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?

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.
http://www.pacifica.org/finance/index.html
- - - Then why can't RFPI get it done in the Real World ?

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.
