WMNF, Are You Promoting Cruelty to Women?

The reason I ask is in reference to the Friday show just before “True Talk” where two artists now supposedly featured at “newn” on Saturday made comments that were not aligned with basic ethics for humanity and respect for the living. This began with the friends of Robert Lorei telling a story about their dumb dog chasing turkeys into the trees and killing a numerous amount of them which seemed quite cruel, and especially on the open radio show. This was followed by a song they sung about dragging women around by their hair while drunk.

I’m sorry, but I don’t think these two octopuses need to be promoting such nonsense and cruelty aside from the artistic musical point of view in which I completely support. It may be good to check the noon show just to see how much trouble these two are going to cause. Certainly people need a way to be heard, and many different artists and supporters provide their services free of charge to fill the time line that WMNF provides. Over the last few years I have begun to listen to WMNF during the day while working knowing of the main stream propaganda that is oblivious to most common Americans and that is certainly an issue with 88.5 now celebrating their 30th anniversary this weekend.

Having arrived in Florida in 85, they had just began a few years prior, but for myself at that particular time I did not have the broader interest in music that has been attained over time, and still quite asleep to propaganda. I now enjoy the diversity of music provided by WMNF. However, there are a few issues that should be mentioned that have become critical in nature.

To begin, if 30 years is to celebrate how America has become a better place to live, we have a problem, as the truth is during the last 30 years things have become much worse. So when celebrating, one should consider the value in what you provide in relation to the lives that are actually being lived. It is ok to remain happy throughout the working days and to have friends, but these do not really provide the capable healing that is nested in the true power that a radio station possesses and can be shared with others, in effect, helping to navigate the community to the ability to educate themselves on their environment which overrides the propagated information that becomes a part of the life.

How can WMNF actually contribute to this ability by promoting the cruelty to animals and women?

This has an odd feeling about it, and reminds me of another problem that is solvable with amazing results if pursued. It remains to be seen that NPR news is anything but propaganda, as if one has studied the concept, one is already aware that good propaganda is never visible, it is made to seem like something legitimate or it would not be successful. It does seem odd, as the folk singer Utah Phillips even sang a song about NPR. I ask the question, where in the hell was WMNF when this happened? NPR does seen like an easy out and filler.

Yes, news seems like something hard. It’s not. There are now many numerous websites that align with the WMNF concept of community and healing, of which I would think would also align with Listeners who give their hard earned money to WMNF so they can stay on the air. I must also admit that I would like to support WMNF with my hard earned money, but the issue with NPR needs to be solved, and it can be solved. In fact, this can be done with flying colors, but will require discussion in the open about how to go about doing it. Now I can tell you that NPR and the gross crowd are going to spew animosity to the moon about it while your Listeners will likely respond positively to the fact that you care about them at a level they have long been waiting for. The drunks won’t understand, while the crowd of those now following WMNF who can walk will pour more money into the house since they probably have more money to spend. Don’t get me wrong, if you want to have a few drinks, this is fine. Just don’t sing songs about dragging women by their hair and expect to get the support you think you’re going to continue to get causing someone behind the scenes to fill the gap. Maybe a open discussion is needed about the fact that Rob and his friends with the killer dog and drag routine is not appropriate for a station that has come so far. Tolerance has its limits.

As far as the octopus show at noon that has five lost parts, I would be willing to match or replace them free of charge if you would just dump them now. Or if you like, we can meet at midnight dressed in black for a chess game. I already feel like a black person anyway just from the oppression of my ability to make a living in this area advocating renovation (not new construction) to help preserve and conserve in a manner of speaking. WMNF is not known to oppress, but that is the result of our economic blasphemous talking heads over the last 30 years who have literally removed the wealth and health of the nation. If one spends any time at all online in the alternative scene, this is quite obvious.

NPR is not alternative. It would be no surprise to find the true source of their news pertaining to war and economics is the Pentagon. So why does WMNF keep feeding us with the propaganda that is evident, as often referenced online, particularly to accepting terrorism built out of the inside jobs, in particular the 9/11 event. The animosity is evident but to understand one must take the time for such an event and do the research oneself. I would think this one is worth it since our police state has become crazy since the propagated event. This is fed by fear and the notion that someone is out to get you. The truth would be more along the lines of terrorize others until they either hate us, or pay them to help us cause more havoc as food as seen by international propagation.

If you really want to provide a service for the community you would surely want to be at the top of the intellectual crowd, not the one’s who chase dog bones around. They are available and would be screaming happy to a part of radio in the open market, such as the ever growing Tampa Bay region which includes St. Petersburg and the metropolis of millions of people. The upgrade would surely draw a larger crowd. We really do fight a war of position, and WMNF has the opportunity to become extremely effective in improving the lives of the lesser or those oppressed as has often been the silver streak that now exists.

So, on Saturday, we now have the dogma boys. Maybe you two should get some e-love, or maybe we should set down and have a true talk. Whatever it be I’m game, and I intend to shut you up, especially if you think that cruelty to life and women is the game you perpetuated. It is already hell enough online and the radio waves are practically owned in full by Clear Channel of which we all know is floating crap. If you persist in your cruelty and partnership with Rob who will take the heat in the situation, there will be an encounter and we will see who is afraid of who. Ya know, if you intend to insult the intelligence of the whole world in your ignorance, why don’t you apply for a job at Geico? I’m sure you will fit right in.

We live in a world where people are not as stupid as you two are, and the crowd at WMNF is not a bunch of drunks, which is also perpetuated in the midst. Of course, those who are waking up are already somewhat aware of this fact; to keep people asleep, as evidenced over the last 30 years. But, that is now changing and a new wave approaches to consume stupidity in whole, and as we all seem to exemplify in our community greatly feared by the pentamerous in crowd.

9/11 is without a doubt a sad event, but the animosity displayed in relation to its discussion is evidently held in place by a few secret relationships that intend on keeping everyone else in the dark, and even more sad is the fact that is was perpetrated in our own country by scrupulous measures some intend to bury with drunkenness and violence, similar to a bazaar worship of a fading past.

As it stands, an apology to all the women who listen to WMNF and those who see the value in the living beings upon earth as not something to drag around or chase up a tree would be required if the support from the intelligentsia crowd is expected, and is required as this is unstoppable and integral to the nature of friendships and healing. All of what has been said here is also greatly feared as this removes control allowing people to grow and become aware in turn generating a livable community, not one of propagation for control as evidenced.

If you really want to survive another 30 years, then we need to start moving in the other direction, not the hell bound train we are currently on thanks to dogma, and built in hatred. And the NPR spill has turned into the tricks are for kids thing, we can easily blow their socks off. It may be that considering the type of news could solve a vast number of problems currently being dealt with instead of the clamorous routine that is currently exchanged which seems to offer up more confusion. Our economic thinkers have drugged us into believing growth is good, yet anyone can see the result as based on the numbers being thrown around these days just for fun while poor people dig more graves. If you really care about these issues, you can act upon them, as the story goes when adding people together verses separating them into dollars.

I challenge WMNF to at least offer an apology for these two fools who I am more than happy to meet anywhere anything preferably midnight dressed in black and to put an end to the mouths of cruelty toward women and turkeys of all things in bigoted fashion. It would be much easier and less bloody if they are just dumped and replaced by someone (my services offered) who can help to actually contribute to the community in ethical fashion and instill the core of WMNF’s crowd who actually are not drunk, and pulling their wife’s hair out. WMNF surely does not need these two clowns as any form of tolerance.

It was Democracy Now that started my listening routine at WMNF, of which is not propaganda. Yet with this wonderful source of news within the hour here comes NPR which is like night and day to what is actually being reported as a comparison. It really does seem odd and many are now becoming aware of these facts. One would think in discerning the value of news in relation to Democracy Now that news has tremendous value in navigation unless one is to remain in a wandering mode about the town oblivious to reality, and trapped in a self-consuming propagated environment that only spreads as dysfunctional profit.

The acceptance of war is a major issue of concern especially with the War and Peace Report offered at a very appropriate time each day at WMNF. We now corrupt this precious moment with the dogma boys who had better keep their dump dog in the barn. A key to whipping ignorance is the ability to put fear in its place, a place of awakening, that being knowledge and this is a part of news, or what is perceived as news. I see a great opportunity for radio stations such as WMNF to align with a particular crowd now waiting in the wings; a rather large group of journalists who are now ready. Of course, animosity is also a key sign of those who are both unaware of true propaganda, and their ability to weed it out of the pathos as it is like a claw that holds you in place.

As a writer myself, I have always stood for the woman and her human rights as equal to mine. The continued abuse that is not acceptable is perpetrated in the open market effectively a pool of hatred and corruption to feed on such as killing and marital disassociation as a method accepted and often instigated as religion. It is assumed that women play a lesser role and this is complete nonsense. It is true that our society is built upon downplaying the confusion developed by clowns who really do not have anyone’s best interests at heart and effectively add to the propaganda of which is the problem that must be addressed directly in order to prevent the continued pathocracy.

It is of great concern to understand how to detect propaganda as upon delivery it immediately spreads and becomes the assumption that brilliant people like Norm Chomsky have been teaching us about for decades.

Why is this not learned and more effectively challenged especially in alternative radio?

When it is challenged, it is often the primary function. Does this not tell you part of the answer? In order for propaganda to be effective, it is like a football game of psychological blocks and maneuvers that confuse the mind and not often enough addressed directly as a problem attributing the current environment and destruction of it. Instead, the information is thrown into the pool of data received ineffectively addressing the value. Listeners do not have the luxury of reading the WMNF newspaper, they receive the data differently, and comparisons should be studied and evaluated as for their potentials. Radio is much more attractive and direct, so much is left to poor navigation such as over focus on the party scene and not the bonding of knowledge that actually provides and enlightens a clear pathos. Although I think the folk music scene is quite relevant and integral to the movement, as this is aligned with the artistic values of healing. It also seems to come in close to a matter of educating the Listener with more fact based data while also continuing to offer diversity, of which is part of the existing potential currently available but oddly missing a few pieces of a puzzle that is moments away from completion.

Having listened and collected music for nearly 30 years or a bit more, I can vouch for the unique and precious moment we all share defined by the people who contribute their knowledge and friendship with a community such as WMNF. We really are all in the same boat, and desperately needing navigation. There are only so many ways to bring people together, and radio offers the number one method of doing this over all others. Truly, radio is completely capable of both mirco and macro social healing which each person desires whether or not they actually believe it. Knowing what is happening around the world must be more fact based and there are many journalists that now struggle just to be heard at all, or they fight with the online jungle of connectivity. It would be wise to consider the facts that journalists are totally capable of formulating news for radio that are from the legitimate alternative crowd and also would often be willing to offer this service at no charge just to get their name heard on radio.

They are also often more readily available on weekends and to offer commentary that would effectively be suitable for WMNF and the Tampa Bay community. Is not this a part of what a radio station does, especially one that is off the grid as WMNF? Why is it that commentary just happens to be a service that is offered up so conveniently, such as the so-called Fresh Air? Is this not a sign of what we have been supposedly taught on WMNF? Why was this not learned? I find more air with contributors such as Joan and this air feels much better. Don’t you see what I’m getting at? Don’t you see how air comes into play? Have you studied psychology at all? Don’t you find the list of bookees interviewed by the Gross crowd not really alternative, but completely void of the key alternative writers who now exist as flowers online? Did somebody drink too much?

If WMNF is truly alternative as currently exhibited in the local muse, why is understanding thrown into the closet when it comes to offering journalists the same space? And as we can see, both this loose air and the hourly charm hold a significant presence buried in the carnival of enlightenment. This are like brush strokes that can be changed with the wisps of one hand and to actually become a true talk of the entire metropolis and beyond. Alternative is not fresh unless it is clean as folk etymology has shared for thousands of years as the dream of the proletariat who carries love with them every day in subtle satirists ways of communication. These subtle effects are not often enough addressed and have been replaced with a monitoring mechanism as a form of infiltration into a market of people to propagate confusion about strength in knowledge. And one can also easily understand that by the use of the constant charm (NPR) aligned with the prime morning slot of loose air will effectively alter the entire house. It is the entire house that is so unique especially in such a large market, and the propaganda seems to eventually be bound to breaking down opening up a magnetic center of journalists who are already well respected who would be graciously aligning with the type of people seen on Democracy Now who also contribute to the draw of this area. The market of writers who have written book that are desperate for promoting themselves just as musicians and could offer services related to events such as current conditions as a report; an example would be Iraq or Palestine, and to make this available on a daily basis would probably be a hands down deal ready to go knowing the size of our community. The morning show is also an ideal place to offer this service to Listeners that attune to navigation when it is organized in a way that aligns over the mechanisms installed.

It all comes down to WMNF’s ability as a group to put away the fear tactics and get past the propaganda, and howling at the moon. There would certainly be opposition but the key to understanding how propaganda has been installed is by the way the response is interpreted, especially that of animosity, which is more often a sign of racism. There also seems to be quite a bit of open conversation that is meant to connect with Listeners however this may be occurring too often where Listeners could be asked to write something down and send it in to be read encouraging the Listener to think more about what they actually say. This seems also to now be a part of the current programs to some extent. Why not encourage Listeners to write investigative journalism or to organize their thoughts in more constructive ways? These are a few ideas that come to mind with supporting a community radio station that is set apart from the main channels that are more often subtle mechanisms of control which are aversive to facts.

It is now a fact that laughing about killing turkeys and dragging drunk women around is completely acceptable at WMNF which I find hard to swallow but am not surprised at the slot appointed which offers up much concern along with the aforementioned mechanisms for deep contact. That’s not art. Racism against women is really no different than your basic hatred run amuck in which women or lesser beings often are on the receiving end. Let’s see if WMNF stand behind true egalitarian principles of community.
