MAXAM, PACIFIC, PACIFICA, KPFT COMPARED

by Albert Kada (davecom [at] io.com)
Two motherships, two children, one steals for money, the other steals for ingnorance sake. Pacific lumber is alledgedly blaming Maxxam, the parent company. Pacifica radio uses downstream mismanagement to steal what belongs to the community and others.
I have no doubts that Maxxam and Pacific Lumber do commit blasphemy against nature and violent crimes for money. Money is a compelling and common reason for human injustice against nature. The blasphemers benefit from luxury and power.

KPFT, a radio broadcasting license owned by Pacifica radio network, and managed by a snooty Montrose social club, uses public airwaves to collect money for an alledged non profit organization, who redistributes copyrighted songs and other material on the internet. This alledged "community" radio station used its signal for commercial advertising on the internet for at least one year, maybe longer.

After many complaints to KPFT and Pacifica network I noticed that some of the commercial ads have been removed.

KPFT and Pacifica have no compelling reason to engage in these activities. The blasphemey benefits the staff only.

This "not for profit" radio station deals with the general public like a corporation does. They ignore them. When they do get caught stealing, red handed, they won't admit it, and they refuse to change.

I asked the staff at KPFT recently how much it cost the station to support KPFT dot org and their web activities. They informed me that it was funded by volunteer paid staff member Otis Mclay. When I pointed out that they were stealing a community funded radio station's signal, repeatedly, they changed the name of the web site that offers the signal to KPFTx dot org. This is supposed to be another creative non-profit organization, I guess.

Pacifica lumber is a creative non profit organization that can blame their activities on Maxxam.

I suggested a method of extending the effective range of KPFT by using the internet and a managed system of distribution which was of course ignored.

KPFT, Pacifica, and Pacific are all reactionary organizations. They react, when they have to, to complaints and suggestions in a way that further benefits the activity that the complainer is complaining about, if at all possible. This effective principle of management and denial is equaly useful in politics, and by CEFMI's like the G-8.

Why do something challenging, when stealing is so easy?

I asked the KPFT staff how the signal gets to Otis's site and most acted like they did not know. Two possibilities include diverting the signal to the internet before broadcasting, or recieving the broadcasted signal at the ISP for redistribution. These are separate and different crimes.

When I questioned one of the station's technical staff about signal routing I was told that he didn't want any one snooping around his studio because he wants to monopolize the operations himself. Great. Another volunteer told me that this same person was considered "God" when it came to studio operations. If god was in the studio they could get a signal from Greg Palast or New Orleans.

When I asked KPFT how much they collected in donations from listeners outside the effective broadcast range of the signal, they did not provide the information. I was not interviewing the staff to write an article. I AM A LISTENER-SPONSOR VOLUNTEER.

Interstingly enough, KPFT claims to have a data base of information about the listener-sponsors. The whole idea behind having a database is to generate reports like the one I asked for. If that report is difficult to generate, then there is something wrong with the database at KPFT. It is probably some kind of Windows thing. Like many databases, it seems to hinder their operation and cover up information more than it serves.

KPFT has at least four computers in the studio using monopolized technology. I don't expect to get any straight answers from the staff about how much they spend on computers and software. However, if Microsoft and others don't pay them to use it, then it cost too much, because of the dependency on Microsoft that will develop because of its use.

KPFT has continued, despite warnings, to become ever more dependant on monopolized technology.

The world has gotten a good taste of monopolized computer technology and the wonders it can lead to. Hear are a few.

Napster-copyrighted music and video stealing company.

Windows-proprietary operating system that uses unfair business practices to steal other people's programing code and run them out of business. They also force their influence on the makers of computers and peripherals. Windows provides a perfect platform for Napster. Napster clearly stated to all its clients how the program was intended to work. These clients all knew they were stealing. Windows also provides a perfect platform for malicious code.

Computerized voting machines-This ingenious democracy stealer can be attributed to what I call "What Button Training". "What Button Training" is the idea that if you know what button to push on a graphic interface, that you have been "trained" or even "certified" to operate a computer. This misconception has infiltrated the public school system. This training method, and other widespread misinformation about computers has led to a kind of blind faith in the machine. If some one who gets paid a lot tells them that it works, they will believe it.

Computer viruses-KPFT recognizes the existence of computer viruses. I don't. Malicious code is common, however in freeware and other proprietary software. This economic weapon was used against South Korea recently.

Maxxam, headquartered in Houston, alledgedly owns Pacific Lumber. Pacific Lumber's most notible recent blasphemey occured in the Pacific northwest.

KPFT's radio license, is owned by Pacifica, a radio network that originated in the Pacific Northwest, not far from what is known as silicon valley.

The economy in the Pacific northwest had been booming for several years because of federal spending and the alledged notion that these elitist dominated areas "attract the best and the brightest" computer programers and other frauds.

"Technology" and computer crime, which have become synonymous, was one of the main dynamics of this boom. Combined with complex yet convenient financial schemes, this world capital of neo-liberalism was brimming with consumerism and nonsense.

Ironicaly, energy conglomerates, spoiled their party, by using computer crime, (unregulated commodities trading on computers) and other monopoly practices to intentionaly ruin their economy.

During this boom to bust cycle, KPFT hosted "Technology Bites", a free Windows help desk on community radio to appease the often confused and angry users of Windows and other monopolized gadgetry.

I can't do anything about Maxxam until I get Microsoft under control. Neither of these companies have any intention of giving in to protestors with cardboard signs.

The G-8 are even less concerned with peasants.

California, Texas, and the US get the government that their people deserve.

Many of the listener-sponsors of KPFT are in fact computer programers and energy traders. Phillip Jackson, news reader and volunteer at KPFT allegedly writes computer programing for money. I wonder if he turns over the source code to his unsuspecting victims.

Since volunteering to answer phones during a pledge drive at KPFT, I am convinced that I will never donate to KPFT or any affiliate of Pacifica again.

Maxxam uses their own stolen capital to finance their criminal activities. Duane Bradley, Otis, and J lee need to do the same.

Those three morons, need to get to work on that handicappers thing and stay the hell out of technical operations.
