they're often connected to or the products of various gangs, and those gangs are walking into local businesses and "strongly encouraging" owners to "buy advertising" on the "stations." Extortion.

Really this is racketeering too, but it's not much different from what some of the major corporate broadcasters do.

Bandit, don't be so gol darn absurd! There are no radio account executives walking into businesses or clubs carrying guns, bats, and flammable liquids and demanding that they buy advertising.


It's impossible for any recording artist to have a hit record now without the assistance of major broadcasting companies. There's basically a payola situation now.

No, Bandit, no more diverging from the topic. It is your topic, after all.


Have you heard some of the regular non-pirate stations lately? There's at least 2 "legitimate" FM stations in Cincinnati that splatter all up and down the dial and even come through my computer speakers. And I'm not even that close to these stations' towers.

No, Bandit, no more diverging from the topic. It is your topic, after all.


WINZ was all-news back then, and, even though supposedly protected by the east-west pattern, Cuba didn't want one bit of it getting in.

Gee, I wonder why.

Easy: Leftists always have to keep the people in ignorance and fantasy land to keep them enslaved to the government and its ruling class. But, please, Bandit - no more diverging from the topic.

That is what the conservatives do.

Didn't the U.S. government jam Radio Havana in the early '90s or so?

The Dickeys won't spend to get the required talent and knowledge base, and other than Dave Ramsey, they don't control any syndication product.

And technically, they don't even handle either Ramsey's syndication, or afternoon driver Phil Valentine's syndication.

Both men work for Cumulus' Nashville FM talker, WWTN. But as far as I know, neither syndication effort runs through Cumulus. Ramsey has syndicated himself for years, and I'm pretty sure Cumulus doesn't directly syndicate Valentine.

WWTN has been their most successful talk operation by far. But I'm pretty sure it started long before Cumulus bought the station. And unlike Clear Channel, which has (as you put it) what's left of the old Jacor DNA as far as talk goes, I don't get the idea Cumulus has the same.

No, Bandit. It's exactly the opposite.

Bandit, here's something to think about and a question:

Bandit, you know you have many mental and emotional issues. You know that you've been in and out of many different institutions and parts of "the system," and, if I recall, the police have been called to deal with you a number of times. You know you're prone to emotional outbursts in which you completely abandon all thought and reason (heck, this is your thread and topic, and you can't even stick to the topic!). You know your brain does not work quite right. Now, do you really trust your perception when it comes to discerning what's true and what's real?

Bandit, are you now standing up for Communist propaganda? That's really weird, Bandit.

In case you're not familiar with Cuba's jamming, it's very, very extensive. The Communists currently oppressing Cuba jam Miami stations, sure, but they also jam 890 just in case WLS might make it down from Chicago and 640 just in case KFI might make it in from Los Angeles. That's how ridiculous (or, perhaps more accurately, how paranoid and desperate) Cuba's Communists have become.

Um, no.

Bandit, you know you have many mental and emotional issues. You know that you've been in and out of many different institutions and parts of "the system," and, if I recall, the police have been called to deal with you a number of times.

That is a lie and you know it. My only criminal charge since I was 18 was a third-degree trespassing charge in August 1995 for which I was acquitted because 1) the law was selectively enforced; and 2) I was innocent. Even if I was guilty, it was only a "violation", which is what other states refer to as a "minor misdemeanor." In other words, it's equivalent to a parking ticket. It's so minor, in fact, that the police can only ticket someone, and are not allowed to take someone to jail for it.

You can go to the courthouse in Newport and look up the details on the computer there.

I'm not going to take the blame for a crime I didn't commit, even if it would have only been a minor crime.

The Communists currently oppressing Cuba jam Miami stations, sure, but they also jam 890 just in case WLS might make it down from Chicago

Heaven forbid the folks in Cuba not get to hear the right-wing crap WLS spews out. Besides that, isn't there some international treaty against broadcasting into other countries without their permission?

Okay, fine; we'lll drop that and just stick with all the rest of the quoted material. And, I suppose we could go ahead and just note that having the police called to deal with you does not mean you were charged with or guilty of any crime.

By the way, I was simply going by what I remember of that website of yours that you used to invite us all to so often. I remember some of the phone book and library stories and one of the pictures, in particular. Is it still around?

Bandit, the Cuban people would be hearing about freedom, self-determination, and reaping the rewards of their own endeavors rather than seeing the Castro-anointed ruling class steal it from them at gunpoint. But, Bandit, you're missing the point; it would be very difficult to hear WLS there anyway, and the jamming they do of it (that extends as far as 1000 miles into the US, by the way) is entirely unnecessary.


Besides that, isn't there some international treaty against broadcasting into other countries without their permission?

Not exactly. It's impossible to stop electromagnetic waves at some imaginary line on a map, you know. It's more complex than that. And, of course, if that were the case, the Cuban Communists would be the most guilty of all - they don't obey it one bit. The Communists of Cuba refuse to agree to it and blatantly disregard it, yet you want to find fault with us! That's really, really weird, Bandit.

Once again, reality is not as simple and knee-jerk-able as you're able to perceive. I'm sorry about that, but that's just what is. I know you're wanting everything to match what's already in your brain, but virtually everything already in your brain is wrong because you were never really able to learn it right in the first place.

If you're still getting help, keep doing that. If you're not, think about going back. In the meantime, if you're still going to keep coming here, please simply read and concentrate on learning from what you're reading rather than constantly exploding and then posting your outbursts. If, after some months or years of learning how things really work, you want to offer something, that would be great.

And, considering that this topic is of your creation, it would be really great if you could stick to it!

No, they'll just hear about the Bush-anointed ruling class trying to steal it from them at gunpoint.

That's completely illogical, Bandit. Think about it - fundamentally built on libertarianism, conservatism frees the individual from government, minimizing the size and power of government. In other words, there is no "ruling class" in a society that isn't "ruled!"

But that's not really important right now. Again, you seem to be trying to change the subject of your own topic! Really nutty stuff, Bandit!

By the way, yes, your website still exists! I searched "bandit newport library radio ky phone books," and there you were at the top of the list!

Readers can learn all they need to know about Bandit from his bio - http://members.iglou.com/bandit/bio.html (Should Bandit suddenly decide to remove it, Google has it cached; it's quite the story!) From the bio, you can go to the homepage and learn all kinds of interesting things about the inner workings of the mind of Bandit! Once seeing these things, you'll finally be able to make sense of his current posts and all future posts.

By the way, it's the 1996 picture that has stuck in my head as being the definitive essence of Bandit. :D

Then how do you explain this Federal Marriage Amendment garbage?

And let me ask you, my friend...WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH RADIO ???

So what if you don't like Conservatives? Many people do...and in a place like SW Ohio, a conservative FM talker makes much more sense than putting Air America on an FM.

Honestly, dude, you need to chill out, drink a few beers, and come back down to earth and talk about radio. Leave the damn political B.S. for other message boards. Nobody will magically convert to your opinions by reading your rants on R-I.

Much love,

Radio-X

How? Extraordinarily easily. But that's not the subject of this topic or of the board.

Bandit, you started this topic. Stick to your own topic!
