By skipping from clips of the show to commentary we cover the full genesis from the discovery of a drug to its eventual banning and then relegalization. Funny and educational. In the studio we have special guest…Natural Alchemy spinning the tunes. Enjoy! (we had a tough time with techie stuff this show so be patient.) Mon, 7 Apr 2008 01:19:24 PST current affairs, news, Canada, Nelson, British Columbia On this weeks show we discuss the recent decision by the Conservative Government not to honour a deal worked out by American prosecutors and Marc Emerys lawyers. We compare the charter violations of Omar Khadr and the Marc Emery extradition and how in both cases the Conservative government bows down to American influence. Marc Emery is facing life in jail in the United States when the same charge is 1 month in Canada. Omar Khadr has been in Guantanamo bay since he was 15 and recently had his charter rights violated when Canadian officials gave their interrogation records to their… Mon, 31 Mar 2008 01:12:23 PST current affairs, news, Canada, Nelson, British Columbia The true history of Easter....Orgies, Hemp Beer and Rabbit Stew. This is a rebroadcast from 2005 with Reverand Damuzi. We cover the unusual holiday named Easter. How does an Easter bunny play into the resurrection of Christ?? Easter myths from Egypt to Babylonia. The true origin of the Bavarian Purity Laws in the making of beer and how the Church wanted to eliminate the use of psychedelic ingredients from the brew. We dash like a rabbit all over the spring ceremonies and rituals…oh such fun! We even talk about international drug war and how the powers want a unified drug policy in Canada, U.S. and Mexico. This s a great… Sun, 23 Mar 2008 19:11:23 PST current affairs, news, Canada, Nelson, British Columbia Why Marc Emery isn't going to get extradited, why St. Paddy was a jerk, How to avoid "Activist Burnout" On this weeks show we look into the history and culture behind St. Paddy’s Day with local Irish hero Paddy Roberts. We discuss his continuing court case in the B.C. Court of Appeal relating to the charges he laid against Marc Emery and his co-defendants. A great discussion on the legal process, and the ramifications for the Canadian and American governments. In the end I don’t think Marc Emery will be extradited and he will have to stand trial for the charges in Canada. Paddy and I have a general discussion where we analyze the use of force in civil… Sun, 16 Mar 2008 18:30:23 PST current affairs, news, Canada, Nelson, British Columbia This week we celebrate the women in our community a day after International Women's Day. We have interviews (2005) with Susan Boyd. Susan Boyd teaches courses on drug law and policy, theory and research methodology. Her research interests include drug law and policy, maternal-state conflicts, film and print media representations, women in conflict with the law and research methodology. She is a community activist who works with harm reduction and anti-drug war groups. We discuss her book "From Witches to Crack Moms: Women, Drug Law and Policy." We also interview Wennifer Curry a survivor of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) a debilitating… Sun, 9 Mar 2008 16:13:23 PST current affairs, news, Canada, Nelson, British Columbia On this weeks show we discuss the passage of Bill C-2 through the Canadian Senate and then into law. The passage of a bill by coercion on part of the Conservative Party, threatening an election over the bill, is a serious blow to democracy in Canada. The fact that the Liberals, with a majority in Senate, acquiesced to the Conservatives demands is a further indicator of the dire political situation. We also discuss the Supreme court ruling dealing with mandatory Minimums. Without one dissenting vote the Supreme Court of Canada upheld the use of mandatory minimums in Canadian Law and… Sun, 2 Mar 2008 17:54:23 PST current affairs, news, Canada, Nelson, British Columbia FANE GETS ITS BRAIN MAPPED…. FEBRUARY 10, 2008 On Fane this week I get my brain mapped and explained by the new Brain Harmony Center in Nelson. An amazing new technology that will change the way we heal. We also continue our look at Stephen Harpers Fascist Shift using Naomi Wolfs boo “The End of America” as a guideline. This week we looked at how the manipulation of the press is one of the key ingredients to the shift. In this show we look at Harpers manipulations of the press in the House of… Sun, 10 Feb 2008 21:08:24 PST current affairs, news, Canada, Nelson, British Columbia We strip off the hazmat suits from the City Police and expose the truth behind the Drug War propaganda. We examine Naomi Kleins book “End of America” with a Canadian perspective. This week is the operation of Secret Prisons and Canada's complicity in handing over of Afghan prisoners to known torturers. Another dropping of all charges in Ontario with a legal kit. Proving once again that the laws of simple possession in Canada are of no force and effect! You can have a personal amount of cannabis with you and not be convicted. Of course, you will have to defend… Sun, 3 Feb 2008 22:26:23 PST current affairs, news, Canada, Nelson, British Columbia On todays show I talk about the true power of friendship and community to ward off those fears that seem to be expanding in all quarters. I also play a cut from the Psychedelic Salon featuring Terence Mckenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake. We begin a Canadian perspective on the 10 steps of a Fascist Shift guided by Naomi Wolfs Book "The End of Democracy". Some great tunes too!!! Mon, 28 Jan 2008 04:59:23 PST current affairs, news, Canada, Nelson, British Columbia On this weeks show I interview Marc Emery regarding his extradition plea bargain and wonder seriously why the Canadian government has no backbone when dealing with the American government. Canada recognizes American and Israel torture then backs down. I guess the truth hurts but in true spineless fashion Canada backs down on the issue. Martin Luther King Day, a couple of nice tracks with his famous words. Naomi Wolf discusses her new book “End of America”...heavy hitting! Not my interview. Albert Hoffman turns 102. … Thu, 24 Jan 2008 05:48:24 PST current affairs, news, Canada, Nelson, British Columbia
