On Tuesday 2 Palestinians killed Jewish worshippers in a synagogue in Jerusalem- Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered a harsh response. US drone airstrikes killed at least 18 in eastern Afghanistan.
From RUSSIA- There are reports that Kiev is preparing new military attacks on the breakaway eastern regions of Ukraine. Interviews with a Russian professor who points out the Ukrainian military buildup on the Russian border, and a German political analyst who alleges that NATO and Kiev are lying about a Russian military buildup up in eastern Ukraine.
From GERMANY- The EU blacklisted more eastern Ukrainians but rejected more sanctions against Russia. German Chancellor Merkel accused Russia of destabilizing the Balkan region. The German Foreign Minister urged the west to not give up on a negotiated settlement in eastern Ukraine. Lawmakers in Spain voted 319-2 to recognize Palestine as a state- the vote angered Israel, which continues to demolish homes of Palestinians accused of attacking Israelis. The UN Human Rights Commission voted to put North Korea on trial at the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity. Thousands of Czechs marched through Prague on Monday to mark the 25th anniversary of the start of the Velvet Revolution- ceremonies were held nationwide.

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.
TIME SLOT on KZYX! This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm (PST) 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)
