I hope some free country will come to our aid with "Radio Free America" for amerikkka . . .

Gravel & Kucinich are the only 2 candidates worth a damn. Of course this means they have zero chance especially since we the people have nothing to do with choosing.

The problem is that our entire system is rigged, and has been so since 1913 --- when the American coup d' etat began with totally unconstitutional "The Federal Reserve Act".

"This Act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. The financial system has been turned over to the Federal Reserve Board. That Board administers the finance system by authority of a purely profiteering group. The system is Private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people's money. When the President signs this bill, the invisible government by the [private] Monetary Power will be legalized. The people may not know it immediately, but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed. The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking bill."
-U.S. Rep. Charles A. Lindbergh Sr., 1923

"The Fed has usurped the government. The Federal Reserve banks are one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever seen. There is not a man within the sound of my voice who does not know that this nation is run by the International bankers."
--- Congressman Louis T. McFadden, D-PA

"The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes."
-Felix Frankfurter, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1939-1962.

"These International bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of public office officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government."
-Theodore Roosevelt, 1919

"Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce. And when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate."
-James A. Garfield

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913:
According to the U.S. Constitution, only the (peoples) Congress has the power to create our own money and distribute it. We used to have debt-free creation of money in this Country. It was also originally tied to the gold standard or silver (such that bills could be exchanged for gold or silver). But what happened in 1913 was that a bunch of totally private bankers (powerful family dynasties like the Rothchilds, Rockefellers, Morgans, Warburgs, etc.) usurped from the Congress the right to control our own Nation's money, or, rather, Congress just gave away that right (in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section .

When you look at a dollar bill, it no longer says "United States Note" (as it was originally) but it says "Federal Reserve Note". The Federal Reserve just prints paper money (that is inherently worthless) backed up by nothing (no cost to them) and then charges the people "interest" (debt). The Federal Reserve prints money and then profiteers off of every bill that they print by back-charging the government interest. It's a ponzi-scheme. They also control the interest rate that they charge us. They have the power to trigger ressessions and trigger inflation of the money. Here's the kicker: Their very existence ensures that there will be high public debt, which enables them to print more money and drive the buying power of the dollar downward. The people end up working harder and harder while their purchasing power and standard-of-living either goes down or stays flat.

We gave a private group of bankers the power to print, create, and control U.S. currency (in violation of the Constitution). We let them create high public debt by allowing them to back charge the government interest for every dollar that they print. In essence, anytime a dollar bill is printed, you owe the government money.

We let them dilute the money supply and with it dilute our own purchasing power and standard of living. We gave away control as a country over our own economy and our own sovereignty as a Nation.

Whoever controls the money is the master, and the government itself then becomes the slave to that master.

"If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency...the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property, until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
-Thomas Jefferson

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. If would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But now the world is more sophosticated and prepared to march towards a world governemnt. The supra national sovereignty of an elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practised in past centuries."
-David Rockefeller, (Banking cartel) Council on Foreign Relations, 1991

"Give me control of a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes its laws"
Mayer A. Rothschild, founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty.

"We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are the United States government's institutions. They are not government institutions. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign swindlers"
--- Louis T. McFadden, D-PA, Chairman of the Committee on Banking, June 10, 1932

It truely sucks bIg tIme when you loose your local regional progressive talk station...

cause as soon as ya get in the car . . . . . The Pig Man Limbowel is waiting for YOU . . .

Ehhh... So where is Big Mama, Eyeballs - A - Bulging pelosi ?

On Monday night I was walking my dog, and listening to KLSD. At about 7:05, the signal went dead (during the Mike Malloy show, that night featuring Sam Seder). The station had dead air for the balance of my walk (I didn't have my phone with me). When I got home, I tried to call someone at KLSD or Clear Channel, but went into voice mail Hell. Finally, I called Air America, and told the screener to tell Jon Elliott, who was doing his show at the time (we actually get the show on delay, even though he broadcasts here). That worked, because a few seconds later the signal came back AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DEAD AIR!

It's just shameful that this would happen. Clear Channel clearly does not care about KLSD, and will allow anything to happen to it (including a long period of dead air - which is an FCC violation), because it will certainly support the company's decision to get rid of it.

20 minutes, I remember several occasions of over an hour of dead air
on a clear channel station that hosted the progressive format as well as other errors.

Sorry Brad, but I wouldn't put too much faith in the Democrats doing ANYTHING for the progressive community; they're all fakes, phony opposition, playing for the same team as the Republicans. Ever wonder why Nancy Pelosi's first policy statement after assuming the speakership was to announce that "Impeachment is off the table"? She's fake. So are the rest of the watered-down fascists that are the "Democratic" Party. The Democratic Party needs to either 1.move way WAAAY to the left or 2.get the fuck out of the way for a REAL opposition party to emerge.
