KZYX in Philo, California experiencing various kinds of covert action? A few nights ago, I tried calling one of my favorite independent radio stations as I had done for years before.

Was this merely "rain in the phone lines" as the DJ thought? Or some kind of jamming technique being directed at independent radio?...

Deliberate Dysfunction? KPFA's Decade of Financial Mismanagement And now today in 2018, the SK are openly calling for bankruptcy! What a coincidence! Who would've ever guessed!
Now let's look at SK tactics, strategy. I mentioned the September 2005 minority report by Max Blanchet, the warning about excessive spending. Also in the same month of that same year, an email from Brian Edwards-Tiekert of SK was leaked; in it Brian had written to his group, "How do we make our enemies own the problems that are to come?" and that has been SK strategy all these ...

What The Dickens Is Going On? (Some Slightly More Accurate Info on KPFA/Pacifica) Pacifica should make every effort to remain independent and not be eager to throw up its member-purchased assets for grabs, at the discretion of the federal government and a creditors committee headed by an aggressive capitalist real estate speculator and billionaire.
