LL,

Something is really, really up (down?) with Chuck Harder.
First, his Web site (www.chuckharder.com, mirror at
www.forthepeople.org) hasn't been updated since February 5, over six
months ago - the longest such interval I can recall since Chuck began
using the Internet on a regular basis in 1996.
Second, Chuck hasn't taken calls from listeners at least since he lost
that $860,000 Dept. of Labor contract on March 31 for his now-defunct
TV network. That's over four months with no call-ins, again the longest
interval I can recall since I first heard Chuck in September 1991 - 14
years ago.
Third, all his shows seem to be reruns; there is very little hard news
in his broadcasts that pinpoints exactly when they were recorded. As I
posted previously, this is exactly what happened with his TV network
before it went off the air.
Fourth, about three weeks ago, Chuck let it slip that he was on a
"controlled fast," and was eating "a couple pieces of fruit a day" (I'm
paraphrasing here, but I believe these quotes are accurate). Why would
Chuck say something like this on the air?
Fifth, after a big announcement in April, Chuck has said absolutely
nothing about his new book on the bankruptcy of America. What's up? Has
he abandoned it? If so, why?
I think what I said on my previous post is correct: Chuck Harder is off
the air, probably for good, and for whatever reason, his syndication
network, TalkStar Radio, is keeping his shows (whenever they were made)
on the 2 PM-4 PM time slot due to contractual obligations. What's
frustrating is that I cannot verify this; there is no press release or
AP bulletin saying, "Chuck Harder is off the air!" That said, I hope to
find out something soon; the mystery of what happened to Chuck Harder
can't go on forever.
We'll see ...
