11PM THE PHARAOH'S PUMP: UNDERSTANDING HOW AND WHY THE GREAT PYRAMID WAS BUILT

Richard welcomes an independent antiquities scholar dedicated ro researching and understanding the reason the Great Pyramid was built.

He was dissatisfied by both conventional and non-conventional theories which have been offered to the general public and felt that the Great Pyramid was not primitive in its construction or purpose but that it was both sophisticated in its construction method and its purpose was functional.

GUEST: Steven Myers, is an independent antiquities scholar and the founder of the Pharaoh's Pump Foundation. This non-profit organization is dedicated to researching and developing energy systems and related technologies used by ancient mankind and developing applications for these energy systems in today's world. Steven is also the author of the new book, Lost Technologies of the Great Pyramid.

12AM THE DECLINE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION AND THE LOSS OF LOGIC

Richard speaks with a free-lance investigative reporter about the decline of public education and the absense of any meaningful instruction in critical thinking and logic. Once upon a time, he says, there were textbooks which listed 15 or 20 traditional logical fallacies, and students were taught how to spot those fallacies in any argument or presentation. In most schools, the subject of logic has been lost. Therefore, the ability to analyze written and spoken material has faded into obscurity.

However, as public education descended into a stagnant pool of political correctness, fraudulent graduation rates, and “new values,” logic was diluted and discarded. It was considered an enemy of preferred group-think.

In addition to this disintegration, many bright students (more than ever) were being drawn into law schools, where they learned that any side of any issue could be compellingly argued—by the practice of twisting logic into knots.

He has now developed materials that are effective for teaching logic and analysis. These courses do not challenge faith or personal conviction. They are designed to enable a bright student to take apart a written text, an argument, a visual presentation—and discover whether it is valid, whether it truly makes sense, whether it has holes in it.

These courses, aimed at parents who homeschool their children teach the traditional logical fallacies, offer many sample passages and exercises, quizzes, tests, and simple teacher’s manuals and daily lesson plans.

Guest: Jon Rappoport has worked as a free-lance investigative reporter for over 20 years. He has written articles on politics, health, media, culture and art for LA Weekly, Spin Magazine, Stern, Village Voice, Nexus, CBS Healthwatch, and other newspapers and magazines in the US and Europe. In 1982, the LA Weekly submitted his name for a Pulitzer prize, for his interview with the president of El Salvador University, where the military had taken over the campus. Jon has hosted, produced, and written radio programs and segments in Los Angeles and Las Vegas (KPFK, KLAV). He has appeared as a guest on over 200 radio and television programs, including ABC's Nightline, Tony Brown's Journal (PBS), and Hard Copy. In 1994, Jon ran for a seat in the US Congress from the 29th district in Los Angeles. After six months of campaigning, on a very small budget, he garnered 20 percent of the vote running against an incumbent who had occupied his seat for 20 years. In 1996, Jon started The Great Boycott, against eight corporate chemical giants: Monsanto, Dow, Du Pont, Bayer, Hoechst, Rhone-Poulenc, Imperial Chemical Industries, and Ciba-Geigy. The Boycott continues to operate today. Jon has lectured extensively all over the US on the question: Who runs the world and what can we do about it? For the last ten years, Jon has operated largely away from the mainstream because, as he puts it, "My research was not friendly to the conventional media." Over the last 30 years, Jon's independent research has encompassed such areas as: deep politics, conspiracies, alternative health, the potential of the human imagination, mind control, the medical cartel, symbology, and solutions to the takeover of the planet by hidden elites.
