Nah, Ashcroft and his band of wacko's would probably send you to Guantanamo to
await trial!

If Ashcroft had you sent to Gitmo, you probably would not get a trial.

China never sent me a little red book, although they harped on about
their use by the gullable masses in China. They did send me a big
package with a large full color Chinese propaganda magazine, and other
trinkets...I remember bringing the magazine to 8th grade history class
for a "show and tell" type deal..."about 1971" The teacher, who
normally hated my obnoxious trouble making ass, was quite impressed
that I had connections to them dang far away commie *******s. I always
wondered about the gov eyeballing my mail back in those days...I'm
fairly sure they did, as it always took forever to receive it...It's
like they had to check it out for a few weeks, before finally passing
it back on towards my way... I got crap from Radio Havana Cuba for
years and years and years before they finally gave it up. Even Havana
Cuba Christmas cards nearly every year...Same for RIA in Italy..They
used to send me those little color RIA magazines for years, until they
finally seemed to quit a few years ago...I guess the budget for SWL
freebees kind of dried up lately...MK

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?"

The communists were evangelists with a different theology.

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?

Arguements didn't run down the communist countries, it was containment and
economics.

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.

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

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

Didn't Fidel Castro make the Forbes 500?

That's hardly unique to religion. Fool/Money/Parted.

The are very entertaining!!

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

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!

Better than yours, I think.

Much better.

Let's cut to the chase here. You said that my
suggestion (that Duyba may have run into the
Air Forces' HUMAN RELIABIILTY PROGRAM and that's
why his military records are incomplete, leading
to charges he was AWOL) was untrue. And basically
you called me a liar.

I responded by provided cites from - and a URL to -
a newspaper article from a fairly reputable paper
saying exactly the same thing as I had. I also
pointed out that even a cursory search of Google
("human reliablity program' air force) indicated
that the program did exist and did functioned as
outlined in the article.

You shut up at that point. But silence isn't
enough. I need you to either specify why you
said my original statement was untrue so that
I can expand my knowledge on this subject and be
able to reach an informed decision. Or I need a
'Oops' from you.

That's it.

All I want.

I don't get either, that tells me all I need to
know regarding the true state of your credibility.
And whether I regard you as a vauled fellow poster
or a troll.

Your move.
