I found this story rather revealing = this network's connections to the
Prince of the Netherlands and Royal Family (used by ocmmunists) and to
the UN give lots of room for thought.
So for whom do they act as a front? Why the UN.....they worry about
mass immigration to Europe now and the EU not paying the UN big bucks as
they once did....maybe this is the start of he end of this thing they
call the UN where a Monarch such as Prince Bernhard would sit on equal
basis with Zulu Chiefton?
You got to be kidding; but what are these creeps doing monitoring
American radio programs - in particular ones that do not like this New
World Order.......
Hey Mark from Michigan - you made the big time - in same show as Queen
of Netherlands and Prince......what, this one small voice is such a
threat but then truth, does have a way of being squelched which makes it
burn all the brighter over time.
Now we see too the ADL Connection who has been after Dr Pierce for years
for he will not let them forget the USS Liberty?
What about mass murder in Africa? Stealaing diamonds from Sudan;
genocide of Palestinians?

Conspiracy Theories
Several hate radios operate in the United States. A white supremacist
organisation, the National Alliance, spreads its message to the public
via several media: a weekly radio programme, a variety of recorded audio
and video materials, and a wide range of printed publications.
"The National Alliance's weekly program, [launched in December 1991],
reaches White people around the world via shortwave radio at several
times and frequencies. In addition [since 1992], a number of AM
broadcasting stations in the United States carry the program to local or
area audiences. The program is aimed at a more general audience than
most of the National Alliance's other media. It reaches many thousands
of people each week who know that something is seriously wrong with the
way their world is being run, but who need help in understanding the
details and in comprehending the overall picture, so that they can
accept their responsibility to work for a better future..."
Recent editions of "American Dissident Voices" are now also available on
the Internet in a variety of different audio formats. The National
Alliance Web site's description of the broadcast of March 25th gives a
clear idea of the aims of the programme: " Dr. Pierce says that the
current assault on White people is an engineered assault. The change in
American immigration laws to bring in millions of non-Whites while
cutting off the immigration of Whites from Europe; the refusal to round
up and deport illegal immigrants except on a token scale; the forced
integration of Whites with non-Whites in schools, neighborhoods, and
work places; and the encouragement of miscegenation by the controlled
mass media are all deliberate. Dr. Pierce discusses what we can do to
fight back".
A number of private shortwave stations air programmes which may loosely
be termed "patriotic". The largest in terms of geographical coverage is
Worldwide Christian Radio (WWCR) based in Nashville. WWCR distributes
approximately 400 programmes internationally to Europe, the Middle East,
Africa and North America. Most cover religious subjects, but a small
proportion of the programmes WWCR transmits on shortwave are aimed at an
audience characterised as "patriots".
The number of such programmes aired by WWCR has been steadily reduced
during the past decade, and the most controversial have moved to other
stations. The contracts of some organizations were terminated following
the April 19, 1993, attack at David Koresh's Branch Davidian compound
near Waco and again after the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City bombing by
Terry Nichols. Shortly after the Oklahoma City bombing, WWCR talk show
host Mark Koernke, broadcasting as "Mark of Michigan," warned his
listeners that the US government may have been responsible for the worst
act of terrorism ever committed on US soil. Responding to a flood of
protest, WWCR took Koernke off the air. The management of WWCR now pay
close attention to the content of all broadcasts aired on the station.
However, at least some of the displaced organizations are now hiring
airtime on other private shortwave stations, examples being WWFV in
McCaysville, Georgia and WBCQ ("The Planet") in Maine. WBCQ serves North
America, the Caribbean and most of South America and is owned by Allan
H. Weiner, who gained notoriety as the owner of various unlicensed
stations before finally getting a permit to broadcast legally on
shortwave.
Bob Grant (right), a presenter on WOR-AM, a MW station operating from
New York, conducted a hate campaign against Indian immigrants in Iselin,
a community in New Jersey, which he called "the Black Hole of Calcutta".
Following a particularly vitriolic attack on 12th December 1996,
swastikas and ethnic slurs were spray-painted on a home and two
businesses in Iselin, all belonging to citizens who came from
India. One of these two businesses was also hit with gun-fire in a
window. Additionally, a home in Iselin belonging to an African American
family was painted with a slur and a swastika, all these acts took place
the following day.
USA/Cuba
Many exiled Cuban stations, clandestine or not, broadcast from the USA.
Some are more virulent than others.
La Voz de Alpha 66 is one of the most militant exile broadcasts,
occasionally calling on the Cuban people to commit acts of sabotage
against the Castro government (such as burning sugar cane fields). They
claim to have agents on the island, and to send agents to Cuba from time
to time on special missions.
This may be true, or it may be promotional claims used to generate
support. Alpha has a camp in South Florida for paramilitary training,
target shooting, etc.
During the 1980's, La Voz de Alpha 66 operated clandestinely but its
operation was detected and shut down by the US Federal Communications
Commission several times, the last time in 1989. Alpha 66 now broadcasts
legally by buying airtime on WHRI, a religious shortwave station in
Indiana, also on WRMI, a commercial shortwave station in Miami, Florida
and via a local AM station.

Regional conflicts and civil wars with their appalling consequences in
the form of human rights abuse, genocide and "ethnic cleansing", have
become the principal threat to international order since the end of the
Cold War. They have caused the deaths of millions and forced frequent
international military interventions, costly in both human and financial
terms. Nowadays, more often than ever in the past, the media,
particularly the electronic media, are instrumental in setting off and
sustaining these wars and conflicts. In spite of this, media
intervention does not belong yet to the established set of tools used
for the prevention or resolution of conflicts, or in peace-keeping
operations, unlike military or humanitarian interventions. This is
probably due to the fact that media intervention tends to come as a
reaction to crises rather than as an instrument to pre-empt or prevent
them. It also poses a number of difficult issues and even contradictions
according to the forms it takes.
The latter need to be tackled if media intervention is to become the
effective tool it ought to be.
Reactive media intervention: "negative" and "positive" actions
"Negative" media intervention includes jamming or switching off
programmes altogether, measures which can be applied either separately
or jointly, and are used to deal swiftly and effectively with the
offending media, and to signal resolve. However, as they mainly rely on
coercion and run contrary to many accepted norms and rules in terms of
freedom of speech and national sovereignty, they also raise a number of
issues. Furthermore, as they are sometimes technically difficult to
implement and not always fully effective they are rarely used.
Jamming has been used extensively for a long time throughout the world
at times of war and of peace to disrupt military communications or
"propaganda" broadcasts. The latter use makes jamming highly unpalatable
to many in democratic countries.
Technically, jamming requires the means to produce broadcast signals
locally in the case of FM broadcasts, either through transmitters based
in or near the target area stations, or from aircraft flying near the
target zone. This method was used by the US military in the Gulf War, in
operations in Grenada, Panama and Haiti operations and more recently on
a wide scale in the Kosovo operation, where the US Air Force used
converted C-130 transport aircraft, the EC-130 Commando Solo, to jam TV
and radio broadcasts and substitute messages on any frequency. At the
end of the war, Yugoslav officials reported over 400 NATO attempts to
replace Yugoslav radio and TV programmes with their own broadcasts aired
from Romania, Hungary, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Albania or from US EC-130
Commando Solo aircraft.
Ground-based jamming of FM broadcasts (figure 1) requires the local
deployment of transmitters and is thus dependent on the good will of
local authorities or neighbouring countries, and the availability of
electric power to operate the equipment. It might also involve the
deployment of troops on the ground to protect the equipment and its
operators.
Airborne jamming is costly and dependent on the possibility of deploying
aircraft in the required zone, and may require additional aircraft or
ground forces to protect the jamming aircraft from attacks. Jamming of
SW and AM broadcasts (figure 2 ) can be achieved from further afield.
In Rwanda in 1994 the UN military commander in Kigali, Gen Romeo
Dallaire, some international human rights organisations and even several
US senators called for hate broadcasts by RTLM to be jammed.
Switching off broadcasts can be achieved by destroying or seizing
broadcasting equipment.
This was the method used during the 1991 Gulf War, when Iraqi
transmitters were destroyed, in 1995 in Bosnia-Hercegovina, when NATO
forces destroyed the Bosnian Serb radio and TV transmitters, and again
later on a number of occasions in Bosnia-Hercegovina where Bosnian Serb
transmitters were either occupied or switched off temporarily until they
had complied with provisions of the Dayton agreement or Sfor
requirements to stop inflammatory broadcasts.
The 1999 Kosovo conflict provided the first attempt to implement this
approach on a massive scale. Serb radio and TV (RTS) transmitter and
aerial installions were extensively attacked and even Belgrade's main
RTS building was the target of a missile attack which killed several RTS
employees and provoked angry international reactions on the part of
other broadcasters and media bodies. At the end of the war Serb official
sources claimed that NATO had carried out over 400 attacks on
broadcasting facilities, firing over 1,000 missiles at them, destroying
17 out of 19 transmitters and causing damage estimated at over one
billion dollars.
As both jamming and switching off transmitters call for sophisticated
technical capabilities, available to a few countries only, and the use
of coercion, which requires a minimum of international consensus, they
are not generally easy to implement. Furthermore they are not always
efficient, particularly in the case of mobile transmitters (as was the
case of Rwanda, when RTLM switched to a mobile FM transmitter after the
Rwandese Patriotic Front forces shelled its Kigali transmitter). They
are also relatively slow to deploy.
"Positive" media intervention is achieved through support for local
independent media and the production and dissemination of independent,
unbiased broadcasts by "peace" radio or TV stations. These measures -
particularly in the case of peace broadcasters - are also dependent on a
number of factors, such as the possibility to operate locally (thus
requiring the tacit agreement of local authorities, warring factions or
neighbouring countries), proper financing and the possibility to start
operating fairly rapidly.
These conditions are seldom met and, as a result, peace broadcasts do
not usually play a significant role in conflict prevention, at best they
are used in conflict resolution or peace-keeping.
Some examples of the difficulties encountered by peace broadcasters
confirm the seriousness of the problem:
Local conditions: Radio Agatashya, broadcasting to Rwandan refugees in
the wake of the 1994 conflict had to close its operations following
argument with the local authorities, other stations, such as Studio
Ijambo, also received threats from warring factions. The Monrovia-based
US-financed Star Radio had its frequencies withdrawn for several weeks
by the Liberian government in early 1998, with broadcasts resuming after
pressures from foreign governments.
Financing: The delay in obtaining financing for peace broadcasts, or the
long-term commitment to do so on the part of regional organisations or
governments, is illustrated by the delay observed in the way the EU
allocates funds, even when these are needed urgently (12-18 months is
more a rule than an exception), or the way the US government ensures the
funding of Star Radio in Liberia (no long-term plan with the station
facing the constant risk of being switched off at fairly short notice).
By contrast the very swift allocation of funds by the Swiss government
to Fondation Hirondelle to ensure the operations of Radio Agatashya
deserves a special mention.
"Preventive" media intervention
As reactive media intervention proves difficult to implement other
measures of a preventive nature, or which could be implemented at very
short notice - and at relatively modest cost - should also be
considered, a solution which strangely enough does not seem to have been
considered so far. These preventive measures could take the form of
direct pressures on the interested parties: International bilateral and
multilateral aid could be suspended and made conditional on the
suppression of "hate" broadcasts; officials from countries tolerating or
even supporting such broadcasts would be denied visas, they, or their
relatives, could be prevented from settling or studying abroad, their
personal assets overseas could be frozen.
Warning could be issued to those engaging in hate broadcasts that they
could face possible prosecution for genocide or incitement to genocide.
[Hey what would you call what they did to South Africa - UN Love? Saba
Note]
These measures would certainly have proven effective in 1994 in the case
of Rwanda where official involvement in RTLM was obvious, and where many
officials had property and bank accounts or relatives living or studying
in European countries.
For a fresh approach to media intervention: combining preventive and
reactive measures, negative and positive actions
The current difficulties encountered by the "negative" and "positive"
forms of reactive media intervention, such as the delay usually taken to
deploy and implement them, and their financing, means that a fresh
approach is required and that preventive measures should also be
deployed if media intervention is to become a proper tool of conflict
prevention and resolution.
An original solution, combining negative and positive measures under the
aegis of the United Nations, has been put forward by Jamie F. Metzl, a
former UN human rights officer, in an article published in the
November-December 1997 issue of the US magazine 'Foreign Affairs'
(Metzl also defended the legitimacy of jamming hate broadcasts in an
article published in the 'American Journal of International Law' in
October 1997). [Foreign Affairs is CFR publication - Saba Note]
Metzl writes that the United Nations should establish an independent
information unit "monitoring, peace broadcasting and, in extreme cases,
jamming [hate] radio and television broadcasts." The unit would not act
on a case-by-case basis but would have a standing authority to carry out
its function with the Security Council maintaining veto power over its
actions. Furthermore, argues Metzl, "it would go a long way towards
securing human rights short of costly, largescale military investments."
Metzl recalls that the UN commander in Rwanda in 1994, Gen Romeo
Dallaire, said afterwards "that simply jamming Hutu broadcasts and
replacing them with messages of peace and reconciliation would have had
a significant impact on the course of events in Rwanda." The approach
advocated by Metzl would certainly present a number of advantages, in
particular the speed of execution so important to media intervention.
Media intervention is likely to spread in years to come as it will
become one of a range of tools available to help prevent, limit or
resolve conflicts.
It might even preclude in many instances costly military interventions.
Its success will depend on the ability of the international community to
react swiftly, preferably at the outset of crises, and to call on the
full scope of available preventive and reactive measures, including both
negative and positive actions. Proper monitoring of local media in zones
of conflict will prove instrumental in achieving this aim.
