Crony capitalism, Iran and the impending oil war
On tonight's show I am joined by Josh Jackson, to discuss the escalating middle east crisis in the wake of news that the Iranian oil bourse will start trading oil in currencies other than the dollar from March 20.
This development is discussed in the context of the crony capitalist system, which uses currency manipulation as the base tool for global domination.
We reflect on the possibility that the Iranian "nuclear threat" was concocted in order to provide a justifiable cover for obliterating Iran, whose real threat to the west is in its economic power, derived from the fact that Iran holds the third largest oil reserves in the world.
The ruthlessness of the plan of the globalist powers to destroy Iran is highlighted in the attempt to overthrow the Syrian government - one of Iran's strongest allies in the region.
We look at the way in which news coverage of events in Syria is in effect war propaganda designed to provide cover for the brutal intentions of the US and its allies, all driven by the fear of Iran's economic power.
We put forward the proposition that it is time for all honest citizens of western counries to stand up and demand that their governments desist from this criminal agenda..

I’m gonna stand my ground and I won’t back down!
Tonight I am joined by lawyer and human rights advocate Rochelle Macredie.
In the show we take a look at some of the major breaking stories in the news and Rochelle gives her analysis of what is required to roll back the march towards war and tyranny which we see unfolding across the world right now.
In the second half Rochelle presents some of her research into a bizarre phenomenon known as "animal mutilation".
From wikipedia:
A hallmark of these incidents is the surgical nature of the mutilation, and unexplained phenomena such as the complete draining of the animal's blood, loss of internal organs with no obvious point of entry, and surgically precise removal of the reproductive organs and anal coring. Another reported event is that the animal is found dumped in an area where there are no marks or tracks leading to or from the carcass, even when it is found in soft ground or mud. The surgical-type wounds tend to be cauterized by an intense heat and made by very sharp/precise instruments, with no bleeding evident. Often flesh will be removed to the bone in an exact manner, consistent across cases, such as removal of flesh from around the jaw exposing the mandible.
Since the time that reports of purported animal mutilations began, the causes have been attributed variously to natural decomposition, normal predators, cryptid predators (like the Chupacabra), extraterrestrials, secretive governmental or military agencies, and cults. "Mutilations" have been the subject of two independent federal investigations in the United States.
David Cayton who is featured heavily in the film ''Silent Killers'' is interviewed by Theo Chalmers of Edge Media Television. The interview marks the launch of the film which explores a very disturbing subject known as animal mutilation:
I hope you enjoy the show!

Obama Signs the NDAA Citizen Arrest Act
Obama signing the National Defense Appropriations Act
Tonight we look at a variety of local and international stories, with a focus on the ominous passing of the National Defense Appropriations Act (NDAA). The Act allows for the military detention of American citizens without due process, about which writer and activist Naomi Wolf has this to say:
Our leaders appear to be supporting this bill thinking that they will always be what they are now, in the fading light of a once-great democracy — those civilian leaders who safely and securely sit in freedom and DIRECT the military. In inhabiting this bubble, which their own actions are about to destroy, they are cocooned by an arrogance of power, placing their own security in jeopardy by their own hands, and ignoring history and its inevitable laws. The moment this bill becomes law, though Congress is accustomed, in a weak democracy, to being the ones who direct and control the military, the power roles will reverse: Congress will no longer be directing and in charge of the military: rather, the military will be directing and in charge of individual Congressional leaders, as well as in charge of everyone else — as any Parliamentarian in any society who handed this power over to the military can attest.
Perhaps Congress assumes that it will always only be ‘they’ who are targeted for arrest and military detention: but sadly, Parliamentary leaders are the first to face pressure, threats, arrest and even violence when the military obtains to power to make civilian arrests and hold civilians in military facilities without due process. There is no exception to this rule. Just as I traveled the country four years ago warning against the introduction of torture and secret prisons – and confidently offering a hundred thousand dollar reward to anyone who could name a nation that allowed torture of the ‘other’ that did not eventually turn this abuse on its own citizens — (confident because I knew there was no such place) — so today I warn that one cannot name a nation that gave the military the power to make civilian arrests and hold citizens in military detention, that did not almost at once turn that power almost against members of that nation’s own political ruling class. This makes sense — the obverse sense of a democracy, in which power protects you; political power endangers you in a militarized police state: the more powerful a political leader is, the more can be gained in a militarized police state by pressuring, threatening or even arresting him or her.
I am joined in the second segment by John Bursill, who reports on some new research from the Journal of 9/11 Studies.

2012: what’s in store?
Tonight I am joined by psychologist Karla Cryer as we look forward to the coming "Year of the Dragon" and try to anticipate what is likely to unfold on the world stage.
Some topics we address include the familiar, such as the looming attack on Iran, global financial collapse and the Nanny State clamp down. We also look at the psychological mechanisms which hold people back and hinder progress towards real social change.
May we wish a happy New Year and Peace to all living beings!

China, Iran and the new axis of evil
We lead tonight with news that Google is pulling out of China, amid renewed threats from top US military figures against Iran. We analyse these developments with an eye to the bigger picture of geoplitical strategy and note that this is bound to strengthen ties between China and Iran, as the stand-off over Iran's nuclear capability heightens.
We also bring you an excerpt from Gerald Celente's trend forecast for 2010.
In the second half we take a look at some Australian stories, including new laws banning alcohol on Australia day, and government bans on "smoko breaks".

It runs on water!
Ashtweth runs two websites which we commend to our listeners:
What is "Free Energy"?
This is a highly controversial term, even amongst those who believe it is possible to extract large and useful amounts of energy by unconventional means. The word Free could imply there is no cost and is somehow magical. That is not correct, perhaps cheap is a better term; and the well-documented science behind many of them certainly is not magic. These devices will of course cost money, and there will be significant limitations to their efficiency and effectiveness; especially until they are developed further.
Free also pertains to the fact that they are all pollution free, using no external chemical fuels and often requiring much less electricity to operate than they output (or least being much more efficient than traditional means). But perhaps the most accurate use of the word Free would relate to the change in society that these inventions would bring: Freedom from the electrical grid and filling stations Freedom from an economy built on scarcity. And freedom from the need to pollute our planet to maintain a high level of civilization.

For an introduction to the core ideas behind the various technologies discussed in the show I recommend the documentary It runs on water which was aired on British television in 1995.
In the second half of tonight's show we examine the explosive implications of statements made recently by the U.S. Vice President Jo Biden to the effect that Israel has a "sovereign right" to attack Iran. These statements were made in an interview with George Stephanopoulos aired on ABC television (U.S) on 5 July.

Review - "The International"
In the final segment of the show I review the film "The International", with a short clip and some commentary.
Film trivia: An explosive shootout scene takes place inside New York's famous Guggenheim Museum, in which the museum appears to take severe damage. To film the scene, the film's production team used the Guggenheim's original blueprints to build a full-size replica of its interior in an old abandoned locomotive warehouse. Construction of the replica took 4 months.
