Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna and guests Fireworks, War, Earth’s Greatest Enemy, and the Power of Peace A Sacred Opening With Rainbird and the Mayan Calendar This episode of Hard News on Friday opens with Rainbird guiding listeners into heart space around a symbolic council fire with guides, ancestors, spirit teams, and totems. She identifies the day as 11 Kimi, the White Spectral Linker of Worlds, and describes its themes of release, liberation, equalizing, opportunity, and death. Rainbird then walks listeners through the energetic qualities of the week ahead in the Mayan calendar, including Manik for healing, Lamat for vision, Muluc for a new wave, Oc for unconditional love, Chuen for playful magic, Eb for human service, and Ben for strength and dimensional focus. Donations, Community Support, and the Talking Stick After a drumming journey, Rainbird gives housekeeping information for listener support, including BBS Radio fees and direct assistance for Tara and Rama. She explains how listeners can donate through BBS Radio, PayPal, or mail, and she names specific practical needs such as utilities, living expenses, and phone-service costs. Rainbird then passes the symbolic talking stick to Tara and Rama, describing it as filled with Fourth of July imagery, fireworks, flags, feathers, fairies, Native American symbolism, and soccer balls representing the world coming together. Saint Germain, the Founding Fathers, and a New Heaven and Earth Rama and Tara begin by connecting the nation’s 250-year celebration to spiritual history, saying the Founding Fathers were helped by Saint Germain and, in Rama’s telling, that George Washington had contact with Galactics at Valley Forge. They frame the Fourth of July not only as a national anniversary, but as part of a larger spiritual story involving a new heaven, a new earth, and the evolution of democracy. Rama then shifts toward “hard news,” introducing a recorded interview with Abby Martin on the U.S. military, war, empire, environmental destruction, and the documentary Earth’s Greatest Enemy. Abby Martin, Project Censored, and the Military as Earth’s Greatest Enemy The longest news segment is a recorded interview from the Project Censored Show with Mickey Huff and Abby Martin. Martin discusses her film Earth’s Greatest Enemy, which argues that the U.S. military is one of the planet’s most destructive forces through emissions, toxic contamination, nuclear weapons, Agent Orange, fossil-fuel enforcement, military bases, and war-related ecological damage. She connects militarism to capitalism, climate destruction, Gaza, Iran, Okinawa, police militarization, Cop City, and the normalization of endless military budgets. Mickey Huff adds historical context involving Smedley Butler, the permanent war economy, Iran, Guatemala, the CIA, and the way corporate media often hides or flattens that history. Anti-War Solidarity and the Call to Act The Abby Martin segment also focuses on what people can do in the face of militarism, propaganda, and despair. Martin says the answer is solidarity, love, humility, support for trustworthy independent journalism, local organizing, and movement building. She urges people not to doomscroll themselves into helplessness, but to join organizations, support divestment campaigns, host screenings, and use the documentary as a tool for consciousness expansion. The interview closes with Martin encouraging people to support both Earth’s Greatest Enemy and her film Cuba After Castro, while Huff congratulates her on receiving the Izzy Award. Mother Sekhmet on Peace, AI, and the Power of the People After the interview, Tara invokes Mother Sekhmet, who speaks through Rama with a message about peace, compassion, unified consciousness, and the people’s power. Mother Sekhmet says the old systems are obsolete and that humanity is being asked to choose love over war. She criticizes corporations, artificial intelligence, and what she calls hive-mind or Borg-like systems, contrasting them with living spirit and the temple of the human body. Tara and Mother Sekhmet also discuss social democracy, younger political leaders, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Trump, the violet fire, Lady Liberty, Lady Freedom, and the ascended masters as part of a larger spiritual transformation. Kryon, Crystals, Frequency, and the Closing Blessing The final segment features a recorded teaching from Kryon titled “What Do You Know About Crystals?” Kryon speaks from the Wagner Crystal Mines in Arkansas and explains crystals as holders of frequency, energy, consciousness, and benevolent Gaia-based resonance. The teaching connects crystal sets, radio reception, consciousness as energy, programming crystals, healing frequencies, and the idea that science may one day better understand how crystals store and transmit frequency. Rama and Tara close the program with aloha, namaste, peace, and a reminder that listeners can join them again the next day.
