An example of why the Nationalist / America first movements are continually ineffective.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[url]http://69.28.73.17/thornarticles/schaenkstadtmiller.html[/url]

Last week, John Stadtmiller (pictured), president of the Republic Broadcasting Network, cancelled Peter Schaenk’s Peter Principle radio show. The reason for this termination stemmed from an appearance by Bill White, spokesman for the National Socialist Movement, who was scheduled to speak about the media-hyped “race riots” in Toledo, Ohio.

As with most interviews, the topic of conversation progressed to other subjects, and soon Schaenk’s guest was discussing the Constitution in relation to 18th century Freemasonry, America’s attitude toward ‘legal fetishism,’ and the possible myth of Holocaust death camps during World War II.

To be sure, all of the above talking points are hot button issues, but we need to ask ourselves a very important question: considering that free speech in relation to taboo subjects has become virtually non-existent in our popular culture due to hyper-sensitive political correctness (i.e. the Zionist-controlled corporate networks), the alternative media would appear to be the final bastion for undaunted First Amendment rights.

But regrettably, as we have so readily pointed-out during the past year on WING TV, censorship is alive and well – even thriving – at venues such as GCN, the Neo-con Clear Channel-dominated Coast-to-Coast AM, and now even RBN. As we have illustrated time and again, Alex Jones alters, deletes, and manipulates his print and radio archives to such an extent that he has become known as the King of Censorship. The same concept applies in varying degrees to George Noory, Art Bell, Amy Goodman, the 9-11 Mafia, and Mike Ruppert --- all of whom don’t necessarily “censor” material overtly; but instead simply prevent or conceal vital information from becoming available to their audiences. This practice is so widespread that the alternative media is now on par with their counterparts in the mainstream, and that should send shockwaves through every person who still has a pulse in their body.

Anyway, in an October 21, 2005 article entitled Republic Broadcasting Network Yanks Shanktalk, Peter Schaenk commented on his recent firing. “With patriots like these, who needs a dictator?” He continued, “Evidently our interview was too hot for the management at RBN. I believe our broadcast was civilized, and there was no profanity or anything that might be considered worth censoring. Yet my boss at RBN [John Stadtmiller] feels that your group [the Nationalist Socialist Movement] doesn’t have the right to free speech.”

Now, whether one agrees with the opinions of Bill White, or any other individual in our society today, we need to consider once again where we stand on freedom of speech. If we’ve realized that our government, mainstream media, schools, and churches have historically suppressed information, then the last hope we have of hearing and/or reading uncensored political expression is in the alternative media. In other words, if this avenue is impeded or restricted, there are few, if any, other possibilities; and the result is that we’ll end up staring into an abyss of nothingness.

Which brings us back to Peter Schaenk, whose insight into this phenomenon is so on-the-mark that his voice should be heard far-and-wide. In a response to investigative journalist Thomas Holbrook, he comments on the prevalent role censorship has assumed in the alternative media:

      “Censorship is now the policy of RBN, RFA, and GCN. The Patriot movement is too           preoccupied with appearances that might be misconstrued as ‘racist’ by the Zionist media.           This is not the way to create a meaningful coalition to fight the corrupt Zionist regime. A           group who spends its time worrying about what the regime in power might think will not last           long as an independent group. It will eventually become like the group it claims to oppose by           kow-towing to that group’s criticism.”

Schaenk then directly addresses what transpired at RBN in regard to John Stadtmiller, RBN’s owner:

      “I thought a network that claimed to be ‘uncensored’ as RBN claims would allow all sides of           a story to be heard over the air. Evidently, Caucasian groups don’t have the right to come on           the air and give their position in today’s current political environment. Think about it. How           many other RBN/GCN shows have white groups on to discuss their point of view? Answer …           Zip, None, Nada. Some of the hosts reluctantly talk about the Zionist controlled media, but           what does it matter when you behave as if you were part of that media elite?

      I am not a Socialist, Nationalist, or otherwise, but I believe something as important as the           Toledo riots called for the other side of the story. We have heard the non-white side of the           story for days on the Zionist controlled media. Mr. White and the National Socialists weren’t           allowed a chance to give their side of the story; the side of the story that represents the plight           of the Polish neighborhood under attack. Say what you want about Nazis, but they have a           right to be heard, as do ALL Americans. Not just the non-white, PC crowd. Why should we           fight to prevent ‘Hate Speech’ legislation from passing when we have “Patriot” groups           implementing their own “Hate Speech” and “censorship” laws?

      I was told that Stadtmiller accused me of yelling “FIRE” in a crowded theater on my           broadcast. Listen to my interview with Bill White and tell me if I was lying or making up a           story out of whole cloth. I have no agenda or axe to grind. I was in search of the truth and the           other side of the story. If the theater is on fire then you must yell “FIRE” to get people out of           the building. It is the only humane thing to do.”

In the sake of fairness, John Stadtmiller was given an opportunity to address this issue, yet he reacted in a manner which leaves a lot to be desired. Late last week, Thomas Holbrook of TH2 Underground News contacted Mr. Stadtmiller at his office and told him that, as an independent journalist, he was trying to get both sides of this story. This, in our opinion, is indicative of what responsible research should be. But instead of answering for his actions, Stadtmiller responded, “Print what you will. I will not turn this into a high school debate.” Stadtmiller then very unceremoniously slammed down the phone and hung-up, which has regrettably become one of his trademarks.

Lastly, Schaenk sums up what he considers quite possibly the impetus for this rampant wave of Big Brother-style tactics: “This censorship started with Radio Free Austin, and evidently it has infected the entire ‘Patriot/Truth’ (and I use that term mockingly) movement. I believe it’s time to make people aware of the hypocrisy of this group.”

We at WING TV can vouch for RFA’s heavy-handed tactics, for a number of micro-broadcasters (all under RFA’s umbrella) yanked Frank Whalen’s radio show while it was still on the air when he was interviewing Lisa Guliani and me on June 23, 2005. Ironically, at the time the plug was pulled on this show, we were discussing Alex Jones’ censorship practices!

Furthermore, one of RFA’s most prominent members is none other than Mike Hansen, who is not only closely affiliated with Alex Jones as his former cameraman, but also called into Whalen’s show during our interview threatening to take Frank Whalen’s show down. (This was, by the way, just prior to four Texas micro-broadcasters cutting Whalen’s feed and refusing to carry his show for many months afterward.)

Coincidentally, earlier this year Peter Schaenk wrote about how Alex Jones was instrumental in having Radio Free Austin pull his show from their line-up. Peter Schaenk Speaks Out

As you can see, a tangled web of overt censorship has descended over the alternative media, and Peter Schaenk’s firing is the latest example of it. Worse, his dismissal won’t be the last, for the iron-hand of Big Brother is being unleashed by the alternative media network structure – i.e. GCN, RBN, RFA, Pacifica Radio, and Coast-to-Coast AM.

Can you hear what I’m saying? The ‘networks’ in our midst operate under the exact same censorship, fear, and retribution guidelines as do the corporate Zionist mainstream media networks. They use the same techniques to keep their listeners CONTAINED in nice little paralytic boxes. Or, as Peter Schaenk explained in an online debate with Jack Blood on October 25, 2005, both networks (GCN & RBN) are terrified of, “Being exposed for what they have become. Money making scams used to foment fear in the Patriot community in order to sell ‘End of the World’ products.” He added, “If they won’t talk about the issues and won’t have all sides on to discuss different points of view, then they are using their positions in broadcasting for propaganda and not truth-seeking. They are no more than a propaganda whorehouse instead of an information clearinghouse.” WING TV couldn’t agree more with this sentiment. Luckily, there are a few exceptions to this rule, like Frank Whalen and others on our Radio A List; but by and large, the only solution at hand right now is to place our hope in the truly independent broadcasters who don’t fall under the tyrannical grip of these censorship-motivated networks.

To ultimately be free, finding new truths is vital, but losing one’s illusions is even more essential.

BK-

Forgive a stupid question. What do YOU mean when you say 'alternative media?' I checked some of your links. Some have some pretty informative stuff on them.

You post talks about people I've never heard of. Radio shows and such. Are there people putting out good info without the hate?

I've lost a lot of my illusions, but the important stuff is still intact.

Gregor,

I beg your forgivness, as I may have been a bit harsh in my post above. There is some very good programing out there in the alternative media, just like any other media, you have a wide variety of opinions, personalities and such.

One of my favorite programs is The Derry Brownfield Show, On WWCR shortwave (10:06 - 11:00AM central, frequency: 12.160), and also on the forementioned Republic Broadcasting Network.

BTW - What are some of the favorite programs that everyone listens to? AM-FM, shortwave, satellite, webcasting, ect?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [url]http://www.derrybrownfield.com/[/url]

"New Shortwave Radio Frequency" Listen on WWCR 12.160 10:06a -11a (Central) Monday thru Friday DERRY BROWNFIELD Founder of the

Brownfield Network and “The Derry Brownfield Show”

Derry Brownfield was born in 1932 and grew up during the Depression. He is a farmer and a broadcaster. Derry attended the College of Agriculture at the University of Missouri where he received his BS and MS degrees. He taught Vocational Agriculture several years before going to work as a Marketing Specialist with the Missouri Department of Agriculture. Derry served as Director of the Kansas City Livestock Market Foundation at the Kansas City Stockyards prior to establishing himself in farm broadcasting.

Derry started farming when he was sixteen years old and received the Future Farmers of America State Farmer degree in 1949. Since that time the Brownfield Farm has grown to over 1000 acres maintaining a herd of 200 registered Charolais cows.

In 1972, Derry and his partner established the Brownfield Network which currently serves 230 radio stations throughout the Midwest with farm news and market information.

In 1994, Derry started his own syndicated radio talk show and he is one of the most popular radio talk show hosts in America. The Derry Brownfield Show can be heard on over 80 radio stations in approximately 23 states. With his entertaining sense of humor and witty commentary he has captured audiences for over 30 years. His ability to present and informative talk show while being light and colorful is why he has a large loyal listening audience.

Sertorious,

I checked out RBN. I will see if I can get it. Do they only broadcast on the 'Net? Any AM/FM stations carry those guys in the Midwest?

Franco,

By creed I am forbidden to hate, 'be angry, but sin not'. I can fight, even destroy, but hatred kills MY heart and I won't let that happen. When Jesus said to love your enemies, He didn't say they weren't enemies. I could possibly turn the other cheek to a personal attack, but in the protection of those I love, taking up the sword sometimes becomes necessary. Even if those who 'take the sword, die by it.' But even if that becomes necessary, I can act without darkening my soul. As I was telling Petr, there are people to reach with this message who can't handle invective, but who would listen to a reasoned approach. Indeed they MUST.

Thanks Knight,

I didn't think you were particularly harsh. Passionate advocacy is a virtue. In fact it gave some good insight into the workings of an outlet I had no idea existed. (clunky sentence) I used to hear Brownfield for years doing the commodities reports back in Iowa and Minne. I wondered if it was the same guy. Nice connection for 'evangelization.'

I believe they run short wave broadcasts as well. Speaking for myself, I take everything they say save that of Terry Anderson with a big grain of salt.

[quote=Texas Dissident]"Hate what is evil." Romans 12:9

"Love you neighbor as yourself." -many places.

Hating a principle and hating people are two different things. "Hating the sin, while loving the sinner" may not be a verse but it certainly does the scripture no damage. Hating your enemy causes him no harm, but it hurts the one who hates. It's counterproductive and may even give your adversary ammunition against you. Hatred has all but completely marginalized the message of white nationalism. Unnecessarily, I might add.

For that, or any other important, well-reasoned messages that this forum espouses, enmity obscures the point. Those who NEED to hear can't if hatred is in the way.

For the record I don't disagree with you, Gregor. I just wanted to point out that there is no Scriptural prohibition against hate per se. Indeed, as you can see St. Paul instructs us to hate evil.

For that, or any other important, well-reasoned messages that this forum espouses, enmity obscures the point. Those who NEED to hear can't if hatred is in the way.

With regards to the well-reasoned messages that this board or more broadly, white nationalism, espouses, again I agree. In order to garner and/or maintain success, our message must be a message rooted in love, specifically a love for one's own. Starting with one's own immediate family and emanating outwardly to one's racial brethren. To my mind, that is true conservatism in a nutshell and is best rooted, understood and practiced within the ideological framework of historic, Western Christianity.

We are definitely singing from the same sheet of music.

I actually believe that the majority of the American public, and especially the christian part of it, is ready to hear that America is unduly influenced by those who do not have our country's best interests in mind. The machinations have been going on for years. Some have been shouting 'fire!', but their rhetoric has clouded their message. Plus it's given the cryptocracy (love that one!) cover.

A straightforward, "just the facts ma'am" approach is what is needed to convince the dog-tired working public to start noticing who's benefitting from the incipient 'global plantation'.

In fact, leave the hatred for the other side and capitalize on it. For instance, I believe if even a significant minority of the christians who support Zionism knew of the blatant hatred and bigotry put forth in the Talmud, the unblinkered support for Israel would evaporate. Because that minority would evangelize the rest. It's dyed in the wool.

But they will NEVER listen to our arguments for that if we're using racial epithets to describe the OPFOR or ridiculing those taken in by their lies. I mean, do you wanna win the war, or the cat fight?
