Chip-

You might call this an "alternative" or "underground" station which
focuses on exposing the "shadow government" and the demise of the
U.S. Constitution that the regular media does not want to talk
about. It has a populist orientation with a very healthy disrespect
for our current plutocratic establishment of "government by the
wealthy". Every time I listen in, it makes me think of what the
Soviet people must have felt when the secretly listened to the
broadcasts of Radio Free Europe twenty years ago or so.... I expect
somebody to start jamming it any day.....

Programming is specifically oriented toward making people aware of
lies and deception emmanating from our "shadow government", how it
works, who is _really_ running the show, why they do the things they
do and how they are systematically dismantling the middle class to
create a world of "unarmed, uneducated peasants". This is like
something out of a textbook on the causes of the French Revolution!
It will make you blood boil and your adrenalin flow, I assure you!
There is, for example, quite a bit of material relating to how the
Free Trade Agreement with Mexico will adversely affect American
jobs, _why_ it is so important for the establishment to push it
through and how Bush/Clinton/Congress have sold their souls (and our
country) "down the river" to the New World Dictatorship to create an
environment conducive to replacing democracy with feudalism. There's
also an emphasis on the non-constitutional nature of the Federal
Reserve Board and how the Big Banks "own" this country, not you!

This station represents major "backlash" to Russ Limbaugh, Bush,
Clinton and the "Party with two names". IT will give you
perspective that ABC/NBC/CBS or even PBS/CNN won't!

Beg, borrow or steal a shortwave radio! This is well worth checking
out!

The For The People ("FTP") programming is from 8-10 p.m. and Radio
Free America ("RFA") airs from 10-midnight.

               *****Both are *weeknights* only.*****

This is a Christian station at other times. Apparently RFA &
FTP buy transmitter time from them weeknights. RFA is does _not_
have a religious orientation--it's hardcore political issues all the
way. Both programs have commercials for "alternative" books,
newspapers, etc. but I think they are both 501c3 non-profit
corporations and sell stuff to fund their cause. I don't find them
offensive. Most of the stuff they sell is very "political" so the
some of the commercials are actually kind of interesting...

I understand that RFA and FTP also air on some other radio networks
so you might want to check you local listings. The "Sun Radio
Network" carries one of them, I believe.... Ask your local stations
to start carying them!

Note: I bought one of the $39 digital shortwave radios in the DAK
catalog a year ago. Damn nice little radio for the money.... I
listen to RFA/FTP with it all the time without an external antenna! (I'm
in western NY, their transmitter is in Tennessee.)
