Dear Radio Friend,
            The latest Shortwave Report (July 21) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both broadcast quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (3.3MB) (29:00)
     This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio Netherlands, Spanish National Radio, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
From CHINA- N Korea has decided to halt reunions of families separated by the border, a response to S. Korea stopping aid after the recent missile tests. Then a report from Lebanon where Israeli attacks are destroying much of the infrastructure- the French UN ambassador and others are trying to intervene.
From NETHERLANDS- More on Lebanon- first a reporter on the ground describes the scene in Beirut, while commenting on Israel's long list of targets and the US government’s permission to show no restraint. Then Lebanon’s Social Affairs Minister accuses Israel of targeting food warehouses and factories, while pointing out that Hizbollah does not represent the Lebanese people. Amnesty International reports that more than 2000 women and girls have been murdered in Guatemala since 2001, and that the police and courts are not solving these crimes.
  From SPAIN- Chile's Supreme Court has reopened its human rights case against former dictator Pinochet. Ecuador has extended its ban against former President Guiterrez running for public office. Residents of Sao Paulo Brazil are overwhelmingly in favor of the use of the military to stop gang violence.
 From CUBA- In Mexico, the tension following the questionable results of the Presidential election continued to rise, as over a million people protested in Mexico City- candidate Obrador called for citizens to use civil disobedience to force a ballot by ballot recount.
From RUSSIA- Former Russian Prime Minister Primakov said that the Israeli attacks in Gaza and Lebanon are more than a response to the kidnappings by Hizbollah and Hamas- it is an attempt to create an all-out war in the region.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line at- http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves  Â
  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 afternoon at 4:30pm (PDST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via <http://www.kzyx.org >
There are several other streams that work better- < http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz  now streams this program on Friday at 9:00am (PDST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from < http://www.radio4all.net >
Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org >
And the Partytown streams are great and informative- <http://www.partytown.com/radio >
I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I am still wondering how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I put into this program weekly- any ideas are appreciated. Any stations rebroadcasting this (or listeners) are welcome to donate for production costs. You can do so through the website. Many thanks to those that have donated! No Guilt! (maybe a little)

War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
