Default RFPI seige

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.

Wait a minute. This all started months ago. Has there been a seige
all this time, or has it suddenly escalated?

James Latham said the water and phones were cut off today.

Indeed, having been in the San Francisco radical movement when I was
younger (mid 1990s), I can tell you that the different factions of
"people's liberators" mostly argue among themselves as to correctness of
ideology instead of attacking the Evil Capitalist Scum (tm). It's like
Afghanistan without the guns. The common joke is that the "socialist
movement" is really the "socialist standstill".

They were cut off by the local Utility Company
for non-payment of their bill. Electric is likely
next in line for a cutoff. The present situation is
not due to anything "political" related. It's all lack
of funding.

Well, arguements among socialists aren't always public. I can't count
how many times I've heard someone on RFPI refer to the Rodney King
beating. Would King have been better off if he had been beaten by the
cops in Havana? Of course not. But the actions of Castro's brutal
regime have been almost immune from RFPI critisism.

Robber Barons and Socialist Globalists are both monopolists. It's
money and power, not correct ideology. It's remarkable that Alex Jones
understands this better than James Latham.

I can't disagree, I'm just repeating what I hear. James Latham is
asking for money, but he's talking about lawyers and not about settleing
bills.

Could you tell us more? The gates were locked by the University for
Peace in late July. James Latham is using terms like "censorship".
He's putting the blame on Maurice Strong. Latham is asking for lawyer
money. To listen to him, it's political.

Actually, that was Oral Robert's ploy to complete the "City of Faith"
hospital on the campus of Oral Roberts University. It was completed
(however a lot of floors were vacant last I heard).

In other news, the new Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire has now approved
Oral Roberts between consenting adults.

Tee hee.

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.
