On tonight’s show I have as my guest Dr. Frank Legge, a regular contributor to the Journal of 9/11 Studies, and co-author of the peer reviewed paper, “Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe“.

In the interview Dr. Legge presents some of his own research and general insights into the many controversies surrounding the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

A very important broadcast - not to be missed!

In the second half I am joined once again by Dr. Legge and Josh Jackson to discuss various issues of the day.

Godwin GrechTonight we lead with the OzCar scandal which has been dominating the news in Australia for the past week.

At the risk of exhausting our listeners’ patience I attempt to break down and analyse the entire debacle, which is very complicated indeed.

Not surprisingly, the conclusions we reach in the show diverge somewhat from mainstream media commentary.

In the second half, Josh gives us a review of the sci-fi fantasy film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. We aim to make film reviews a regular part of the show from here on in, so, if you like movies, please keep an eye on TNRA.

Other issues covered in the show include the “phone in a bikie” campaign launched in W.A., and the ongiong controversy over tasers after the revelation that a man in QLD was tased by police 28 times before dying of a heart attack.

Tonight’s lead story is the (literally) shocking story of large scale, government-sanctioned electro convulsive “therapy” (ECT) being meted out to the most vulnerable in our society - and all funded by YOUR tax dollars.

The facts are clear and stark - our Medicare health system is being used to fund cruel and unusual violence, perpetrated against children and the elderly in State run hospitals. We intend to follow up this story with more investigation and (hopefully) some interviews.

We begin the show with an interview with Chris Tolland of the Sydney 9/11 Action group. In the second half I am joined by Josh Jacskon to cover the ECT story and other current news, including the state of debate over the government’s proposed Emissions Trading Scheme.

My Mum and JFK

Posted: June 8th, 2009

Shirley FentonTonight’s show consists of an interview with my mother, Shirley Fenton, which I conducted in 2005 at her home in Canberra.

The subject of the interview is the Kennedy assassination which occured while my parents were living in Bakersfield, California. For many years as a child I heard discussions featuring the “grassy knoll” and “patsies” without really understanding the meanings.

Like many people, I watched Oliver Stone’s JFK when it was released in 1992 - but this was about events already in the sepia tones of history - interesting but seemingly of no real importance for understanding the present.  This is what I thought - but I was wrong.

I now know that the assassination of Kennedy has everything to do with contemporary events. Unless we understand what really happened on that day, no less than on September 11, 2001 , and indeed take steps to restore the principles of justice, liberty and democracy, our civilisation may well be doomed.

The first part of this interview consists of Shirley’s memories and impresssions of the Kennedy era, the effect of the assassination on her generation, and her perception of who was really responsible for the killing.

In the second half we look at the Vietnam war and the protest movement in which both of my parents were involved.

Shirley is a published author, and some of her books are listed below:

The Forgotten Ones: Women and Children under Nippon by Shirley F. Huie Softcover, Haldane Mason, Limited, ISBN 0207170770 (0-207-17077-0)

Ships’ Belles: The Story of the Women’s Royal Australian Naval Service 1941 - 1985 by Shirley Fenton Huie Hardcover, Watermark Press, The, ISBN 0949284475 (0-949284-47-5)

Someone Else’s Country : Living in Suharto’s Indonesia by Shirely Fenton Huie Softcover, Asian Studies Book Services, ISBN 1740760379 (1-74076-037-9)

Tonight’s show consists of an extended discussion with my regular guests Josh Jackson (a media professional) and John Bursill (a registered aircraft engineer) on a number of topics which focus on the way in which News outlets and advertising work hand in hand to keep us in the dark and willing  to believe virtually anything we are told.

We lead with three Australian stories, relevant links are provided below:

On tonight’s show I have as my guest Bob Phelps, executive director of  Gene Ethics, an Australian activist organisation working towards “a more equitable and more sustainable GM-free society”.

Mission Statement (from www.geneethics.org):

Gene Ethics is a non-profit educational network of citizens and kindred groups. We want the precautionary principle, scientific evidence and the law rigorously applied to all proposed uses of genetic manipulation (GM) technologies and their products.

Gene Ethics generates and distributes accurate information and analysis on the ethical, environmental, social and economic impacts of GM. Our education programs critically assess GM for the public, policy-makers and interest groups.

Australia’s historical fertility rate

Posted: May 3rd, 2009

The following graph is a little out of date, but it was all I could find after a quick search. I invite feedback from those who assert that Australia is in need of a radical one-child policy:

“The ageing of the population is caused by two factors. Firstly, Australian families are, on average, having fewer children. Birth rates started declining in the late 1960s, and have been falling ever since (Chart A1). For the last 20 years or so the birth rate has fallen below the replacement rate — meaning that without migration Australia’s population would eventually begin to fall.”
