Hence forth, I will not be reading any of the articles on this website; I will not be linking to any articles on this website, nor will I ever again recommend this website to anyone.

Again, thank you for opening my eyes to what this website is really about– most probably nothing more than yet another government disinformation operation.

Mitchel Cohen campaign statement for seat on the WBAI station board states inter alia : Wbai should be a beacon of truth but has been looted by the Justice and Unity faction which controls the station. Do not be fooled or diverted by the race baiters, the opportunist the anti-semite.
They want to take back the station and turn it back into their gravy-train…

Hi Mitchel, I woulld love to be recruited and vote for you but before that could you give some documented instances of opportunism and anti- semitism by the Justice and Unity faction. During the recent phone in to the Station Board there ware constant references to anti-semitism on WBAI but it was never stated as to what had occurred. One examnple would do.

Also, please state your role in the banning and firing of Bernard, Tony and the other WBAI staffers. We all love WBAI and we need to know whats going on.

This morning on the Arron’s KPFA import, Background Briefing, I was saddened to hear airtime wasted on a piece by Max Blumental on Sarah Pallin’s Kenyan witch doctor. http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/091006_090001backbrief.MP3

Have just finished listening to that wonderful couple Mya Shone and Ralph Schoenman on Taking Aim. Target Iran: Orchestrating the Duplicity re the impending Israeli nuclear-genocidal attack on Iran with the likelihood of killing 70 million Iranians

…..Under Aaron’s tenure, the stations have been under serious pressure to increase listenership and fundraising by offering miracle cures and 9/11 conspiracist DVDs as donor “thank you gifts”. Pacifica station WBAI in New York made tens of thousands of dollars on gifts promising protection from fungus-causing aerosols that the government is supposedly spraying on its population. It is also symptomatic that at the same time that Aaron favors depoliticized self-help shows, she is reported to fulminate against “pro-Palestinian, pro-immigrant” public affairs programming on the network……

Mitchel let’s look into the future just a little and what the people’s radio station will be broadcasting in say 20 years.

“Be well this is the people’s radio station. First reports this morning are saying more troops are massing on the Southern boarder of Russia. China has called for calm and trying to get food and water to the estimated 200 million people now on the Northern boarded. Reports out of India are hard to get and the best we know today July 2029 India is still under Marshall law. The fires in California have stopped for now and the central valley is almost uninhabitable and LA still under Marshall law gas in short supply. Temperatures in Southern California are expected to reach records again today. The government is asking for calm in Texas and promising more water and food and gas as people move North. Flooding again in the Northeast and more new settlements on the border with Canada. The government and NASA again in talk’s to see if aerosol injection into Earth’s atmosphere can be used. All for now and temperature updates in one hour save energy be well”.

Let’s watch the Senate in a few months on the climate bill and what was it that a Senator just said. “The climate bill is as dead as a door nail”. “All for now and temperature updates in one hour save energy be well”.

Mitchel Cohen
Chair, WBAI Local Station Board

And I write this as someone who appreciates the WWP’s antiwar efforts but who disagrees strenuously that that monolithic policy should become imposed on the functioning of a people’s radio station.

That should read the preservation of all life on this earth to the best of our knowledge.

I do not think that world plutos care if temperatures rise by 4 or 6C . We are not the world. The song writer who wrote those words was one of them and not one of us.
They are [plutos] the world. And as always before or since , let’s say, at least 10k yrs ago.
Six millennia ago world pop numbered no more than 200mn people. With global warming destroying much of the planet and 5-6bn darkies, there will be enough left for plutos to thrive around the two poles.
In any case, they appear not to be worried about own fate. tnx

I expect the Chicago mobsters who helped to put him in power have told them to get over there and lobby. Lots of shekels to be made in 2016.

Isn’t it strange what the thinking has come to in the first part of the twenty first century? In 1938 it was only a radio program and yet many people thought it was the real thing. Today this second the problem, problems we face are big and very real and we are made to believe by people who control sort of the bank’s the policy the media business and our thoughts that the biggest problems the human race has ever faced are not real it’s under control sure it is. We can not solve these problems with missiles and bombs will not work. If you watch Fox New’s the talk seems to be bomb bomb Iran and on CNBC last night this man Larry said cap and trade and this health care bill will hurt the stock market, what. We just saw a random noise generator in Pittsburgh and in the coming years I am sure more of that because you see these problems so far are being solved with something called illusion. Illusion of knowledge on a grade scale. The big plan so far appears for some old thinkers in mind and body get to go out in style I guess that’s what they call it as the rest of the human race goes down the drain in not such so motion. The problems are of course climate change and nuclear weapons not strange beings from Mars. Although there are strange beings among us and now control sort of the bank’s policy media business and our thought’s. You see them on TV with suits and designer dresses and use second grade level thinking illusion of knowledge and foolishness so I guess some of them can move to Hawaii in 20 years and we that’s we the people get random noise generators as a start. There is away. Face the problems for what they are use knowledge, imagination, working together reason and the big one something called a soul. A good start would be for the President the leader of the free World to give a speech.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have a grave announcement to make. Incredible as it may seem, both the observations of science and the evidence of our eyes lead to the inescapable assumption that we are all in deep do do”.

ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, I have a grave announcement to make. Incredible as it may seem, both the observations of science and the evidence of our eyes lead to the inescapable assumption that those strange beings who landed in the Jersey farmlands tonight are the vanguard of an invading army from the planet Mars. The battle which took place tonight at Grovers Mill has ended in one of the most startling defeats ever suffered by any army in modern times; seven thousand men armed with rifles and machine guns pitted against a single fighting machine of the invaders from Mars. One hundred and twenty known survivors. The rest strewn over the battle area from Grovers Mill to Plainsboro, crushed and trampled to death under the metal feet of the monster, or burned to cinders by its heat ray. The monster is now in control of the middle section of New Jersey and has effectively cut the state through its center. Communication lines are down from Pennsylvania to the Atlantic Ocean. Railroad tracks are torn and service from New York to Philadelphia discontinued except routing some of the trains through Allentown and Phoenixville. Highways to the north, south, and west are clogged with frantic human traffic. Police and army reserves are unable to control the mad flight. By morning the fugitives will have swelled Philadelphia, Camden, and Trenton, it is estimated, to twice their normal population. At this time martial law prevails throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. We take you now to Washington for a special broadcast on the National Emergency . . . the Secretary of the Interior . .

SECRETARY: Citizens of the nation: I shall not try to conceal the gravity of the situation that confronts the country, nor the concern of your government in protecting the lives and property of its people. However, I wish to impress upon you — private citizens and public officials, all of you — the urgent need of calm and resourceful action. Fortunately, this formidable enemy is still confined to a comparatively small area, and we may place our faith in the military forces to keep them there. In the meantime placing our faith in God we must continue the performance of our duties each and every one of us, so that we may confront this destructive adversary with a nation united, courageous, and consecrated to the preservation of human supremacy on this earth. I thank you.

STRANGER: Well, there won’t be any more concerts for a million years or so, and no nice little dinners at restaurants. If it’s amusement you’re after, I guess the game’s up.
