KPFA - The Visionary Activist Show

Caroline welcomes Stephen Kinzer, whose splendid book, “All the Shah’s Men,” just out in paperback, and including an urgent hyper-pertinent preface, “The Folly of Attacking Iran,” is a book truly that all Americans (certainly candidates) should read. Delineating not only the 1953 American coup that overthrew the democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh, and installed the Shah, this book provides us with Venus, historically informed reverent intimacy with a rich culture, whom we all would do well to understand and ally with its long desire to have truly just leadership.

Stephen Kinzer is an award-winning foreign correspondent who has worked in more than fifty countries. He has been New York Times bureau chief in Istanbul, Berlin, and Managua. His books include “Overthrow: America’s Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq.”

And weaving clips from Omid Safi, allying with the rich traditions of Iranian culture, inter-woven with the guiding astro*animism of now ….

In which we are all participants, with the help of the Beloved Ancestor Poets.

Poetry will get us through! Just learned that great buddy colleague, Coleman Barks, has gone backstage.

And Sean Padraic O’Donoghue, will join to help honor Coleman – and how Coleman may help us with Iran…

Weaving all together with the Epstein Files, and the astromythoGuiding narrative

We shall inter weave all things Neptunian,

And the sacred cahoots of supporting listener supported radio…..

Raw sewage – literal and pervasive pandemic metaphor

Water and Money: Re-directing the flow – from Cruelty, State Terror, Corruption – to infrastructure….health, protecting commonwealth….

Collective well-being…

Empathic Sorrow be appropriate, and serves as incentive for dynamic kindness, dedicated to collective well-being

So many stories should be front page in perpetuity: ongoing obscene cruelty in Gaza, the war on children, State Terror…. Epstein – all one story…. (But former Prince Andrew was arrested today on rape charges, via Epstein… so the dominoes beginning to fall…. all the way to trump, and the entire trumpstein class.)

The largest and most ghastly raw sewage on-going torrent into River in American History…

The Potomac River ecocide ….

So…….

Honoring Rose George’s book “The Big Necessity – the Unmentionable World of Human waste and why it matters.”

Here be the whole show from 2009, humming in pertinence…

Such dangerous skullduggery abounding, that the back-stage gods are proffering syncretized Metaphors as allies.

Booo-Merangue! May anything up to no good- be revealed, rendered harmless & return to its source with  a pie in the face!

Make bad things too expensive, and that which is  liberating be irresistibly magnetic …

Responsive Incandescent Wrath fueling Community organizational genius….

Judy draws on shamanism, astrology, the Tarot, Reiki, and intuitive practices, alongside her medical and psychoanalytic training, to support healing at emotional, physical, and spiritual levels. She is the author of Sacred Psychiatry: Bridging the Personal and Transpersonal to Transform Health and Consciousness., and her work is grounded in the belief that healing arises through the integration of heart, mind, body, and spirit—and that personal healing is inseparable from the healing of our communities and planet.

Let’s Dive Deep to Rise Aroused –

Caroline convenes Mid-Winter Council to gather our wits, dedicate to strategy…forge alliances…

Waxing Leo-Aquarius Full Moon Apocalyptic Mid-Winter-Uranus Direct – Revelation fest

What would we like to be revealed ?

Not what’s gonna happen – but what’s available with whom to cooperate – for collective well-being.

Co-Operators are standing by!

Let’s meet them…to co-animate the Astro*Politico*Guiding Narrative – the miracle of Renaissance of Reverent Ingenuity

Arising from this cauldron of ashes…”Hell is empty – all the demons are here” (The Tempest) –

Uranus – queries – how big a change, a necessary miracle (!) would we all like?

“If you humans, allied with what you love, dedicate to what…..

“All I want from you humans – to seal the deal is all of us our proclaiming our availability and willingness!”

Once done – Bodhisattva Coyote says “Game on!”

Honoring Earth Dragons:

Renee Good (Renee means Renaissance – re-birth)

and Alex Pretti (Alexander means “defender” – Alexander, originally from the Greek Ἀλέξανδρος (Aléxandros), from αλέξειν aléxein meaning “to ward off, keep off, turn away, defend, protect” OED)

that we too may protect – keep safe all our kin….

Caroline re-plays a portion of her November 12th talk in Sonoma, so that we all might be Rising Aroused in Apocalyptic Times…. 

BodhiSattva Coyote’s astro*mytho*politico guide to navigating this dangerous, opportune time with Dark humor, Grief, Community alchemical magic and jaunty Trickster pluck.

Not averting our gaze from the cruel horror of our rampaging rogue species…. We are definitely in Act IV – which is evil, and are assigned the task of crafting Act V – Redemption

First by understanding that the domestic tyranny before us is a grotesque animation of all that is unaddressed in America’s shadow….

At this time of mega accelerating collapse, it behooves us all to animate the opportunities so generously proffered too us, lest we leave the fate of the world to the dementors…

Tyranny has always attacked Community – because tyranny is a cult – the toxic mimic of Community. So, Let’s compost the “cult” out of culture.
