From CHINA- In Palestine, as Hamas comes into power, the President Abbas has been stripped of some of his powers. The head of the IAEA says he is still confident that a diplomatic solution will be found over Iran's nuclear development, while both the Iranian and US leaders escalated threats. Protesters marched on the US Embassy in the Philippines protesting sexual abuse committed by US military stationed there. Terrorist attacks on a holy city in India have raised fears of spreading violence between Hindus and Muslims.

The British government has admitted for the first time that CIA aircraft carrying detainees on their way to torture landed at British military airfields.

The director of the Baghdad morgue has fled Iraq following his report that more than 7000 people have been killed by death squads in recent months.

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 7pm (PST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
There are several other streams that work better- Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this program on Friday at 9:00am (PST)
