From NETHERLANDS- As the fighting in Palestine rages, many question who is responsible, and what is the source of despair that has led to the violence. Geo Bush visited Albania and was greeted by some as "god's messenger," for his allegiance to the independence of Kossovo and as a source of money.

There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line at-
http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available at
http://radio.mediageek.net 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 (PST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via <

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)
