This edition features news and opinions from Radio Netherlands, Radio Deutsche Welle, China Radio International, the Voice of Russia, and Radio Havana Cuba. From Netherlands- India has declared an end to its cease-fire with Kashmir; the US and Britain have a proposal for ending the sanctions against Iraq; and the allegedly biggest trafficker of the drug Ecstasy, an Israeli, is arrested in Spain with a US warrant. From Deutsche Welle's Man and Environment- a UN meeting is being held in Stockholm to make a pact to stop using 12 Persistant Organic Pollutants. Greenpeace has been protesting the disposal of these chemicals. From China Radio International- environmental groups in Sri Lanka want the US to "stop dumping" genetically-modified foods in their country, which has a ban in place against the importing of g-m foods. Then a press review- an editorial on Virtue, a report on unemployment and redundancy, and pickpockets in the subway. I put this in for curiosity. From the Voice of Russia, a commentary on Bush Jr's handling of established international treaties like the Kyoto Protocols, the ABM treaty, and the International Conventions on Biological Weapons. Also a delegation of European government ministers went to Washington to ask that Echelon, the US based global surveillance network, cease to exist. They were ignored. From Radio Havana Cuba- big worker protests in Argentina continue after weeks of blocking traffic; Cuba held a roundtable on the "subversive intent" of the new FTAA plans; workers are organizing around Latin America to protest the Free Trade Agreement; economic protests in the Dominican Republic escalate to guns and bombs; Bush Jr announces his opposition to lifting sanctions on Cuba; Bush Jr has some playmates over for dinner. All these intriguing stories plus times and frequencies for English-language broadcasts. I would really appreciate your comments, and an email if you air this program. The show is weekly, with a new edition up each Friday morning by 9am PDST. The next edition will be up on June 1st. The actual file location is: www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/swr_5_25_01.mp3

WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT.

the post above (the one that says things I WILL NOT REPEAT even to ID it)



If this is not removed, I am worried for the safety of all of us planning to go to the Hotel on Tuesday.



I address agents of the State here, who are monitoring this site:



THE POST IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ANYONE BUT THE SICK IGNORAMOUS WHO POSTED IT.



TO USE THIS AS A JUSTIFICATION TO SQUELCH ANY FREE SPEECH ACTIVITIES HERE IN LA WOULD BE A DISASTER!



I suspect it has been posted in a deliberate attempt to provide exactly sush a rationale for supression of our Free Speech rights on Tuesday and around the entire upcoming tour of the Shrub through our region.



I stand in total dissasscociation from this sickeningly stupidpiece of trash.



peace, struggle and upfront honest committment to nonviolence!
