Hi,
Still have mine - showed it to an acquaintance just this past Saturday and have it in front of me right now. Did you know that we could have requested a leather-bound copy and we would have gotten it for free? I wonder if it was red leather? My copy (red plastic cover) is the "Second Edition 1967" with a forward dated December 16, 1966 written by Mao's good buddy Lin Piao. We all know what Mao did to his good buddy just a few years later. I was still in college when I had my "visit" from the FBI. I had thought of naming my cat Meow tse Tung, but then changed my mind. Don't you miss the good old days when all you had to do to hear the communist countries was to tune almost anywhere on the dial and hear about the "US imperialists and their lackeys and running dogs?" Now it seems all we get is the "Hallelujah" boys ("Hallelujah, send me money!"). We have IF "filters," "filter" cigarettes, and spam "filters." No one was able to invent a "communist filter." Has anyone invented a "religious(?) broadcaster filter?" Lawrence N8KDV wrote in message ... I'm wondering how many of you out there still have your copy of 'Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse Tung' that was sent out by Radio Peking years ago? Steve Holland, MI Drake R7, R8 and R8B http://www.iserv.net/~n8kdv/dxpage.htm |

No, those are not copies of Mao's book. |

My bad. How's your credibility, btw? .... Still no response on that point, I see. "Then my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light; split the night. And broke the sound... of silence." FW |

Now it seems all we get is the "Hallelujah" boys ("Hallelujah, send me money!"). Lawrence The communists were evangelists with a different theology. Frank Dresser The communist countries were on the air with a political agenda which could be argued (successfully, by our side, as it has turned out). (Everyone on the air has some agenda; that's why they're on the air.) (Even I have an agenda!) The communist broadcasters were nice to the individual listeners, not only never asking for anything (except for you to listen), but actually sending you gifts and information (some of it interesting) about their countries. The so-called "religious" broadcasters have, in my opinion, a very evil agenda. They espouse a subject which cannot be argued (no one ever "wins" a religious argument; look how many have been killed in the attempt) and constantly ask overtly and covertly for MONEY (which is used for more broadcasts to ask for more money, ad infinitum). Can you imagine a "religious broadcaster" sending you anything without asking for something in return? The amount you are asked to send is always much more than the value of the trinket he sends you! (They are masters in the art of making people feel guilty if they don't send money!) Incidentally, if the broadcaster is successful in fooling enough gullible people to send him their money, he can manage to live rather a lavish lifestyle, according to his wishes, whether it be Mercedes-Benzes, BMW's, or young women at his beck-and-call in his "compound." Anyone who thinks he or she can "buy" his/her way into "heaven" (or that these so-called "holy men" will help them do so) is, in my opinion, very foolish. Their "shows" aren't even entertaining! I don't wish to impugn any sincere religious person (I am one myself) and there have been some decent religious broadcasters (HCJB for one); I can only hope that the current crop of so-called "holy men" get off the shortwaves and take to the internet where we in the hobby can easily ignore them. Of course, maybe I'm in the wrong profession. Maybe I should become a "religious broadcaster." After all, my lifestyle won't be complete until I have a Watkins-Johnson WJ-8711A and a tower antenna. A very tall tower. Hallelujah! Anybody want to send me money? Lawrence |

Arguements didn't run down the communist countries, it was containment and economics. (Everyone on the air has some agenda; that's why they're on the air.) (Even I have an agenda!) The communist broadcasters were nice to the individual listeners, not only never asking for anything (except for you to listen), but actually sending you gifts and information (some of it interesting) about their countries. Of course they were nice. They were nice to anyone they weren't pointing a gun at, or under their jackboots. The so-called "religious" broadcasters have, in my opinion, a very evil agenda. They espouse a subject which cannot be argued (no one ever "wins" a religious argument; look how many have been killed in the attempt) Look how many people have died argueing with the Communists and Nazis in the previous century! Not just in warfare, but in internal supression!! No SW broadcaster Hall of Fame would be complete without Mao, Stalin and Hitler! This year Fidel Castro will kill more people to keep ahold of power than Doctor Scott. and constantly ask overtly and covertly for MONEY (which is used for more broadcasts to ask for more money, ad infinitum). Can you imagine a "religious broadcaster" sending you anything without asking for something in return? Many religious broadcasters send free literature. They do usually request, not demand, money, as they don't have their own source of involuntary revenue. Religious broadcasters also have no way of keeping donors inside their religions, unlike the emigration restrictions and the Berlin wall of the communist countries. The amount you are asked to send is always much more than the value of the trinket he sends you! Brother Stair's radios and satellite receivers aren't a bad deal. But Brother Stair makes no small scams. (They are masters in the art of making people feel guilty if they don't send money!) They should try harder. I don't send money, and I listen without guilt! Incidentally, if the broadcaster is successful in fooling enough gullible people to send him their money, he can manage to live rather a lavish lifestyle, according to his wishes, whether it be Mercedes-Benzes, BMW's, or young women at his beck-and-call in his "compound." Didn't Fidel Castro make the Forbes 500? Anyone who thinks he or she can "buy" his/her way into "heaven" (or that these so-called "holy men" will help them do so) is, in my opinion, very foolish. That's hardly unique to religion. Fool/Money/Parted. Their "shows" aren't even entertaining! The are very entertaining!! I don't wish to impugn any sincere religious person (I am one myself) and there have been some decent religious broadcasters (HCJB for one); I can only hope that the current crop of so-called "holy men" get off the shortwaves and take to the internet where we in the hobby can easily ignore them. They're on the internet! They're on TV! They're in the newspapers! They're on the radio! They're everywhere ideas are presented. And they will be, as long as the First Amendment is around. Of course, maybe I'm in the wrong profession. Maybe I should become a "religious broadcaster." After all, my lifestyle won't be complete until I have a Watkins-Johnson WJ-8711A and a tower antenna. A very tall tower. I think most of the scam religious broadcasters are wannabees. Be careful you don't end up standing at an intersection carrying a sign reading "Will Preach for Food". Hallelujah! Anybody want to send me money? Not me! Lawrence Frank Dresser |
