FD,

Sounds like the University for Peace (UfP) was
sponsoring/underwriting Raddio for Peace International (RFPI).

* The realtionship changed with a change in the administration of UfP.
- RFPI is NOT part of the UfP.
- - RFPI is Independent of the UfP.
- - - RFPI must be Self-Supporting.

* RFPI then had to be Self-Supporting and Pay their Own Bills.

* RFPI has NOT been Paying their Own Bills.
- Staff Salary and Supplies.
- - Electricity, Water and Utilities.
- - - Rent to the UfP for the 'use' of their Land and Space.

* RFPI is being Closed Down because it has NOT Paid Its Bills.

RFPI Problem is NOT about Ideology its about "Responsibility".
- - - Good Management 'committed to' an Independent and
Self-Supporting RFPI.

If KPFA (Pacific Radio Foundation) can do this in the USofA.

- - - Then why can't RFPI get it done in the Real World ?

James Latham was just now speaking on RFPI. He says the University for
Peace has turned off the water and cut the phone lines. I'm still not
quite sure why James Latham is claiming why censorship is the motivation
for the eviction. He has suggested that the new University
administration doesn't like the anti-NAFTA/WTO slant of some of the
programming, but he also seems to be saying the University isn't
offering any clear justification.

He's putting the blame for the changes at the University squarely on
Maurice Strong. It's ironic that the biggest threat to RFPI is a
billionaire Globalist Socialist -- and not someone from the Vast Right
Wing.

It's starting to sound suspiciously like a fund-raising drama.
Now, what was the name of that tele-vangelist who implored his

listeners
to ante up or else the "Lord would call him home..."?

Don't know. The locked gates and shut down utilities are evidence of
the dispute, but otherwise I just have James Latham's version of what's
happening. Sometimes he says the University isn't offering any reason
why they want RFPI out. Sometimes he says it's censorship.

The televangelist was Oral Roberts. Not only didn't Oral get the all
the money he asked for, but he didn't get called back, either. It must
have been an unpleasant revelation for poor 'ol Oral to realize that God
might not have been taking him seriously enough.

That makes real world sense, but it isn't what James Latham is saying.
It's a seige. It's censorship. He needs money for lawyers. Maurice
Strong might be a Socialist, but he's the bad kind of Socialist.

James Latham has been on the air a couple of times but he's been saying
that University is throwing them out without offering a reason. He
makes dark suggestions concerning the value of the property that RFPI
sits on and how the new administration has invited people from the
School of the Americas over to the University for Peace.

Of course, there's a fine tradition of SW broadcasters gabbin' up some
bill payin' money. If so, I'll suggest he drop the censorship rhetoric
and go right for the recent Apocolyptic Solar Discombobulations caused
by Planet X.

James Latham doesn't like Socialists who like NAFTA/GATT/WTO. He seems
OK with Fidel Castro.
