Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (July 15) is up at the website http://www.outfarpress.com/shortwave.shtml in 3 forms- (new) HIGHEST QUALITY (128kb)(27MB), broadcast quality (16MB), and quickdownload or streaming form (6MB) (28:59) Links at page bottom
(If you have access to Audioport there is a highest quality version posted up there {27MB} http://www.audioport.org/index.php?op=producer-info&uid=904&nav=&;)

This week's show features stories from China Radio International, NHK Japan, Radio Deutsche-Welle, and the Voice of Russia.
From CHINA- At the EU-China Youth Forum for Sustainable Development, young delegates discussed their role as stakeholders in addressing global environmental pollution and climate change issues. Turkey continues to insist that Israel apologize and compensate for the flotilla members murdered last year on the way to Gaza.
From JAPAN- Prime Minister Kan says that Japan should reduce dependence on nuclear energy. Survivors of the atomic bombs in 1945 are urging the government to completely abandon nuclear power. Prefecture governors have united to promote the expanded use of renewable energy sources in Japan.
From GERMANY- There is much speculation this week about government defaults in Greece, Portugal, Italy, and Ireland- here is one story about Greek citizens pulling their money out of Greek banks. A report on Julian Assange's appeal in a London court to prevent his extradition to Sweden.
From RUSSIA- Last year saw the greatest number of civilian deaths in the 10 year old war on Afghanistan, and civilians have been protesting. The US has pulled back about a third of the aid it gives to Pakistan as conflicts continue to grow between the two governments. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are pushing to indict George Bush for international war crimes.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line -

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.(PDST)
NEWLY CORRECTED!!! The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from < feed://radio.indymedia.org/en/podcast?keys=shortwave++

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)

--"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
– Nelson Mandela
The discord among secret police regimes surfacing with the unwinding of the CIA/ISI axis signifies that this has already been the most influential element in international diplomacy for a while, as the actual news in the appearance of the message is that it could not be noised out by some spectacular cooperation in the war on unarmed dissent. Not even Bismarck drawing a map full of useless lines let off any other hyperbolic farce like that could hide the fact that diplomatically spoken there is no such thing as an international community, and certainly not around the central powers of the so-called cold war narrative. In a war which is said to be more than the sum of its parts, the North Americans and the Russians are allies in one battlefield and antagonists in another, like in the Biblical proverb of the Satanic healing. The reasons why these relations in North Africa and Central Asia are contradictory might be political deciders shooting themselves into the feet with their evil plagiarisms, but even more interesting than that should be that this could be the explanation why there always seems to be no solution for those in the middle between these two regions. And of course there also is the - maybe unintended, but not unforseeable - legacy of the Islamic bomb in Pakistan, not unforseeable because atomic states tend to be police states and vice versa, with the proliferation not being just a result of the international relations of the Urenco corporation but also of the regime ties that enabled it. Had Bush at least pretended to lead the IAEA to a solution for that problem, Obama seems to be too ignorant to see the writing on the bricks in India: The Islamic bomb is not what is coming but what is there. And since there is no such diplomatic entity as an international community which could disarm in informed consent, the secret police regimes have a problem they can only blame upon themselves.

The subtle difference between encouraging someone to wake up and rape in the sleep is not only a matter of specific body parts involved, but first of all a matter of access to a mind that is not open for interaction but still sought to be reached, be it for the purpose of merely changing that situation or for the purpose of breaking will. This is why a person who is being woken up without a known will in doing so must be treated in a way which does not affect the person's ability for retroactive consent, even if there might be no sexual aspect involved. On the other hand, individuals in previous consent might have deliberately agreed upon mutual sexual access in sleep that would amount to a breaking of will if it lacked such prelude. From the perspective of a killer robot in the sky, any human being not successfully hiding its whereabouts from the regimes is sleeping, in the sense of being available for unwelcome surprise. But would it be moral to wake these people up by exploiting their specific weaknesses, or does that amount to a rape of the mind, which after all once its obvious limits are ignored is even more vulnerable than genitalia? And if so, why is this precise charge being inverted and plagiarised in a kangaroo court against one of the most effective opponents of secret police regimes on the planet, and retroactively grafted upon a contradictory charge which originally did not display that pattern? Is the persecution of Wikileaks activists after all nothing but a vain attempt to noise out much more serious charges against secret police regimes around the planet the expectation of which is the root cause for their mutual discord?
