Thank you for mentioning the man whose mucous turned into plastic in his body from genetically engineered matter in his body. Please use an entire show to discuss "morgellons disease," and genetically engineered foods, chemtrails, and what these things are doing to our bodies. Discuss nano-biotechnology and how this stuff is getting into our bodies and transforming us. Also talk about the safe, natural, home-made remedies people are using to fight the "nanotransformation," including: taking food-grade diatomaceous earth with water each day to cut through the parasites and the biofilms in the gut; taking grapefruit seed extract, oregano oil, or black walnut extract to kill parasties in the gut (the latter two are less safe than grapefruit seed); taking baths in epsom salt and baking soda to remove toxic metals from the body and give the body magnesium; taking digestive enzymes to increase nutrient absorption and breakdown of bad things in the gut, taking sea greens to remove toxic and radioactive metals and boost the immune system; drinking cider vinegar and blackstrap molasses in water to boost the immune system; ingesting sea salt in water for same; ingesting coconut oil, cayenne, and other herbs to rid the body of yeast and fungus, and so on. See "skizitgesture" for videos explaining the nanobiotechnology; see "lymebusters forum," and "morgellons support network" for peoples' experiences treating morgellons. Alex Jones also did a good show on "morgellons."
People, we are going to lose this fight if the public - the masses - do not know the truth about this biowarfare on American citizens and the rest of the world. Either the super rich inherit the earth after they kill 6 billion of us and mutate the rest; or we, the meek, will inherit the world - and lock-up the damned super rich responsible for this crime.
thanks for bringing up these subjects- we certainly do need to have a rational, thoughtful, and well documented discussion about all these matters
on fridays show comments were made that now kpfa has been opened up and nothing will not be spoken about - yet there has been absolutely NO talk about geoengineering
peter phillips- mickey hart- please sponsor this discussion asap!!!!!!!!!!!!

At a 911 event at the Humanist Hall in Oakland, a few months ago, I asked Peter Philips what he thought about "this" handing him one of Rosalind Peterson's flyers about contrails and geoengineering. He said he as of now does not believe it is going on. He said he believes NASA.
in the 2012 most censored stories, there is an article about geoengineering
Bonnie Faulkner is on the right track. Minister of information "JR" is also. Davey D might do well to learn that he and Alex Jones really do have many subjects in common, including the Rap artists KRS-ONE and COMMON. And finally, yes Alex is "out -there", as the new KPFA station manager has recently commented in regards to another listener's comments...he is "out-there" on the front lines and standing-up for people of all colors and backgrounds, including Oscar Grant by name, Cynthia McKinney by name, denouncing forced inoculations- as recently imposed on students and parents on the east coast, anti-constitutional/criminal acts-policies-mandates-PDD's... of both- the George Bush/Barry Sotello (aka-Barak Obama) "Bush-Bama" regimes, the criminal international banking cartels and their influence on so-called "public policy" world-wide, admonishing the flacid, spineless- "me-first" federal and state congressional so-called representation of the citizenry, the corporate/industrial take-over of our food and health choices and decisions- resulting in bio-engineered-genetically modified "frankenfood" and "managed" medical care (managed in the sense that they will not allow you to be healed of your ailments but rather keep you on the treadmill of "managing-your-return treatment" for months and years and for life). These are the same issues and concerns expressed by various and sundry program hosts THROUGHOUT the PACIFICA RADIO NETWORKS, much more in-line with the spirit of the pursuit and purveyance of truth than, say, an AL JAZZEERA one-sided, frequently un-substantiated, mainstream media echo-chamber presentation. Check Alex out for yourself at: WWWdotGCNLIVEdotCOM. Then let the KPFA station manager and others in the network know how much both really do have in common. Thanks and liberty and justice to us all.
Hi there, "Submitted by AnttoTube (not verified) on Thu, 2011/06/02 - 6:14pm." Just wanted to thank you for showing me how web addresses would actually look on this KPFA website when entered as would normally be done. For your and other's benefit, the actual web address that you can find Alex Jones (who, by the way was the March 2011, prestigeous "Talk Radio Magazine" awards Keynote speaker this year) and other "pro-1st through 10th Amendments (aka-The Bill of Rights) to the US Constitution" advocates to be found amongst the program hosts of KPFA and Pacifica, at: WWW.GCNLIVE.COM, whereas the Pacifica Network stations provide year-round crucial community- oriented information and intermittently- interspersed products and services and solicitations "in support-of" this function, as evidenced each fund-drive, the Genesis network performs a like-function for a more national-oriented audience, with high-lites of significant local events that may have national and or global implications, like the TSA "SCOPE-n-GROPE" operations being conducted at airports all across the nation, and Alex Jones' call to his listening audience to join him at the Texas State Legislature after that days' radio show, to litterally take-over chambers and "verbally-Spank the cowards into "properly" voting to force the TSA goons to CEASE AND DESIST" their unconstitutional- criminal acts (where, if you or I touched complete strangers the way TSA is doing-WE'D BE JAILED! What gives them moral/lawful probable cause or the right to violate us this way and to expect us to accept it?) within the State of Texas. Yes, every community needs an Alex Jones or a bunch of Alex Jones types standing up to the corrupt and criminal actors running rampant and un-repentant in the US Government, and the International/US quasi-government and business cartels. So please think beyond the limitations of your political affiliation, as Alex and others within both the Pacifica and Genesis Networks would encourage you to do and get active in standing up for liberty and justice for all if you arent doing so already.
For example, ask yourself, better yet, ask your sock-puppet politicians why those aircraft are flying, incessantly laying layer-upon-layer of (WHAT?) in their/our skies DAY AND NIGHT for miles and miles over land and sea! I once.asked the mayor of Yuma, AZ this question. Rather than address my concern directly, she sent the local "law enforcers" to pay me a visit to convince me "nothing unusual" was occurring. Many of the high powered- monied, behind-the-scenes movers and shakers of this world live and act by the following credo, "There is the death and destruction of the "scaped-goat", money-to-be-made in "division" and "fear" of people of differing cultures." Put systems in place which affect and support the mental, moral, emotional and physical decline of the various inhabitants and the ecology of the planet, and facillitate our ability to "GET PAID" and squelch dissent, in the process- from GENERATION to GENERATION, for perpituity or to the "END OF TIMES". But, we-the-people can flip the script, with the will to strive to save ourselves from the slow-tortuous plan of the behind-the-scene' s evil-doers and their sock-puppet front men/women, who would write law, wage war and use our own money to destroy us , our progeny, our planet and our ways of life.
Ok, this is the last I'll have to say on this unless motivated to reply, but, where did the earlier comment/entry of: "Submitted by AnttoTube (not verified) on Thu, 2011/06/02 - 6:14pm.", go? Was it an Al-Jazzeera, Psy-Op-eration- gone awry? It did seem a bit incongruous to the empathetic discussion preceeding it. May we alI continue to have the wherewithal to observe and pay attention.
Did I forget to mention that any US Government organization subjecting American citizens to "PROPAGANDA" at home or abroad, whether short or long-term, is against the law, and a violation of 5 U.S.C. 3107. Al Jazzeera...re: Libya?...re: Middle-eastern popular- spring uprising? Al Jazzeera sounds a lot to me like "that OTHER community radio station" ... get my drift? I'm still waiting for a sign that Al Jazzeera is not a psy-op endeavor. Wiki-leaks...Psy-op-eration? Am I the only one to notice, or were you also struck at how they burst onto the PACIFICA scene just-in-time for the "Spring Uprising"...and how the reporting of events is so-...US Gov't position re-enforcing? And how about those "freedom fighters" in Libya? Who are they and where do they come from? And what about some MORE information from the official Libyan Govt representatives for a more HISTORICAL AND BALANCED perspective. And yes, I mknow the US and its' allies in Libya are NOT TARGETING the Libyan President for forced removal from office...sorta like Chavez of Venezuela, or Aristide of Haiti, or Kennedy of US, or...
I agree, smells pay-ops.
If KPFA wants to be taken seriously as a news organization then announcing alarmist untruths on air is probably something your amateur hosts should refrain from. Nuclear Meltdown in Nebraska, come on KPFA don't you have any control over your hosts or can they just say anything they want true or untrue ?
What happened to Tuesdays' 7/5/2011 Morning Show?
A ground-breaking broadcast for a long-dormant morning-time editorial world-view at KPFA.
Davey D interviews Clarence Thomas (International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 10 Executive Board Member, speaking on his own behalf, “as a rank-and-filer, some of the views that I might express may not necessarily be those of my local…”) on history of trade/labour unions in the U.S., “Bloody Thursday” (during the 1934 West Coast Waterfront Strike, also known as the 1934 West Coast Longshoremen's Strike, wherein San Francisco police “viciously” fire gunshots upon striking workers), the current state of unions and mass misperceptions around the importance of unions, and the role of rank-and-file union member solidarity in an age of Gomperist ‘business’/‘official’ union leadership preferring to subordinate themselves to the Democrat party as opposed to supporting common-sense rank-and-file direct action.
Also discussed:
• the value of rank-and-file driven union solidarity in the face of current moves to erode union power as a continuation of anti-union attacks going back for decades; today’s lowest union membership since 1900, according to a N.Y. Times report, contrasted with 35% circa WWII
• Circa 1950 the U.S. saw about 400 work stoppages versus today, only about 22
• Since Reagan, the only collective bargaining rights allowed have been “concessionary,” against the interests of workers
• unions representing the cornerstone of democracy in the workplace
• circa 1880s U.S., the fights for the 8-hour work day and an end to child labour were achieved through strikes; whereas today, Gomperist union leaders seem to only function to hamper, undermine, or otherwise block strikes. (Interestingly, rank-and-file union solidarity and meaningful critique of the problems with the Democrat Party and Republican Party are topics rarely meaningfully discussed in the media, even public media outlets like KPFA. The Morning Mix and Davey D seem poised to countervail such media shortcomings.)
• the role of racism and its detrimental effects in past union organisation and forward-thinking unions, such as the predominantly Afroamerican ILWU
• the July 16, 1934 General Strike across San Francisco in solidarity responding to the police killings of workers striking for better working conditions and the necessity for general strikes today in the face of mass upheaval in Greece, Wisconsin, and elsewhere
• problems of the labour movement trying to identify with the middle-class as opposed to identifying oneself as a “worker” or a member of the “working-class and, thus, the problems of a current deficiency of class consciousness among workers today
• engaging younger generations regarding the importance of rank-and-file union solidarity and the importance of addressing broader societal ills, such as police brutality, criminalisation of young people, particularly Black, Brown, and low-income White communities, and the ILWU solidarity actions in view of Nelson Mandela (1984) and Oscar Grant (October 23, 2010)
• workers and entrepreneurs
• immigrant workers being among the most exploited workers in the U.S.
• 2011 lawsuit: Pacific Maritime Association vs. ILWU Local 10 accusing rank-and-file workers of an illegal work stoppage for the participation of its members in a "We Are One" solidarity action with Wisconsin workers, which shut down the ports in Oakland and San Francisco on April 4, 2011, and the importance of public support for and defence of workers engaged in such direct actions in the greatest tradition of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
As my comments on Thu, 2011/06/02 - 5:53pm and Thu, 2011/06/02 - 9:12pm brought out, Al-Jazeera reportage bears taking with a grain of salt; to put it mildly and say the least. Al-Jazeera, foisted upon the listeners of KPFA just in time for the so-called “Middle-East uprisings”, and providing long-neglected “Sports” and “Pop-Culture/Celebrity-tabloid-gossip HEADLINE NEWS” (How on earth did the station survive so long without them-what were the “Founders” thinking; is this neglect the reason for the $80,000 pledge shortfall this past fund drive?!?), is proving itself to be a sad, mainstream-corporate media/gov’t propaganda, foot-in-the door machine to establish a dis-information/distraction operation beachhead assault on the shores of our Bay Area KPFA radio station AND the whole of the Pacifica Radio Network listeners. Just as the majority of listeners of the Genesis Communications Networks (www.gcnlive.com), and a growing number of Pacifica Network listeners have nothing to relate but disdain, disgust and contempt for this destructive machine, the purveyors obviously see KPFA and Pacifica as a more, Liberal-minded obstacle and threat to their instilling a mentally-emotionally-physically sickly/dumb-down/apathy/trifle/compliance-to- “authority”/surrender-your-(natural) rights and pay-us-to-destroy and kill-you, agenda. Do you feel my love for this decision to force-feed us listeners with this pablum and their expectation for us to like and accept it? I do neither! Now, just TODAY on the Flashpoints program, my point regarding Al-Jazeera was made very clear. If you have not already done so, you should listen to the Flashpoints presentation of the latest current events reports on Libya. What do you think of the differences in data sources and their witness’ accounts of what is happening on the ground there? Thank you Flashpoints, and thank you KPFA and listener-sponsors, for making this information available.
I sure do agree with this- Al Jazeera- not such good reporting since it was attacked- it really is trash media-mostly - at this point. If the stories it reports were followed up by someone we could get a handle on it- makes me think of BBC and the British Government propaganda
I can’t believe KPFA a ran an infomercial for the Petroleum industry
Promoting as the only solution for zero carbon and emission cars
To be to use more petroleum products. I thought the idea is to use less oil or use none.
That is wrong it is the worst way to go and no solution to global warming, pollution, energy shortage
And economically for consumers more expensive and makes sure we keep paying our money to the Oil monopoly
And a rip-off of our tax dollars we pay for research oil companies make profit, charge us the highest price possible.
The CA fuel cell partnership is a corporate welfare outfit. Oil company advocate group. That uses our tax dollars for research and promotion of making sure we are all good consumers and only use oil for transportation.
A fool cell car may have zero emissions at the tail pipe
As that’s due to it is driven by an electric motor
Powering a car with petroleum products (natural gas used to make hydrogen)
Is the same as we do now by using gasoline. And natural gas is a stinky smelly NON-Renewable FOSSIL FUEL !
And most will come from fracking shale deposits, which kills people and destroys the environment, gees people near natural fracking extraction their faucet blows up. I guess you think its OK to ruin peoples life’s as long as oil companies make money. It will be no cheaper than you pay for gasoline now.
When you have an EV needs no gasoline why use fool cells? To make sure oil companies pick your pocket.
An Electric car uses electricity why even consider natural gas hydrogen energy storage?
Wasteful and inefficient. The fool cell (gas) industry is NOT going to make hydrogen from using renewable electricity to power electrolysis to make hydrogen. Which uses 4 times the electricity than you get in the hydrogen.
As they said in your infomercial they are using natural gas which there is not enough of to power all our cars in the US any new natural gas is all by using fracking a deadly process.
Here is the difference
EV (electric car) powered by an electric motor. Energy stored in a Lithium Phosphate battery BEV.
You have solar panels on your roof is the cleanest most efficient method and you are making your own fuel, (electricity) cheaper than you can buy from the Utility monopoly, too cheap to meter
At 6 cents a Kwh. A typical BEV car gets 200 WattHours per mile equal to 138 Mpg.
$3.44 a week to commute 40 miles a day, 7 days in an EV using utility electricity, solar about $2.50 a week
$50 a week to commute the same distance gasser. 80 cents a week riding an EVmc.
So you get an idea about energy efficiency a gasser is 30% efficient that means 60% of the energy you use in your car is wasted. Of the $4 gasoline you buy $3 just goes out your tail pipe. This is for a car that gets 25 mpg.
You will pay the same using a petroleum industry Fool Cell usage.
Well to Wheel Solar battery Electric car cycle
Energy needed to produce 60Kwh at wheels –
Solar electric generator on your roof electricity produce –
79 Kwh no transmission loss - efficient – Charger 90% efficient
Onboard vehicle - Lion batteries 94% efficient – Electric motor 89% efficient.
4 steps in process 92.5% efficient only 7.5% of energy produced is lost
Cheap, clean, zero pollution, zero carbon, too cheap to meter in process. THE BEST SOLUTION
Use less or no Oil. recycle, reuse, Refuse
Fool cell car also is powered by an electric motor but you replace the 94% efficient batteries with a 54% efficient Fool cell loosing 40% of the energy stored in the fool cell comparative as it’s only 54% efficient in turning hydrogen into electricity a hydrogen is only storage of energy,
Well To Wheel Fool cell cycle
Drill natural gas out of ground, transport to refinery ( I don’t have energy used data but energy is used) –
You are using electricity to get the hydrogen out of the natural gas and throwing the Carbon and rest of elements and the energy out a smokestack more energy loss you have to count the energy lost as it coulda been used.
( I don’t have that data) I am sure it is less efficient than electrolysis though I have that number will use.
Energy needed to Produce 60 kwh at Wheel Fool Cell cycle
202 kwh produced at power plant
- power lines 92% efficient
- at refinery, refine hydrogen out of Natural gas 72% efficient (likely less)
– H2 gas pipeline 86% efficient –
Onboard vehicle
- H2 storage 86% efficient
– Fuelcell system 54% efficient
- Electric motor 89% efficient
7 Steps in process 56 % efficient , plus loss gas drill and transport to refinery. And loss of energy in natural gas.
36.5% loss of energy. 100% more greenhouse gas, pollution
So why would you want to turn good clean electricity into a petroleum product then back into electricity in your fuel cell to power your clean electric car? Why make more complicated add pollution.
More costly, have to buy from monopoly crooked corporation, less efficient why use the most energy instead of less? More pollution, more greenhouse gas. Theft of your tax dollar into the pocket of Oil companies,
BEV’s have come from the garages and alleys of America by citizens who made their own with little sucking on the tax dollar and are more advanced cheaper and cleaner. And a real solution
Why has KPFA NEVER had a show on EV’s or Solar ?
Why do you only have petroleum Industry hacks?
Oh yea I do drive a zero pollution, zero greenhouse gas, no consumer payment to oil or utilities companies vehicle since 2004
On my EV motorcycle (EVmc) first four years commuting to work I made a $4,500 profit
What vehicle cost to build & cost solar electricity subtracted from what I would have paid for gas
I say profit in as what you can save nowdays is a profit.
It is profitable not to pollute not to generate greenhouse gas, to be energy efficient.( my EVmc uses 80 watthours per mile, equal to 400 mpg. I say no to the Oil company non solution you had on your infomercial
I do have a report in PDF where I got my information can send to you

Africa Today: Did you hear the latest report, from yet another-separate source, on the misadventures of Al-Jazeera, this time in Nigeria? Listen to the report on KPFA’s “Africa Today” program of July 18 Monday 2011 at about 15 to 20 minutes into the show. The shows guest spills this particular bucket of beans on, pro-corporation, pro-imperialistic spin, pro-pa-gan-dist…Al-Jazeera.
And on a supporting note regarding Libya reportage, offered by Al-Jazeera and others, please have a look at this article found recently on a collaborative (of sorts) communication network:
http://www.gcnlive.com/wp/2011/07/18/an-urgent-appeal-to-all-who-oppose-...
Also,you have gotta hear the “Flashpoints” report on Libya today, July 19 Tuesday 2011. It backs what Mr. Whitehurst-Berry states in the article referenced above.
Lastly, I am thankful that it is possible for the reporting of worldwide events, to be contrasted here at KPFA. Al-Jazeera has its’ foot-in-the-door here, but there are enough voices telling it how it “REALLY IS” going over there, that each time the foot is placed in the door, it gets SLAMMED by the truth from, OTHER, more CREDIBLE sources, of which there are many and they are from diverse camps with the truth in common. “Al-Jazeera, Where are you?!?”.
This is the complete web link referenced in my previous post above:
http://www.gcnlive.com/wp/2011/07/18/an-urgent-appeal-to-all-who-oppose-...
Below is the complete web link referenced before:
http://www.gcnlive.com/wp/2011/07/18/an-urgent-appeal-to-all-who-
oppose-the-mass-media%e2%80%99s-lies/
If the link is again incomplete in attempt to repost it above, please go to:
www.gcnlive.com and look up the article on Libya and the US/NATO bombing of this citizen oriented "Direct Democracy".
Maybe it is because the sources of contrasting information are so, ...CONTRASTING... so, ... INQUISITIVE... so,...IN-DEPTH...so,...TRUTH-SEEKING... so,...EXPOSE..., such as this following web page identifies with ENLIGHTENING reportage... (refer to minute mark 13:20) :
http://www.youtube.com/user/dallasgoldbug#p/c/C63DA268464E8D86/1/DJ84hAq...

does anyone know the date show or the name of the woman who was on the morning show about a month ago talking about raw food? she mentioned a shake that she makes and she also mentioned a book i believe. i cant remember who she is.
JR Thank you for bringing us information on topics that are generally not discussed in depth in mainstream media. I tuned in this morning and heard your interview on the situation in Haiti. I would suggest inviting guests of varied views so that the audience can get a full picture of what is really going on in Haiti. Your guest, I didn't catch her name (Alona?) presented a one sided and outdated view of current events in Haiti. She repeated the rhetoric often heard from Lavalas supporters and failed to mention any of the positive developments currently going on in Haiti under President Michel Martelly's government. She did not mention the fact that President Martelly met with former President Aristide in an effort to include the Fami Lavalas Party in the current government and bring healing and reconciliation to Haiti.. He also met with former President Preval. This is unprecedented. Haiti needs all of her children. More Haitian artists and artisans are working now than we've seen in a long time. More children are going to school since the government launched its free education program. She also did not mention that at the beginning of Aristide's campaign, many Haitians from all walks of life supported him as they felt he would bring much needed change to Haiti, however somewhere down the line, his message changed and he launched a full fledged attack on the Haitian bourgeoisie and business class in the form of necklacing (placing a tire around a person's body, dousing them with gasoline and setting them on fire) and enticed the people to violence. She also failed to mention that Cite Soleil is gang infested. The gangs who were paid by Aristide and supplied with munitions by Aristide terrorize the people who live in Cite Soleil and were also paid to cause disruption in the capital. They are largely responsible for the rash of kidnappings that we've seen over the past few years. I personally do not support one party over the other, but what's fair is fair and people have the right to hear the whole story. Politics is dirty business, no leader is a saint. We need to tell the whole truth. Keep up the good work. Peace & Blessings.
To me your show constitutes a great example of concrete local news reporting. While Democracy Now may sometimes pursue news gathering into certain wild right wing swamps in America the news that Glen Beck will soon be broad casting from local radio stations (Beach Front Properties com-modified) is extremely worrying. Please express your dismay to your elected representatives and the FCC.

Glen Beck will soon be broad casting from local radio stations..that have always been didicated to local news..

I was saddened to hear that the guest (who works in a circus) this morning (1/11/12) did not see the animals born into the circus business as being abused. Her arguments could very well be used by proponents of human slavery. Just because a being is born into a particular situation does not mean it is the best situation for them. To breed living, feeling beings for a particular purpose is no justification either.
"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men." - Alice Walker
