The History Hour - The History Hour - Germany’s medieval federalism and the “normalcy “ of England
English Canadians like himself, says host Charles Jeanes, have been taught in school that Germany has a special problem in its history. Jeanes tries to dispel this viewpoint. German federalism and weak centralization under emperor-kings was normal for the Germans, and England did not have some supposed "natural" path to unity under one king. Notes on recent brain research and consciousness related to neuronal activity. Music by Tracey Morgan, Canadian C&W singer.

World Report - Algonquins win appeal to protest mineral exploration
Back in February 2008, Robert Lovelace, retired Chief of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation, was sentenced to six months in a maximum security prison for refusing to obey a court order which banned peaceful protest against uranium exploration on his community’s territory in eastern Ontario. Shortly after, World Report interviewed Donna Dillman, the settler grandmother who had fasted between October and December to protest against uranium exploration in the same part of Ontario. This week the Ontario Court of Appeal overturned the conviction of Lovelace and six others on related charges..

Fane of the Cosmos - FANE…BE HEAR NOW…THE FASCISTS SCOOP A WAR RESISTER FROM OUR HEARTS
On this weeks show I play some interviews from the Pro war resister Rally at the Nelson City Police Station. Some very inspiring words from the dukes and some usual thinking from the Legion hecklers. In the end we are left with one thing. Give our Robin back to us, you fucking fascists. A side note, the largest media site in the states called the deportation an extradition. Typical. Seeing Percy Schmeiser at the brilliant cultural Centre is also mentioned in the show. Natural Alchemy backs me up on some great listening that includes Terence McKenna talking about UFO’s and Aldous Huxley reviewing the possibilities and happenings of his works and George Orwell's 1984 in relation to control by the state and the brain control methods used. Our music spans from edit to New Pornographers to Michael Franti. Yeah! Thanks to Natural Alchemy. The download is coming soon.

Universal Traveller - Universal Traveller - Surrendering Attachment
U.T. I got a lot of positive feedback on this show, I heard it myself 6 times! Subjects: 1)Surrendering attachment to reduce suffering and to open the mind to hearing intuition more clearly. Be whole unto thyself. External gratifications are short lived, illusory and ultimately unfulfilling, be what you want, be peace-full and you won't feel empty. 2) Bridging the worlds of material planes and astral realms.

Universal Traveller - Univeral Traveller - The Monkey Wavespell, the Mystic core of the causal planes, resolving duality
This episode is based upon the resolution of duality through, primarily, the mirror of the causal, the mystic column, the core of the tree of life. Triality means integrating polarities to create strength, stop resiting 'what is' and utilize 'it' instead. Try-all-ity, is an innocent place of curious open mindedness, and after all, "the meek inherit the Earth", because, in part, 'they' are open to see, 'they' have not closed of their vision with labels or limitations or conditioned beliefs of what 'it' simply is. Identify not with angles or parts but rather with wholeness and interconnectedness. Healing relationship dramas by accepting individual choices.
