For many people summer is a time to ignore the outside world as much as possible. It’s time to relax, to bask in the sun, to pretend that today will blend into tomorrow without change or trouble. Television news programs in these later days of August have been filled with items that reinforce this mood. Even the alleged President has seemingly found time to lay aside the tedium of doing his job, and for a week or more we were assured by television reports that the Carter robotoid family were enjoying a tranquil steamboat ride down the Mississippi River. To all appearances, this robotoid President has had nothing to do except jog around the boat deck, shake hands with well-wishers, and give the same Energy speech over and over. If he can take life that easy, we think, why shouldn’t we relax too? But, my friends, at this very moment the world is in ferment as never before. If you depend on television news and newspaper headlines as most people do, the world may seem to be just rolling along just like Old Man River; but if you want to have some hint of what is really taking place today, you should listen to the short-wave radio. Get into the habit of listening to the BBC World Service, to Radio Moscow World Service, to Radio Australia, to Radio South Africa, even Radio Canada right next door to us. It often contains important reports which you will never hear through our domestic major media. My three special topics this month are: Topic #1--RUSSIA’S TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA’S MIDDLE EAST POLICY Topic #2--THE DOMESTIC FALLOUT OF THE ANDREW YOUNG AFFAIR Topic #3--RUSSIA’S TWO-FRONT WAR AGAINST ROTHSCHILD WORLD POWER.
