respond to their unforgivable crimes against it, so they think they might as well die abroad and enjoy some gullibility before doing so. The records of the long term results of Europe exporting this misery are available everywhere and have been extensively discussed. It will be quite hard to argue not to have known of the results of colonialism, probably even worse than not to have known of the risks of atomic reactors. You will only be able to become independent from Gaddafi without getting into other dependencies if you can remain independent from everyone he was as well. The insurrection in Africa could only break through because secret police in Europe and America had been paralysed by the cry for freedom from within. The insurrection around the Persian Gulf was only able to revive itself because the initial successes in Africa were so galvanising. The killing of a protester in India might be yet another spark in yet another region of the world which is not contaminated yet. This is a global struggle against a living anachronism. It may be the fault of Gaddafi that you have been unaware of the general situation outside Libya, but it cannot be blamed on him if you still are.
