WE PROTEST PACIFICA'S NATIONAL LEADERSHIP ACTIONS AND SUPPORT THE DISSENTING BOARD MEMBERS In an action reminiscent of its closing of Berkeley's KPFA in 1999, the Pacifica Foundation's national leadership is now moving against New York's WBAI. The station's managers have been fired, door locks changed in the middle of the night, staffers banned from the station and protesters arrested. Security guards have been brought in to enforce the changes imposed without warning or explanation by Pacifica's Washington, D.C.-based executive director, backed by its board leadership. Another target of the action, Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman, hangs on to her job amid harassment on air and off by Pacifica's national leaders and recently installed station management in New York. Meanwhile, WBAI's newly appointed morning show host has spoken on-air in support of the Pacifica board selling off WBAI. For most of its 50-year history, Pacifica has been a public resource for the progressive community. Recently, a self-selected, unaccountable and secretive board majority has acted as if it owns Pacifica and has ruled by fiat. In the

25. 99.12.hightower.globaloney.html jim hightower commentary contending that globalization represents a global corporate coup against We the People to seize power so that they might reign as sovereigns. http://www.populist.com/99.12.hightower.globaloney.html

JIM HIGHTOWER The WTO and Globaloney In my last book, There's Nothing in the Middle of the Road But Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos , you're allowed an epigram page in which you can kill several trees just to put a single quote on this page and I chose an old cowboy saying out of West Texas that said "Speak the truth but ride a fast horse." And that is, I think, our job, to get out to the American people because we are pretty much the last to know. The media has deliberately, I believe, tried to hide this issue from we the folks because they are conglomerates. Elsewhere around the world ... the WTO, the MAI, the NAFTA and so on are at the center of a major political discussion and we've got a phenomenon in this country where, entering the 2000 elections ... the candidates of the two parties will not address this issue. You're not going to hear George W, you're not going to hear Al Gore, you're not going to hear Bill Bradley get into any conflict at all about this process of globalization. A global corporate coup against We the People is what we're really talking about here a coup to seize power so that they might reign as sovereigns. You say "Hightower, how is it that you come to such a conclusion as that." I say, well, no less a light than Renato Ruggiero has said so. You all know Renato, don't you, a high public official? "We are writing the constitution of a single global economy," said Renato.

26. Interview With Jim Hightower (none) http://www.mojones.com/mother_jones/ND95/smith.html

Interview with Jim Hightower A hellraising Texas radio personality fights to stay on the dial. by Evan Smith Former Texas agriculture commissioner, former editor of the Texas Observer and, now, former radio personality? Jim Hightower hopes not, but even he's not sure what the future holds. Officials of the ABC Radio Networks recently notified the self-described "kick-ass populist" that they were dropping his weekly talk show, "Hightower Radio," which had 1 million listeners across the country. If Hightower can't find a new syndicator, progressives will lose yet another sympathetic voice in the media. On a mild day in early September, shortly after his meeting with ABC Radio, Hightower met with Mother Jones at Las Manitas, Austin's classic Mexican eatery. Over barbacoa tacos, he spokein his distinctive drawlabout his show, Bill Clinton, and the Republicans who would be king. Q So what happened to your show? A : I see the ABC action as the result of what I call the three M's: my message, the merger with Disney, and marketing, or lack thereof. ABC did a terrific job of getting me an initial stable of stationsit's very unusual for someone who's never had radio experience to be able to launch a national show. But in our second year, some of the stations began to balkI believe because of pressure from advertisers. We lost San Diego and St. Paul. At that point, ABC began to get a little antsy about what I was doing. Then came the merger, which, of course, I took on-on the air. The next thing I know I'm hearing ABC is in all kinds of budget meetings. It seems the bean counters were very focused on what was being broadcast. I think somebody higher up began to listen to the show and decided this is not a message for the new Disney/ABC, and that they didn't want to put more money into it.

They were right we truly didn't know how thrilled we'd be. As in, not at all. Rates are up, service is down, and corporate arrogance rules over us consumers.

Home Environs Citizen Jim Hightower Gets the Dirt Out by Jay Walljasper Conscious Choice, December 2001 I am an agitator, and an agitator is the center post in a washing machine that gets the dirt out. Jim Hightower With a best-selling book and two radio shows with millions of listeners across the heartland under his belt, Jim Hightower surely counts as one of America's most influential progressive voices. He leads the charge against economic inequality, political corruption, environmental despoilment, and all manner of prejudice with hard-hitting opinionizing like this: "Some say we need a third party. I say we need a second one." And: "We ought to pass a law that says the board of directors and top management of a company that wants to build a polluting facility anything that spews or burbles would have to live within one hundred yards of that facility." And this: "If Paul Revere were to make his midnight ride now, it is not an invasion by redcoats he would warn us about, but the astonishing assault global corporate powers are making on our liberties, economic fortunes, way of life, and sovereignty." That's pretty strong stuff, especially in a political climate in which politically cautious Bill Clinton was hailed as a crusading idealist, and tepid centrist Michael Kinsley represented the left on TV's

Jim Hightower's Undiluted Populism Benevolent Agitator BY CLAY SMITH February 11, 2000: photo by John Anderson If the Gods Had Meant Us to Vote, They Would Have Given Us Candidates by Jim Hightower HarperCollins, 356 pp., $25 In the course of 356 stunningly hilarious and earnest pages, Hightower, also the author of There' s Nothing in the Middle of the Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos (1997) and a two-term state agriculture commissioner, takes on the status quo in all its stagnant, harmful manifestations, from the cynical, unctuous, political consultants who help ensure that no serious discussion of the issues ever occurs to the self-deluded national media to economic "experts" who propagandize America's supposed economic prosperity. "The impact of this mercenary invasion of American democracy has been devastating," Hightower writes, "reducing elections to computerized cynical exercises in which the people are irrelevant, and such niceties as issues, ethics, and the future of the nation are beside the point." Indoctrination is not Hightower's aim, however. His self-described "undiluted populism" is witty, rousing, and always engaging:

Jim Hightower's Weblog Monday, March 24, 2003 Posted 10:13 AM by Jim Hightower The Cost of War in Iraq: A Checklist The Globalist Donald Rumsfeld, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, may believe that estimating the cost of the war is too difficult. But analysts both inside and outside the U.S. government have made an effort to come up with such estimates anyway. In this Globalist Paper, Anne Richard, a former U.S. budget official, sets out to tally up the bill. On March 6, 2002, during his evening news conference, President Bush was asked why — if the Defense Department has costed out various scenarios for the war against Iraq — the Administration could not present some of them to the American people? Fight now, pay the bill later The President said the Administration would ask Congress for supplemental funding in the event of war — echoing previous statements by senior U.S. Defense Department officials. In other words, after the war is initiated and it becomes too late to influence planning or to change course, the Administration will present Congress with a bill. It’s a bit hard to believe that the Administration cannot be more forthcoming. The U.S. Constitution, after all, requires that spending be sought from Congress — and the numbers made public. Doing so in a

Source: Hightower, Jim. Hard tomatoes, hard times: another view of land grant college research. p. 21-64. In Hard tomatoes, hard times (the original Hightower report Y Schenkman Pub. Co., Cambridge, MA. Discussion of the United States' land grant college system often focuses on the system's achievements. However, in the face of increasing production, an abundant food supply, and relatively low food prices, the question still arises, "Do the benefits of this research outweigh the costs?" Jim Hightower argues that there is reason to believe that they do not. Agricultural research has operated in a way that has benefited agribusiness yet ignored and even harmed most rural people and rural communities. Publicly supported agricultural research is heavily oriented toward the physical and biological production aspects of agriculture, giving much less funding and research personnel to the "people-oriented" aspects of agriculture. The products of this investment are more suited to the interests of agribusiness than to the interests of farmers and agricultural laborers. Research in mechanization, for example, has produced machinery too large and too expensive to be economical on most farms, while displacing agricultural labor.

North Coast Xpress Aug-Sept 97 THIS IS JIM HIGHTOWER SAYING . . . DON'T DUMP ON YUCCA MOUNTAIN Have you noticed that when corporate lobbyists and our lawmakers get together in Washington's back rooms, we hear a great, big wet smooching sound? When they get to romancing, we folks are the ones who get schtooked. Take the case of when the nuclear lobby and congress conspired to choose a spot for dumping all of America's high-level nuclear waste. Well, not exactly. Federal researchers have now discovered that -oops!-even though this is a desert area, the water that does fall out there seeps through the rock fissures to where the waste would be stored not over thousands of years . . . but in only 40 years! And that water could corrode the waste-storage tanks, slowly dissolve the radioactive waste and spread it into the water table that supplies H2O for the people of that whole region. By the way . . . Las Vegas is only 100 miles down the road from Yucca Mountain - talk about gambling! Not to mention that this chosen dump site sits on top of geological fissures, or that all this radioactive waste would be transported by trucks and trains through your towns and cities. There are totally-sustainable and cheaper alternatives to nuclear energy. And since the nuke industry and its congressional playmates don't know how to dispose of the waste safely . . . why keep making the stuff?
