Hello everyone I am Christine lost now and that was just a tiny little snippet from a masterful collection that we're going to be talking about this hour from the Pacifica Radio Archives that was of course Stokely Carmichael in 1968 and that is from the voices that changed the world this is a 2 for one u.s.b. Drive from the Pacifica Radio Archives well over a 1000 hours I believe the last I heard it's close to 1300 hours of content from the Pacifica Radio Archives in. It includes such important collections as the black history collection the women's history collection Pacifica Radio Archives audio books collection as well as Grammy restored recordings exploration with Dr Michio Kaku and so much more and this hour again we're going to be playing just a tiny tiny tiny tiny portion of this this u.s.b. Drive by the way is $64.00 gigabytes again 1300 hours of content from the Pacifica Radio Archives this this content these audio recordings have been masterfully remastered saved from the tapes so to speak in the old days they used to record on the tapes on reel to reel and it's a very painful process to modernize that that has been done from the Pacifica Radio Archives and this collection actually just one of these the collection on cd was offered many years ago from the the archives and it was offered for a donation of $5000.00 just for these recordings on cd 5000 dollars and this hour we're going to be offering this collection not only one you're going to get 2 you're going to get 2 of these for a mere $200.00 pledge. It's incredible $200.00 donation this hour if you call up this number 8189855735818985 k p f k now we're going to be again playing clips from throughout this collection we're going to focus in just a little bit on black history on the black history collection and in particular we're going to be hearing Up next Dr Martin Luther King and this is from a recording that was done in London in 1965 and we're going to find out a little bit about the background history of. All that after we play the clip but I want you to have a little bit of an idea of just the historic nature of what you're going to find on this u.s.b. Drive and again you will get not one but 2 of them for a $200.00 pledge if you call 818-985-5735 now let's listen to Dr Martin Luther King again this is from 1965 and this is available in the voices that change the world to for one u.s.b. Drive this is one of the things that is basic and the nonviolent philosophy at its best. A way and a method of struggle which says that you can secure a mall tomorrow. And also fail that it is possible to struggle against any wrong just system with all your might and with all your heart and even hate that on just system yet you maintain an attitude of active goodwill and understanding and even though for the perpetrators of the system this is the most nerve understood aspect of. This is where those who don't want to follow the nonvolatile method say a lot of bad things that those of us who talk about. Still go on and believe in it . I'm still convinced that it is what makes the world go around. And somehow this kind of love can be appalled holds for social change I'm not talking about a week low. I'm not talking about emotional Bhatia I'm not talking about some sentimental quality I'm not talking about an affectionate response it would be nonsense birds oppressed people to love a bomb to presses in an affectionate sense and I have never advise that when Jesus said Love your enemies I'm happy didn't say like join them it's pretty difficult to like some people but love is greater than life love is understanding created redemptive goodwill for all men. Theologians talk about this kind of love with the Greek word of God which is a thought of overflowing love that seeks nothing in return and when one develops this you rise to the position of being able to love the person who does the evil deed while hating the deed that the person does and I believe that this can be done . Science God says that telling us now that hatred is a dangerous force not merely a father hit but also behave. Many of the strange things that happen in the subconscious many of the inner conflicts are rooted in hate and so they are saying love a parent this is why I ripped from can write a book entitled The heart of loving auguring that love is the supreme unifying force of life. So it is wonderful to have a map of where to. Stand up again. To stand up against colonialism were all of your might and you have not the perpetrators of the. System and I believe firmly. Harmed Apollo mom volunteer. Kind of good organizer good friend America Rocks and we will be able to transform good trying going to score abomination on the world into a beautiful from your broker who are suddenly going to great trout in space you know and that was Dr Martin Luther King in London in 1965 talking you know not about a soft gooey love. But a love of brotherhood a love of humanity and a love that speaks out and and hold those accountable speaks truth to power that was a small tiny clip from a phenomenal collection I'm still happy to have in studio with me joining me the director of the Pacifica Radio Archives Mr Mark Torres Hello Mark I am so happy to be here Christine and this is I think I'm trying to convey to listeners the amazing collection that we have that we're offering in this fund right in this hour the volume of voices like Dr King like Malcolm x. Like so many people I thought it was originally a 1000 hours and you corrected me well what happened was we actually offer this for the 1st time during the Pacifica Radio Archives National Broadcast November 15 we didn't really know what it was going to be how much we could really stuff on there when we finished stuffing. And it turned out to be 13 over 1300 hours so it's 300 more hours you're going to need about 4 months to get through the strait. 24 hours a day to get through all these materials now we with every gift you're going to get a print out of everything that's here we're also giving you a digital Excel spreadsheet because if you want to see what it is Mark Yeah you want to search it by name but you're kind of number by really in a bunch of different things you can do it that way so if you want to just listen to the audio books like we were talking about there is included in this u.s.b. And this very special $1300.00 over 1300 hours of content from the archives included is one of my favorites is the actual reading of 1904 by George Orwell that is like a 12 hour reading it's 13 hours and we also have George Orwell's biographer at the end of the 13th hour in 1984 he came in here to Cape York it was recorded here yeah he came in to k.p. Of k. And he spoke about what George Orwell was all about and he actually fought in the Spanish Civil War with the original fascist Franco right so he had an up close and personal look at what fascism was like and he left his comfortable home in middle class England to go fight against the fascists in Spain and he got to see the dynamics of what was going on and it was from that experience that he drew on to write 1904 Unfortunately he died almost like right after it was published but the resonance of the impact of this book is felt today especially today yeah the sales I think since since the election to I think sales of 94 have also gotten up quite a bit well you know this particular reading though is Charles Morgan the old k p f k morning show host together with voice over genius June for Ray who was like the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon shows but she was Natasha Yeah but she also did she's been in comedy and.

Labeled a communist yet right Stanford University flies them out they want to hear about this person who's preaching about nonviolence I mean that's it's you know not since Gandhi has there been a figure that was completely committed to this yes tactic which early on with Malcolm x. He had a difference of a few years later they came to an agreement but this is really early on this is one of the earliest recordings of Dr Martin Luther King 1957 Stanford University Pacifica Radio was there to record this Wow Wow Let's listen now to Dr Martin Luther King against us from 1957 and this is available to you this is just one tiny little tiny snippet of over 1300 hours of history from the Pacifica Radio Archives yours by calling 829855735 you well remember that it was in the year or 1619. That the 1st slaves landed on the shores of this nation. And they were brought here from the saws of Africa. I'm like the poor Rafal those who landed at Plymouth a year later. They were brought here guns are wheels. And throughout slavery the negro was treated in a very human. Fashion. He was a thing to be. Not a person to be respected. He was merely a depersonalized a cause. And a vast plantation machine the famous Dred Scott decision of 1857 well illustrates the status of the Negro during slavery. Brenda's decision the United States Supreme Court said in substance. That the Negro is not a citizen of this nation he is merely a property subject to the dictates of his own. And with the growth of slavery it became necessary to give some justification for it. It seems to be a fact of life that human beings cannot continue to do wrong without eventually reaching out for some rationalization. Which ends up holding an obvious wrong and a beautiful garments of righteousness. And this is exactly what happened. And the men of the slave almost face the danger. That forever confronts religion on a 2 literalistic interpretation of the Bible. That is a danger that religion and the Bible not properly interpret it will be used as instruments to crystallize the status quo and this is exactly what happened. It was obvious from pulpits across the nation that the negro was inferior by nature because no one was curse upon the children of ham. Paul the victim became a watchwords be obedient to your master. And one of the ministers have probably. Read something of the logic of Aristotle and so he could put his argument and a form comparable to an heiress totally in syllogism. And you could say all man made in the image of God That's a major premise then comes a lie and a premise God as everybody knows is not a Negro then comes a conclusion. For the Negro is not 1 a man. This was the type of reasoning. This was a type of reasoning that prevail living under these conditions. Men and negroes lost 'd faith in themselves. When it came to feel that perhaps they were less than human. The tragedy of physical slavery is that it always leads to the paralysis of mental slavery so long as the Negro accepted this place assigned to him there subservient attitude. As alteration of peace was maintained. But it was an uneasy peace and which integral was forced patiently to accept and just as an exploitation it was a negative piece that was not positive peace because true peace is not merely the absence of some negative force but the presence of some positive force through peace is not merely the absence of tension but the presence of justice that was I know that this is content to folks that you're not going to find anywhere else this is that was Dr Martin Luther King in 1957 before he spoke out against the war in Vietnam and really became an enemy of the state I mean it was one thing for him to talk about civil rights and you know the effects of slavery the effects of racism and bigotry and the violence that was I mean let's face in 1057 you it wasn't safe to be a black person anywhere in this country right really because the racism was so was so bad and yet and what his words what he's saying is so relevant to today with the stoking of racial division as we see with our current political system as well yeah we have if we're divided we cannot defeat the one percent and they are pitting us against each other and right now it's very successful I was just taking a look at the hate crimes that happened in this last week and it's shocking what's taking place just documented hate crimes that are taking place not like in the south not like somewhere in the Midwest I'm talking like Los Angeles Orange County right here in Southern California it's very scary that we're having to really live a situation that we had hoped we had already gone through 50 years ago so we can learn from the wisdom of Dr Martin Luther King the only way they can do we can do that is if you listen to him in his own voice.

The Ministry of Truth contained it was said $3000.00 rooms above ground level and corresponding ramifications below scattered about London there were just 3 other buildings of similar appearance and size and so completely did they'd waft the surrounding architecture that from the roof of victory mansions you can see all 4 of them simultaneously. They were the homes of the 4 ministries between which the entire apparatus of government was divided the Ministry of Truth which concerned itself with new at a tame and education in the Fine Arts the ministry of peace which concerned itself with war the Ministry of Love which maintain law and order and the Ministry of plenty which was responsible for economic affairs as their names in news speak many true many packs many love and many plenty the Ministry of Love was the really frightening one there were no windows in it at all. Winston had never been inside the ministry of love nor within half a kilometer of it it was a place impossible to her except on official business and then only by penetrating through a maze of bob wire entanglements steel doors and hidden machine gun nests and even the streets leading up to its outer barriers were roamed by guerrilla faced gods in black uniforms to a joint a drunk sions that was a clip from the reading that was done right here was recorded right here k p f k many moons ago of George Orwell's 1984 the u.s.b.

During this information and propaganda act you see how on television everybody is all up in arms about fake news oh this fake news oh Russia is interfering with this and that and isn't it interesting that the the language is also so vague these the bully it is the government is going to tell you that this news is the real truth and anything else is going to be passed off as distant from ation or propaganda that smells to me not only a lot like Big Brother but of complete control and stifling of dissent to stifling of different analysis Pacifica Radio is progressive nonprofit radio network I wonder where we fall in on this decision for mation and propaganda we're going to have our hands full ladies and gentleman and you best be prepared and the best way to be prepared is by knowing our history the Pacifica foundation has been broadcasting 20 years before n.p.r.

More than ever he had the air of a teacher taking pains with a wayward but promising child. Is a party slogan dealing with the control of the past repeated if you please who controls the past controls the future who controls the present controls the past. Winston repeated it obediently. Who controls the present controls the past said O'Brien nodding his head was slow approval. Is it your opinion Winston that the past has real legal systems. Again the feeling of helplessness descended upon Winston in his eyes flitted toward the dial e. Not only did not know whether yes or no was the answer that would save him from pain he did not even know what chance or he believed to be the true one O'Brien smiled faintly you know metaphysician Winston. Until this moment you have never considered what is meant by existence I don't put of not precisely does the past exist concretely in space is there somewhere or rather a place the world of solid objects where the past is still happening. No Then where does the past exist if at all in the courts it's written down. In records and in the mind in human memories. In memory Very well then when the party control all records. And we control all memories and then we control the past do we not. But how can you stop people remembering things cried Winston again momentarily forgetting the dial but some voluntary it is outside oneself how can we control memory you have not control mind. O'Brien's manner grow Stern again he laid his hand on the dial. On the contrary he said you have not controlled it. That is what has brought you here you have a casual failed in humility and self-discipline you would not make the act of submission which is the price of sanity preferred to be alluded to a minority of $1.00. Only the disciplined mind can see reality Winston. You believe that reality is something objectively external existing in its own right you also believe that the nature of reality is self-evident when you do you do yourself into thinking that you see something you assume that everyone else sees the same thing as you but I tell you once to in that reality is not the external reality exists in the human mind and nowhere else not in the individual mind which can make mistakes and in any case perish is only in the mind of the paré which is collective and mortal and whatever the thought it hope is to be truth is truth it is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the party that. Is the fact that you have to rely when stood it needs an act of self destruction and effort of the will you must yourself before you can become sane Oh my. Just got the chills big time Marc I feel like I'm listening to like one of the campaign speech. I was I'm just I was as this like you say one thing and then you hear somebody say something completely different as this was playing to I was just looking at my notes here on my on my phone in the you know this whole thing about countering dissin for mation and propaganda act and and how they're going.

To. Surviving the Holocaust. Stories of life. Erika Fabian I was born in Budapest Hungary and I'm a Holocaust survivor my mother said take you upstairs but before we go up stairs you have to learn your new names and if anybody asks you have to tell them that you're a Protestant. It was interesting because Hungary is primarily a Catholic country so being a Protestant wasn't the best thing but it was far better than being a Jew and she said we had a new birth she explained. You know what I guess when your life is in danger and you're 4 years old you understand that you understand a lot more than a normal 4 year old who was brought up like a child I wasn't brought up like a child I had some earlier experiences at age 30 that taught me. Right for it's very hard so as a result I just took it for granted whatever my mother said that's what we were going to do to save our lives basically and she told me if I said that I was Jewish we would get killed so I knew that I had to be very careful.
