Hour One

Michael Clark will be with us to talk about how ordinary people can enjoy the security today only available to the wealthy. Clark calls it a short lesson in reality. We have all seen it happen to those around us. We are one lawsuit, one heart attack, or one car accident away from losing everything they own…
  • Medical debt…the result of a heart attack, stroke, cancer, monthly prescriptions, Alzheimer’s, etc…is the number one cause of bankruptcy and foreclosure…you have no control!
  • Litigation…lawsuits are the number two method of acquiring wealth. If you own assets, you are a target. The more successful you are, the bigger target you become…you have no control!
  • Identity theft…the fastest growing crime in the world. It can cost thousands of dollars, and hundreds of hours trying to prove your innocence…and many still end up losing everything they own and filing for bankruptcy…you have no control!
  • Other ways of instantly losing control of your life…a serious automobile accident, nursing home spend-down, personal or business bankruptcy, government-IRS lien or seizure, death/probate, and much, much more…YOU HAVE NO CONTROL!
Michael knows how to protect himself – and how you can get real protection.





Hour Two
Ethan Stewart is Senior News Reporter/Staff Writer for the Independent, the feisty local paper for Santa Barbara, California, founded in 1966. Ethan will give us an update on the ongoing war against local sovereignty, and medicinal marijuana in Santa Barbara where pharmacies are being raided by the Feds despite the legality of use mandated by the voters of California.

Disenchanted by the hypocrisy and corruption which have invaded the Conservative Movement, Mr. Borchers founded Citizens for Principled Conservatism in the fall of 2001. In his role as Founder and President of CPC, Mr. Borchers seeks to reinvigorate principles and ideals within the Conservative Movement and he views the extremist elements within that Movement as both dangerous and self-destructive.
Citizens for Principled Conservatism is a nationwide network of citizens seeking the restoration of conservative principles and ideals, goals and behavior within the Conservative Movement. We believe that the exaltation of extremist elements within the Conservative Movement is emblematic of the moral and ideological corruption which has invaded Conservatism. CPC seeks to counter this dangerous development.

Hours One & Two

Helen Garland



Unknown Soldiers is a book about surviving war, but returning from conflict, wounded in ways not visible to the eye. This has been the fate of soldiers for eons. Today, it is not just soldiers who are impacted. It is all of us, impacted by the war made on us by our own government.

Joe Garland, the author, wrote a book which told his own story, using it so we could understand what he faced during war and in its aftermath.

Woven into the narrative is also a love story told through letters written from the field. The woman about whom he wrote, the wife who was with him when he died, will be with us today to talk about the book, about Joe, and about the wounds which never healed.

This is a book about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Joe was very aware of how different he was after he returned. It never changed for him or for his friends. The fear and pain remained with them. Joe died late last year, having written 29 books, this the last and only book about his experiences.

On the website for the book, Wounded Warriors, you can hear the voices of Joe Garland and his friends, now gone, talking about experiences which stayed with them, reframing their lives in ways none of them imagined when they joined, moved by love of their country.

The paper in Gloucester, Massachusetts closed down to honor Joe when he died. He was the man who wrote history, making it immediate and real.

Below is an article which ran in the Gloucester this last Memorial Day.


MEMORIAL DAY 2012
 
From Helen Garland
 
Dorothy Nelson and the Writer's Center asked that I read from Joe Garland's book about his World War Two War - "Unknown Soldiers."
 
Reviewing Joe's book, three themes emerged. 
 
The first on page XV of the introduction entitled "Up Front" reveals the burdens of Post Traumatic Stress, Guilt and the age old confusions of Fathers and  Sons.  Joe refers to his long held fear that his medically connected father had intervened to prevent Joe frombeing sent back into action after his hospitalization in Italy.
 
"Thus the letdown of my buddies back on the front, thus the "guilt," thus the book."
 
The second theme emerges throughout his book as he refers to my role as a war time pen pal and his letters to his parents.  That is,  the effect of any war on generations of family and
of visions of Love and Real Life as a balance against the fears and horrors of his war.
 
The third theme emerged when Martin Ray and his family visited soon after Joe's death in the hope of finding the right words to express why Joe's book exemplified both the nobility of service as well as the dangers.  We decided that if the purpose of any war is noble, then the manner in which the war is conducted must be equally noble, otherwise, the results include the destruction of whole generations.
 
Then hauntingly, a poem on page 6 brings all these themes home for Gloucester.  Joe quotes his father's stunning skill with the written word, taught him at his school on Dale Avenue opposite the Post Office at the turn of the century and in l915 at Harvard.  Dr. Garland was contemplating the carnage of World War I when he wrote:
 
"A sovereign speaks a word; princes command,
 And war, black as the plague, spreads through the land
 
You are the pawn, moved by a mightier hand;
You are the Christian martyr, living brand
That lights the kingly orgy of that king
To whom YOU homage bring.
This is your lot, oh Common  Man; is it your choice?
When war takes all do YOU rejoice ----
Father and brother and livelihood,
Leaving all evil where was once all good?
Another commands your destiny.
Are you less fitted for that task than he?
Freedom and life are offered you; now choose,
Not overlong debate, nor yet refuse,
And when the stricken land raises its head,
May you, rising from burial of your dead,
Stand by your brother, teaching him to see ---
YOU the director of your destiny."
 
Finally Joe back again on page XV relates again to Gloucester  and the third theme of WAR itself.
 
The Gloucester Town meeting of December 15, 1773 voted as one "for freedom from a distant, contemptuous, arbitrary and rather stupid emperor across three thousand miles of ocean" saying:
 
"If we are compelled to make the last appeal to Heaven, we will defend our resolutions and liberties at the expense of all that is dear to us" 
 
And so we must consider both the ends and the conduct of the means.”

PTSD has always been a cost of war. Today, we consider it as a means of controlling us.

It might have been Edward Bernays who noticed returning vets from World War I were far less able to confront authority than others who protested injustice, or this strategy could have occurred to one of his replacements after Vietnam.

Bernays wanted a complacent population and PTSD has become a means of obtaining this end.

The conditions of war, the emotional trauma and uncertainty, constant fear, have become endemic here, on our own shores through the war waged on us by government and corporations economically, socially, and through the constant attrition of fear. TSA, monitoring, police brutality, the loss of homes, jobs, the lack of medical care, and the hope of justice.

We must take action. Action begins with understanding. Helen Garland, Joe's wife, tells a story of survival which brings hope. Her story is touching, powerful, and needs to be read. Don't miss it.

 Drones threaten both us and people around the world. Making war remote and impersonal puts it firmly in the hands of the corporations and must be stopped. With host Melinda Pillsbury-Foster explore the roots of the issues which made it possible for the corporations to install their own operating system in our courts, in the economy, in government, and in all other parts of our lives. Rebecca Potter will be with us on another important issue, this being how you, as an individual, can fight back in the court system and win. It is happening. Her story about a toll ticket which represented hundreds of dollars to the state of Florida as a tool of extortion, will show you what to do for yourself. 
 
  This is our Mission and we pursue it relentlessly.
